Joe Rogan The Sun Bay Paper Page 27 February 4, 2022 - February 10, 2022 Cont. from pg 26 EXPIRES FEB 28, 2022 word, after which cameras cut to a laughing Obama. And the president told a podcaster, "Racism, we are not cured of it. And it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say n----- in public." And then-Sen. Joe Biden, at a committee hearing, read out loud part of a memo that quoted racial slurs used by a Louisiana legislator, "We already have a n----- mayor (in New Orleans); we don't need any more n----- big shots." Now the senator was quoting someone, but didn't Rogan say no matter the context? Quentin Tarantino, the white filmmaker, used the N-word in many of his films, including "Pulp Fiction." Black filmmaker Spike Lee slammed Tarantino for doing so, while the characters in Lee's films say it in various ways and for various purposes. Never mind, according to actor Samuel L. Jackson, who frequently appears in Tarantino movies and insists that in nearly all of his films his character is usually "the smartest person in the room." Mel Brooks used the N-word in his hit comedy "Blazing Saddles," in which the butt of the jokes were dumb, racist whites. Bill Cosby criticized black comedians for using the word, while, as we now know, Cosby serially drugged and sexually assaulted women. But he drew the line at black comics using the N-word. Race-hustling incendiary Al Sharpton weighed in on the Rogan controversy, calling his apology insufficient without "some penance." Never mind that Sharpton once called the first black mayor of New York City a "n----- whore." To this day Sharpton refuses to apologize for perpetuating the Tawana Brawley hate crime fraud when Sharpton knowingly and falsely accused a former white assistant district attorney of raping the black teenager. In 1979, toward the end of his stand-up career, comedian Richard Pryor apologized for decades of using the N-word in his performances. But contemporary comedians like D.L. Hughley, Katt Williams and Chris Rock use it, despite Pryor's regret. Meanwhile, as the blacks-are-victims-ofracism media obsesses over the Rogan "controversy," never mind the real problems affecting the black community. But, hey, at least Rogan groveled. Larry Elder A New Law Two guys walk into a bar and order lunch. "What brings you guys in today?" the bartender asks. "I guess you haven't heard yet. The mayor passed a law yesterday to try to help out local restaurants during Covid-19. All adult males are required to go and eat lunch out with their best male friends at least once a week," one of the guys answers the bartender. "Well it's not a law really," the other guy corrects him. "It's more of a “Mandate." Long Wait At A Drive-Thru... I was in a long queue at a drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn because I was taking too long to place my order. Take the high road, I thought to myself. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the line to start all over. Don't honk your horn at old people.
