I think Chappelle's an amazing joke writer, and I think no subject should be off limits. But I also think he was coming at the subject from a kind of shitty place and that comes across bad in some of his material. He could probably pull those jokes off better if he didn't sound so angry about it. That's my critique as an audience member. But we shouldn't accept this kind of social media bickering as a substitute for political discourse.

Sorry you're wrong I'm right!
All jokes aside, Dave has brought some people out the woodwork protesting him over honestly what is simply jokes. When he did Sticks & Stones, He got some backlash but the Closer just literally had people screaming at him like he murdered their children. This kind of crap he's been getting is political. It's all about what you can and cannot say that really rubbed me the wrong way. People are asking for laws where you can't make fun of the alphabet people which to me seriously is a rabbit hole some countries are already starting to go down. I respect Dave for standing his ground & I hope he keeps to it because we as a country need to stand up to this cancel culture mentality.
It's seeped into all forms of American issues from politics, companies, and all sorts of things where something you said 20 years ago can literally ruin your life and put you out of a job or career just because you said something either stupid or careless years ago. Thankfully some push back is finally happening more & more but guys like Dave need to stand their ground because nobody needs this kinda shit in their lives where words can ruin you.
