I was looking for a stream of clayton bigsby skit (black supremacist) and found this, thought it summed it up well

BET.com: No, I haven't seen Tyrone. But I saw Clayton Bigsby.

Dave Chappelle: Yeah, Clayton is the blind White supremacist. Tyrone is the crackhead. I just always get a big kick out of him and then Clayton Bigsby of course. It's the kind of character that a Black dude would never play. For a Black dude to play this point of view, you have to think. You really got to stretch how you do something like that, and it's a hard thing to comment on if you're doing a show with a Black star. A Clayton Bigsby skit, as foul as it is man, it's so rooted with reality.

It's based off of my grandfather. If you saw him, you would think he was White. One thing that would let you know that he had any Black in him was the texture of his hair, and even that, what they call "good hair" at some points, but he looks like a White dude. He was born in a White hospital in 1909, which means what? His mother was White. Not his father because there was no way a Black woman under any circumstances can have a baby in a White hospital. The bottom line is, he looks like a White dude. But, in his mind, he's a Black guy. To make a long story short, it's 1968 and Martin Luther King was shot the day before. He's on the bus and people come up to him and start like, "Get off the bus you White motherf*@*%$" and all that stuff. They're like, "What you doin' on the bus?" and he didn't know they were talking to him. So, when he told me this story, I was like "oh sh*t! That's how I started on Clayton Bigsby.

We're in this holding pattern of political correctness, which is not going to get anything done for anybody, you know? I feel like if Black people really got mad at the show, like in my worst nightmare, where people started protesting or pulling a "Barbershop. . . ." If this is really our agenda then we are finished, man. We can't just be picking on things like this. There's a lot of serious things going on, and I just think that in a serious priority list of what Black people need to do, I don't think my show is a high risk. Otherwise I would try to justify each and every thing I did before I did it. I'd pre-think it out in my head. Is this justifiable? Is this a good service? I don't think I've done a good service to anybody by doing this show. You know who I test this show out on? My brother-in-law. He's a corrections officer so I take them tapes to him and those dudes love it. If anyone has a reason to get mad at anything, it's them (laughing)! If those dudes are cool with me and my moms and all is cool with me, then I'm at peace with myself. I don't feel bad. I know what my intentions are and I know what I'm saying. I hope people keep an open mind when they're watching it. That being said, a lot of people probably won't.
