I was more offended by his Space Jews jokes than anything else. I am not Jewish but I think he went too far, but that's what comedians do. Nobody except grandma wants to go see a politically correct comedian. I think you along with many other people are missing his point. He has a problem with how black people are treated in this country, rightly so, and he has a problem with transgenders who want to say they have suffered more than his community and he is "punching down" on them. Like he said, some transgenders are victims until they need to white, then they call the cops. He signs off the special asking transgender community to stop "punching down" on black people. He's pretty clear about this but psychopaths will often deliberately misunderstand to make their case.

Yes, because punching on an even smaller minority is a good way to make a point about how black people are treated /s instead of punching up to the majority. In fact, he cares so much about his community, that he is against affordable housing because of course he is a NIMBY [1]. The transgender people (not transgenders), do not claim they have suffered more than his community, that's a strawman. Let's ask black trans people how their community has treated them. This is a disgusting degree of mental gymnastics to excuse outright reprehensible behaviour.

    So the person who claims to care about his own community doesn’t put his money where his mouth is, but gets to joke about a marginalised minority who in their overwhelmingly majority support racial equality (because they themselves are an oppressed minority and overwhelmingly liberal) in the name of defending his community (instead of attacking those who actually do the violence), and that is unrelated to his actions and behaviour because … ? Clear it up for me, how are his actions congruent with what he claims he does?
