Today the US Supreme Court eviscerated the Voting Rights Act protections against racial gerrymandering.
Joe Rogan's use of the n-word is unconscionable racism. This too, but it will do so much more to deprive Black people of political power.

It's almost like the media's saturation coverage of Rogan is a distraction from the sort of racism we see in decisions like the second.

And I am *not* making this trash argument. White people, comedians or otherwise, never have the right to use the n-word. They should be called out. 
I just think it is sometimes easier for us to focus on easier to understand racism rather than the sort of racism exemplified in today's Supreme Court decision.
It's also a convenient distraction for Biden and others who have no commitment to legislating to enshrine voting rights for Black people and other progressive policies.
They can call out people like Joe Rogan - see I'm not racist - while the policies they espouse show the opposite.
Owe thoughts expressed here to points made by my dear friend @Shugah in a conversation we had tonight.
