Remember his joke about the LGBT car ride? You know the one where the punchline is that no one likes trans people? That one? The transphobic joke?
Right now, you’re on the side of bigotry. It’s ok though. You can realize that people of all stripes are valid. It’s ok to change your mind. We all welcome people that aren’t bigots, but especially those that change because changing is hard.
edit2 watched it now, and can reiterate that Chappelle jokes are mediocre. Even the ad-lib he did when somebody’s phone rang was just … lousy. And that joke was all over the place, to me it obviously wasn’t just “the transphobic joke”.

Well, frankly I started from something you might call a trans ally. That’s my default, I guess. I’ve changed towards being more skeptical. And let me tell you, being condescending towards people is not a way to get more allies. It doesn’t work for smart people, average people, nor does it work for dumb people. Whichever you think I am.
It’s ok to joke about trans people. The problem with Chappelle is trans people are the butt of his jokes.
It’s a rule of life. If you’re punching down, you’re going in the wrong direction.
Also, he’s doing this in a climate where people are trying to eliminate trans people. Read the fucking room Dave
No, the people who clutch their pearls for trans people are the butt of his jokes.

Probably not, since it sounds like a rather mediocre joke. Like Chappelle jokes usually are. Let’s see if I can find it.

So I give an example of a transphobic joke and your response is it wasn’t funny?
You’ve got to be trolling
No, my response is that you’re being way too sensitive. Or alternatively, that the word transphobic has lost all meaning.
The room is a comedy club and everyone is laughing.
“If someone laughs then it’s morally unimpeachable” is a sentence you can just say.
“Well, as long as people are laughing, it’s okay!” - a bigot, in defense of bigotry.
You’re misrepresenting my comments.
And you’re misrepresenting a bigot.
