The premise

Here’s the bit.

A satirical documentary-style sketch featuring Clayton Bigsby, a blind black man who was raised by white supremacists and doesn't know he's black. He becomes a prominent white supremacist author and leader, spreading hate speech while being completely unaware of his own race. The sketch follows a news reporter documenting Bigsby's story, culminating in a public appearance where he removes his hood and reveals his identity to his shocked followers. The sketch was the opening segment of the very first episode of Chappelle's Show and became one of the most controversial and talked-about sketches in comedy history.
