The unusual thing is that a big and lucrative corporation is standing firm against a social-media onslaught.Īll I can say about Chappelle is that I’ve seen some of his other shows, or parts of him, and see him as a latter-day Lenny Bruce, who deals frankly with topics about which people have strong feelings. As you know, given that it dealt with transsexual issues, it caused an uproar, much of it is already reported on Wikipedia.
Those of you who did see it can (and should) weigh in below. I still haven’t seen Dave Chappelle’s Netflix special “ The Closer“, so I can’t weigh in on whether what he said was in horrible taste or not.
