Dave Chappelle “gender is a fact” has show cancelled.

Perhaps it’s his phallocentric take on things: act of creation, rather than delivery. 😉

At the relocated gig Chappelle said he understood the venue's decision as the children of staff members had been threatened.

That's appalling. I also saw a tweet by people who had filmed one of the senior staff of the original theatre going into the show in its new location trying to start a pile on on this woman.

As opposed to the racism of the TRA who state black womxn are only women if we include males? Classic TRA lazy everyday racism right there. Why not pop off and discuss casual racism with them.

@Conflictedunicorn I was addressing my remark to Clovefeld and her performative virtue signalling bollocks, which many of us none white people despair of (and increasingly find is making our lives harder).

Perhaps but no one gets cancelled for they carry on, do they? It's the sacred caste thing again

This question has been asked several times. With no answer yet. So yes, another one here waiting to hear.

We see you? Right back at ya.

I do personally think the terms 'black' as well as 'white' in themselves isn't helpful for describing whole groups of people with different cultural and language roots and backgrounds, but that's a different topic not related to this thread.

So you want us not to say that black people are black, while you are calling us racist?
Are you quite well?

Totally agree...the irony though is lost on them.

I am increasingly finding racism only exists when you are black and also happen to say and believe all the right things.

If you don't, then suddenly it's alright to be discriminatory.

Well exactly. And women don't bother getting this kind of thing cancelled. Which I'm OK with, freedom of speech etc. I don't have to like it.

@lovelyweathertoday - if women had complained about sexism, they would have been laughed at and told to f* off. Because: women.

Yeah I noticed this too. I was from my mother’s womb untimely ripped, Dave!

Yes, I watched his show, lots of talk of bitches.

Do you think the theatre cancelled the show because of sexism? Did women say this made them feel unsafe? I don't think so.

I meant women.

That’s a lazy everyday reading comprehension fail right there from @Clovefeld . Unless it is because he’s bald? Hair impaired I suppose, I’m sure it’s a thing somewhere.

The TRA petition on change.org mentioned in some of the news reports managed to get a whole 128 signatures (after being mentioned in loads of papers) although it only had around 120 when the theatre took it seriously.

Wish all it took was 128 signatures to get anyone to listen to women.

I wonder how safe it is to go to see one of his shows, as a woman. Can’t help wondering if they’ll be protests outside, ridiculous as it sounds.

So you couldn't be bothered to read the link in the op but you were comfortable to accuse people of racism without checking that your accusations were correct? I wonder how often you just jump on bandwagons without knowing the full facts of what you're talking about?

Are you white?

Do you think us people of colour are helped in any way whatsoever by people like you?

Bit weird how he’s getting props on here just for saying the ‘right’ mantra about gender when the rest of his act he’ll be referring to us as bitches and ho’s.

Clove, what are you on? It isn't racist to say that a black person is black!
Do the BBC have to say that he is black for it to be true?
A venue touting diversity just cancelled a black man's sell out show.
That should send tongues wagging!

TRAs do this.

If you support women’s rights they tell you you’re transphobic. When that doesn’t work they start shouting about racism (despite TRAs own dubious relationship with race issues). They tell people they are homophobic if they won’t defend ‘male lesbians’, and if you’re against conversion therapy of LGB they claim this means you support conversion therapy. If they wave their dicks in your face they tell you not to stare at genitals.

Anything to detract attention away from their own sordid, bullying, narcissistic behaviour.

If it isn't being black, how was this comedian diverse?

Maybe cos he's bald?

I think Clover is attempting to paint posters on the FWR board as racist which anyone reading this thread can see that's not the case.

There's nothing in the statement about his skin colour, posters here just doing what they always do when there's a black person who has GC views, using their skin colour as a sign of victimisation

They mentioned his diversity. If it isn't being black, how was this comedian diverse?
