Dave Chappelle managed to address the controversy surrounding last year’s standup specials and ignite a new one all at once.
The comedian’s latest Netflix standup offers a measured response to jokes about Caitlyn Jenner and the transgender community, though a subsequent special sees Chappelle questioning both the #MeToo movement and fellow comedian Louis C.K.’s accusers.
In it, Chappelle attempted to clarify his thoughts on the transgender community, and shared a letter from a transgender fan that made him rethink the bit.
The bit continues with Chappelle likening her experience to Dr. Martin Luther King giving up his Civil Rights dream after a similar encounter.
