I find it hard to believe that gang members would let some skinny white boy join their group instead of just carjacking his mercedes and putting a beat down on him.

This. I hung out with a legit gang in Dallas one night. Got introduced by a girl i was friends with. I wasn't an arse, bought some beer for all of us, and we had a good time. They were friendly and easy to talk to, I wasn't nervous at all.

They were probably intimidated by you, what with the spike collar on your head and all...

Didn't Dave Chappelle do a skit on this?

He would’ve done a sketch on this topic not a skit.

Maybe he did...But I don’t recall him doing one to answer your question.

That is an odd story. Never really got into or knew much about the while gang thing; but from what I have read and seen on investigative reports letting some rich kid into the gang is odd. Of course maybe with his parents money etc. they saw a value he could bring.

A sketch is a written material that is rehearsed over and over again until it is ready...then performed.

A skit is an improv scene that is unrehearsed.

If you ever watch the Chapelle Show, Dave is always mocking people who call sketches, skits. Granted, it's not the most intriguing discussion (sketches and skits) but they aren't the same thing.
