They tryna come for Dave Chapelle

The National Black Justice Coalition has called on Netflix to remove The Closer—Dave Chappelle’s controversial standup special that has been deemed transphobic.

Immediately after its release on Tuesday, The Closer began receiving backlash over a series of anti-trans comments from the 48-year-old comedian. At one point during the gig, Chappelle declares himself a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and expresses support for J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter author who claimed trans women posed a threat to those who were assigned female at birth.

“It is deeply disappointing that Netflix allowed Dave Chappelle’s lazy and hostile transphobia and homophobia to air on its platform,” NBJC executive director David Johns sai

d in a statement to Deadline. “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. Netflix should immediately pull The Closer from its platform and directly apologize to the transgender community.”

GLAAD also weighed in on the controversy Wednesday, praising both critics and viewers who have publicly slammed Chappelle’s comments

This sounds like a black organization that was created by white people to attack other black people. Nah we don’t believe you, you need more people.

 

They just proved his point

 

They're proving his point

Dave is the gawd!

 

This is a fools errand.

The only people that can be cancelled are those that depend on big box media for their lifestyle.

Dave Chappelle hasn't been one of those people in almost 20 years.

 

LGBTQ org hiding behind the branding name called "black coalition"

 

Dave can’t be cancelled for sayin his opinion…. and he knows that people are tired of cancel culture…..

 

They not going to put a dent in Teflon Dave. Dude got the Netflix deal, cacs on the payroll, and brehs fitting to ride on the LGBTBBQANDRIBS to protect the dude.

This is like a LSD trip of what Lenny Bruce had to endure with his comedy in a awkward time, yet this is easy mode with the cheat codes on with Dave
