Chappelle’s latest comedy special, The Dreamer, dropped on Netflix on Sunday (31 December), with the comedian supposedly focusing on the early years of his career in Hollywood and how he found success.

However, after just a few minutes, he was making jokes at the expense of the trans community. Similar content in earlier routines have led to him being heavily criticised.

In the new special, he claimed to “love punching down” and also mocked disabled and gay people.

[…]

“I’m tired of talking about them. And you want to know why I’m tired of talking about them? Because these people acted like I needed them to be funny. Well, that’s ridiculous. I don’t need you.”

He said he would instead be doing jokes about disabled people. “Tonight, I’m doing all handicapped jokes. They’re not as organised as the gays, and I love punching down.”

It so sad that the only way he can make it as a comic is to put down the disabled and us he is playing to a White supremacist audience that is just eating up.

What is even worst is that Netflix is giving a audience to this bigot.
