I'm always amazed with Chappelle. He's funny, insightful and says what everyone is afraid to. Because he's not black and white on issues, he's grey. And in these times, that's not easy to do. And it's never easy to do because it requires you to open up and reveal what you really think. And not conform to what your group thinks. To do this you have to be a maverick. And it's not easy.
In these times of social media cliques, outrage, oversensitivity and cancel culture to have your own opinion isn't acceptable. Each side wants you to agree without question or else you're the enemy. Well I have my own thoughts and I see the holes in many of these causes. That not everybody that identifies with them is genuine And so does Chappelle. And I agree with almost everything he says. It's nice to see someone else saying it to know that I'm not alone. I'm sure others feel the same way. And that's why we need Dave. He thinks what I think and says it much better than I could and makes it funny. And puts it ways that I could never articulate or think of like him. Dave's a smart guy. He looks at things and questions them. He doesn't close his eyes and repeat what he's supposed to. To think that Dave is transphobic only means one thing: you aren't listening. And that's exactly what's wrong with these days. No one is really listening.
So many of us are supportive of everything gay but are confused by the ever changing meanings of definitions and the whole trans thing in general. I don't understand it completely but I do the best I can. No matter what I'll be supportive, because a human is still a human and I'll never discriminate. And there needs to be dialogue between us to help understand. There isn't going to be when the standard is that we can't even ask questions without being branded as the enemy.
I question every part of life. They're no different. People shouldn't follow with blind acceptance. You should always think about life and the meanings behind everything for yourself. And Dave is the only one brave enough to do this in public. Every single person I know is accepting but confused. And they're all afraid to bring it up to other's because they don't want to be called a Nazi. When I bring it up to friends they are so happy that they aren't alone with their thoughts. And they are always supportive but confused and it's nice to talk about it to find a better understanding and not feel alone. And why do we usually start talking about this? A Chappelle stand up special.
We need people that are brave enough to reflect the voice of people instead of living in this world of fear where everyone is afraid to ask questions to better understand something. Lying about human behavior isn't going to get us anywhere. Repression is never good. Especially out of fear. Let's not forget that straight people are the majority. The trans are the minority. They're even a minority of a minority. The internet would have you believe this is reversed.
Not the funniest of his specials but it's not like his jokes fail. It's just not as funny as some others. It's just as good. It's almost not the point to laugh. Dave is talking about real stuff and it's funny along the way.
And another thing. Just because one trans person or person from a group says they feel a certain way about something, that doesn't represent the entire group. The internet loves to do this but we all have our own thoughts no matter what race, religion or sex we are.
