  • I don’t claim to know him but I think he was a foolish kid who is now learning the error of his ways. He never struck me as someone who was intentionally malicious but rather someone who is very uninformed and didn’t realize it. He said it once in a stream, he used it to mean basically “asshole” when someone killed him. I’m sure he knew it was racist, but he probably didn’t know the WHY to why it was or the real cultural significance it has in the US, he’s swedish, he’s so far removed from American culture. And I don’t think he realized the impact of saying that and some of his other comments had on his young impressionable fans.

    It SEEMS like he’s becoming more politically left leaning and has unlearned some of his bias he had in the past. I don’t know for sure but I hope he has.













  • Had a similar experience when I ate fiber cereal as a kid, it was only one day of constipation though. I remember thinking I hadn’t pooped and that was weird, I woke up the next day, brushed my teeth and as I walked out of the bathroom I felt something DROP and went “OH GOD!” and ran back in and barely made it to the toilet. I was late for school that day.
