i think Dave Chappelle probably the only person no one can cancel. the dude went awol for years and then returned to be on top of the comedy world. he also rich enough to produce his own specials.
@@ifubuildit i was talking about comedy, but yeah that applies to legends of every category that have a loyal following. just like MJ despite all his allegations and accusations and still filled up stadium and theatres.
@@progdrummer-nenad we're not cancelling anyone we just discussing what is happening. I'm against cancel culture. unless something is done out of malice then everyone have the right to say whatever they want.
He's not winning, Netflix lost money on the last two Chappelle specials and he's created a backlash that may never fully die down. I predict his career goes downhill from here. He's not funny any more, so good thing he scored this last big Netflix bag on his way out.
That's subjective that Dave's no funny anymore. Everything he puts out I find hilarious and Dave has a massive fan base and he's not going anywhere any time soon
Exactly! Dave Chappelle is the GOAT. He can see the corporate interest behind all of this. He’s playing 4D Chess while everyone else who aren’t really aware are playing checkers.
Yeah that shit was gangster. The crowd says it all. "Nooooo". Hell NO! he's a powerful man, and he knows that. But hes still humbled.... I love chappelle, we lean different on spectrum(him left and me to the right/conservative side), and still, I fuckin love him.
@@nickniehaus1763 you lucky bastard! Not only will that live on when his name is mentioned, but I feel that will help define comedy for a very long time. That's a part of comedic history and pop culture history now
This is a lesson for ALL HUMAN BEINGS to learn. Learn to validate yourself and you will stop requiring/demanding validation from the outside world. Dave’s laying out the template. In real-time.
@@matthijsvanderveer4227 The fact that is simpler to identify and essentially change your sexual orientation and be met with less hatred and backlash as an african american who was trying to change his name. Dave Chappelle merely shed light on an issue we all know is there.
@@matthijsvanderveer4227 I identify as a Zebra. Our small community is patiently waiting to clash with Dave Chapelle and recieve our own bathroom stalls.
@@GrantAMoody let’s be honest here I think Dave Chappell is the funniest comic there is but if Ali tried to change his name in 2021 there would be no problem and if a person tried to change there sex in Ali’s day they probably would be executed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The reason Dave is un-cancellable now is because he's hit rock bottom in life when he walked away from his career due to creative differences. He defends the art of comedy and the freedom to express yourself as you so wish. He protects freedom of speech with his stances, when he was rebuilding himself, he kept humble. He did small comedy clubs again as if he was just starting out, he then got his Netflix special which garnered new and old fans alike. He's also one of the last few comedians of an old era that still speaks about divisive topics. He's become a unicorn and people feel the need to protect him and his art. He's very niche and the last of his kind. This is why you cannot remove his voice, the people simply want him to stay.
i wouldnt quite call that rock bottom. i doubt he was struggling financially. sure he walked away from doing what he loved but if you know him you know it wasnt a permanent thing. if anything is quite the opposite because this was the catalyst for the progression for who we know today as dave chappelle.
@@santanaclinton9896 it is a perfect reference, a person who thinks they are untouchable backed by a group of horrible people like you. The comparison is perfect.
Talk about a boss move! Couldn’t get investors so he capitalized on high demand, took the movie on tour, and keeps more money for himself! Bravo Mr. Chappelle! See you in NYC on the 22nd.
Oh! He means people like him, cisgendered outsiders to the trans community, should get to be the voice of how trans people are perceived... just like how white people should get to dominate conversations about black people and the black community. I get it.
@@wasd____ If you're going to talk about what cis people have to do, cis people have a say in that conversation. If you're going to talk about trans people have to do, trans people have a say in the conversation. If you're going to talk about what white people have to do, white people have a say in that conversation. If you're going to talk about what black people have to do, black people have a say in that conversation. There's a word for forcing people to behave the way you say without question. A conversation is a two-way exchange. If you want to just talk and make everybody listen without question, you want to preach. In which case, you have no interest in a "conversation" by any metric. Also, "white people should get to dominate conversations" strawman is strawman, stfu
@@smeksii_yozhik Mockery and perpetuating cruel stereotypes aren't good-faith "conversations" in the first place. People saying they don't want that done to them isn't some outrageous or unreasonable demand, nor is it an attempt to shut down legitimate conversation. It is, instead, a declaration that conversations require respect, and that if you're not willing to be respectful, you shouldn't be trying to pretend that your insults are adding value to the discourse. You're trying to hide behind this idea that a conversation is between two people, but that's just a cover for trying to justify bigoted depictions under the excuse of, "No, see, you have let OUR voice be heard, too!" And no, your voice doesn't HAVE to be heard until your intentions are good. Until then, your voice is just being used as a weapon to oppress, not a tool of reconciliation. No one HAS to put up with that.
@@wasd____ Look, as much as I'd like to sit here and keep this going, I honestly have better things to do. That said, one last verse before I go: "You're trying to hide behind the idea that a conversation is between two people" is possibly the most pathetic rebuttal I've seen on this site. I am literally referring to both formal and informal definitions of "conversation." Oxford Dictionary even says verbatum "a talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged." This is not "the idea that." It is the literal meaning of a conversation. You have some serious stones to insist that conversations need mutual respect and then in the same breath tell me I have to keep quiet for one's entirety. So you're entirely wrong on how any of that works on two points alone. As a bonus, because this bit just irked me; who the hell are you judge my intentions? And what authority gives YOU the right to just do so, but then I'm "bigoted" to dare question? Gimme a break. I know you may mean well, but any social ideology that has a "ok for me, not for them" clause is hypocrisy. One that ought to be better recognized by now
Perfectly said, it isn't him vs the LGBTQ community, it's about what he can talk about. This man called the community lovely, openly, how could a man with such a heart be seen as hateful.
I clapped very quietly when he said that. I refuse to be put into battle against someone who I do not know who never wronged me because it suits a third party's agenda.
@bobby macdermott He never vilified trans people in his comments, he vilified the system for not allowing him to speak about the trans community, it is the influence of the higher ups that are discriminatory, not a single man.
Because he lied about my condition. I was ok with him making fun of my appearance. But trying to say my condition is fake is unscientific and crossing the line. It creates real world bullying by cis people who are the ones who bullied Daphne. Thats another lie he told to vilify the trans community. All this hate towards trans women specifically. It seems everyone is fine with trans men. But trans women are the most hated to where all these comments are blind to their own hate and lack of understanding and acceptance.
@@aliceslab It's the corporate elites who hate you, because you're not the majority, and speaking about the minority is bad for business. Dave hates this, he's a comedian, joking is his job, and he makes them about everyone out of respect and unity. Get a grip
@@snacc-1100 no it isn't out of unity. The second you lie about my condition I'm no longer interested because it's bigoted and it's not meant for trans people to view or enjoy. Because you are being weird and forcing a gender someone isn't on them when you yourself wouldn't accept that. He lied about our condition so he should get a grip instead of denying science.
@@bonez2165 He meant to reach a new audience and continue to break ground despite having monopolised a niche following which made him extremely comfortable.
This is what happens when you say you believe in free speech and fucking mean it. I don't agree with everything Dave says but goddamn I'll stand back to back with him to defend it.
Man, I can see in his face and demeanor, his disappointment in the way the world is and that such a reaction and backlash could even be occur this way. I feel like Dave is always fighting for free speech and rational thought. He really cares deeply about people and the human experience.
It seems like the fight for rational thought is a losing one. I really don't know anymore if there are more rational people left in the world or just a few. Is there somewhere I can move where the majority is rational?
@Proper To make fun of everyone equally is the average stance of a comedian. To find the funny sides to life. It's his job to literally: make.fun. Any minority that has been physically or verbally abused does not experience abuse as a direct result of comedy. Comedy is not abuse. Abuse is abuse. It's so frustrating to have to listen to the nonsense coming out of people who victimise themselves, or worse, people being offended on other people's behalf 🙄
A genius at his craft, a guy who doesnt need validation as he knows where he stands. Know we stand with you dave. Any trans that can't differentiate a joke vs reality doesn't deserve to even hear your beautiful poetry my friend. Stay safe soldier
Glad he did this. Cause “we” are NOT hurt by anything he said. “They’ve”been trying to get him since he turned down the multi-million Chappelle Show deal!! Love you Dave!🌈

