(8,298 posts)I am no prude. I can laugh at offensive jokes. But these guys are just not funny at all. Rogan relocated to TX to open his comedy club to get away from CA wokism.
I am glad some of these other comedians are speaking out though. Hopefully, more people see them for their grift and the clowns that they are.

Rogan - also speaking up for people of Palestine

After leading their followers to vote for trump, now that trump is a disaster, Palestine is now the trendy thing for the bros.

(38,109 posts)Rogan has so far paid no steep professional price for using a racial slur thats been called the nuclear bomb of racial epithets. It may even boost his career. Thats what some say happened to another White entertainer who was recently caught using the word.
It is a sign of how desensitized we have become to the rising levels of violence rhetorical and physical in our country that Rogans slurs were largely treated as the latest racial outrage of the week.
But once we allow a White public figure to repeatedly use the foulest racial epithet in the English language without experiencing any form of punishment, we become a different country.
I don't accept the fucker's apology.
The 'imperial me' says I can throw him away like the gutter rat garbage he is.
