Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson: Partners in Racism and Profound Stupidity

The viral video confirms my views

Herbert Dyer, a writer on this platform wrote an incredibly powerful obituary, in the aftermath of Sidney Poitier’s passing.

One of the readers left a comment which I deemed quite shocking and racist and I have the screen shot image for all would be readers.

In it the reader said that the dark skinned Sidney Poitier was successful because he had the non-African look and could speak good English.

Naturally I was beyond outraged by the comments and called out the reader, whose name and comments are there for all to see.

My reason for bringing this up is the viral video doing the rounds with Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, in which they discuss Michael Eric Dyson’s disparaging comments about the Canadian academic.

Once they’d got past that, Peterson remarked that Eric Dyson wasn’t Black but Brown and that he(Peterson) wasn’t white. At which point, the conversation turns sinister.

Joe Rogan, then went on to say that Dyson wasn’t black in the way that Africans, who live without clothes are, and Peterson seemed to agree with the newly minted agent provocateur.
