Except he isn't.
Nice try, tho

Nice try, though.

When did I comment on race? Seems to me you're the racist if you're attaching a certain race to my words. Sounds like a you problem

Gotta agree with Pound on this one.

If you hate democracy so much TC maybe you should try tyranny instead. It would be more in line with your reasoning.

Democracy: people vote to decide.
Tyranny: people have no say in the decision.

I'm sure there's some nuance to this whole thing, but it's still a bad look

guys on the radio were talking about this incident this morning. apparently, the "affordable housing" part is only 1.7 acres of the proposed 57 acre project. Chappelle and others are protesting against the entire project, yet every article I've stumbled across paints this as "Dave Chapelle hates affordable housing". if that's accurate, it seems sorta dishonest for the majority of media outlets to be framing this the way they are.

My understanding is that the area is going to be developed either way, this vote was over whether or not to include affordable housing in that development. Since it failed the vote, the originally planned housing will be built there.
