I guarantee that most of these people didn't watch the special. They are just confirming Dave's message. Oh well.

Dave will be fine. Netflix will be fine.

I wish their was more uproar over other stuff that's on Netflix that is way more offensive, in my opinion.

By your post you justify that racism is ok because people should just accept people should be free to have ideas. I agree, they can have those ideas but they aren’t free from the consequences of having shitty ideas. Yes I believe people can change. As for his views, he straight up said he was a trans exclusionary radical feminist. He said it multiple times in the special. Go look at what that means. He is AGAINST leg…

> He is AGAINST legislation for trans rights. Anybody who is FOR legislation of "rights" predicated on a non-falsifiable self-proclamation is almost certainly an idiot. I don't dispute that gender dysphoria is real, it most certainly is. I don't dispute that living this way in a world that doesn't acknowledge who you are is a real bummer. But advocating for legal recognition of a person's declaration, a word that can…

This is a perfect explanation of why ”I’m living my truth” and post-modernism is completely incompatible with a functioning society.

For those who haven't seen the special, the core of the controversy appears to be Chappelle mourning his friend, Daphne Dorman. She was a transgender standup comedian who opened for Chappelle and defended his comedy against the Twitter mob. She killed herself shortly after she was canceled by the mob and Chappelle set up a trust fund for her daughter. Chappelle paid tribute to her in his special, but he did it in an…

The only positive mainstream review I’ve seen of his special was not all that positive, but that it was really a Rorschach test for your political leanings. What are the chances not one mainstream outlet had a positive review, was it really that unfunny? He makes jokes about Jews, and Blacks, and Whites, that are completely overshadowed by Twitter (which is not a real place) claiming it was entirely anti-trans. No on…

Dave Chappelle's new special is well worth watching. It is one of the best pieces of comedy by the greatest comedian of our time.

It's just bullying. "Wokeism" gives bullies the opportunity to bully in socially acceptable ways. Note the comments in this thread defending the mobs. If wokeism wasn't around, they'd find something else to oppress people. Ironically, these people would've been _great_ racists in a different time. The problem is bullying. I don't know why it's so hard for people to recognize when they agree with the bully, but these…

Being "woke" is black freedom fighter slang that described an understanding of the case for reparations and police reform. It is being bastardized by people with an agenda in the dominant white society with the help of the media to undermine and/or distract from that movement. Understand that by misusing that slang, you are also assisting them in doing the same. People that understand the actual definition correctly…
