If they really looked at what Chappelle was saying and the points he was trying to make they may change their opinions of him and his comedy. Or maybe not. I just got a vastly different experience out of The Closer than they did, and I still don't fully understand the outrage, let alone call-outs for hate speech.

I don't have Netflix anymore so I can't specifically comment on the special or generate any sort of reaction but I thought that Bill Maher had a great dialogue last night with Yang and McWhorther.
