* Dave Chappelle does something very strange with this in one sketch. The sketch revolves around a black man, blind from birth, who was raised as a white man...''and'' as a white supremacist. At the climax, he's speaking at a hate rally, dressed in KKK-style regalia so as to hide his face. When he lifts up the hood, his redneck allies just sit there with the most priceless expressions on their faces.
