This excerpt is being uploaded in the "culturally significant conversations" file @Zetetic News Network as we head further down the freespeech rabbit hole in the USA but more broadly on the Internet.

Mike Tyson as always brings a more realistic perspective to the table and one that doesn't ignore contextual relevancy to the use of a word. Kenan on the other hand is evoking a BLMish tone and would suggest that somehow conditions will improve for a diverse sociodemographic block by controlling speech and simply "eradicating" the use of certain words. We had a lengthy discussion on a prior episode to this effect - back when Joe Rogan did the "about face" on his prior use of the word #nigger . What is important is not the word but the intent, context, and actual connotation meant. Mike seems OK with the word and even explains how associating with it makes him feel special. and if anyone embodies 'belief in one's specialness' I think Mike is qualified to discuss and not let Kenan dictate the terms of the conversation...making for a hilarious exchange.
