    Why are people allergic to the idea that bad people can say good and correct things too

        Why is quoting a good thing they said somehow interpreted as rewriting history, especially when it’s actually true that they said it? That’s almost by definition, not “rewriting” history

          It can be taken as an endorsement of his other views too and I’m sure there’s plenty of people that aren’t shit had bigots that have had a similar realization about the vulnerability of women.

              No I fucking don’t, fuck Dave Chappelle, he’s transphobic piece of bigot shit, his Clayton Bigsby ass brought a fucking nazi on stage, he doesn’t deserve anything but fucking derision.

                There we go, that’s the issue. People nowadays completely lost the plot, will downright make up crimes and get angry at them at this point.

                You can’t see what this implies long-term.

                It won’t take away from anything bad he did if you did talk about the good.

                  I mean he literally had Elon Musk come on stage and mocked the crowd for booing him.

                  I agree that he had good takes in the past and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the OOP here, but the person you’re replying to isn’t inventing anything either. Old school Dave Chappelle was based and funny. Current Dave Chappelle is a piece of shit. I think both of those things are OK to acknowledge.
