Ep 1. Samuel Jackson Beer & Racial Draft

In the first episode of the second season of Chappelle's Show, titled "Samuel Jackson Beer & Racial Draft," Dave Chappelle takes a satirical look at race relations in America. The episode begins with Chappelle introducing a new product called "Samuel Jackson Beer," which features the popular actor on the label and promises to give drinkers the "courage to say what you really feel." Chappelle then goes on to explore the idea of a "racial draft," where different races can choose which famous people they want to claim as their own.

The first draft pick is Eminem, who is chosen by the black delegation over the protestations of the white delegation. Chappelle then moves on to other draft picks, including Tiger Woods (who is claimed by the black delegation), Colin Powell (claimed by the white delegation), and O.J. Simpson (claimed by the black delegation, much to the dismay of the white delegation). Chappelle also takes a look at the idea of "racial profiling," demonstrating how it works for both black and white people in different situations.

In addition to the racial draft, the episode also features several sketches that touch on themes of race and identity. One sketch features Chappelle as a white, suburban father who tries to bond with his black neighbors by speaking in "street" slang. Another sketch focuses on a blind white supremacist named Clayton Bigsby, who is unaware that he is actually black. The sketch mocks the absurdity of white supremacy and the idea that race is a strictly defined and immutable characteristic.

Throughout the episode, Chappelle is able to explore difficult and sensitive topics with humor and wit. He finds ways to poke fun at our cultural obsession with race and identity while also challenging our preconceptions and biases. The episode is both thought-provoking and entertaining, and showcases Chappelle's unique talent for using comedy to shine a light on important social issues. Fans of the show will find this episode to be a great start to the second season, and newcomers will get a taste of the show's irreverent humor and incisive social commentary.
