Dave Chappelle Faces Backlash Over New Comedy Special ‘The Closer’

In not so surprising news, Dave Chappelle is facing backlash over his recent comedy special.

On Tuesday Chappelle dropped his last stand-up special (for Netflix) called ‘The Closer.”

In one clip he talks about rapper Da Baby and his controversial statements at Rolling Loud festival in Miami.

“In our country, you can shoot and kill a n***a, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings,” he joked.

In another section he discusses the LGBTQ+ community — specifically trans women.

“Now, I am not saying that to say trans women aren’t women, I am just saying that those p—ies that they got… you know what I mean? I’m not saying it’s not p—y, but it’s Beyond P—y or Impossible P—y. It tastes like p—y, but that’s not quite what it is, is it? That’s not blood,” he said. “That’s beet juice.”

Unfortunately not everyone was laughing online.

Dave Chappelle and his aggressive hostility towards trans people is a perfect example of someone hearing mild criticism and deciding, "I'm gonna be so much worse."
