The 47-year-old New Jersey native, who has appeared in Hollywood films and
reality TV shows, made the remarks during her new Netflix comedy special,
Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall.
Buteaus set included a graphic joke about her beautiful, black, lesbian
friend, which she submitted as an example of how comedians should joke about
people who fall under the LGBT acronym.
What Im saying is it can be done. It can be done. We can tell jokes and
stories and not disparage a whole community, Buteau said, per CNN. We can
do that, we can make it funny. You just have to work at it, right? So if you
guys ever run into Dave Chappelle, can you let him know that sh**?
Buteau said she doesnt think she will ever run into Chappelle because he is
the GOAT.
And he is the GOAT, if that means going off about trans people. Dave, its
not funny. Its dangerous, the comedian went on. I cant believe somebody
would make millions and millions of dollars for making people feel unsafe.
That is so wild to me.
Buteau said she wants to make millions and millions of dollars for making
people feel safe, seen, secure, heard, and entertained.
Chappelle was ripped in 2021 for making jokes that the mainstream media and
others deemed transphobic in his Netflix comedy special The Closer.
Leftists were so enraged that one transgender employee reportedly organized a
walkout in protest. That person was later fired for sharing confidential,
commercially sensitive information outside the company.
In his Netflix special, Chappelle claimed to be team TERF, an acronym for
trans-exclusionary radical feminist. He defended J.K. Rowlings stance that
biological sex that men cannot be women.
Chappelle went on to win a Grammy Award for The Closer.
[Kinda late to be jumping on that bandwagon, isn't it?]
