That sucks, I was enjoying watching them fail at canceling Joe Rogan.

I'm sure I'm one of many who have absolutely no problem with whites saying the word, nigger, even in the industry. I am not sure this alone will warrant a cencellation in due course, but of course Spotify has to look after its customer base, many of whom are black. Blacks buy a ton of music and music streaming. What got me was the story Rogan told of driving into a predominantly black neighborhood, having to get out of the car and realizing he was in the Planet of the Apes, and continuing to joke about it. That's fucked-up. It was also India Arie's first example when she cancelled Spotify. He is after all a commedian and many of his black colleagues probably haven't been too worried about him saying nigger, but the Planet of the Apes? Ouch.

Regardless of how I feel, people are sensitive about that word, and prone to getting offended. Probably not that smart to say it on camera where it can be taken out of context.

The Planet of the Apes shit, yeah, there isn't really anything I can say to defend that.

I'll say this. I think Joe Rogan is a comedian with terrible fucking judgement. Joe doesn't strike me as a bigot though, although I guess I could be wrong. I am also fairly certain that Whoopi Goldberg is not a bigot, and doesn't hate Jews at all, but she does have terrible fucking judgement. In general, this cancelling shit has gone way too far. Theres a big difference between being a racist and being un-PC or just an idiot.

Whoopi was attacking White people and ended up accidentally insulting her Jewish masters. You don't mention that at all. You.only care when White people are "racist" because you're just part of preventing White people from racial advocacy.

I think you are misunderstanding me. I was saying that the woke mobs coming for Joe Rogan are similar to the woke mobs now turning on Whoopi Goldberg, and that both are ridiculous examples of cancel culture.

The points I made about Joe Rogan don't have anything to do with me wanting to prevent white racial advocacy, I was simply saying his judgement was not very good because he walked right into wokist cancellation. Even Eminem was smart enough not to use language like that in his lyrics - it would have been career suicide. Using racial slurs doesn't 'advocate' for white people, it just opens you up to being painted as a bigot by the MSM.
