First 10 mins into the episode:
Rogan: why do black people love menthols so much?
The flow of their conversation so far is that of hanging out in a basement, while smoking weed, and talking about the first thing that comes to mind.
typical Joe Rogan flow but this is why it’s so easily consumed. No complexity, just straight talk.
There’s already ppl here who don’t like Rogan for many reasons, one of them being his talk on Black people, and that’s fair…
But, let’s contextualize the conversation, because without that, they see what you said and hold it against him.
The road of conversation was natural vs man-made. They talked about medicinal herbs vs the pharmaceutical industry…which led to how to government controls what Americans are allow to have and not have, or what we have been brainwashed into having.
Joe said that flavored vapes are banned in CA.
Katt followed up with “that is fine, but it hurt Black people as they counted menthol as a flavor, and hurt newports”
Then Joe asked why Black ppl why they like menthol so much.
Katt did acknowledge immediately that their conversation will be seen as racist and it’s gonna get him (Katt) cancelled… (jokingly)
The conversation switched..it did seem like Katt was trying to change the subject but Katt brought the topic back around as so to answer the question…
Just putting context to the convo.
btw Katt answered it.. which was “we value strength in product” potency, he talked about malt liquor vs liquor..and concentrated products.
weird answer to which Joe said “that makes sense”
Again, basement weed talk.
