The US has simply become "revolving door" of victimhood hasn't it. Seriously think back over the last 4 years it's one "disparaged" group after another lining up after another with some example of how they are the victims of hate, just begging for some type of sympathy (power) - it's absolutely tragic.
I can't stand Kyrie Irving. He's the epitome of the mega-entitled a$$wipe professional sportsperson that believes his athletic ability has transcended to intellectual ability and sadly has the platform to tell us all the way life is and how it should be lived. But thing is, he has a right to and I can change channels, close the app at any time. He also has a right to watch whatever garbage he wants to - you don't have to like it but it's his choice.
The suspension of Irving is preposterous. If exercising an amendment right in this country and not disavowing it based on content is seen as bringing the league into disrepute then that's troubling - if the league really wanted to investigate behaviours of it's players across the board that bought it's integrity into disrepute we might as well wipe 30 games off the schedule every season. Lebron can go on his own show barbershop show, drop N-bombs and talk about how he hated all white people when he was at high school and that doesn't bring the league into disrepute? GTFOH
Chappelle was incredible. Good on him - he's an incredibly smart guy and has the platform through his profession and reputation to say the things that need to be said without being cancelled to oblivion. Massive win.
And before the swathe of SJW downvotes come in on this post, just remember...
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. Some people are offended by mixed marriage, gay people, atheism. So what? Fuck 'em.
The prominent voice backing Kyrie and Ye is Louis Farrakhan and you still want to defend Chappelle's defense of the two?
Seriously?
The truth is the truth.
And Farrakhan has never been afraid of truth telling about the powers that be.'
Which is why you have been propagandized to think he is evil.
Malcolm X said "The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.” Media has the power to influence minds, ideas, behaviors, and attitudes of the masses
In the 2002 interview, the former government minister was asked by Amy Goodman: “Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli government, people here are called antisemitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew?”
Aloni replied “Well, it’s a trick, we always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticising Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country [the US] people are criticising Israel, then they are antisemitic.” (See the whole interview here.) She said there was an “Israel, my country right or wrong” attitude and “they’re not ready to hear criticism”. Antisemitism, the Holocaust and “the suffering of the Jewish people” were used to “justify everything we do to the Palestinians”, claimed Aloni.
Apart from whether I'm offended and whether I want to be deprived of Dave Chapelle's voice, just tell me whether I am wrong to think that it is anti-semitic to say, as he did, that Hollywood is run by the Jews.