If Netflix wants to please 1% of people who have a problem with Dave's jokes 99% of us who love them can get another network. Those Netflix employees will have bright future in front of them.
And the sad part is that it's not even 1%. It's an extreme minority which is amplified by the media in order to skew everyone's view. Corporations are evil and more people are finally starting to realise it.
Everything is funny till it happens to you. He makes fun of everything and everyone. It's not personal. That's what you're not getting. He's just not gonna let himself get bullied. Because canceling people and taking their right to speak doesn't solve problems. Even if you don't agree with him. Comparing him to black face ministries shows is just racist AF btw.
@Proper clearly you didn't watch all the specials especially the Closer and if you did you must've been asleep when he said if you listen to what I'm saying, you'd realise I'm against racism and not the LGBTQIA community.
Well said. 👏 Dave is also much too talented to be significantly affected by any of the recent "controversy". He's an O.G. and will always have a following. 😎🔥
I will buy, like, suscribe and shared everything Dave’s is involved. Dave will always be welcome at my house. Not that he will show up one day, but if he has something to show on tv, it will be watched at home with family around.
I hate to admit it on this thread but I kind of like Hannah Gadsby. I like Dave Chapelle more, but I do think she has something to say. I find her interesting, although no, not that funny. Sorry everyone, I don’t mean to let y’all down! 😁✌️
I feel like Dave is swaying more towards a speaker than a comedian. Either way his words are powerful! He can be serious and funny. Everyone takes something with them at his shows. GOAT 🐐
Dave Mode, only time will tell if history will be kind or cruel to Dave. I understand the woke movement and how they want to force Dave's comedy to conform to today's standards, but comedy (or truth telling) can never conform to pressure.
Staying true to yourself always scare away “sheep” in “wolf” clothing! No one likes a MAN or WOMAN who stands behind how they feel or what they believe💯
Dave Chappelle is a Comedy Ninja Warrior.. I feel like he may be the only comedian that can have a REAL conversation, still be funny but still get his word across.. GOAT
@@plastifiedmetal5682 According to an article published on the Des Moines Register it "focuses on Chappelle over the course of 2020, grappling with the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and being shut in because of the COVID-19 pandemic" and "follows Chappelle as he then stages a series of comedy performances with celebrity guests in a neighbor's cornfield in his hometown of Yellow Springs, Ohio".
Carlin will always be the goat. Hell, dangerfeild might be better than dave. Dave lost his mind after 2006 and has been a race hustling loser ever since.
We are NOT agreeing with Dave from a position of "hate".... we are AGREEING with him from a position of rational thought and freedom of speech, expression, independence and unity. Thank you Dave for being brave, for the entire nation!
Agreeing w him would never be from a position of hate, because he did not say what he said from a position of hate 😊. It was a freaking joke, he’s a comedian. Comedians used to be able to ‘get away’ with almost anything & somehow it just seems that some things should still be safe from cancel culture. I am a liberal, I believe in a lot of the thinking behind woke-ism, but I also think comedy is one of those places where you should be able to say what you write, as long as it makes people laugh & it’s not meant to be cruel. Dave Chapelle is not cruel, but he KILLS every time he walks onto a stage! #DaveChapelleKills
All due respect, because I know what your saying… Dave doesn’t require your agreement or mine (although he has it)…. Those who are “offended”? They’re the ones who require validation…. They’re the ones who want agreement….. not Dave.
Yes. He is not my favorite comedian per se, but he is a fucking hero. He is a sole voice against insanity of the mass dumbness that took charge of our communication and lives.
@Proper How can anyone with a rational mind even respond to this? Are you comparing a joke with black face minstrel? The difference being the intention of character and context, one being the personification of racism and the other being a joke to be taken in character and context.
This is largely the fault of the media. There was barely anyone at that Netflix protest. It was ironic that the people who say they want a safe environment attacked 2 people waving signs that said "We love Dave" and "We like jokes". The media then attempted to portray those 2 people as the aggressors, falsely accusing one of them of shouting obscenities at the "peaceful" protestors that had attacked him, broke his sign, then falsely accused him of having a weapon so they could try and get him hurt. Why isn't the Netflix writer that was involved in that shit being fired? How is that acceptable behaviour? It's also ironic that one of the organisers of that protest has a history of making offensive tweets and jokes, calling gay people the F word and shit, but now that they're some spokesperson for "social justice", they get a pass.
I’m a transgender man and I have absolutely no issue with Him. He’s actually one of my favorite comedians and he is a genius.I think through his most recent special he actually helped us a lot. His story with Daphne really put something into words that a lot of people can’t and I’m personally thankful for that.
@@t3productions591 Yeah. He makes fun of everyone it doesn’t mean he actually means what he’s saying. And honestly this whole community would be a lot easier to normalize if we went about it with a more comedic light hearted approach of expressing our identity’s (in some cases obviously not all) idk just my personal view. I still believe serious trans issues do need to be addressed but a comedy show is not the time or place for that. What Dave said may have hurt some people’s feelings but above all he’s helped our community in more ways than one.
I watched the Netflix special "The Closer", I can not see what all the fuss is about. Dave Chappelle has joked about EVERYTHING!!! Religion, Politics, Blacks, Whites and I have not seen any lines crossed. What he says and how he says it brings everything to the fore front of peoples minds, he definitely makes people think!
@@JayJones-xz1fl Also his Netflix special was by far the unfunniest one... which is why he probably rejected the multi-million dollar deal for the new Chappelle Show on Netflix... they probably try to censor his comedy routines and now they're coming after him, using the LGBTQ community as a means to an end... Anyway, Dave is way too smart to cancel him... he can't be cancelled cause he simply isn't asking for permission to speak his mind... you can't cancel someone that doesn't give a shit what you think about him...
"I can not see what the fuss is about" is understandable. There are huge amounts of money, (wo)man hours, and entities that are trying everything they can to remove free speech protections in this country. They are also trying to establish that certain groups are above the others, the people of this great nation. You can make fun of Jews (which I am). You can make fun of Christians (which I am). But don't you dare make jokes about Islam. That's forbidden. In that same vein, the alphabet people as they are known as are above being made the butt of jokes. Just like the religions you can make fun of and the ones you can't. The one thing I do better than anything else is make people laugh. I have every intention when the time is right to be on stage performing my comedy, whether it's a casual open mic night or in a packed auditorium. Jokes are meant to bring laughter. I forget who said it but it was simple and brilliant. "Jokes are just words you say with the end goal of making someone laugh. How ever you lay those words out is up to you." It's almost formulaic. I think many would agree that some of the funniest jokes are some of the most offensive. And that's okay in the confines of comedy. I don't get butt hurt when I hear Jew jokes. If the point is laughter and not *intentionally* destroying someone's life, that can be a different discussion. In the case of Dave, one of the greatest if not the absolute greatest, he represents someone that can't be bought. Someone that stands by what he says and doesn't apologize for his craft. And he shouldn't have to. I've lived outside of the USA, the greatest country in the world. I can tell you with certainty we have more freedoms and prosperity than the hyper majority of the world. People like Dave that can't be bought are dangerous to the continued success of the corporate interest groups he mentioned. The man is no fool.
When it comes to comedy there’s 2 rules the comedian and audience should abide by. 1) Anyone and everyone is allowed to be offended if they’re joked about. 2) Nobody is allowed to tell the comedian what he can joke about.
I feel the more people complain about the closer, the more they are making his point. I also feel his moral compass is well calibrated. Listen with your ears, your heart and not your mouth.
to be honest I am not supporting trans but I feel like how is this different from when white people did racist jokes about black people and did black face ?
Because in the time you are talking about, there was no open discourse about embracing our differences. That’s one honest difference. You’re not following his art… furthermore, you would have to click on his face to hear him say it. Back in the day, you weren’t given the choice.
@@AbsoDom but even now if non black celebrity say n word they get canceled for being racist , also trans people didnt do anything to black people so why should we go out our way to target them , I think this is just another example of black people doing white people dirty work , you see how white and asian people draw image of themselves being acceptable toward lgbt when they the most homophobic but they dint show it , while I noticed how their is very obvious target in showing how black communities and black people are not progressive in their thinking how they very homophobic abd xenophobic toward other minorities , like when they stop asian hate was around they focus very much on how most the victims were targeted by black people most time , all this was to counter the BLM , so stop asian hate have actually gained more favor in public and media eyes then BLM , I dont know if you black or not but I feel like black people in general abd black americans in specific are failing in trap and this time if whites or asians started to genocide them it would be in self defense or claiming they making america great again etc .. black people are just too emotional in my opinion and they get so happy over little to no acheivement . why would dave Chappelle even talk about lgbt people it not black people problem , he should talk more about black people issues in america but I also think he part of problem , he is driving people attention from real problems
@bobby macdermott blaire white is transgender youtuber and she get hate for being conservative republican , so dave chappelle story is not lie their transgenders who get hate from their own community for having different veiws
@bobby macdermott he didnt lie , he did say that he dont know what happen to her in her life but he heard that she killed herself few days after the she tweeted defending dave chapelle comedy and people attacked her for it , He said he didnt know what happen to her in her life but bet dragging her didnt hel
he really looks hurt by the fact that people are so hostile about comedy, and rightfully so everything I've heard Chappelle say ever, came from the heart and he just wants to spread joy and love
actually I think that is the problem people thinking a guy who made a joke about kicking someone in the pussy and a baby selling weed on the corner was dead serious when he said he was team terf. People are taking a guy known for doing satire to the heart. Some people forget that the guy is a performer and that his stage presence is an exaggerated version of himself..
Hostile just about comedy? From left to right, there are so many people from both sides who just have to make every little thing political at every minute. Everyone needs to chill a bit lol
Bitch did you even watch the video? His documentary is being turned away from film festivals due to the controversy...No shit he'll still be able to find work, that's not the point.
I remember Dave Chappell even when I was 12 years old. I learned how to be savage while also being funny when it came to his unbelievable comedy. That's the best gift a comedian can give a audience. To always have a time to laugh and not take everything so dam seriously.
i have a lot of friends in the lgbtq+ community who are uncomfortable with my support of dave. i asked all of them why and they each said because of what he said in the closer. i asked them have they seen the full special. none of them said yes. i watched it myself, and anything controversial he coul of possibly said was either a joke or a lead up to a joke. dave's a solid guy who we can all learn from.
I had to cut ties with some people just because of this. I can't have people in my live who formulate an opinion based on hearsay, instead actually going to watch the show and see for themselves.
@@RenoNowhere don't worry he is spamming this exact comment everywhere trying to bait. Guys a classic troll, but without the wit to you know, be good at it.

