ChudTheBuilder says activists targeted his income
According to the PrimeTimer, Dalton Eatherly, aka ChudTheBuilder, launched a GiveSendGo fundraiser with a goal of raising $100,000 to support his family.In the description attached to the campaign, Eatherly alleged that activists had targeted his livelihood and online career because of the content he posts on social media.
He wrote, "Just over one year ago, I started DLE Contracting in Clarksville, TN, out of sheer necessity. I was fired from my previous contracting job after BLM activists targeted me over words I shared online-jokes and opinions they twisted to end my career. With no other way to support my family and my precious 2-year-old son, I poured everything into this small business, working tirelessly to provide for my family and build a future. But now, that dream is under attack. Not for the quality of my work, but for what I say."
"I've shared mild jokes, unfiltered thoughts, and yes, sometimes I've used the N-word in what I thought was edgy, harmless humor. I know it's controversial, but it's my right to speak freely. For that, hundreds of people in my city are slandering my business, spreading lies to tear down everything I've worked for. The hate has escalated to a horrifying level: I've received death threats so vile they shake me to my core," he added.
Further in the fundraiser message, Eatherly alleged that he had been receiving threats of violence, including threats to sexually assault and kill him. He also appealed to his supporters for donations, saying that the money would help cover his day-to-day expenses and may be a support to his family.
