Keep giving them ground and they will only take more.

Chapelle has been brilliant over the past couple of years.

He got screwed out of the rights to his “Chapelle Show” which was shown on Comedy Central for years after he quit it.

His way of handling it was to go his fans and request they boycott him. “Don’t boycott the network, boycott me”. As the ratings for the show dropped drastically, the Network renegotiated with him to the tune of millions of dollars.

“Some of the students at the school organized a protest “

Sure they did.

So the theater stopped a black man from speaking his mind.

How very tolerant of them.

I read a comment that said that the owners of the theater think that Dave Chappelle is only 3/5ths a person by banning him.

Why can’t these folks understand it’s simply a room full of blue haired fat white girls or bitter black women or gender dysphoria types manning a bot army 10,000 times their strength

They almost always fold

Leftists and neocons always project on others what they do

We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression, but in honoring that, we lost sight of the impact this would have.

"The impact this would have" is a nice euphemism for "the riot somebody might cause." If threats work, threats will be the new normal.

“The First Avenue team and you have worked hard to make our venues the safest spaces in the country,

Awww…Snowflake Theater.

Kudos to the Varsity Theater for picking up Chapelle’s show and not being Nazis like the First Avenue idiots.

So a couple angry trannies dictate what the fans of one of the most popular and successful comedians in American history get to see??? I can’t wait for the reckoning against these losers. Hopefully it happens in my lifetime.

well, at least everyone now knows that First Avenue is a woke-only venue, so shouldn’t expect anything funny or entertaining from any of the woke-acts they might book ...

“We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression..., but not really.

We’re not just a black box; we’re a black hole.
