We laugh about how dumb this is, but also, it's civil war time. And, a 2013 photo of the Seattle Jimi Hendrix statue being defaced goes viral, and facebook is forced to reckon with just how low BLM will go.

| Okay, next comment here. | |
| This is, this is, this is an all-timer, folks. | |
| I can't wait to hear Tony read this. | |
| And this is, it's funny that Tony's reading this. | |
| Yeah, it's pretty great that I'm reading this one. | |
| Um, because, and you have to remember when you read these comments, you're reading for somebody else. | |
| It's clearly not me saying this. | |
| Somebody please, uh, clip this comment of Tony reading this. | |
| From it's time to think. | |
| Oh, shit. | |
| All right. | |
| Let's all put our fucking thinking caps on for this comment. | |
| It says, we should have picked our own cotton. | |
| Which, I mean, yes, absolutely, that's kind of the whole thing. | |
| I am so like, I've never been more proud of this show. | |
| I've never had like a stronger sense of purpose or identity for this show. | |
| Because we are reading a comment from a white person that says, we should have picked our own cotton. | |
| But because of the premise of this show, Because of the nature of this show, it is like, one of the worst things this person could say, because what they're- Yeah! | |
| What? | |
| What they're saying is, like, yeah, the slavery and everything, like, the chattel slavery just wasn't worth it. | |
| It just wasn't worth it. | |
| For, like, what we have to deal with today. | |
| It's not because... To put up with these people complaining about getting murdered and, like, real estate companies are no longer... Yeah, real estate companies are no longer using the word master bedroom. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| We should have just totally, we should have... And yeah, there's no sense of like, oh yeah, that was wrong that we did that. | |
| No, that's not why. | |
| That's not why. | |
| It's because I had to read online about how a realty agency is changing the terminology of their listings. | |
| That's why we shouldn't have had slaves. | |
| But the good thing though is that because this is an open forum, there was someone there to respond to them, to call them out for the terrible thing that they just said. | |
| Kjak responds, you can't say cotton. | |
| Shame on you. | |
| Yeah, that's a funny joke. | |
| They're clearly, clearly, uh, they're clearly mocking the whole idea of that, but um, I will, I've told the story more than once, but I, I have had cotton used at me in a very offensive way when I was installing insulation. | |
| It's not beautiful. | |
| Tina says, each time Jimmy's statue is defaced our family feels hurt. | |
| It seems to happen on a regular basis. | |
| I've been working to get the statue moved to Jimmy's old neighborhood where it belongs. | |
| Thanks for your support. | |
| Crying emoji. | |
| So this is in Seattle. | |
| This is in Capitol Hill specifically. | |
| This is specifically two blocks away from me. | |
| This Jimi Hendrix statue is on Broadway right above Pine in front of the Blick Art Store. | |
| Which, I don't know, seems like a bad spot for a statue if you don't want it to get defaced. | |
| Why would you put it in front of a store selling art supplies? | |
| I actually bought graffiti supplies from that Blick last time I was up there. | |
| Yeah, they're literally, I mean it seems like a racket almost. | |
| I thought that the statue was like one of those Sharpie test stations? | |
| Like above the gel pens? | |
| Yeah, totally. | |
| Sorry. | |
| I thought the Jimi Hendrix statue was one of those teddy bears that you can mark on and then you throw it in the washer and then it disappears, you know? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| We just gotta throw it in the washer now. | |
| Do you remember that? | |
| Yeah, totally. | |
| I don't remember that, absolutely. | |
| I didn't remember it until just now. | |
| Seems like entrapment to me. | |
| You're seeing this Jimi Hendrix statue and you're like, God, I would love to fucking deface this statue. | |
| You know, as a member of Black Lives Matter or Antifa, you're looking at this Jimi Hendrix statue and you're like, there's nothing more that I hate than a statue, you know? | |
| Especially of a black person. | |
| I mean, just any, any, any, why, why, why do you say that? | |
| I mean. | |
| Oh, I just thought that, well, cause I, I, you know, it's like, it's appropriation. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Statue appropriation. | |
| Totally. | |
| It's, it's like, it's like a graven image thing. | |
| How dare you? | |
| Yeah. | |
| How dare you memorialize? | |
| Do they even pay him every time someone touches it or takes a picture of it? | |
| Yeah. | |
| So this was posted Tuesday, this Tuesday, by Tina Hendricks. | |
| Tina Hendricks has included a photo of the statue, you know, being tagged on. | |
| The graffiti is a light blue graffiti and it says like, I'm trying to remember what it says, because I clipped it from the screen grab, but it says like, like, Woogan, or something. | |
| It's like, it says, it says like, Voogle, with like an umlaut and shit over it. | |
| So obviously the work of Black Lives Matter, obviously the work of Antifa, or just far right, far left radicals in general. | |
| A lot of our, a lot of our iconography that we have, And like the Black Power movement does stem from our roots in Anglo languages that use umlauts. | |
| Yeah, absolutely. | |
| Our Viking brothers. | |
| Uh, no, this photo is from 2013. | |
| This photo is from 2013, uh, specifically from a Seattle Times article about, like, this, you know, defacement of the statue that describes police arresting the people who did this graffiti the same night. | |
| They like literally followed a trail of blue paint and arrested the drunken college students who were like tagging their way home, basically. | |
| And they were all like, this is how a white man plays guitar. | |
| Uh, so, I was like, yeah, why is Tina Hendricks posting a photo from 2013 about her, uh, her uncle's statue being defaced at a time when, you know, other statues, other, like, actually racist, some, some not, you know, but actual racist Confederate statues being, uh, you know, tagged or pulled down or whatever. | |
| Very interesting thing to post. | |
| If you ask me. | |
| Well, I don't want to do this because I think that it's like, I think it's important as myself being someone that is light-skinned, I think it's important for me to point out that Tina is very light-skinned. | |
| And like Tina, like myself, like LaToya Jackson, we should always be critical of what peripheral light-skinned people, of famous people, what they have to say. | |
| The peripheral folks are the ones you have to watch out for. | |
| If you're a famous black person, please watch out for the peripheral light-skinned. | |
| You can trust me. | |
| You can trust me. | |
| Because I'm saying this right now. | |
| But I think it's important that we acknowledge our privilege. | |
| I think in this situation I'm the peripheral light-skinned person to you, Tony. | |
| Yeah, you're my Seattle representative. | |
| Was that like a really bad thing to say? | |
| No, no. | |
| Might have been a bad joke to make. | |
| So yeah, it's interesting. | |
| This got shared into the Joe Rogan Facebook group and the caption was like, wow, even Jimi Hendrix? | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| And, uh, Jamie Etheridge commented, I love it. |
