If he did one special about a trans joke and apologized I'd feel different. He did 4 specials bashing trans people. Now this rat fuck is trying to "redeem" himself. He can go fuck himself. Just another rat fleeing the sinking ship. Don't forget he bought out elon musk and everyone booed him.

And he called his audance poor when they booed Musk.
Yeah, I feel like the first special was harmless.
All he really did was point out that trans people have a longer path toward acceptance than gay people.
But damn, did he quadruple down. Of course it's the Republicans' fault now that it's time to pay the piper.
well as a black man I say Dave is weaponizing being black. he's trying hard to deflect the Saudi money and avoiding responsibility for the trans jokes. If he made one show, just one where he would express being sorry for the enablement of aggression he provided, sure i would look at him at a different light. claiming that people are being hard on him for being black, kneega please
Dude waited until the republicans became super unpopular to come forward and feign concern. Dave's got some funny material, but this is pretty blatant pandering.
Even if that was true, it's not, he'd still be a NIMBY piece of shit.
This fucking quote
Everything seems absolute, and any opinion I respect is way more nuanced than these binary choices they keep putting in front of us. I don’t see the world in red or blue.”
He just doesn't get it
Nonbinary Chappelle???
Is it cause he's black? 😇
He stopped making money on the trans-bashing & now has to backpedal for a better paycheck.
Has he seen his own comedy specials?
“I guess apparently they had made a pledge to the public at large that they would make their club a safe space for all people, and that they would ban anything they deemed transphobic,” Chappelle reacted on his “The Midnight Miracle” podcast at the time. “This is a wild stance for an artistic venue to take, especially one that’s historically a punk rock venue.”
This guy doesn't understand any subculture, does he? The punks are, historically, very anti-fascist, and the ones I know are also some of the strongest queer allies I've ever met. And this guy is surprised that they didn't want his bigotry masquerading as humour.
The punks were extremely LGBTQ+ acceptant, even as far back as the 60s and 70s
That’s part of what made them so fucking hot… all that leather? Are you kidding me?
🤯 I was today years old when I learned that...
Thank you! A friend tried that shit with me. "Why are you so against this, you hang out with racist skinheads!"... Face-palm. Amazing how one movie painted a whole anti racist subculture into boneheads. There are very few racist skinheads, FYI. It's a very working class pro Unity subculture. IT WAS JUST A MOVIE!
After not having a great time towards the end of highschool, I ended up spending most of my free time.between classes, in classes, and lunch, etc with the punk kids and the potheads. And they were some of the nicest and coolest fucking kids I've ever met. Super glad I had that experience because it definitely broke that propaganda fueled view I had of those two groups, for when i entered adulthood.
Kind of similar for me, except that even the punk people found me too weird/boring/annoying. They were nice about it but definitely not interested in spending time with me, just taking pity on me.
And it’s not like you can’t make jokes involving trans people, just don’t make jokes at the expense of trans people.
Humour doesn't punch down. That's just bullying.
I feel like this punching model is like Newtonian physics. We do have relativity now, but you gotta take a higher-level class for that one.
Let me guess he doesn't like Republicans because of their racism against himself specifically but he's totally down to hating other minorities all the same.
Newsflash: Queer rights are human rights, smart ass! We're in this together. Well, not you. You can eat shit, Dave.
Ironically, Dave's entire argument has always been an idpol one. You can't criticize him, because as a Black man (even a millionaire) he's more oppressed than any other group.
And, like always, idpol over intersectionality is used to maintain the existing hierarchy. Guess what Dave, the leopards did eat your face.
That is absolutely what you were doing, you bigoted fuck bag. Don’t blame Republicans for laughing at your horribly bigoted jokes.
You engineered them specifically so that your bigoted fans would laugh at them, you piece of shit. Then you played the race card to try to get out of it, and it didn’t work because your bigoted piece of shit fans didn’t like Black people either.
And since those are your only fans left, you are left with nothing, and that’s all you deserved. Nothing.
His set list of punching down on trans people ain't hitting like it used to and it's affecting his money.
That's not what he thought he was doing, but it's absolutely what he was doing.
He knew, he's lying
He knew what he was doing. He's not dumb. Well, anyway, he knew what he was doing. He just doesn't like seeing the paychecks dry up, poor baby.
Too late. And to me, that was exactly what you were doing.
Hey Dave, what did the five fingers say to the face?
"Unityyyyy!!!"
Man who manufactures guns resents people who used them to shoot other people...
Dave chapelle has always been technically brilliant.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
