Black Beast: First of all Joe, I wanna give a shout out to my boy Caesar and Maurice
 
Are people just waking up now to the fact that Rogan is a seriously racist towards black people? For the most part I'd say it's, superficially speaking, a benign or preferential racism he shows towards black people (mostly men/black male athletes).

He assumes that black men are the better fighters and very little can convince him otherwise, and if his sensibilities get offended by a white slob like Big Country KO'ing a black Adonis like Chiek Kongo he uses his humour to deflect attention from what transpired (a superior fighter defeating an inferior one).

Rogan basically gives black athletes all the credit in the world for their physical attributes and athletic superiority, but by doing so he implicitly discredits them as well. By Rogan's comments it's easy to mostly accredit black athletes' success to genetics as opposed to hard work.

Joe kind of plays up the stereotypes of black athletes being all athleticism and explosiveness, who either don't have or don't require "IQ" and the cerebral aspects of the game. His comments in a past podcast about the ultimate human having the body of a black man and the mind of a white man sums all of this up well. Woodley was ahead of the curve.

But no, I don't expect any of this to affect his UFC career, and I'm not saying it should. I don't care what the reason is, if I get to hear a lot less of Rogan commentating UFC I'll be happy.
 
Fuck rogan... but fuck the people who are trying to cancel him as well. It's so wack and an obvious attempt at character assassination. Cancel culture can piss off.
 
The dude went on camera and said the n-word a fuck load of times. That hasn't been acceptable for like 100 years. How the fuck is this "woke" or "cancel culture?"

What the actual fuck is wrong with you people?

So did Biden. He's president. Will they cancel him?

Also, did u listen to when he said those words? Most of em were him quoting others and/or talking about the word itself... Context matters, no?

And if we want to get to the heart of the issue. It's just a stupid word. The more you try to ban it the more power you give it.
 
Cancel Cormier and Felder next and UFC commentary might actually be listenable again!

It really doesn't matter, no. You can very easily talk about the n word without saying it. I just did it. Twice in fact. Same with quoting people. Claiming "context" is just a cop out for white guys who desperately want to say it (which is a shocking amount of guys).

He deliberately chose to say the most well known, offensive racial slur in the English language. How the fuck is anyone surprised that he got in shit for it? That isn't "woke" that is literally the absolute lowest bar possible lol

Sure, go for it. Wouldn't bother me. If he said it he deserves to get in shit too.

It’s true tho. Not sure Joe is smart enough to even realize it.

You clearly heard the mashup put together by some nerds who make the Sherdog basement dwellers look like Alphas.

He used it in reference to other people using it. Sure he should have said N-word when talking about the person who used the real word but it was a long time ago and it wasn’t like he was using it in normal conversation.

Lol. Of course context matters. It always has and always will. Words are just noises, a combination of vowels and consonants; without context. Caring about someone saying the awful meany meany word is childish, at best. Not to mention, it’s immature and weird to say “the n word.” Lol. You say Voldemort or nah?

Cancel culture, woke culture... whatever the fuck it is has become so goddamn stupid, it's affected movies, comedy and nearly everything else and I hope it dies sooner rather than later. Having said that I'd rather Joe not be commentating.
