Transcript excerpt

Cookie King is canceled, and he's not gonna be at locked in is what I would say if I was genuinely retarded. Bro, these people who have, like, this idea that, oh my good. This man is a racist. Like, please, please no fight actual actual racism. Look up some stuff that's actually racist and go make videos about it. Texas, for example, just made the Zaw, like, illegal. Like, if you have some Zaw, you can go to jail. That is genuinely racist. Look at the actual stats there. It's basically a a, you know, method to put a bunch of people of African American and Mexican descent into the private prison system. That's what it is. Go make videos on that. Like, go make videos and stuff that actually is racist. Okay? Cookie makes a corny joke here and there. He's usually making a joke in which he thinks the joke is so dumb and not funny that he's gonna make a video on it. So, yeah, he's gonna be locked in, and people rank me this. Of course. The fuck? Peace.
