At some point, this country is going to have to reckon with the fact that a lot of white people *like* listening to racist, misogynist dickheads telling them what they want to hear.
Like, the problem is not really the racist, misogynist dickhead. The problem is THEIR AUDIENCE.

For people who fawn over the founding fathers, these dudes seem awfully uncomfortable with “that guy said some shit I don’t like so I’m making a big deal about it”.

At least none of us want to shoot the guy. https://t.co/exgNRBmUV5

For the love of God, please stop with the “but he has black friends” defense. It means you’ve never grappled with the complexity of race. Stop it. Please. Maybe Rogan isn’t racist. But that defense doesn’t help us answer that. FYI: One of Dylann Roof’s best friends was black. https://t.co/PSUfjFRDjm

Discouraging vaccination with inaccurate info & white people using the n-word both bother many people.
You can think they're wrong to be bothered, or dislike how they're expressing it. But you can stop searching for a hidden alternate motive. Those things really do bother people.
