Yikes
I saw the headline and was like, "so what'd he say? Was it really outrageous, like antisemitic stuff? Or something vague but problematic?"
And he's just like, "Well, I just want to go on the record as saying that I have a strong unexamined bias against the cultural contributions of people who don't look like me. And even though I know this is outdated, stupid, sand definitely outside the bounds of what I can say without consequences, I do not respect women or black people. Next question?"
I'm now bewildered but how stupid he is than his poor judgements.
This guy...
It is especially bizarre considering Rolling Stone is named after a song written by a black person (and a person who definitely meets the definition of a "master" in his book).
If you mean the song Like a Rolling Stone, that was written by Bob Dylan, who is white. Otherwise, I'm not sure what song you're thinking of, but I am pretty sure that's the song the magazine was named after.

Ok, fair enough. I didn't think it would be named after a song that someone who predated rock by decades wrote.
The song is from 1950. Johnny B. Goode came out in 1957. Muddy Waters died in 1983.
Rock has its roots and foundation in Delta Blues. Which would be the environment that helped influence and shape later known Chicago bluesmen such as Muddy Waters. Without the contributions of the black artists from the Mississippi Delta you would not have any of the music we currently enjoy today.
There's no way this is the first time he's said shit like this, it's just the first time anyone cared.
