Tonight, on It's Real Talk Radio, we will be discussing the LGBT Community's attempt to cancel Dave Chappelle for his jokes on his latest Netflix stand-up comedy special, "The Closer." The Trans Community in particular has taken Dave's Trans jokes extremely offensive and have since been exercising all their resources to punish the legendary comedian. This isn't Dave's first clash with the LGBT Community, as he has cracked numerous jokes on multiple specials but "The Closer" hit different because he really came with heat!

In response to "The Closer", hundreds of Netflix employees staged a walk out in support of the Trans Community, who was the butt of Dave's jokes for the special. The Trans Community has since been in an uproar, including the protest that followed the walkout of the Netflix employees, who are a representation of "Team Tran." Dave Chappelle has been under fire ever since while the Trans Community has continued to apply pressure, even going as far as demanding that Netflix pull "The Closer" from their platform, where the controversial special exclusively lies.

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos had a tough dilemma. Stand in solidarity with the LGBT Community and pull Dave Chappelle's special "The Closer" from his platform or stand behind his #1 streaming comic and allow the special to stay. It was basically the LGBT Community vs Dave and Ted Sarandos chose Dave and as a result, "The Closer" remains on Netflix and the Trans community isn't happy about it. You can officially add Dave Chappelle to Cancel Culture's hit list.

The Trans Community has since demanded that Dave meet with them to discuss the offensive jokes from his special and the impact of transphobia on the Trans Community, in which Dave responded in true Dave fashion. "I'll meet with you, but it will be on my time and a place of my choosing."
