Nick Cannon quit (fired) America's Got Talent over a racist joke.
His message on the situation and the joke reminded me of the "Keepin' It Real" skit from the Chapelle Show.

That read as less "joke" and more "biting the hand."

You know Chapelle was really onto something here.
Take any famous black person (aside from rappers) and if they try to act like they relate to "thug life", it's a career killer.
Same as any white person that says something stupid about race...or even truth that we pretend isn't real (like Jimmy the Greek did).
