Dave Chappelle embraces 'being canceled' over 'transphobic' comments in comedy special

Dave Chappelle embraces ‘being canceled’ over ‘transphobic’ comments in comedy special and said the following about it. “If this is what being canceled is like, I love it,” Chappelle said Thursday. “F— Twitter. F— NBC News, ABC News, all these stupid ass networks.” And this is why we all love Dave Chappelle… No matter what side you’re on you know that when you listen to his specials you’re getting the truth how he knows it, and from his real point of view. Agree with him or not he’s never held back, and this is something that must be respected. He’s a brilliant comedian and the one time comedian who joked about how during 911 people were wondering where was Ja Rule in all this, and what his thoughts were. Dave said “Who gives a fuck what Ja rule has to think in a time like this!” Well Dave isn’t Ja Rule, and we all like to hear what Chappelle has to say in times like these. Agree or not you know you’re at least hearing his real life point of view, and not some cookie cutter CNN or BIG TECH prep speech.

Dave’s critics accused him of “ridiculing trans people” in his Netflix special “The Closer,” which debuted earlier this week. “Gender is a fact,” he said during the program while defending author J.K. Rowling against critics who openly called her transphobic.

“Every human being in this room, every human being on Earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on Earth. That is a fact,” said Chappelle.

His comments earned him considerable push back from The National Black Justice Coalition, an LGBTQ advocacy organization, who urged Netflix to remove “The Closer” from its platform. They said the media giant “should know better.”

Dear White People showrunner Jaclyn P Moore, who is transgender, announced a boycott of Netflix over the “transphobic” special, claiming that the comedian’s jokes were “dangerous.”

“The fact is that’s the exact rhetoric and language that is used against us,” Moore said in an interview with Variety. “He talks about our feelings being hurt. My feelings are fine, but being thrown against a wall hurts or worrying at night if I can get home safe.” “I’m really tired of my existence being a matter of debate, that this is something that we all just get to have an opinion about. We all get to have an opinion whether or not I am what I say I am,” Moore continued. “Look, I have no desire to cancel Dave Chappelle. He should make whatever he wants to make.”

But Moore said to Netflix “it’s not like this was a live special.” He claimed they saw this and were like, ‘Yeah this seems okay to put out there.’ “The truth is it’s not. It’s dangerous and it has real world physical violence repercussions.”

“People like to say, “Oh, it’s just a joke.” I get the joke,” Moore added. “By the way there’s a lot that’s funny about being trans, but the idea that it’s funny that we call ourselves women, which was the subtext of a lot of those jokes, is not one of them. It’s actually the same language used by people who seek to hurt us.” GLAAD also slammed Chappelle, adding the comedian’s brand “has become synonymous with ridiculing trans people and other marginalized communities.”

A Netflix spokesperson denied a request for comment at the time of writing.

😂Uber Eats😂 delivery guy eats customer's order of Buffalo Wild Wings & is caught on security cam!

Well this should make AOC proud! As she recently advocating for people to steal food if they hungry… And he was as he said, and I quote! ‘Oh, I was hungry’good job there guy.

The Uber Eats delivery driver refuses to apologize for eating his customer’s order of Buffalo Wild Wings after he was caught on security camera! Can’t make this shit up folks…. An Uber Eats customer was shocked to discover a delivery driver eating his meal after he watched security footage and noticed it had been tampered with.

Richard Jackson, who lives in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, was looking forward to enjoying 15 boneless chicken wings from his local Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant.

But the after spotting sauce smeared all over the bag and realizing the man arriving at his door had already tucked into it, the order became less appealing. ‘He’s walking along the grass and then my camera happened to pick him up. I gestured towards my camera,’ Jackson told CBS News about the incident. ‘He was clearly caught digging into my food.

‘He was digging into the bag, you know, sort of chucking the boneless wings repeatedly popping them in. This is when I see the sauce smeared all over the bag. It’s missing several pieces of the chicken.’

The video appears to show the driver reaching into the bag almost immediately after getting out of the car. Footage from one of Jackson’s several cameras around his property shows him refusing to accept the order after an inspection. ‘I did challenge him on why he was eating my food,’ Jackson said.

‘He eventually admitted to eating my food. He said, “Oh, I was hungry.”‘

The driver was not the same one originally assigned to his order, Jackson said. Jackson got a refund for the meal but he is not happy with the restaurant for not putting a tamper-proof seal on the container. ‘It’s concerning that he was so nonchalant,’ Jackson said, ‘especially during a pandemic where we have a highly transmissible disease.’

Uber said it was looking into the incident. A large number of businesses have been relying on food delivery orders amid the pandemic. According to Uber, 82 percent of restaurant operators say Uber Eats has been crucial to business during COVID-19 and 75 percent of operators said that they would have had to close their business if not for Uber Eats.

A whopping 81 percent said they would have had to lay off staff members if not for third-party delivery and Uber Eats partners have reported more impact from the app than others during the crisis, including a larger increase in sales. Some partners saw sales increase by more than 40 percent.

CBS reported that s 2019 U.S. Foods study found 28 percent 500 delivery worker polled admitted to eating customers’ food and more than half said they were tempted by the smell. Which is why I never get any of these places to deliver anymore cause you never know with Uber Eats. These people don’t give a shit about doing a good job, and Uber doesn’t do shit about it. I wonder if they can take this guy to jail over this?
