an open letter to Dave Chapelle

If I discuss how my feelings were hurt, you won't give a fuck. Indeed, like many comedians, including great ones like yourself, you can not afford to give a fuck, because when you do, you stop having any use. With that out of the way, you might want to look and see who these people are that you have embraced.

Remember when you went to Africa, when you left 50 million on the table? Remember a certain network that did nothing but DEMONIZE you?

Remember how they demonized your fellow Muslims?, and used the hate against YOU to hurt them?

Remember how they called you hateful?, how they threatened to do something a hell of a lot stronger than boycott your stuff (and don't act like do not know what I am saying.)

I will give you a hint, a lot of them are at Fox News network, now all of a sudden singing the praises of someone they were trying to get killed or jailed. You talk about George Floyd, well, why are you eager to make allies with the people who cheered what happened, and who would proudly put Derek Chauvin back on the job.

It is one thing to say you are "team terf" though frankly, you know that giving cover to them IS the same bit of comforting the same white woman and their dudes who see you and all black people as (that word that need not be said.) It is the same games, and you know that the very people who champion you now will be the first to finish you off if a trump wins, gladly remembering any time you mildly offended them.

I am not cancelling you, unless by that you mean that I have a right not to buy whatever you sell, the same way I don't buy what Rowling sells. You will have a big damn megaphone as the very people who would gladly add you to the list of dead black men throw money at you, more than many people get, especially Geroge Floyd, whose murders you are aiding and abetting over at Fox News.

The Devil always offers what looks like a good deal, but watch that fine print. Amnd do not be surprised if many black and brown people see you being attacked by your new friends and leave you behind, namely because we will be too busy running from all those people who insist they are not racist as they try to run nooses round our necks.
