All gays are fakkits, but not all blacks are ******s.

How is it not a double standard?

YOU personally think all gays are fakkits, but they don't think of themselves as fakkits. Meanwhile some racist cracker thinks all black people are ******s, and you don't. At the end of the day they're just words, but obviously those particular words are read in a certain way by different people.

The reason for censorship in this case is offense, not about who's right about which definition. Personally I'd let everybody use whatever words they want on TV to a point, but this is not how public companies operate.

His argument is "I'm not a ******, but I can still say that on TV, why not fakkit?" so it follows that everybody should be able to use every disparaging insult about every group they aren't a part of.

I'm not even saying I care, its funny when Dave says fakkit. But the logic of that joke isn't there.

Actually debate the point if you think I'm wrong.

You're right, but a lot of jokes aren't meant to be scrutinized. It's like Chris Rock's famous "for white people the sky's the limit, for black people the limit's the sky" joke - it doesn't make sense but it gets the point across that black people aren't treated the same.

His point was that he was getting away with unlimited nikka's but not one fakkit, which is wrong exactly for what you're saying and means the person he was talking to saw him as a nikka but didn't see a gay person as a fakkit.

Transgender actress, activist and comedienne Daphne Dorman, referenced in Dave Chappelle’s ‘transphobic’ Netflix special, commits suicide

Daphne Dorman, a San Francisco-based comedienne, actress and transgender activist has died by suicide, the Office of Transgender Initiatives for the City & County of San Francisco confirmed to the Daily News.

Dorman was at the center of controversy recently after she was referenced by Dave Chappelle in a stand-up special that some people called transphobic. Dorman, however, “was laughing the hardest” at the trans jokes in his practice set, the comedian said.


Hours before news of her passing started to circulate online, Dorman posted what appears to be a goodbye message on Facebook Friday saying she was “sorry.”

“I’ve thought about this a lot before this morning. How do you say “goodbye” and “I’m sorry” and “I love you” to all the beautiful souls you know? For the last time,” Dorman started.



“To those of you who are mad at me: please forgive me. To those of you who wonder if you failed me: you didn’t. To those of you feel like I failed you: I did and I’m sorry and I hope you’ll remember me in better times and better light,” she continued, before ending with an apology:

“I love you all. I’m sorry. Please help my daughter, Naia, understand that none of this is her fault. Please remind her that I loved her with every fiber of my being,” the emotional note ends.

Besides a growing career in show business, the Philadelphia native was also an accomplished software engineer, who as recently as August 2019, held a senior position at Vineti, a software automation and analytics platform for cell and gene therapies, according to her LinkedIn bio.

Dorman was cited by Dave Chappelle in his special “Sticks and Stones.”

The Netflix show, which premiered on Aug. 26, was slammed as offensive by many critics for the comedian’s “obsession with making fun of trans people.”

Its humor, however, was praised by some conservative outlets, such as Breitbart and The Federalist.

In a “hidden extra” of the Netflix special, Chappelle talked about becoming friends with a transgender woman who was “laughing the hardest” at the transphobic jokes.

Dorman promptly confirmed that she was the person Chappelle was referring to, even changing her Twitter bio to reflect it:

“Yep, I’m the Daphne that Dave Chappelle is talking about in Sticks and Stones,” she wrote, adding “Actress. Activist. Author. Advocate. Amazon."

According to a recent résumé posted online, Dorman explained her philosophy with the following quote: “If you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, maybe it’s because you’re the light at the end of someone else’s.”

San Francisco’s office of transgender initiatives, a city office that advances policies, programs and equity that support the transgender and the gender-nonconforming communities is urging anybody affected by the tragedy to look for help, if they need it.

“To our TGNC community, we love you,” TransCitySF said in a statement, which was posted on Twitter. “We are saddened to learn about of loss of Daphne Dorman today who was a beloved community member.”

People who need to speak with somebody about the traumatic experience should contact Trans Lifeline, a peer support crisis hotline for transgender folks at 877-565-8860 or reach out to Trans:Thrive.
