[@donaldleider7382]

Say what you will about John Rocker, but he’s definitely been on the 7 train! The man is a prophet!

[@carlodangio1724]

Rocker was based beyond his years

[@Sceneyour]

He was a man ahead of his time. I love you John.

[@JoeKnows44]

Probably be President today.

25 years later and his comments are spot on. I live in NY and his description is 100% accurate

[@LeandroGenovese45]

And this was back in 1999. NY is even a lot worse today 😂

[@merucrypoison296]

If only he knew how bad things really are now

[@bobfort8023]

2024 and I think he should run for mayor of New York!

[@gregb2680]

Damn so its new york in 2024. Rocker was a prophet. 😂

Nah he was a bigot

[@Thegigachad248]

​@@Norcat10he's literally right

[@Norcat10]

@@Thegigachad248 he literally said he doesn’t like foreigners. That’s being a bigot.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

I love how he has so many examples of what he doesn't like😂

[@banjo2012]

What he said was factually correct. They were just upset he said it like it was bad.

[@Darkk_Sage]

He couldn’t possibly know if someone had AIDS. That comment was 100% prejudice versus the others.

[@PotatoSlices]

​@@Darkk_Sage he was correct.

[@JoeKnows44]

It's not a statement of fact. It's literally a hypothetical scenario.
What part is correct?

[@PotatoSlices]

@@JoeKnows44 a hypothetical that reflects reality pretty accurately.

[@JoeKnows44]

@@PotatoSlices, the odds of the exact situation he's describing ever happening are probably in the billion to one range, so no.
What you are trying to say is that you don't like those people either. That you agree with Rocker's bigoted attitude and are proud of that.

[@michaelmiller2475]

How right he was……

[@JoeKnows44]

You spelled racist wrong.

[@robertmorrison5916]

I just got back from nyc and can comfirm this is true

[@agoogleuser992]

Love it and John Rocker, met him before , one of the coolest dudes ever

[@Raven-hh6ok]

[@chrisschuldt3865]

You can't give an opinion and call it truth. You can't create a hypothetical and call it truth.
That's just how reality works.

@@JoeKnows44 easy big cat. Anyone who has spent any amount of time in New York knows everything he stated that he hates about New York is actually reality there making his statements truth not opinion.

This is why most people don’t go to New York. The comments aren’t wrong he should’ve just kept them to himself. 😂

[@user-li2bm3hp6u]

God damn hero.

[@DoubleBob]

Being "not a very big fan" and considering suffering depressing was enough to cancel him and call him sick in 99. The people who want to go back to the 90s should really think about how good these supposed good times were.

[@JobberJim]

They were great as long as you avoided New York

[@brian954]

“Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese”?
Did anyone ever tell him about his redundancies?

[@wandameadows5736]

Thats not redundant, Asia is a Continent like Africa. Korea & is 2 Nations & Vietnam could have been 2 Nations if American Politicians hadn't teamed up with Communist. The real question is why do some people refer to America blacks as African American when Africa isn't a Nation & they were born in America?
