Joe Rogan is simply not a racist. In fact I would go as far as to say this: if everyone in the world possessed Joe Rogan's attitude toward race, his openness of mind, and his diverse set of friends, then we would be living in the world that MLK dreamed of.

Everyone who is saying that Kyle Rittenhouse would have been found guilty if he were black should recall that Kenneth Walker (Breonna Taylor's bf) shot a cop (!) in self-defense and was cleared of all charges (and rightly so).

You’re clearly confused, Clay. Hope this helps.
The headline was terrible for several reasons.

Two: my race should be totally irrelevant. The truth…
Coleman Hughes calls for a colorblind society but this NYT headline says he's a "BLACK conservative"... he's getting press and because he is BLACK calling for colorblindness. Why is his race mentioned? Shouldn't he denounce any mention of his race?

No disagreement here. Minor one-sentence mistakes, though, are not the issue. So no “microscope” is needed. Lifting whole paragraphs over and over again is the problem—and should be disqualifying for any university president.
