I'm not joking.
Yup, just a normal day in the circus.
Here's the headline now:
Yeah…
Have a bag ready for this next part in case you need to hurl:
The podcaster Joe Rogan did not join a mob that forced lawmakers to flee for their lives. He never carried a Confederate flag inside the US Capitol rotunda. No one died trying to stop him from using the n-word.
But what Rogan and those that defend him have done since video clips of him using the n-word surfaced on social media is arguably just as dangerous as what a mob did when they stormed the US Capitol on January 6 last year.
Rogan breached a civic norm that has held America together since World War II. It's an unspoken agreement that we would never return to the kind of country we used to be.
That agreement revolved around this simple rule:
A White person would never be able to publicly use the n-word again and not pay a price.
Clowns are gonna clown! First, comparing the use of the N-word to the January 6 riot, which CNN thinks is the worst event in human history, must also make President Joe Biden a seditious insurrectionist, since he's quoted the word…
Second, I suppose CNN will be writing follow ups on THE MANY elites who have used the N-word on screen or stage, from Quentin Tarantino to Leonardo DiCaprio to Gary Oldman to Louis CK.
[Do I really need a language warning here?]
And let's not forget Paul Dano, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, and Sarah Paulson—just a few of the white people who deployed that word with liberality in "12 Years a Slave."
Nope! Definitely no cult classic like "Pulp Fiction" has ever been made that casually and liberally used that word!!
Remember, it's been the unspoken rule in Hollywood and America since WWII!! 🤡