@@outofabook if those who want to cancel him and others would jist stop trying to dictate what others can or can not say then he would not have to keep talking about it. I may not agree with everything Dave says but I fully support his right to say it.
Dave is the type of person who we need more of. The ability to see situations from all angles and make humorous, intelligent jokes is crucial to our society. People cannot be brittle. People cannot learn and grow without seeing someone else’s points of view. We got you Dave!!
I don't know much about Mr. Chappell, but from what I've learned so far he is a man of Principle, and should be highly Respected. So glad he is standing his ground and didn't do a knee jerk "I'm Sorry". Definitely a Leader ,Not a Follower🏆
This guy will go down in history not only for being one of the greatest comedians ever. But one of the greatest thinkers ever. He stands up for his beliefs and is unwavering, he is willing to lose it all for a cause he believes to be righteous which is why he will be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest when it's all said and done.
Unwavering, willing to give your life for Jesus Christ .The way you describe Dave Chappelle, is the way our father in Heaven expects of us, and pure love...
As a comedian in my home country said: every minority has the right for discrimination! That sounds strange at first but definitely hits the nail on the top. The art of Comedy/satire point out everything that concerns our society. No matter what it is. That's part of equal treatment in our everyday lives.
I think it also has a lot to do with blindly trusting the views of others. The bottom line is that most of those who criticize Dave seem to be doing so without actually having watched "The Closer" or at least read the transcript of Dave's words.
Yes, but it seems people these days go all in on hate based on misinformation, and their egos prevent them from self correcting, when they know the full story. People are waking up to this and a larger and larger group stuck between the left and the right is forming, maybe these kind of events are the way out of the divisiveness.
@@concernedcitizen3226 the notion that "The Closer" contains anti-trans sentiments, while the bulk of Dave's criticism and 100% of his scorn and anger are directed at some members of the LGBTQ+ community and are rooted in their treatment of one of their own, a trans woman and comedian who Dave had befriended and was working with, and who ended up taking her own life after a week of savage bullying from her community who attacked and ostracized her for no other reason than her defense of Dave
@@paoloadam I saw the special. Dave was brilliant and the Daphne story could have been its own movie. It is sad how she was treated by people who claim they want inclusion for all.
No, he is not. Sure he is a great comedian and one of my favorite but as far as following the corporate narrative he is simply on the fence. He is a racist like all the rest of the communist blm.
"They" will never be able to cancel this goat, "they"can try like how the tried with Eminem. These ppl are angels sent to earth and thank God for Dave. I love Dave and will always support him! Never ever change Dave!
You could see the tears in Dave Chappelle eyes when he’s talking about his friend Daphne. I haven’t see one video on social media talking about what he’s doing for Daphne’s child. Raising money for the child future. Where’s the empathy and compassion for his good deeds?
💯 they’re not ready for this. The same trans + community that screams equality but can’t take a joke on themselves and goes attacking Dave are same ones who killed Daphne 💔 nor haven’t I seen she was a student to become the first transgender comedian by dave himself and be the OPENING on his show to come out laughs w/ straights and lgbtq together and open doors to a new cycle for trans+ community in comedy. The closer was dedicated to close cycles between the hate of one another and ppl missed the meaning behind that.
Dave is not raising money for Daphne’s daughter. He is supporting her daughter and will give her an inheritance when she reaches her age of majority. In other words, Dave is using his own money.
I'm so proud of you, Dave. You continue to get up and fight again and again and again. The world is Blessed to have your wisdom, strength, resilience and passion for teaching; especially during this time in history. Big Love and Massive Blessings for you and your family ❤ Love you, Bruddah ❤
What a fucking idol, voice of our times and for decades to come he will be remembered. I am glad to have lived in Dave Chappelle's time and to have witnessed the battles we've had to fight against those in power. Whether free speech prevails or not I was there when we stood for it. I hope long after our voices are gone, after I'm dead, the fight will carry on.
yea, it's pretty cool. he's like the george carlin of our time. a voice for the people in a time when everyone is being silenced. it people like chapelle who prevent authoritarian dictators from coming into power.
Very well said: I'm not bending to anybody's demands. That is how you deal with these language censors. I say this as an actual leftist, not a liberal.
I’m for broad social safety nets, think the US gets into dumb and counterproductive military engagements, I’m a social liberal and not a traditionalist, but I can’t stand ‘cancel culture’ or the associated moralism against comedy, against free inquiry, etc That being said it’s funny because I’ve heard this view as both ‘ah, you’re a classical liberal’ or ‘ah, you’re a leftist not a liberal’ lol
People need to admit that they just like a villain to boo & hiss at because it allows them to show their virtue without the need to look too closely at whether they are a genuinely good person.
I didn't see how he said anything that would insult Trans people in the closer. He was pretty gentle with them IMO. This guy jokes about everything and everyone, why would he leave the trans people out of that list? In a lot of ways I consider him a philosopher. He makes you think about things from different perspectives.
It’s also the media… big news started a culture or controversy, of anger, of embellishment, and sensationalism. And now there’s hundreds of thousands of bloggers, hosts, and influencers that make their living off that model. Foaming at the mouth for something to point their judgement and outrage at. The trans community is very insecure. Judgement is just a natural response to dealing with our own insecurity.
You gotta understand, the ideology of that portion of the T community is that you're literally committing genocide against them if you don't agree with how they see themselves. They're insane, and they're totalitarian. It's not something you can sort out with common sense.
My comment (which was articulated respectfully and professionally) got deleted from this thread, merely for critiquing exactly where this portion of the ___ community has a totalitarian premise in their worldview. Let me see if I do better with this - they believe disagreeing with them or making a joke about them is literally the same thing as removing their entire group from the world, the word I'm looking for starts with a "g" and its what a German man with a unique moustache tried to do. They don't see a distinction, and thus think force is justified because they believe it's an act of self defense. Think about the pull this group has when social media companies will delete you merely for critiquing an IDEA from that group. This is why it's so important for Dave to confront this ideology and say no, we're not censoring speech because you have a premise like that in your thinking.
Dave Chapelle is just plain and simple incredible! He can take real life and make it funny, make it interesting and make it a teachable moment. You listen. You wait for what he’s going to say next. Love everything that is Dave Chapelle.
@@Berbs73 I didn't, but you're entitled to your opinion. He's only allowed to go after a certain group of people, and does it to perfection in my eyes. That's just my opinion, of course.
@@clevelandbci9562 That’s fair. But my opinion still stands. He’s not that great. It should actually be documented at the same time that DC is actually great. Lol
If anything happens to Dave Chappelle from this moment on know what he stood for and what he accomplished in his life time, this man is more than a comedian we all need to pay attention to what happens through all this controversy because if we don’t they will try to burry Dave carrier wise and if they can’t do that they’ll try it other ways.
This actually might explains some of the "choices" Netflix has done with its series. At least someone down there has the good enough sense to keep Dave going.
Dave's integrity never bends even a little, just look at what he walked away from. It looks like it genuinely is bothering him now though, everything and everyone just piling on him

