"Clayton Bigsby" - A Black White Supremacist

Comedy Central is full of shows that are loaded with satirical comedy sketches. One show that has been around a long time is The Chappelle Show. The Chappelle Show is a popular satirical sketch based show that usually aims its focus towards race related issues. In one of the most absurd and funny sketches we meet a character named Clayton Bigsby. Clayton is an older man who is black, but also happens to be a leader in the KKK. Yes, you heard it here, the twist however is that he was born blind. Taking that information, growing up he always thought he was white. Bigsby being brought up in what seems to be a southern racist community becomes a white supremacists. This video is extremely satirical in a way that makes fun of the KKK perfectly. Chappelle crafted this sketch to show that the KKK's beliefs are so stupid, he shows the audience this by having the members in the crowd at this rally cheers for him. Showing the audience that white people associated with the KKK cheered for what was already revealed to us as a black man tells people that there really is no difference between whites and blacks. This is also interesting because it also shows that just like Bigsby getting brain washed so can white people into thinking theres something wrong with another race.

Here is the video, enjoy it, but know there is a lot of use of the N-Word:
