He would never do this in a serious tourny or what have you. It's simple ladder entertainment. I'm pretty sure most people know he isn't racist/etc/etc/etc | ||

What? I don't follow. Just because some people would like to see racist behavior doesn't make it a good idea to broadcast. NOTE: I'm not saying it's okay in private conversation to call a black guy a nigger either, I'm saying it's substantially more fucked up to do it over a broadcast medium. | ||

He's one of the highest paid entertainers ever and was #1 in radio for years. If he's not mainstream then the term loses all meaning. I remember uncensored Stern being one of the selling points of satellite radio, but I also remember Stern's gimmick being lewdness and not outright racist hate speech. | ||

A lot of people seem to believe that this is what Destiny is, and are coming here to argue that this is nothing new, that this is his "persona" and that because he believes it is fine, it is fine. | ||

Destiny will be Destiny and he probably won't change his language hes had it for a while and has been extremely controversial. Destiny does not directly hate groups of people and is not racist he has said this many times on posts and on his stream, he simply uses these terms. Simply posting this will probably, most likely, not make a difference in his language, he has thousands of viewers for a reason. Please take Philosphy 101 and look up the difference between "Rights" and "Duties". One has a right to be as offensive and racist as one wants. One also has a moral duty not to. I really enjoy his stream despite the racist remarks, not because of it. I'd enjoy his stream much more without it. | ||
