Doing standup while black: Dave Chappelle's new special

[ponderingturtle]

Oh I completely agree. Trans people have a lot of discrimination to deal with. I think the point they were making on VBW is - and they sound hopeful here - that when those over forty are dead or old trans people will probably be almost universally accepted. That said, there will probably still be racism.

Of course trans women of color being the majority of the murders, they lose their status as black when they become trans I guess, at least to the black community.

Always sad to see creative types you liked in years past reach their "old man yells at cloud" stage.

Getting rich really does seem to do something to people's brains.

Would the bit have still worked and been ok if he picked Asians or Jews as his minority that advanced more than blacks?

And what a controversy!

Evidently it's literal violence to openly support Chappelle.

That person shaking the thing in sign guys face is deranged. How people can act like that and feel they hold the moral high ground is a head scratcher.

Did you miss the "Space Jews" bit?
