Dave Chappelle Lambasted By GLAAD For “Ridiculing” Trans & LGBTQ+ Communities In New Netflix Special; Streamer Asked To Pull ‘The Closer’ By National Black Justice Coalition

The organization also retweeted a post from the handle going by HolyBullies that said: “I would suggest, Mr. Chappelle, that before you start on another one of your stupid routines about #LGBTQ people . . . google some names – Bayard Rustin, Monica Roberts, Barbara Jordan, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Angela Davis, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde.”

Taking the Sir Thomas More approach, Netflix declined comment on the controversy. Reps for Chappelle did not respond to request for comment. The National Black Justice Coalition’s executive director David Johns certainly had something to say. The current head of the nearly 20-year old civil rights group founded by Keith Boykin, Mandy Carter, Jasmyne Cannick, Donna Payne, Frank Leon Roberts, Sonya Shields, Roddrick Colvin, and Maurice Franklin wantsIt is deeply disappointing that Netflix allowed Dave Chappelle’s lazy and hostile transphobia and homophobia to air on its platform.

With 2021 on track to be the deadliest year on record for transgender people in the United States — the majority of whom are Black transgender people — Netflix should know better. Perpetuating transphobia perpetuates violence.from its platform and directly apologize to the transgender community. Make no mistake: Black LGBTQ+ and same gender people exist – and have always existed. The fight against oppression is not a zero sum game, and the pervasiveness of white supremacy in the United States is not an excuse for homophobia or transphobia., Chappelle, who opens the special with a “not saying it to be mean, I’m saying it because it is funny” quip, shifts focus, kind of.

Lots of smart comics and plain old peeps opinionizing but with such a wide range of us deciding what’s acceptable something is always going to land bad but we’re still allowing peeps to have their say,right? bc even if we don’t agree; just loathe what was said let it be said imo

Hope he tells then to fuck off! No time for joke police

Yes! Speak the truth, Dave! 🍿🚀✊🏿

I watched it... It was amazing

If they think they're gonna monster Dave they should think again

Making an article to complain about anything a comedy says will only even make me want to watch their special more 🙆

They should cancel him🤣🤣🤣 but they should know some people are beyond cancellation, he's immortal

This is obscene. Did they even watch his special? He explained it so fucking clearly. Anyone who was offended by his special needs to chill the heck out. Unreal

Must be a funny ass show.

Breaking news: people are allowed to say things you find repulsive

What's crazy abt today's society is the idea tht everything must be ok 4 everyone. When did this start? U don't like Dave Chappelle? U never have to watch him again. Find somethng u DO like. But getting anything u don't agree with 'cancelled' is closed minded. Very ironic too

The black coalition trying to cancel a black man just because he doesn't fall in line, just like he said on the special. Go watch it, it's pretty good and the story about Daphne is also quite enthralling

Humans need to stop being wanting to be seen to be politically correct. Ask benshapiro

Stop punching down on comedians

“Lambasted” is the exact word someone would use to do a Dave impression. “chartreuse”

Apparently they didn’t watch the special or didn’t finish it because he doesn’t ridicule anybody in it

Let me watch it now instead of reading these headlines and before Netflix decides to yank it off

Im sure its all about laughter and not hate. All the comedians out there better show him support before its all too late.

Uy vey, this is why comedy is dead. All in the Family, Jeffersons, Good Times could never be made today. So sad.

'communities' like they are forced to live in a ghetto or something? not bad idea

When ever u ridicule a whole community of people it will end up bad because they human with feelings. BPSRAVE 💯

I hadn't planned on watching it...but now ....
