I don't care what Dave Chappelle said. I don't care whether you found it offensive, insensitive, tasteless or downright reprehensible. You have every right to criticize him. Condemn his words. Challenge his arguments. Ridicule his opinions. Tell him exactly what you think. That's called free expression. And it works both ways. But this business of demanding that someone be silenced, fired, blacklisted or professionally destroyed because you don't like what they said must stop. And for God's sake, STOP CALLING THEIR ADVERTISERS! What is this obsession with economic assassination? You hear something offensive and immediately organize a campaign to pressure sponsors, venues, networks and employers into cutting someone off financially. That's not debate. That's coercion masquerading as moral virtue. You don't have to buy a ticket. You don't have to watch his specials. You don't have to laugh at his jokes. You can publicly explain why you find his material appalling. But why must everyone else be deprived of the opportunity to decide for themselves? And understand something else. The same machinery you enthusiastically deploy against people you despise will eventually be deployed against people you admire. That's the delicious irony of censorship campaigns. Everyone believes they're immune until they're next. Comedy is supposed to provoke. Satire is supposed to sting. Free expression means protecting speech you find offensive, not merely applauding speech you approve of. Stop demanding professional executions over hurt feelings. **Don't cancel Dave Chappelle.
