Part 7/10:
Despite his resilience, Chappelle notes the media’s portrayal of his jokes as targeting marginalized communities, especially trans individuals. He points out the hypocrisy of headlines that accuse him of “targeting disabled people” or “white liberals,” emphasizing that his material is always broad and satirical. He references past protests, such as the March on Netflix organized by activists, which he dismisses as pathetic and ineffective.
He also praises Netflix and the company’s support for him, mentioning that Netflix fired an activist who attempted to leak internal information about Chappelle’s contract and specials. This stands as a testament to Netflix’s backing, even amid mounting pressure from activist groups.
