It was an embarrassment to black people, in my opinion. I just feel that black people who have the opportunity to reach thousands of people on a regular basis should take the privilege a little more seriously.

For the record, it was the highest rated show on CNN and because of that might get picked up by another network. I didn't watch the earlier shows, but I believe that any program with its premise must be given a chance to find its voice and get into its comfort zone. I think D.L.'s show did that last week. The economy is bad for many businesses, including television so there is a strong possibility that the reasons for the cancellation are genuine. If CNN didn't cancel the show after the first couple episodes and the barage of negative comments, they wouldn't cancel it after his best and most watched episode unless it was unavoidable. Cut the brother some slack, geez. I enjoyed D.L.'s show and am sad to hear that it has been cancelled.

It was capitalized after all. What I find interesting is that you assumed I was referring to you and not taking the context of what I'd written. It makes no sense. Now it should be clarified and you can move on. I call him DL Idiot for his constant supply of idiotic behavior. It was capitalized after all.

Your analysis of why he left is dead on target. It was so bad, that Dave realized they were laughing AT him. He even went on Oprah and said he thought at first by making a mockery and doing buffonery it would make folks realize that it was stupid and racist, but he finally realized that he wasn't doing anything but reinforcing the stereotypes that he himself had to fight against everyday in society.

When he had that epiphany, he had a mental breakdown from the sheer enormity of the ignorance he had perpetuated to the tune of them offering him 60 million.

Chapelle went to Africa to get his dignity and self-respect back.

Instead of utilizing the "credible" journalists on their roster they to the low road with that idiot. He can barely speak English and his entire "routine" is just plain tired. If they were going to go with a comedian -which was questionable to be begin with for a news network they should have at least picked someone with a brain and some critical thinking skills. That show wasn't for Blacks that's for sure. It was a zoo experiment and they got the biggest monkey (at the lowest rate I'm sure) they could find. Good riddance.

Chapelle has far too much class and never resorted to publicly dissing Black women. The ratings for that waste of airtime were always low and the show never gained traction. Nice try CNN but a news network should stick to the news not some quasi-unintelligible, Black woman-hating HS drop-out. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
