Being someone who loved both, In Living Color was by far the better show. Chapelle was a one-trick pony show (centered around race). He did that one thing better than anyone else, but In Living Color was so well rounded and the cast was crazy talented. ILC paved the way for all black sketch comedy shows. Chapelle was edgy for it's time, but ILC was even edgier for its time. Just look up the controversy they caused with their Super Bowl Halftime show.
Out of his top 10 sketches I'll say 3 are about race
List your 10 and we'll see.
Rick James - Black Celebrity
Prince - Black Celebrity
Mad Real World - Black Stereotypes
Wayne Brady - Black Stereotypes
Clayton Bigby - Race Based
Black Bush - Black Stereotypes
Race Draft - Race Based
Piss on You - Black Celebrity
Slow Motion - Black Stereotypes
Oprah Black Celebrity
Not much he did that wasn't about us and/or race in general. 2 examples I can think of that weren't about race were the real life internet and real life Grand Theft Auto, but sketches like this were few and far between.