And the point "we want a safe environment, or we will make it unsafe for you" is exactly the point Dave has been making!! Stand strong, be proud, dont bend, and keep us laughing!!!!!
Marginalized groups have always had to use the threat of causing actual consequences for bigots in order to fight for and win their human rights. Dave Chapelle is himself from a group that understands this. I'm boggled as to how he's surprised that his own bigotry, in turn, might end up having consequences from people who are tired of it.
@@wasd____ there you go using all these buzz words and talking points from your circus. Makes me laugh how trans activist act like they survived 5 trillion worse than people of color. Be quiet.
If what some people are asking for is acceptance respect towards others beliefs and views and expressions. They obviously need to accept and respect other people's beliefs and views and expressions...like Dave's. Goes both ways.
Dave Chappelle is the GOAT. He can see the corporate interest behind all of this. He’s playing 4D Chess while everyone else who aren’t really aware are playing checkers.
I've never heard of her. Now me and a bunch of other people will look her up, increasing her recognition. But it will all be thanks to Dave Chappelle. And I'll go ahead and say he's probably right about her.
I love that Chappelle has somehow turned himself into the cement shoes on the feet of any culture that tries to cancel him. No matter how hard you try, you're just gonna sink deeper.
Thank YOU Dave Chappelle! You did not need to do this but you were strong and WE love you. We are with you and there is more of us for sure! I loved The Closer and all the shows. GOAT is Dave!

Great comment!!
He's not winning, Netflix lost money on the last two Chappelle specials and he's created a backlash that may never fully die down. I predict his career goes downhill from here. He's not funny any more, so good thing he scored this last big Netflix bag on his way out.
That's subjective that Dave's no funny anymore. Everything he puts out I find hilarious and Dave has a massive fan base and he's not going anywhere any time soon
People with integrity create history, Dave is doing that before our eyes, we must support him.

