Yes. That’s what it is. We own the Libs because they have become addicted with politics in expense for their health. Everything he/she has said about Libs being the party of racism is 100% true. Each and every fact. And you vote for them so that confirms your attitude towards race. Everything else is lip service in an effort to redeem your sins. Calling Conservatives racist makes you feel like you’re going to a better place but it’s all a myth. The facts have been laid out. Cowards project their feelings on others. Intelligent people try to rebuke them. We could be here forever waiting for you to rebuke them. Won’t happen. Can’t happen. You probably voted for Byrd
I don’t think any side is clean of racism. I know a lot of very racist conservatives, and I know a lot of very racist liberals. You are also a major Moran if you are trying to imply that the conservatives are the true anti racists.
The fact that this thread has turned into left vs right instead of “is Joe Rogan racist or not” really goes to show how everyone needs to make literally everything about politics.
Joe used the N word while quoting other people some time ago. The N word isn’t “just a word”, it is racist by nature. It’s a word that was literally made to put down black people. It is by definition demeaning and in modern day serves to antagonize, which both fit under the accepted definition of racism.
What I do find in some conservatives that I haven’t seen in any liberals, is this attitude of “N word funny hehe” and they find it comedic to use it amongst themselves. Even if not used in a racist context, It’s incredibly disrespectful and insensitive. I’m not trying to be a white knight here, I definitely really enjoy dark humor and joking about sensitive things, but that doesn’t make it okay.
The whole planet of the apes thing is blatantly racist. Black people being compared to monkeys is a very obviously racist stereotype and I don’t think there is any getting around that.
The Bottom Line:
Joe Rogan shouldn’t be deplatformed, nor should just about anyone else, but it doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be called out for bad behavior. Too many people are too willing to worship idiots like him just because they are self proclaimed sigma or alpha or whatever stupid thing. The majority of these people are borderline incels who simply choose to live in a fantasy where they are a badass that gets all of the money and women, and are tough as stone, when once again they are borderline if not just straight up incels. Taking care to not offend others isn’t weak or beta or soft, it’s just being a decent human being
I agree with you, sir, and thank you for taking a reasoned and thoughtful view on the subject, and sharing it here.
