Well, I’ll give him props for standing his ground with his comedic material, a lot of other people would’ve buckled under the backlash already. Agreeing with his comedy or not, it is kinda refreshing to see in a way, also a little edgelordy and annoying. Dave somehow strikes that middle road of refreshing and annoying quite often lol. 

Honestly yeah, apologising would murder his career since he already lost many of the left regardless. Atleast now he still has a fanbase on the other side.

Did anybody that’s criticizing him on here watch his special? His whole point was that he can make jokes and clown black people and basically say whatever about black people, but the MOMENT a joke is made about the LGBTQ+ community, his whole career could be over. It’s ok to joke on black people but not LGBTQ+. There was a message behind the jokes and his message stands true. 

Wait, so you mean, me, a person who isn't black, can make fun of black people?! Just roast black people for the sake of comedy? Okay then 

Let's see how fast I get cancelled then.

I stand with Dave. You hypersensitive folks that never get off pop forums and twitter can stay pressed.

Obviously you guys missed the last part of his special when he called out the trans community for being hypocrites and causing a fellow trans, his friend Daphne to take her own life after sticking up for him. You guys are proving him right then as he stated that Daphne appreciated that she was treated the same as everyone else yet you guys want to make this a transgender exclusive club. 
 

Base on the responses here I get the vibe that you are making it “well he’s not us” okay what happened to being an open and inviting community? I hate that LGBTQ makes themselves into this exclusive club and being a Regina George of “you can’t sit with us” from this whole discussion. No one cared that Asians are always looked down yet everyone else likes to remind everyone of how much they endured like slavery and discrimination yet Asians been through it too and I’m grateful he called out his own people for the hate crimes against Asians as we rarely get that acknowledgment. I agree with him that y’all ain’t the same fighters as stonewall. It’s just a joke and he explained himself just like Daphne was able to laugh at herself yet you guys can’t? I laugh at myself and call myself out for my “asian ness” like driving badly yet you guys get butt hurt like he’s taking you to concentration camp.

Can someone quote him from his special? I’ve rewatched it 3 times and I still can’t find where he is PUNCHING DOWN on LGBTQ. The point he is making is he is drawing a DIRECT comparison to how we ACCEPT the treatment of black people but we will CANCEL anyone that dares to tread on the LGBTQ community. He has no need to apologize because he didn’t say anything wrong. DaBaby literally killed a black man in Walmart and he got away with it, it’s PUBLIC knowledge. Yet he makes an offensive comment on stage about sucking **** and he gets SHUT DOWN.

yup. So true. Just like Da Baby killing a man who happened to be black, no one cancelled him, he said smthg homophobic he gets cancelled. Fake wokes

Yeah did that have anything with the guy being black?

His tirade against lil nas x and aids had everything to do with homophobia.

You sound like those conservatives that quote the statistics "75% of gun homicide crimes are black on black"

Learn something about context and nuances before drawing false equivalences.

Why do people think that the LGBTQ community is separate from the black community?

Watch his special. He has absolutely nothing to apologize for. If you miss the point, it’s on you.

You misunderstood everything. DaBaby said something homophobic i didnt say he didn't. 

I also said people didn't cancel him when DaBaby killed a black man with his gun, but they cancelled when he said something homophobic.
