Granderson: What Dave Chappelle keeps getting wrong (via latimesopinion)
the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to the principles of nonviolence and organized the March on Washington, they would see how nonsensical Chappelle’s us-versus-them brand of humor really is.During the “Selma” episode of “We’re Here,” one of the hosts, Bob the Drag Queen, broke down in tears as he spoke with Bloody Sunday survivors. Surprisingly Bob, who is Black, didn’t have a problem connecting to their stories because he is gay.
“I’ve been … to a lot of places growing up in the South, growing up where I heard people from that generation saying disparaging things about queer people. But I also realize that’s not how everyone thinks. My trauma response, protecting myself, is to shy away from that or diminish that part of myself because history showed me if I don’t diminish myself, it will be diminished for me.”To grow up in the closet is to grow up as someone else.

His body was tied to a barbed wire fence. His skull fractured, face covered in blood except for the places his tears ran. Times are different than they were in 1998, but the threat of dying solely for being LGBTQ is not.at least 38 transgender and nongender-conforming people have been killed this year so far.
