Don't you see, Dipstikk? He puts stereotypical black people in his skits to offset the whole "making fun of white people" thing. It's one of the only shows on television that insults BOTH races equally.
Take the infamous "Mad Real World" skit, which I found infuriating the first time I watched it, but later realized it was quite funny. The skit had the sappiest white guy ever. However, then Chapelle adds Tron, the epitome of the "lazy black man," and Tyrone, the bad black "prison rape" stereotype. It's just as insulting to the black race, if not more, than the white race. Therefore, everyone can laugh.
And with the whole "slave" thing, I'm assuming you're talking about the "Player Haters go back in time," which was pulled off the air and later viewed in Chapelle's "worst of" episode. Yeah, it had a black guy shooting a white guy. Yeah, it criticized the whole slavery thing. But it was funny. He fucking killed a slave holder. That's gold.
And just so you know, Dave's co-writer (or something), Neil, is white. He helped Dave come up with several sketches, probably including many you found offensive, racist, or hypocritical.
I'm done.