The reason Dave is un-cancellable now is because he's hit rock bottom in life when he walked away from his career due to creative differences. He defends the art of comedy and the freedom to express yourself as you so wish. He protects freedom of speech with his stances, when he was rebuilding himself, he kept humble. He did small comedy clubs again as if he was just starting out, he then got his Netflix special which garnered new and old fans alike. He's also one of the last few comedians of an old era that still speaks about divisive topics.
He's become a unicorn and people feel the need to protect him and his art. He's very niche and the last of his kind.
This is why you cannot remove his voice, the people simply want him to stay.
You mean he was curating stereotypes and being the court jester for white people. It’s called cognitive dissonance

Trust me Dave has a plan c, d and e lined up.
“You cannot have the conversation and exclude my voice from it.” 🙌🏻
Oh! He means people like him, cisgendered outsiders to the trans community, should get to be the voice of how trans people are perceived... just like how white people should get to dominate conversations about black people and the black community. I get it.
@@wasd____ If you're going to talk about what cis people have to do, cis people have a say in that conversation. If you're going to talk about trans people have to do, trans people have a say in the conversation. If you're going to talk about what white people have to do, white people have a say in that conversation. If you're going to talk about what black people have to do, black people have a say in that conversation. There's a word for forcing people to behave the way you say without question.
A conversation is a two-way exchange. If you want to just talk and make everybody listen without question, you want to preach. In which case, you have no interest in a "conversation" by any metric.
Also, "white people should get to dominate conversations" strawman is strawman, stfu
@@smeksii_yozhik Mockery and perpetuating cruel stereotypes aren't good-faith "conversations" in the first place. People saying they don't want that done to them isn't some outrageous or unreasonable demand, nor is it an attempt to shut down legitimate conversation. It is, instead, a declaration that conversations require respect, and that if you're not willing to be respectful, you shouldn't be trying to pretend that your insults are adding value to the discourse.
You're trying to hide behind this idea that a conversation is between two people, but that's just a cover for trying to justify bigoted depictions under the excuse of, "No, see, you have let OUR voice be heard, too!"
And no, your voice doesn't HAVE to be heard until your intentions are good. Until then, your voice is just being used as a weapon to oppress, not a tool of reconciliation. No one HAS to put up with that.
@@wasd____ Look, as much as I'd like to sit here and keep this going, I honestly have better things to do. That said, one last verse before I go:
"You're trying to hide behind the idea that a conversation is between two people" is possibly the most pathetic rebuttal I've seen on this site. I am literally referring to both formal and informal definitions of "conversation." Oxford Dictionary even says verbatum "a talk, especially an informal one, between two or more people, in which news and ideas are exchanged." This is not "the idea that." It is the literal meaning of a conversation.
You have some serious stones to insist that conversations need mutual respect and then in the same breath tell me I have to keep quiet for one's entirety. So you're entirely wrong on how any of that works on two points alone.
As a bonus, because this bit just irked me; who the hell are you judge my intentions? And what authority gives YOU the right to just do so, but then I'm "bigoted" to dare question? Gimme a break.
I know you may mean well, but any social ideology that has a "ok for me, not for them" clause is hypocrisy. One that ought to be better recognized by now
@@wasd____ he said “conversation”. A conversation requires all parties to talk.
Perfectly said, it isn't him vs the LGBTQ community, it's about what he can talk about. This man called the community lovely, openly, how could a man with such a heart be seen as hateful.
I clapped very quietly when he said that. I refuse to be put into battle against someone who I do not know who never wronged me because it suits a third party's agenda.
@bobby macdermott He never vilified trans people in his comments, he vilified the system for not allowing him to speak about the trans community, it is the influence of the higher ups that are discriminatory, not a single man.
Because he lied about my condition. I was ok with him making fun of my appearance. But trying to say my condition is fake is unscientific and crossing the line. It creates real world bullying by cis people who are the ones who bullied Daphne. Thats another lie he told to vilify the trans community. All this hate towards trans women specifically. It seems everyone is fine with trans men. But trans women are the most hated to where all these comments are blind to their own hate and lack of understanding and acceptance.
@@aliceslab It's the corporate elites who hate you, because you're not the majority, and speaking about the minority is bad for business. Dave hates this, he's a comedian, joking is his job, and he makes them about everyone out of respect and unity. Get a grip

This is what happens when you say you believe in free speech and fucking mean it. I don't agree with everything Dave says but goddamn I'll stand back to back with him to defend it.
“It’s about corporate interest and what I can say and what I can not say”… it’s about corporate investors. ❤️ I wanna hear what he has to say.
Man, I can see in his face and demeanor, his disappointment in the way the world is and that such a reaction and backlash could even be occur this way.
I feel like Dave is always fighting for free speech and rational thought.
He really cares deeply about people and the human experience.
It seems like the fight for rational thought is a losing one. I really don't know anymore if there are more rational people left in the world or just a few. Is there somewhere I can move where the majority is rational?
Yes that's what his special was about. But as he noted at the beginning freaking people DO NOT LISTEN and are led by lies of the news media here.
@Proper To make fun of everyone equally is the average stance of a comedian. To find the funny sides to life. It's his job to literally: make.fun.
Any minority that has been physically or verbally abused does not experience abuse as a direct result of comedy.
Comedy is not abuse. Abuse is abuse.
It's so frustrating to have to listen to the nonsense coming out of people who victimise themselves, or worse, people being offended on other people's behalf 🙄
I *highly* recommend checking out his interview with Oprah in 2006 when he first publicly talks about why he walked away
Did you have to look at Dave Chappelle to see that? I been felt like this, it's just that most people don't want to talk about it.

If Netflix wants to please 1% of people who have a problem with Dave's jokes 99% of us who love them can get another network. Those Netflix employees will have bright future in front of them.
And the sad part is that it's not even 1%. It's an extreme minority which is amplified by the media in order to skew everyone's view. Corporations are evil and more people are finally starting to realise it.
People may not realize it. But Dave is leading a revolution right now.
Everything is funny till it happens to you. He makes fun of everything and everyone. It's not personal. That's what you're not getting. He's just not gonna let himself get bullied. Because canceling people and taking their right to speak doesn't solve problems. Even if you don't agree with him. Comparing him to black face ministries shows is just racist AF btw.
He's using this manufactured controversy to cash in. $20 mil for an hour special is not being cancelled.
@Proper clearly you didn't watch all the specials especially the Closer and if you did you must've been asleep when he said if you listen to what I'm saying, you'd realise I'm against racism and not the LGBTQIA community.

Agreeing w him would never be from a position of hate, because he did not say what he said from a position of hate 😊. It was a freaking joke, he’s a comedian.

I am a liberal, I believe in a lot of the thinking behind woke-ism, but I also think comedy is one of those places where you should be able to say what you write, as long as it makes people laugh & it’s not meant to be cruel.

