lol even Chapelle is getting blasted for doing what a comedian has always done... that is, point out and make fun of common stereotypes.buckmarkduck wrote:Tray Dub wrote:I don't understand why there's a tension between them. What LeBron said in support of China was cowardly and supportive of an evil regime. What Kyrie said about Jews was stupid and supportive of an old hatred that has had tragic consequences. Both should be criticized.
Did Kylie SAY anything though?
Here is a fun clip making fun of this situation.

The fact that the response to Kyrie/Kanye has been to completely shut them down - as opposed to thoughtful discourse explaining why their ideas lack merit - is indicative that our society is headed for a crash course. THAT mentality previously only applied to major institutions (corporations, universities, media etc...), but it has now extended to government entities who are trying to shut down what they deem as "disinformation", which is about 5 million times more dangerous than those other entities... why? Because the government has ability to imprison/punish; whereas, those other entities only have limited powers..... I mean, there is a reason that all "democracies" have placed a heavy emphasis on free speech. Now we are realizing the reason behind everything our founders put in place.
Anyways, a bit of a diatribe for the conversation at hand, but also somewhat related as it indicates that our current system is ripe for serious downfall.
