I've never heard of Chappelle until right before this controversy came about. Watching a minute or so of the clips that stirred up controversy, I think people are too sensitive. People really think that because of his horrible "jokes" it will inspire more violence towards trans people? I tend to think not.
Oh, I wasn't gonna be violent, but this Dave Chappelle dude's words gave me the encouragement to do it.
Give me a break. People that are violent and filled with hate are gonna be violent regardless of some horrible comedian.
As far as the walkout goes, I don't know how many employees feel this way, but it its a small amount, they should find another job where their sensitive feelings will be taking into account. Just show up for work, do your job (and keep quiet), collect a paycheck, and go home. It's what I do, it's what my parents did, its what most of my friends do as well.
Whats more important? Making a political/social statement or putting food on the table and paying bills? For me it's the latter.
