The National Black Justice Coalition, a civil rights advocacy group serving the LGBTQ+ community, also provided a statement, urging Netflix to remove the new special from its catalog.
“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,” NBJC executive director David Johns said in a statement. “Perpetuating transphobia perpetuates violence. Netflix should immediately pull ‘The Closer’ from its platform and directly apologize to the transgender community.
Jaclyn Moore, a writer, executive producer and showrunner on Netflix series “Dear White People,” expressed her disappointment in the streamer, declaring that she is “done” with the company. “I will not work with them as long as they continue to put out and profit from blatantly and dangerously transphobic content,” Moore wrote in part.
I love so many of the people I've worked with at Netflix. Brilliant people and executives who have been collaborative and fought for important art… But I've been thrown against walls because, "I'm not a 'real' woman." I've had beer bottles thrown at me. So,
Us to the NBJC
Filthy SJWs are back in full force. Love it! Fantastic standup!
I thought this was a good special & the National black coalition & GLAAD are proving his point smh.
eileenmnoonan The idea trans people are so 'mad' at him or JK Rowling, as he claims, is silly. Disappointed in them, exhausted of them, bored of them. These would be more accurate descriptions.
Like clockwork. We can always depend on you to remind us when a new Chappelle special has dropped by your timely, baity articles
Anyone who actually watched this special till the end would not say he was ridiculing anyone.
Oh God grief. Have a seat and shut up. These people can't find other issues within the Black community to get all up in arms about this is ridiculous
I thought his special was based.
Most of them didn't even watch it cause there was nothing hateful about hi trans jokes They were jokes and he's not gonna apologize so they better find someone else to cancel
They literally could not have watched the same special.
Chappelle releases a new special and, like clockwork, people with no sense of humour have a meltdown. The same people trying to shut him up do all the heavy lifting to promote the special! Hilarious.
'waahhhh, black man say mean joke mommy!'
All they're doing is proving the point made in the special 🤣
Love Dave. Haven’t watched it yet. I get around to it this weekend.
This is the fault of mentally ill people in gay/trans/racial groups. The more serious and controlling you are, the more people will make fun of you. You cannot win. People will always use your kind for 'retard' jokes due to your humorless attempt to control people.
Jokes are supposed to make you laugh (Kevin hart) Good jokes are supposed to make you laugh and think (Chris Rock) The best jokes can offend you and still make you laugh.. (Dave Chappell) it’s up to the individual to discern if one can handle being offended by a comedian or not
This makes Dave's point. You have no problem laughing at his jokes when black people are the punchline but you can't take a joke at your own expense. My people need to find their sense of humor again.
Good for him. If you can't take a joke you're probably taking whatever ideology you've adopted way too seriously.
Yeah i don’t think he gives a shit
how people continue watching this man when he just recycles the same homophobic/transphobic jokes and bitches about cancel culture.. i don’t get it..
I know you didn't miss the point being made. You have no problem with laughing at black folk...
I don’t like what he said about my sexuality or my gender and I want him canceled even though he doesn’t know me and he wasn’t attacking me directly. But I’m ok with him calling himself and “his people” a N**¥ because we live in a free country with freedom of speech....😌😌👀👀
Cope.
so…he hasn’t learned anything, I see. cool cool.
The only way Netflix is going to make it money back is by creating this kind of drama, usually over nothing. Without the drama, everything disappears into the menu.
He’ll live
People can't take a joke nowadays.
Here we go again. 🙄
It’s important to understand the difference between comedy and ridicule.
It was the best stand up I've seen in a long time. Kudos to Dave, he absolutely nailed it.
