There is simply no workable definition of racism that includes joe rogan. In so far as there is an enduring problem of race in our society, people like joe are not a symptom of it but the cure. What's more, i think joe actually went too far in his apology about using the end word. It's totally understandable that he did, because he's been taking a tremendous amount of fire. Even the white house came after him this week, is completely crazy. But let me take a moment to spell out why i think that's a mistake.
