Stewart called out those blaming rap music for the n-word. “That word predates rap,” Stewart said. “And probably folk. And thought.”
Stewart helped clarify that the chant was obviously an isolated case of racism and definitely in no way indicative of larger systemic problems of racism in America.
Besides the initial racist chant, another video emerged this week of the SAE "frat mom" using racist slurs while apparently singing along to the Trinidad James song "All Gold Everything."
Morning Joe guest Bill Kistol suggested that: "Popular culture becomes a cesspool, a lot of corporations profit off it, and then people are surprised that some drunk 19-year-old kids repeat what they've been hearing on the radio."
"Exactly!" said host Mika Brzezinski.