This is largely the fault of the media. There was barely anyone at that Netflix protest. It was ironic that the people who say they want a safe environment attacked 2 people waving signs that said "We love Dave" and "We like jokes". The media then attempted to portray those 2 people as the aggressors, falsely accusing one of them of shouting obscenities at the "peaceful" protestors that had attacked him, broke his sign, then falsely accused him of having a weapon so they could try and get him hurt. Why isn't the Netflix writer that was involved in that shit being fired? How is that acceptable behaviour? It's also ironic that one of the organisers of that protest has a history of making offensive tweets and jokes, calling gay people the F word and shit, but now that they're some spokesperson for "social justice", they get a pass.
I’m a transgender man and I have absolutely no issue with Him. He’s actually one of my favorite comedians and he is a genius.I think through his most recent special he actually helped us a lot. His story with Daphne really put something into words that a lot of people can’t and I’m personally thankful for that.
Only if more people saw it the way you do this world would be a better place.
would you agree he has been normalizing jokes for your community since his first netflix special???
@@t3productions591 Yeah. He makes fun of everyone it doesn’t mean he actually means what he’s saying. And honestly this whole community would be a lot easier to normalize if we went about it with a more comedic light hearted approach of expressing our identity’s (in some cases obviously not all) idk just my personal view. I still believe serious trans issues do need to be addressed but a comedy show is not the time or place for that. What Dave said may have hurt some people’s feelings but above all he’s helped our community in more ways than one.

Thank you I literally didn't see an issue with it
@@JayJones-xz1fl Also his Netflix special was by far the unfunniest one... which is why he probably rejected the multi-million dollar deal for the new Chappelle Show on Netflix... they probably try to censor his comedy routines and now they're coming after him, using the LGBTQ community as a means to an end...
Anyway, Dave is way too smart to cancel him... he can't be cancelled cause he simply isn't asking for permission to speak his mind... you can't cancel someone that doesn't give a shit what you think about him...
"I can not see what the fuss is about" is understandable. There are huge amounts of money, (wo)man hours, and entities that are trying everything they can to remove free speech protections in this country. They are also trying to establish that certain groups are above the others, the people of this great nation. You can make fun of Jews (which I am). You can make fun of Christians (which I am). But don't you dare make jokes about Islam. That's forbidden. In that same vein, the alphabet people as they are known as are above being made the butt of jokes. Just like the religions you can make fun of and the ones you can't. The one thing I do better than anything else is make people laugh. I have every intention when the time is right to be on stage performing my comedy, whether it's a casual open mic night or in a packed auditorium. Jokes are meant to bring laughter. I forget who said it but it was simple and brilliant. "Jokes are just words you say with the end goal of making someone laugh. How ever you lay those words out is up to you." It's almost formulaic. I think many would agree that some of the funniest jokes are some of the most offensive. And that's okay in the confines of comedy. I don't get butt hurt when I hear Jew jokes. If the point is laughter and not *intentionally* destroying someone's life, that can be a different discussion. In the case of Dave, one of the greatest if not the absolute greatest, he represents someone that can't be bought. Someone that stands by what he says and doesn't apologize for his craft. And he shouldn't have to. I've lived outside of the USA, the greatest country in the world. I can tell you with certainty we have more freedoms and prosperity than the hyper majority of the world. People like Dave that can't be bought are dangerous to the continued success of the corporate interest groups he mentioned. The man is no fool.

When it comes to comedy there’s 2 rules the comedian and audience should abide by.
1) Anyone and everyone is allowed to be offended if they’re joked about.
2) Nobody is allowed to tell the comedian what he can joke about.
I feel the more people complain about the closer, the more they are making his point. I also feel his moral compass is well calibrated. Listen with your ears, your heart and not your mouth.
to be honest I am not supporting trans but I feel like how is this different from when white people did racist jokes about black people and did black face ?
Because in the time you are talking about, there was no open discourse about embracing our differences. That’s one honest difference. You’re not following his art… furthermore, you would have to click on his face to hear him say it. Back in the day, you weren’t given the choice.
@@AbsoDom but even now if non black celebrity say n word they get canceled for being racist , also trans people didnt do anything to black people so why should we go out our way to target them , I think this is just another example of black people doing white people dirty work , you see how white and asian people draw image of themselves being acceptable toward lgbt when they the most homophobic but they dint show it , while I noticed how their is very obvious target in showing how black communities and black people are not progressive in their thinking how they very homophobic abd xenophobic toward other minorities , like when they stop asian hate was around they focus very much on how most the victims were targeted by black people most time , all this was to counter the BLM , so stop asian hate have actually gained more favor in public and media eyes then BLM , I dont know if you black or not but I feel like black people in general abd black americans in specific are failing in trap and this time if whites or asians started to genocide them it would be in self defense or claiming they making america great again etc .. black people are just too emotional in my opinion and they get so happy over little to no acheivement .
why would dave Chappelle even talk about lgbt people it not black people problem , he should talk more about black people issues in america but I also think he part of problem , he is driving people attention from real problems

@bobby macdermott he didnt lie , he did say that he dont know what happen to her in her life but he heard that she killed herself few days after the she tweeted defending dave chapelle comedy and people attacked her for it , He said he didnt know what happen to her in her life but bet dragging her didnt hel
When a Man can summon people to an Arena for a 5 minute monolog, GOAT mode has been activated
Darned straight!!
He did an entire show, this was his encore.
Right!
he really looks hurt by the fact that people are so hostile about comedy, and rightfully so
everything I've heard Chappelle say ever, came from the heart and he just wants to spread joy and love
actually I think that is the problem people thinking a guy who made a joke about kicking someone in the pussy and a baby selling weed on the corner was dead serious when he said he was team terf. People are taking a guy known for doing satire to the heart. Some people forget that the guy is a performer and that his stage presence is an exaggerated version of himself..
Maybe because not all his jokes can be bangers and relies on controversy.
Hostile just about comedy? From left to right, there are so many people from both sides who just have to make every little thing political at every minute. Everyone needs to chill a bit lol

@@DaArcaneNinja every great comedian has been controversial tho...from Pryor to Eddie to Martin to him....the best comedians are never the safe 1s...
Dave successfully changed the frame. He is a true master. Don't F with Dave.
Damn he is so smart! Im having trouble keeping up with his tactics! He's probably a chess master too! Dave for President!! Lol
You ain’t cancelled Dave. Louis CK still sells out all his shows and you will too!
He did. I was at this show it was sold out
Bitch did you even watch the video? His documentary is being turned away from film festivals due to the controversy...No shit he'll still be able to find work, that's not the point.

He speaks the most clearly we have ever seen. Stay strong dave.

