Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "Joe Rogan and the Ethics of Apology (Episode #273)" video.
At 9:03 into your vocast, I think you shine through on your comment about the 'N' word like the sun coming up after a sand storm. Everything should be able to be discussed where free speech is being touted as the national pride of a country. To hear that even mentioning the 'N' word in America is now causing a white-hot White House spokesperson, blowtorch response is a red flag, because it's glaring hypocrisy at its most ugly. Why do I say this? Because I don't believe anyone beating their gums to this war dance believes a single word they are saying about the 'N' word or anything related to racism. America is not a racist country and all this talk that it is makes no sense. To start telling people or correcting people for saying words that admittedly could mean hurtful things, but need to be used in open dialogue is like pulling down all the monuments in your country because now those people on horseback are looked at as racist or on the wrong side of the political aisle when what they were was the sign of the times when their statues were made. There are always exceptions to the rule, but I was so happy in neighboring France when President Macron made it a law that nothing from the past in the form of a monument, relief, plaque or sculpture could be torn down. It must be living hell to see what used to be the most open-minded society on Earth become over-run by blowhards only doing what they know how to do to create empty rhetoric that stirs up the talking heads of the new world of public correctness that American culture has evolved itself into. But thanks to you Sam, and your friend Joe Rogan, free speech is making a healthy comeback in America.
