the chappelle theory
The Chappelle Theory is an in-depth explanation of how a secret cabal called the Dark Crusaders conspired to bring down the popular African-American (and Muslim) comic. (take with plenty of salt). But for me, the biggest mystery is that if there really was a powerful cabal which was so concerned about the images of Black folks in the media, how do you explain The Parkers?

Wa alkaikum salaam,
Well, there is actually a disclaimer you can access from the front page.
And on the last page there is also more stuff which gives it away... ads for a "chappellee theory" movie, dark crusaders t-shirts, and also a Cosby Theory confidential presentation which answers the question: WHY DOESN'T BILL WEAR THOSE COSBY SWEATERS ANYMORe?
Don't know what to make of it?
Well, I think its a fake but it was probably meant to fool some people. I mean, it isn't hard to believe that some of the "Dark Crusaders", like Bill Cosby say, actually ARE really offended by parts of the show. (And on one episode, he makes fun of Oprah pretty hard).
And Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did make a big stink when it came to the scene in Barbershop which talked about Rosa Parks. So they definitely have been critical of other Black comedians in the past.
And I've actually heard about other "serious" conspiracy-type theories which involved at least one or two of the same people (Jesse Jackson for instance.. and the Boule society)
So yeah, it was a joke, but intended to sound plausible.
