Where as Chappelle is primal. He's making Chinese faces. He's buying guns to protect his property from heroine addicted whites. He's actually being funny. Not witty, not insightful, funny.
You say primal, I say reactionary. And wit is a huge component of comedy, I'm not sure what you're driving at there unless you're agreeing with me that Chappelle isn't very funny on his latest special.

Nah, it's still not edgy. The backlash isn't the tidal wave that people are making it out to be, it's just 2 dozen people on Twitter. You sure do give a lot of power to the people that you don't seem to want to drive the conversation.
