In this episode, I talk about how I feel about people’s responses to “The Closer.” It is my opinion that people who are upset with the special didn’t like the special don’t like Chappelle in general.
I talk about how people have missed the point of the special because he was trying to explain racism through the lens of several different movements. I also discuss how I feel about Daphne Dorman’s story, and why it shouldn’t be ignored.
