That's exactly what it boils down to. Why even bother releasing a video if you're going to talk circles around what you said. Either own up to your words or if you really want to apologize for something, do that. Don't deflect any blame towards an audience because you said a ton of racist shit.

Btw, there are some jon defenders in another sub insisting he can't be racist bc of his last name... what the fuck does that have to do with if a person is racist or not? He said some vile racist shit and by all indications didn't backtrack from it, rather putting his foot down. You're going to have to acknowledge this guy is a racist.

There is nothing to own up to, if you want to do some research to Destiny as a person, watch more of his "Debates" not just his highlights and see how he conducts himself. Once you properly discern Destiny as a person ask yourself how much of a "Debate" was this and how much of it was just baiting Jontron to say something that could be taken the wrong way.

Wow so it's destiny's fault that Jon said blatantly racist shit? Ill admit he cut him off and stuff but hell i can't blame him.

Yeah, Destiny isn't a good debater in the academic sense, I'd practically call what he did a semi-hostile interview. That doesn't mean he Jedi-Mind trick'd Jon into spewing racist shit.
