Dave Chappelle condemns Democrats rejection of free speech

I'm not a big fan of modern comics because they use filthy language and make obscene jokes.

But David Chappelle spoke truth to power when he said:

"(I) don't get mad at 'em, don't hate on 'em," he said while discussing comedians he knows to be racist. "Man, it's not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the First one doesn't work out."

The reality is that Democrats are working hard to redefine the 1st Amendment to exclude any speech they don't like. They label any advocacy for positions that they oppose as "hate" speech and say, contrafactually, that "hate" speech isn't protected by the 1st Amendment.

We know that's not the intent of the 1st Amendment because no one ever said that Democrats defending slavery didn't have the right to speak their odious beliefs.

Dave's comment on the 2nd Amendment is even more telling.  He's saying that it's the people, not the government, who run this country and as such if the government violates the law, by for example silencing people it doesn't like, then the people have the right to use force to reassert their sovereignty.

It'll be interesting to see how viciously Democrats attack Chappelle for this.  After all Democrats always vilify any Black, like say Justice Thomas, who dares step off the Democrats intellectual plantation.

Look at the things Democrats are saying about Kanye; if a Republican ever said anything like that about any Black the Democrats would call for his immediate imprisonment.
