      It’s extremely foolish to support Chappelle even using HIS OWN logic. Remember why his show suddenly ended? He realized a ton of people weren’t seeing the irony and were just laughing straight up at the silly bigotry in his skits unironically. It wasn’t making people aware of black issues and it wasn’t helping white people not be bigots.

      Then he runs off to Africa to find himself and comes back and … decides to DELIBERATELY TARGET another minority group?! Wasn’t that kind of ignorant heel-digging the exact thing he was making ironic skits about black culture to push against?!

      Either way, Dave is either now KNOWINGLY targeting a minority group, or he’s an ignorant boomer too fucking stupid to see he’s doing to trans people exactly what he didn’t want to do to black people.

      Either he’s a bigot or a moron. Either way, he doesn’t deserve respect.

          Doesn’t that make it worse? He was upset enough about it happening to black people that he left the show that bore his name.

          Then he… chooses to put that ill on someone else?! Knowingly? That’s straight up evil.

      So every Chappelle fan is a bigot?

      Yes.

      And you don’t get to make the call of wether or not people get the jokes.

      “If I get arrested, I’ll say I’m a woman and rape everyone.” is hilarious and definitely not a screaming self-report.

      What was your favourite trans joke from this set? Maybe the super-relevant one about the 2 year old music video? The plainly stated Daily Wire talking points maybe?
