I doubt (hope?) many of G:TB's regular readers have paid attention to the various racial conflagrations inflaming what passes for our media in the last few weeks. In a nutshell, right-wing partisans got into an online spat with the NAACP and posted a conveniently edited video claiming reverse racism, and left-wing hand-wringers predictably and completely overreacted in any number of dimensions. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and the White House staff earned a special commendation for outstanding achievement in spineless capitulation.

We really don't care about any of that. Or at least we really aren't interested in debating race relations in this space. The silver lining in this entirely, predictably, depressing episode was the reminder from the gifted Ta-Nehisi Coates of Dave Chappelle's genius.



I miss Dave Chappelle. What might have been.
