Gah. I think all three of the choices you put are valid. So... I vote for all three.

I have to decide on this one. But it is interesting to watch a guy like Dave Chappelle do his schticks and never get in trouble. And I LOL at his portrayal of white people.

I guess History must play a role in it here? The legacy of segregation and the fact that white people came up with the N-word?

Dunno. I guess it's a complicated issue, but I do enjoy laughing at those comedians you name above. And think about Carlos Mencia. He's an equal-opportunity 'racist' comedian, who's one of the funniest guys around.

(Don Imus however, has never made me laugh -- not coz he's racist, but coz he seems like an angry old fart.)

I think the perception of whether the intentions are good or bad matters.

Voted : Content should decide humor, not race.
IMO, if you have to pull race into the joke, then you've lost most of the pop. mojo, I'm not that fond of Chappelle's stuff, either. Pryor did a lot of racial stuff, but I *lived* a lot of that first- or second-hand, and could laugh at the memories it evoked more than the actual joke.
