Dave chapel doesn't talk a lot about black trans people in his special. Why do you think that is? I think, honestly, because he thinks it doesn't matter. He really seems to view transpeople as this sort of like group of shrill, entitled white people yambering on about pronouns and then getting mad at him. Nothing in dave chapel' special really acknowledges that.
Vox's Aja Romano explains how Dave Chappelle's latest standup special led to a reckoning at Netflix. Vulture's Craig Jenkins assesses whether there's anything funny in it.
Today’s show was produced by Amina Al-Sadi with help from Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro and Cristian Ayala, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
