But supposedly Chappelle is the victim because members of that community call him out for using his huge platform to spew stereotypes which most likely played a part in those murders. This is about more than being butthurt. You see, you hide behind a name. Anyone who clicks your name can't see who you are. That makes you a coward and a hypocrite as you criticize me and mine about our supposed lifestyle choices and being butthurt. You are in no position to lecture me. Chagrin, you sound like a typical defender of Dave Chappelle in this instant - a nothing-happening nobody thinking that defending a celebrity will give him or her some sort of status. Bullies make people laugh, too. But at the expense of other people<br /><br />Another comedian, George Carlin, speaks better to the situation even though he died before it took place. In comedy you should not punch down, but punch up. There is no such thing as fair game when it comes to something like this. Comedy and bullying are concepts divided by very thin lines and when you - as Chappelle did - makes fun of an unfairly misunderstood and maligned community, that's bullying. It's not comedy.<br /><br />And that makes you worse for defending him. Tell you what. Don't hide. Let everyone see who you are, then let everyone make fun of your deficiencies. Your possible big nose, ridiculous shape, maybe you have big ears or rotten teeth. <br /><br />Or talk more about your family situation. Were you abused as a child? Do you have mental issues?<br /><br />Tell me how you would feel is someone made fun of THOSE things. Don't get angry. It's just comedy. Or would you finally see that sort of thing as bully?BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-89400014742891835852021-11-01T08:38:50.570-07:002021-11-01T08:38:50.570-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-74892089618512589382021-10-28T11:14:55.805-07:002021-10-28T11:14:55.805-07:00**sigh****sigh**Autumn Sandeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289590807372899212noreply@blogger.com
