It was both. I didn't say it was mean-spirited though.

But he's always commented on the taboo. There was no fundamental difference between his material now and the material in chappelle show.

Yes there is: this special is simply not that funny. Just look at how 70% of your praise comes down to the politics of the special and how it totes pwns anyone who dares criticize Chappelle.
You ever hear a band run a good formula or sound into the ground by repeating it, each time lacking more of that original spark that made their sound so special? It's kinda like that.

Neat! Chappelle can even make a tame joke unfunny, now that's the mark of a true comedian.
