The whole Jon Stewart thing still boggles my mind. Just like Chapelle, he’s seemingly gotten more conservative and out of touch with age and being away from comedy. It’s like they came back and the world moved on, but they insist it’s not them.
No. The reason there were so many clips of him doing it is that every time someone would get in trouble for saying it in that meta way, he would make a point of saying the n-word with a hard r on his show to basically say that usage is fine. He did it as recently as 2018. So when he says it was “years ago”, that…
I’m frankly shocked that an Italian guy from Newark, NJ would use such language...
This is a great summation of the issue. No one owes Joe Rogan the benefit of the doubt in the first place, and absolutely doesn’t owe him any leniency after the “Planet of the Apes” comment or the comment about mixed-race people getting ‘the best of both worlds... a black mans body and a white womans brain’. …
I don’t think non-wrestling fans really care about his previous persona before movies. He’s good looking with a lot of charisma, mainly plays generically likeable or hero type characters, and likely became an expert at crafting PR from his WWE days. His seeming obsession with crafting the perfect image does make me…
However, Ek also made it clear that “silencing” Rogan was not an option and that “in order to achieve our goal of becoming the global audio platform, these kinds of disputes will be inevitable.”
He’s got sort of the blandest “yay for everyone” kind of brand going, like Coke or Chevron. I can’t imagine why he would then go out on a limb for Rogan, given that right now he’s such a radioactive topic. For someone who’s the celebrity equivalent of plain rice, it’s a weird move.
He seems to exist in this weird limbo where he’s convinced everyone that he secretly supports what they support without ever being so explicit.
Given that the league’s remaining active Black head coach is with the team owned by the Rooney family, it may be that not all of the eponymous rule’s proponents were offering it in bad faith. That said, the results speak for the league overall.
A modern plantation system that doesn’t let black people get ahead? NO WAI!
I have always felt that front office positions are more important than coaching hires because that is where the organization can take shape & that is where you can begin to bring a diverse staff. The Rooney Rule was patronization at it’s best because there never was any incentive to hire not just a black coach but…
But you can’t blame them for owning the holocaust as a means of respecting and protecting the memory of Jews who perished - even at the expense of other victims of that evil like the gypsies, communists and mixed race Germans; My thing is that Black people are not allowed to “own” our history and define it as…
They all about solidarity until they get what they want, then solidarity gets forgotten.
This is an important point (and one that I was going to make, but thought was too provocative/incendiary to write).
Very often, when someone points out that Jews were not the only victim of the Holocaust, that person will (rightfully, in many cases) be criticized for belittling the horror and tragedy that befell six…
Who you calling a moron, you blinkered reprobate? As the fucking group of people who are the main source of friction between races, white people don’t get to act like experts about “building coalitions”.
This is my biggest problem with The View: It’s a bunch of people riffing on topics they barely have a superficial understanding of. If The View is going to be classified as a news program, I would hope the hosts would be a little more informed than the average Redditor.
Wow, that’s brutal, especially given Whoopi Goldberg’s history of fiercely defending the Jewish community in all things, including blindly supporting Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
White people do not get to claim to be oppressed, especially based on their race. I’ll gatekeep that all day long.
Flores will never coach again
