Okay, Is The Young Turks Racist For This?

[Wildhundreds]

This the only Young Turk I fukk with

fukk these cacs off the strength

How black people trying hard to find solace in white people is really disturbing.. They really believe they can make white people accept them

 

[boriquaking]

There are black people who don't think whites should ever say it, no matter who theyre quoting... Or singing.

My guess is if there isn't a hard line, the word will eventually become normalized.

I don’t use the word at all and I don’t think the word should be used ever, but thats just a hit piece on liberal media. Maybe they should of had a black person reporting on those stories instead of that white woman. But its one thing to say shat you’re saying and its another to paint this narrative of the Young Turks being racist.

all that is to draw attention away from Joe Rogan, who DOES say racist shyt WITHOUT quoting anything or anyone.

and again if you wanna be mad at them thats cool but at the end of the day a real racist said the shyt they’re saying first and nobody got any heat for them. Twitter post doesn’t even acknowledge that.

I hate the Young Turks and other white Liberals like them. Yes, they are racist. Yes, they are full of shyt.

 

[Man On Fire]

Gotta keep it real, if Rogan was wrong what about this?
Sorry to make another thread, this my last thread for the weekend!!!
But wanted to get ya'll opinions on this
THIS IS NOT A DEFEND ROGAN THREAD
Rogan was 100% wrong for saying it that many times and his planet of the apes comment was worse than even this

Of course they are racist

 

[Tribal Outkast]

shyt reminds me of when this happened

 

[TallMan_J]

They’re not using the word, they’re quoting someone wtf

Shouldn't let that fukking word come out of their mouth. PERIOD! I don't give a fukk if it's Joe Rogan, The Young Turks, or fukking Bernie Sanders. Doesn't matter if they're reciting lyrics, or reading a fukking novel.


Some of you negroes are a bunch of shameful and hypocritical political pawns. Disgusting.


"It's okay if the right white person uses the word, as long as they are quoting someone else!"

If they say “N -word” the person who said the N word would just go back and say “i said (whatever random N word) not (the N word)”

if you want to isolate young turks again thats cool but thats silly because they’re not the only news outlet to have done that.

shyt reminds me of when this happened

They tried to hit NYC Mayor Eric Adams with a tape from 2 years ago calling white NYPD officers crackas

I’m like that shyt will get him even more support amongst black folk

PBA put out a statement basically saying they don’t want any smoke with Adams

I think you can quote the word, but if you're constantly quoting it AND not using that same energy to stand up for Black people

Like no reason to use it that much

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

you doing backflips cuz ur god under attack

I'm neither doing backflips nor is anyone my god

To be honest I think life is more complicated than calling him or TyT a racist, but I can still understand the perspective.
So a few things, firstly I made two threads with polls to see where everyone's stance is, but I voted on neither polls myself

The thing is the word racist to me means hatred of another race or having views of racial superiority.
I don't think either videos of Rogan or TyT using the N-Word is proof of racism, however Rogan's comments on the planet of the apes thing yes that can be labelled as racist.
But do I think people using the N word in the context that they did does not prove hatred.
His planet of the apes thing though yes

But just to add nuance things are more complicated than that, it's all in the usage of the N-Word.
I've seen black people call white people the n word as a term of endearment and of enmity, you probably have been witness to it too.
And also growing up i've been called the n-word myself. I got called either the n-word or sand-n-word.
So now we live in a world where brown people get called the n-word, some black people call white people the n-word either positively or negatively.

Regarding the post you screenshoted I honestly don't remember that, it was a post from 2016 but I will say ya I shouldn't have said it.

It's all in the usage of the word, but that's not for me to dictate at the end of the day, and that's why I myself did not vote on my own poll.
But I wanted to see everyone's stance, i'm guessing those that voted not racist in the apology thread were probably white ppl

 

[Paper Boi]

juelzing

you and joe rogan are one in the same.

you think you are entitled to say whatever you want and act whatever you want and give a fake apology later.

how about you fukking leave this site and go to joe rogan's reddit page or whatever. that's where you want to be, this place doesn't like you or want you here.

fukk off.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

This thread = “what about black on black on crime?”

And also, negged Apu. You’re on here spouting CAC talking points whilst your 7/11 is understaffed.

white people get a perverse pleasure from saying the word off rip

 

[JNew]

stopped watching them a few years ago. something always seemed...off.., now I know see.

are they racist, probably not. I just think white people get a sick pleasure from saying the n word and will be quick to say it any chance they can in a "safe" space, like quoting another person saying it.

 

[I Really Mean It]

The word is freighted with too much historical horror for anyone but black people to use it. There is no context in which its use by a non-black is acceptable. None. Zero. Nada.
