He has annoyed me a lot over the years, especially with some race stuff, but he certainly isn't the worst racially.
I'd give him a pass on this one. Little doubt he has worked his ass off over the years, whether you like him or not. He has paid his dues as much as anyone. Enjoys great success now. I'd imagine he is talking about all the YouTubers, podcasters, etc who have only been around a couple years questioning why he wasn't fired too. He is just lashing back.