I remember Dave Chappell even when I was 12 years old. I learned how to be savage while also being funny when it came to his unbelievable comedy. That's the best gift a comedian can give a audience. To always have a time to laugh and not take everything so dam seriously.
i have a lot of friends in the lgbtq+ community who are uncomfortable with my support of dave. i asked all of them why and they each said because of what he said in the closer. i asked them have they seen the full special. none of them said yes. i watched it myself, and anything controversial he coul of possibly said was either a joke or a lead up to a joke. dave's a solid guy who we can all learn from.
I had to cut ties with some people just because of this. I can't have people in my live who formulate an opinion based on hearsay, instead actually going to watch the show and see for themselves.
@Proper i dont suppose youve seen the special?
Greatest
@Proper haven’t seen it have ya?
@@RenoNowhere don't worry he is spamming this exact comment everywhere trying to bait. Guys a classic troll, but without the wit to you know, be good at it.
Not going to lie, if Dave ever gets tired of doing comedy he should run for governor or something bc he's an amazing speaker.
Honestly you’re onto something I could see real change coming from his voice and his firm stance
Hey was just the age of celebrity presidents
I would love that but I'm also worried that it might destroy him. These folks always find a way...
Agreed !
Dave for President!
This gave me goosebumps. Such a legend.
Yo.. And he was obviously inebriated. Still spoke clearly and intelligently. While continuing to drink on stage. 🐐
“AM I CANCELLED OR NOT?”
“NOOOOOO!”
That was just beautiful.
even if you don't like Dave Chappelle, you have to respect the amount of integrity the guy has. Definitely someone to look up to
Which integrity are we talking about, the integrity when he whined about being cancelled despite making 60 million from Netflix, or the integrity he displayed when cheating on his wife.
@@outofabook whining and making a statement are two different things find something else 🙄
@@RealgamerforLife This Bait is just baiting people trying to start shit with everyone dont waste your time trying to explain the message theyre too worried about what daddy Biden has to say in his hallucinations.
@@RealgamerforLife Saying something once and letting it go is a statement. Whining about cancel culture for over 3 years and multiple specials can't be anything but whining, sorry. So why don't you tell Dave to "find something else", because if there's anybody who needs a new subject it's him.
@@outofabook if those who want to cancel him and others would jist stop trying to dictate what others can or can not say then he would not have to keep talking about it. I may not agree with everything Dave says but I fully support his right to say it.
This man is the voice of millions of people the media trying to shut.
ok boomer
@@Predestinated1 Go back to your room.
oh shut up.
The Media is doing the SAME thing with the covid vaccines. Open eyes see clearly.
Dave is the type of person who we need more of. The ability to see situations from all angles and make humorous, intelligent jokes is crucial to our society. People cannot be brittle. People cannot learn and grow without seeing someone else’s points of view.
We got you Dave!!
I don't know much about Mr. Chappell, but from what I've learned so far he is a man of Principle, and should be highly Respected. So glad he is standing his ground and didn't do a knee jerk "I'm Sorry". Definitely a Leader ,Not a Follower🏆
Gotta give Netflix cred for being the only corporate standing by Dave!
They know he is money.
They're only doing so because he's such a big hit.
@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi Atleast they know it! Big hit or not, they know Dave is about to change the whole dynamic
Yeah, they're just aware that much of his comedy has an audience that spans broadly across ethnic and political spectrums.
The 8 ppl who dislike this were the amount of employees that walked out. Lol. Nobody cares.
Nailed it.
It's all those Hannah gadsby fans?
That Part.....👆🏾
Nothing but chills down my spine. Dave is a fucking legend
This guy will go down in history not only for being one of the greatest comedians ever. But one of the greatest thinkers ever. He stands up for his beliefs and is unwavering, he is willing to lose it all for a cause he believes to be righteous which is why he will be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest when it's all said and done.
Yeah, nah.
Unwavering, willing to give your life for Jesus Christ .The way you describe Dave Chappelle, is the way our father in Heaven expects of us, and pure love...
@@sallybonnie2381 maybe he shouldn't have instilled a blood lust and an inclination towards cognitive dissonance early in our development then hm?

As a comedian in my home country said: every minority has the right for discrimination!
That sounds strange at first but definitely hits the nail on the top. The art of Comedy/satire point out everything that concerns our society. No matter what it is. That's part of equal treatment in our everyday lives.
I’ll be Dave Chappelle fan for life. Some are hating him because of misinformation.
I think it also has a lot to do with blindly trusting the views of others. The bottom line is that most of those who criticize Dave seem to be doing so without actually having watched "The Closer" or at least read the transcript of Dave's words.
Yes, but it seems people these days go all in on hate based on misinformation, and their egos prevent them from self correcting, when they know the full story. People are waking up to this and a larger and larger group stuck between the left and the right is forming, maybe these kind of events are the way out of the divisiveness.
Which misinformation?
@@concernedcitizen3226 the notion that "The Closer" contains anti-trans sentiments, while the bulk of Dave's criticism and 100% of his scorn and anger are directed at some members of the LGBTQ+ community and are rooted in their treatment of one of their own, a trans woman and comedian who Dave had befriended and was working with, and who ended up taking her own life after a week of savage bullying from her community who attacked and ostracized her for no other reason than her defense of Dave
@@paoloadam
I saw the special. Dave was brilliant and the Daphne story could have been its own movie. It is sad how she was treated by people who claim they want inclusion for all.
I’m gay and I love Dave! He is the Lenny Bruce of our time. Keep talking Dave!
It's good that he's addressing the issue directly.

This man is a force of nature all by himself! Cancel a hurricane, you cannot! One of the extremely few real OGs!
No, he is not. Sure he is a great comedian and one of my favorite but as far as following the corporate narrative he is simply on the fence. He is a racist like all the rest of the communist blm.

