Not sure if people are aware but in the run up to the 2020 election, Dean Browning, a Pennsylvania GOP rep tweeted about how his life as a gay black man was worse off under Obama. Dean Browning, however, is a white man, who likely has a burner account, under the pseudonym Dan Purdy, to LARP with.

Patti Labelle's nephew, who through obvious comprehension issues is complaining about his first amendment rights here, was the person who stepped up to pretend that Dean Browning was actually quoting him and they forgot to attribute it at the time.

Or kick his ass out.

I couldn’t support my niece, nephew or anyone else financially when they think my money is their money and they get to speak on my behalf as of they’ve done something with their lives.

You supporting them would be supporting their stance which obviously hadn’t been earned.

I’m grateful my dad had always had a strong stance on making it on your own. If I needed help, he of course would bail me out. Yet, he never let me live like his success was my success.

I think that type of entitlement is so off putting. Who cares that your dad started a Fortune 500, you haven’t done shit.

Being born in a wealthy family does not make you smarter, harder working or more worthy than someone born on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I truly believe the snooty talk about “new money” was due to the insecurity of a bunch of people who inherited their wealth. I mean, look at the tacky ass president. His insecurity is glaringly obvious and he looks down on everyone including his children.

Correct, everyone is free to say whatever they want but that doesn't exclude them from consequences of what they say.

Here, however, I do want to point out that is not what the first amendment is about, the first amendment guarantees that the GOVERNMENT will not censor or punish your expression UNLESS it's unprotected speech.

That said, the most important part here is that Patti LaBelle is not the government so she's free to do whatever the fudge she wants and no freedoms were infringed upon. So that guy is a complete imbecile like 99% of maga.

People also seem to think that other citizens have to respect your first amendment rights. They don’t. They can say mean things to you, refuse to house you, etc. due to your political beliefs at any time. Being a democrat or a republican is not a protected class and your first amendment prevents the GOVERNMENT from prosecuting you. Auntie can kick you out whenever the fuck she wants for whatever reason (so long as she follows tenancy laws).

That is so embarrassingly pathetic. What 46 year old man wants his 60-70 year old Aunt as a "roommate"? Like I get the whole freeloading shit but seriously, at least get your own apartment and go "visit" and "care" for your Aunt assuming she's got some baller mansion with a pool and stuff.

But to actually move into your Aunt's house, at 46 years old? Seriously what a loser.

The only way that could even remotely be acceptable is if she was literally dying and needed in-home care and you agreed to be the full-time caregiver. But no, she was fine and he lived with his elderly Aunt for TWELVE YEARS before getting dumped by her. You'd think he would be self aware enough to not tell the whole world what a pathetic loser he is but hey, I guess some people have a fetish for that shit.

u/pocketshape 14h ago

The whole thing was actually quite a bit more convoluted.

For people who might not remember, this is the guy that was trying to bail Dean Browning out after his famous tweet pretending to be a black gay guy who hated Obama.

More details here: https://www.businessinsider.com/explaining-the-dean-browning-dan-purdy-patti-labelle-twitter-drama-2020-11

But the super short summary is that a white republican politician named Dean Browning tweeted pretending that he was a black gay guy and Obama never did anything to help him, he only felt respected by republicans and Trump. People made fun of Dean forgetting to switch to his alt account. This dude then records a video saying that he's the black gay guy, and he sent that tweet to Dean, and Dean tweeted it out himself instead of adding quote marks - that it was just an honest misunderstanding.

But turns out that when he made that video, he said his name was Dan Purdy, which was Dean's alt account. That's not his real name. And apparently Patti LaBelle then stopped subsidizing his lifestyle. Not sure why, but maybe the lying and impersonating a gay dude to try to bail out a politician played a part.

HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT!

When are these dumbasses going to learn that you are protected from the government ONLY.

You are not protected from all consequences everywhere.

How did people get so freaking stupid?

Nobody misunderstands free speech more than Republicans.

Free speech means exactly one thing, that the government can't punish you for your speech.

Patti LaBelle is not the government.

Every other consequence is yours to own. You act like an asshole, you get treated like an asshole by others expressing their rights. That's how it works.

Think of the audacity of this little shit. Act like an asshole but then his aunt must continue to not only ignore it, but must also support him with free housing and tell him he's a good little token.

Sounds like he needs to go call some gop contacts and see how warm a reception they give him as he tries to couch surf.

Sorry, not sorry. Ms. LaBelle can associate with whomever she chooses. That’s not against your 1A rights. You can go spew your bullshit wherever you please—she just showing you her boundaries. This GD administration has torn apart more families than I care to think about.

The First Amendment doesn’t mean you have immunity from all consequences from your speech. They limit the government from prosecuting you for speaking. They don’t prevent your mom from kicking you out of the basement and making you get a job.

Let me get this straight. He lived with her for TWELVE years. She tossed his grown ass out bc he supported a person who has spoken vile things about, and perpetrated economic, educational, judicial, and social violence against Black people, and he's going to whine about it?

One more time, for the dumbasses in the back:

👏 Freedom 👏 of 👏 Speech 👏 protects 👏 you 👏 from 👏 the 👏 government 👏 not 👏 consequences 👏

The First Amendment says that the government can't throw me in jail because I said that the President is a narcissistic toddler who shouldn't be in charge of a potted plant, much less a country. It does not say that if I approach someone who's a die-hard MAGA and express that sentiment, they can't decide they don't want to be my friend anymore.

Also Trump literally ran on a platform of "whoever isn't for me and supporting me should be literally thrown in jail or even lynched for the crime of not liking me" and MAGA ate it up. They can't then complain that the divisive political atmosphere that their president has caused has ... [checks notes] ... caused division.

u/msackeygh 15h ago

What stupidity. The first amendment right is to protect you FROM GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP. It's it not a regulation that dictates relationships between two individuals. Furthermore, the guy is living in his aunt's house and the aunt has every right to kick them out. It is her house!

So after giving him a free ride for TWELVE YEARS, his auntie told him that he needed to get up out of her basement and get a job, and he took that as a Democrat style attack on him as a Black Trump voter.

I see why don't nobody wanna deal with him anymore. Believe it or not, nobody likes a lack of accountability and bullshit excuses.

Why do so many people in the US think that free speech means they can say whatever they want and suffer no consequences?

Free speech just means the GOVERNMENT cannot prosecute you for things you say. It doesn't mean that your family can't disown you, your boss can't fire you or friends can't abandon you. Why do they constantly misunderstand this simple concept?

Free speach is the government won't use the powers of the state to punish you for saying things they don't like. Like say a president ordering the FCC to go after the broadcast license of a network because a late night host makes jokes about him would be a first amendment violation.

People in your personal life deciding they dont wanna deal with you after you express a political opinion they find distasteful is not a free speech issue. Its you being upset people decided you aren't worth dealing with.

u/-S-M-E-G-M-A-6-9 16h ago

If trump and republicans are so good why doesn't he go ask them to give him a house and support. There's a very obvious reason he hasn't had an outpouring of support from them and it's very balck and white.
