Precisely. How are people that are working a job making an hourly rage deciding now that they are going to walk out on their job where are the resources coming from such a valid question this thing is deeper than people realize people are just hype by the drama of it all but they don't recognize the underlying structure and framework that is pushing and driving this people are being entertained but they're not recognizing that there is a level of danger that they are not sensing. Freedom of speech is being attacked in a major way. All of this is to make people afraid to speak their minds. You Bury Truth by taking away people's freedom to speak. The question we need to be asking is what lie are they getting ready to create that is going to dramatically affect our lives.

Who is behind the cancelled culture, People always say *they* like it is a secret organization, or a mysterious person like Keyser Soze from the movie The Usual Suspects Flame Monore and Godfrey said it is no one but white privilege men, who are trans gender. I don't know who is They are, but they are getting on my nerves. They still trying to cancel him, They know have celebrities putting out a PSA, They're mad Dave told the truth, but never say a word when it really matters. The trans community didn't do all this when Trump kicked them out the military. Where was all the energy when Black trans gender women where being beat and killed.

Being "gay" does not mean you deserve abuse and its as manufactured as racism. During recent Ancient times, and definitely before Christian indoctrination, there were "gays, lesbians, etc." among us.

It's a woman's (especially a Black woman's) knee-jerk reaction to a man saying anything that is in disagreement with her. It's part and parcel of a very disconnected structure that we have developed as a people. Not recognizing our wise and caring only for our own opinions and feelings, rather than listening and thinking.

I would just want to be around him and learn. Everything he had to say was pure truth. He educated the people on the show. Profound statements. Yes, the alphabet people have been like this for decades. Dave even said, why can't we get the same attention and laws passed and people to stand with us. Its a classic argument of the oppressed becomes the oppressor. Can claim victim when you're ruining people lives when they don't agree. The 1st amendment is under attack especially when it doesn't fit into the narrative.

Capone speaking from a emotional nonstrategic point of view, and I feel him but that’s the last line of defense if diplomacy doesn’t work.

[@TheJcoates493]

A small group of individual do not speak for everyone, and he is pointing out that giving it publicity is just fueling the fire. So why are we even paying attention to them?

[@sherisetyus4609]

The part of the conversation that Khan spoke on about the hate is the “REAL” reason all of this is happening. People don’t listen nor pay attention to what’s really going on. The backlash is because Dave talked about walking away from $50 mil and how HBO wouldn’t give him a meeting to pitch Chappell Show. Then turn around and want to add The Chappell show to their network line up. Chappell appealed to his fans about this hypocrisy and their audacity and his fans responded by supporting his request. That is power and that’s what “they” don’t like. So now they’re attempting to create a narrative that he is against transgender people. This is NOT what it is. Now we have another Colin Kaepernick situation!!!
