Dave Chappelle addressed the backlash against his transphobic jokes by appearing to blame trans people for “inciting violence against themselves”
Chappelle also later claimed that he asked the protesters, “’Where are the Black transgenders at? And them n—s were like, ‘They were just here.’ No they weren’t.” We don’t have a breakdown of the protester demographic at his Minneapolis show, but what is known is that Black and Latine folks make up the largest number of deaths in the trans community each year, according to the. Black trans women, specifically, are at the highest risk for violence and have been for years.
“There’s a thing they do where they deliberately obscure what I think they believe is the intent of my work to make a moment of it that I don’t know that the work necessarily merits,” he said. “You know what I mean?” It’s unclear how trans people can “deliberately obscure” the fact that in hiscalled himself “team TERF,” or trans-exclusionary feminist, compared trans people’s genitals to plant-based substitutes, and seems to be fixated on making jokes about trans women’s private parts.
Chappelle even had a chance to save himself at one point during the podcast. A co-host tried to imply that Chappelle was “pro-everything” when it came to trans rights and that his performances were separate from his personal beliefs. Chappelle cut him off: “Slow your roll,” he said. One thing Chappelle did admit was that he got in his feelings after the show was canceled. “I was upset. I wasn’t mad that they canceled the show,” he said. “I was mad at the statement they released… You’re sorry? For booking me? What’s there to be sorry about is the position I was taking… I’m not even mad that they take issue with my work. Good, fine. Who cares? What I take issue with is the idea that because they don’t like it, I’m not allowed to say it.
