    Chappelle is a reactionary, he’s just trying to fully emancipate black people and then he’ll turn around and put walls up for everyone else.

      He is gladly throwing black trans people under the bus.

        Yeah, not surprised. He is a comedian who punches down, not up. Which lands him in right wing comedian style territory.

    So irrelevant. Chapelle had some hits, 20 years ago. His material has been beyond stale for years.

      But going off these comments any trans joke seems to be off the table.

      Which trans jokes should be acceptable? I’ve yet to hear any that aren’t just making fun of us for being who we are. Or is that the joke? That we exist?

        Thats like asking what Jewish/Christian jokes or ones about white straights are acceptable. And its all of them. My point was the extreme verbal policing that surrounds this current topic.

        I do apologize though for my original comment. I did not pay attention to where i was at.

      This isn’t a free speech issue just because he’s being criticized for his bad jokes. Check out how journalists are treated there before comparing it as a bastion of free speech.

      You’re comparing a piefed post comment section with literally no influence or power to the government of a country.

      Your opininion on this matter holds no value, because your first instinct was to say one of the stupidest things you could have because you wanted to be contrarian and make a point against the systemically underprivileged?

      Waste of space.

    Does he even have any others anymore? Seems like that’s all he has in his act these days.

    I like the guy. I don’t like the trans jokes. I’ll say something nice about him. His eyes will be very healthy with the yellow glasses because that color will probably block UV. We can be naughty without insulting, see? Now you try Dave!