Wow, I admire this guy. Mic drop, he is no coward. Go Dave Chapelle!
He has handled this situation with class. He is a good man
Yes sir you’re correct
You could see the tears in Dave Chappelle eyes when he’s talking about his friend Daphne.
I haven’t see one video on social media talking about what he’s doing for Daphne’s child. Raising money for the child future.
Where’s the empathy and compassion for his good deeds?
💯 they’re not ready for this. The same trans + community that screams equality but can’t take a joke on themselves and goes attacking Dave are same ones who killed Daphne 💔
nor haven’t I seen she was a student to become the first transgender comedian by dave himself and be the OPENING on his show to come out laughs w/ straights and lgbtq together and open doors to a new cycle for trans+ community in comedy.
The closer was dedicated to close cycles between the hate of one another and ppl missed the meaning behind that.
Dave is not raising money for Daphne’s daughter. He is supporting her daughter and will give her an inheritance when she reaches her age of majority. In other words, Dave is using his own money.
I'm so proud of you, Dave. You continue to get up and fight again and again and again. The world is Blessed to have your wisdom, strength, resilience and passion for teaching; especially during this time in history. Big Love and Massive Blessings for you and your family ❤ Love you, Bruddah ❤
What a fucking idol, voice of our times and for decades to come he will be remembered. I am glad to have lived in Dave Chappelle's time and to have witnessed the battles we've had to fight against those in power. Whether free speech prevails or not I was there when we stood for it. I hope long after our voices are gone, after I'm dead, the fight will carry on.
yea, it's pretty cool. he's like the george carlin of our time. a voice for the people in a time when everyone is being silenced. it people like chapelle who prevent authoritarian dictators from coming into power.
Well said! 💜💜💜
Lol calm down brother
Very well said: I'm not bending to anybody's demands. That is how you deal with these language censors. I say this as an actual leftist, not a liberal.
As a moderate conservative I share this viewpoint and respect your stance on this as well.
What's the difference???!! Hahahaha
finally!
I’m for broad social safety nets, think the US gets into dumb and counterproductive military engagements, I’m a social liberal and not a traditionalist, but I can’t stand ‘cancel culture’ or the associated moralism against comedy, against free inquiry, etc
That being said it’s funny because I’ve heard this view as both ‘ah, you’re a classical liberal’ or ‘ah, you’re a leftist not a liberal’ lol
Thank you!
What a legend. This man is absolutely untouchable. 🐐
Whenever we are ready,i will join the Army to protect this man.
Me 2!!!!
We are ready
I'll hold the line for this man any day of the week, because the first amendment is worth dying for.
I'm in
You sound insane??
People need to admit that they just like a villain to boo & hiss at because it allows them to show their virtue without the need to look too closely at whether they are a genuinely good person.
Some people need to admit they have a mentally dwarfed view in perception.
best comment so far. You seem a good person.
Well said.
He did this at Bridgestone Area, In Nashville, TN.... I was there and I felt his influence and power!
Again he scores high with his open honest questioning and challenging rubbish being flung at him. A movement has started . Thank you Dave Chappelle
I didn't see how he said anything that would insult Trans people in the closer. He was pretty gentle with them IMO. This guy jokes about everything and everyone, why would he leave the trans people out of that list? In a lot of ways I consider him a philosopher. He makes you think about things from different perspectives.
they didnt watch it
That's exactly true they didn't watch it
It’s also the media… big news started a culture or controversy, of anger, of embellishment, and sensationalism.
And now there’s hundreds of thousands of bloggers, hosts, and influencers that make their living off that model. Foaming at the mouth for something to point their judgement and outrage at.
The trans community is very insecure. Judgement is just a natural response to dealing with our own insecurity.
You gotta understand, the ideology of that portion of the T community is that you're literally committing genocide against them if you don't agree with how they see themselves. They're insane, and they're totalitarian. It's not something you can sort out with common sense.
My comment (which was articulated respectfully and professionally) got deleted from this thread, merely for critiquing exactly where this portion of the ___ community has a totalitarian premise in their worldview. Let me see if I do better with this - they believe disagreeing with them or making a joke about them is literally the same thing as removing their entire group from the world, the word I'm looking for starts with a "g" and its what a German man with a unique moustache tried to do. They don't see a distinction, and thus think force is justified because they believe it's an act of self defense.
Think about the pull this group has when social media companies will delete you merely for critiquing an IDEA from that group.
This is why it's so important for Dave to confront this ideology and say no, we're not censoring speech because you have a premise like that in your thinking.
i was there last night! the show was absolutely the best night of entertainment ive ever experienced
Wish I got to see him when he was in London but I'll take your word for it.
So this was just a snippet of the full show?
same here, did not expect donnell rawling and jeff ross to open best thing ive ever seen in person
Good for you. Where was it?
@@frankgradus9474 it was in nashville where the predators play
Yep i read about this now i want more of his specials !! And i am dutch and i live on Aruba this is going to be world wide suport for Dave🇦🇼🇱🇺
Dave Chapelle is just plain and simple incredible! He can take real life and make it funny, make it interesting and make it a teachable moment. You listen. You wait for what he’s going to say next. Love everything that is Dave Chapelle.
Dave and Burr need to go on a "FU2" tour. Every arena would sell out in minutes.
Burr is not so funny or brilliant if you ask me.
@@Berbs73 I didn't, but you're entitled to your opinion. He's only allowed to go after a certain group of people, and does it to perfection in my eyes. That's just my opinion, of course.
@@clevelandbci9562 That’s fair. But my opinion still stands. He’s not that great.
It should actually be documented at the same time that DC is actually great. Lol

Burr barely scratches the surface there, at best, imo.

If anything happens to Dave Chappelle from this moment on know what he stood for and what he accomplished in his life time, this man is more than a comedian we all need to pay attention to what happens through all this controversy because if we don’t they will try to burry Dave carrier wise and if they can’t do that they’ll try it other ways.
OMG where can I watch this whole series? His standup is like sermon, comedy, life lessons etc.
This actually might explains some of the "choices" Netflix has done with its series.
At least someone down there has the good enough sense to keep Dave going.
@bobby macdermott youtube news. GZ moron
Dave's integrity never bends even a little, just look at what he walked away from. It looks like it genuinely is bothering him now though, everything and everyone just piling on him
You either love Dave Chappelle or you’re wrong.
Your fans will never cancel you. Keep speaking the truth Dave, you have more support than you will ever know.
Can’t cancel the GOAT.
We Will NEVER EVER cancel Dave Chappelle! That's a pipe dream they got... Wishful thinking MUCH! All of Dave Chappelle supporters will stick together and WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED OR BACK DOWN! Go have several seats wayyyy in the back! NEXT! How about stand against what's going on in Texas ...the laws and everything else... Direct your energy into something like that... Y'all backwards smh... Y'all gone learn today though! Dave Chappelle is the G O A T! On PERIODT!
If a civil war starts, I just wanna say Dave Chappelle will go down as one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The 🤣
I went to his show in Toronto, and I want to watch the documentary again!
This man is a Legend. So much integrity and humor and he is as bold as they come.
FUCKING RIGHT, FUCK THAT STAND YOUR GROWN!!!🤨WHAT??
@@reshondajenkins7844 the mic toss at the end was straight up a boss move. I love it.
And the point "we want a safe environment, or we will make it unsafe for you" is exactly the point Dave has been making!! Stand strong, be proud, dont bend, and keep us laughing!!!!!
Marginalized groups have always had to use the threat of causing actual consequences for bigots in order to fight for and win their human rights.
Dave Chapelle is himself from a group that understands this.
I'm boggled as to how he's surprised that his own bigotry, in turn, might end up having consequences from people who are tired of it.
@@wasd____ there you go using all these buzz words and talking points from your circus. Makes me laugh how trans activist act like they survived 5 trillion worse than people of color. Be quiet.
You're the bigot. You're in an argument with reality.
If Dave didn't mention them in his routines, they would be whining about being excluded. Some folks just thrive on complaining.
That just ain’t it.
being offended is their KINK
Facts!!!
That’s facts bro, people just want to be offended cause their losers and lames and want something to talk about
💯
If what some people are asking for is acceptance respect towards others beliefs and views and expressions. They obviously need to accept and respect other people's beliefs and views and expressions...like Dave's. Goes both ways.
The respect for this man just grown more than ever.
Dave Chappelle is the GOAT. He can see the corporate interest behind all of this. He’s playing 4D Chess while everyone else who aren’t really aware are playing checkers.
And the CROWD HAS SPOKEN! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO! Love you, Dave! The realest, bravest man on these comedy streets!
I'm glad he's taking the time to address all this shit.
Btw, that jab at hannah gadsby was priceless! XD
I've never heard of her. Now me and a bunch of other people will look her up, increasing her recognition. But it will all be thanks to Dave Chappelle. And I'll go ahead and say he's probably right about her.
Yes. It had to he said. She is painfully unfunny to say the least.
I love that Chappelle has somehow turned himself into the cement shoes on the feet of any culture that tries to cancel him. No matter how hard you try, you're just gonna sink deeper.
This is what actual courage looks like
Same thoughts here
Thank YOU Dave Chappelle! You did not need to do this but you were strong and WE love you. We are with you and there is more of us for sure! I loved The Closer and all the shows. GOAT is Dave!
