Dave Chappelle’s Obsession With Mocking Trans People Continues in New Netflix Special ‘The Dreamer’: ‘I Love Punching Down’
Dave Chappelle's comedy special "The Dreamer" has debuted on Netflix, and it's filled with jokes mocking transgender people.
You're viewing a single thread.
Remember Chappelle's short standup after George Floyd was murdered where he was incredibly outraged and emotional? Now he's aligning himself with people who think George Floyd deserved getting murdered. Chappelle is an ignorant tool
It’s incredible how being rich has separated him from the racial struggle he has highlighted throughout his career.
Like even if privately he thought trans people are a joke, old Chappellee might’ve seen trans persecution for what it is: kindling for the fire to burn away the rights of other minorities. He might’ve been an ally just for tactical purposes.
But he is rich now. He feels safe enough that invalidating the experience of other people would never lead to the invalidation of his own, and even if he does, he can escape with his wealth.
Igniting racial flames is loved by the people in power. But it’s touching that class issue that transcends race where the problem lies. Because we far outnumber the rich. We forget that when we’re only looking at the skin color of everyone else in our class. Such a shame Dave became a tool for those fuckers when he became one of them.
He was pointing out social issues and racism and its stereotypes .
Now he's just denying the existence of a minority.
Let him. Let him find out that the far right have their own, stricter limitations on what they consider acceptable for comedy.
We don't have to forgive him for mocking trans people after he's fucked around and found out.
He’s in for a hell of a surprise, because he thinks he’s in the club.
And I say that with the most love and someone that’s watched all but the latest special.
