In the way it was used, yes. He's using it to point out Kanye's inferiority within his own race.
What the fuck does race have to do with someone being ignorant, if that's what you think of them? Granted, the guy is naturally going to get more leeway, because he is talking about someone within his own race, but it doesn't make it harmless, and inoffensive. It also wasn't a comment solely for black audiences. I would've loved to have seen the reaction they got, if they happened to have had a white democrat on there, who laughed along with them. Shit would've gotten weird real quick.
It was actually interesting to watch the white guy's reaction in the video. He seemed surprised at the language, but the black commentators were perfectly comfortable with it. They were speaking more freely, as they would (albeit more reserved) in an off-air discussion. It seemed obvious that they were kind of trying to one-up each other, or make the funnier reference (the "don't read" comment was a Chris Rock joke, then the woman made a Chapelle joke).
