It's unfortunate that it's happened, but the current wave of perceived or blatant racism in the US has actually been good for his show. He can approach those topics in a way that Jon Stewart cannot, based solely on his own experience as a black man. He did a segment where he sat down to a meal with several gang members in Baltimore in the wake of the riots there, and it was really pretty interesting, and something that Jon Stewart would never be able to do.

That's true. With the NAACP leader scandal, the Baltimore riots and now this he has really hit it out of the park. You start to realize why CC decided on him when at the beginning it really wasn't obvious (to me he was the worst of the Daily Show "correspondents"). This stuff is right in his wheelhouse and it isn't going to go away anytime soon.
