JD Vance to Rogan: Liberals Should Learn From ‘Boyz N the Hood,’ Math Isn’t ‘Racist’

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) told Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience Thursday that liberals should learn from the classic John Singleton 1991 film Boyz n the Hood that math is not “racist.”

Vance, who taped the episode with Rogan on Wednesday, noted that he had re-watched the film recently, and recalled watching it often when he was growing up — in his own version of poverty, in a white working-class neighborhood.

Vance said that he related to Singleton’s coming-of-age story — and especially to the idea that “math isn’t racist.”

That line is delivered by Laurence Fishburne, who plays Jason “Furious” Styles, a father and mortgage broker who is determined to keep his son from following a path into violence and death on the streets of South Central Los Angeles.

Vance said that Styles was an inspiration to him, since he himself was growing up without a father. He also related to Styles’s effort to stop large financial institutions from buying up all of the real estate in the neighborhood, which spoke to him as a resident in a small town dominated by far larger economic forces.
