    Okay.

    I just watched that for the second time.

    And I am open to different interpretations. Maybe there is something I’m missing. But I don’t see a single thing in that monologue – or in his comments on trans people – that strikes me as unfair, or untrue, or even hurtful. Granted, I am a member of a privileged demographic, and I haven’t experienced the pain that plagues trans people, or Jews, or the Black people, or anything else.

    But I don’t get anything from Dave Chapelle that makes me think he is willfully, or even inadvertently, harming any group of people.

    And I think that Chapelle and Carlin are the best comedians that the USA has ever produced.

    I put in Richard Pryor. Eddie Murphy’s “Raw,” was fantastic.
