0:00.0 | I feel like our culture is collapsing. The culture war has gotten to the point where it just seems like everybody's insane. |
0:07.9 | Connor Daly is a professional race car driver, and apparently one of his sponsors, Lily Diabetes, has pulled their decals from his car for an upcoming race |
0:16.5 | because I kid you not. His father, 30 plus years ago, used a racial slur in an interview. |
0:24.3 | Connor Daly was born in 1991, and his dad said a bad word in the 1980s, and that's enough for this guy's sponsor to pull out. |
0:32.9 | It just seems like it's getting more and more extreme. We heard of Papa John's when he got out of his company because in a private phone call, |
0:40.1 | he said the N word, but he was deriding racism. He was angry with the racists. |
0:45.7 | We are the Netflix executive, who was telling people that the N word was offensive, but apparently saying it was offensive too, |
0:52.6 | so that's enough for him to be fired. And now it's gotten so extreme that Connor Daly, who didn't even say any words, |
1:01.1 | has lost, I don't know if it means he lost his sponsorship, but the decals have been removed from his car |
1:06.4 | because of something his dad said before he was born. It really is getting to that point. |
1:11.8 | So I have to wonder what any of this actually means. What is going on with American culture that it seems like these rapid changes, |
1:19.1 | these people get fired, some people don't, look, James Gunn was fired from Guardians of the Galaxy for making offensive jokes |
1:25.5 | 10 years ago. But Sarah Silverman's entire career was built off being offensive. Why isn't she fired? |
1:31.8 | None of it makes sense. It just seems like the culture war is showing us the utter hypocrisy of tribalism in general. |
1:38.6 | I don't know why Disney would fire James Gunn. I don't know why they would keep on Sarah Silverman, |
1:42.2 | but you could look at their circumstances and I could argue Sarah Silverman is substantially worse than James Gunn. |
1:48.7 | So let's take a look at some of these stories and let's take a look at just how bad the culture war has gotten. |
1:53.4 | The first story. Connor Daly's Lillie sponsorship decals removed because of father's use of racial slur in the 1980s. |
2:00.2 | Connor Daly is paying for the sins of his father. Connor's father Derek Daly on Thursday admitted he had used a racial slur in a live radio interview in the early 1980s. |
2:09.0 | Connor Daly was born in 1991. On Friday, Lillie Diabetes pulled its sponsorship decals from Connor Daly's number six NASCAR ride, |
2:16.6 | saying that it didn't want the distraction from their cause. Lillie's full statement via NASCAR reporter Chris Knight. |
2:22.4 | Our sponsorship in Saturday's race is intended to raise awareness of treatment options and resources for people living with diabetes. |
