    Chappelle has said far worse things about every other race than Richards did about black people that night, but as we know that somehow doesn’t count

      You might not have noticed, but young adults aren’t big Chapelle fans these days either. The whole transphobia thing doesn’t play so well with the under-40s.

      And Chapelle’s comedy is cringe and awful, and completely unrelated to the topic at-hand. Nice strawman.

        I’m sure you love strawmen, you get to burn down someone whose opinion deviates from yours even a little. We used to call it “wrong think” when we were actually fighting for people’s rights and not just being arrogant assholes, pushing everyone away from the left.

      Sure this applies only if you also think that Chappelle should also be tarred and feathered. But you’re here wanting to forgive both of them.
