I’ll have to ask my best friend’s parents. She’s white and just like this. We’re just hitting our midthirties and she’s been talking about this since we were in high school. Her parents are like my second set of parents, and my parents are like her second set (my dad loved her as another child; he passed in 2019.)

White lady here....

She ended it with “I said what I said.”

Well, it’s not just the “healthy” part but he goes on to say she’s “his greatest treasure” with a baseball card coming in at a close second. That’s just sad.

Just listened to the behind the bastards podcast about the duggers. They are fucking vile vile cultists

From an InTouch article about The Duggars:

Pratt Wife 2.0 looks at Chris the same way my sister’s dog looks at me when I have Beggin Strips in my hand.

I’m sorry, darling, but when one says, “I’m team TERF,” one is quite literally, in fact, saying that trans people don’t deserve to live, because that’s part of the message of TERFs: trans people don’t “really” exist and don’t deserve to be treated as if they are in fact trans. That they must be forced to “be” what…

That seems like they only want the things gone that hurt them

I’m unaware of anyone who’s said all Chappelle content should be scrubbed, I certainly never said it, nor did you even imply that you were talking about scrubbing his content in your initial comment.

But I also believe that people aren’t really listening to him and understanding what he’s been through.

Oh we’re “both siding” bigots who fundamentally believe some humans shouldn’t have the same right to exist as everyone else?

I’m not shouting down his concerns about anti-Blackness. There’s a consistent thread here which is “you’re not engaging with the REAL issue he’s putting forward, and that’s just so telling” and it’s entirely frustrating because yes, absolutely, we need people talking about this. His experience is not a handwave.

But he…

For what it’s worth, the people I see gleefully submitting multi-paragraph defenses of Chappelle in comment sections these days appear to be mostly het white men. Joe Rogan types flooding the internet with what they think are formal philosophical deconstructions of wokeness. Not that they aren’t allowed to have their…

“Wokeness” is just their latest branding of “political correctness”. While the name may change, the line of bullshit stays the same.

Wasn’t Howard Stern doing the same thing in the 1980s and 1990s? He was being NBC to fuck with him.

Honestly, I see all the complaining about “wokeness” as childish outrage from grown men/women that can’t accept a world where their “jokes” are not accepted. 

The fear of irrelevance seems to be exactly it in my opinion. All of this just seems like publicity for a special that just wasn’t funny. I actually got through this one because, truth be told, I didn’t find it to be nearly as offensive as the last one. The last one was just so...mean...that it was cringey. When I…

In a country that is basically 50% Trumpers, that will always leave plenty of dollars in the pockets of celebs who “dare” to openly offend or ridicule the marginalized of society. And having half the country support your work is not  being “cancelled” in any sense. 

The cancellation in comedy cottage industry is just an extension of the online media scandal one and the “speaking the truth” political pundit one.
