On Wednesday's episode of the Daily Show, Jon Stewart dedicated a nearly 10-minute segment to the racist Oklahoma fraternity chant that surfaced earlier this week.
Stewart helped clarify that the chant was obviously an isolated case of racism and definitely in no way indicative of larger systemic problems of racism in America.
Stewart specifically took issue with a Morning Joe segment in which the team suggested that the racist chant was a product of white kids listening to rap music.
Besides the initial racist chant, another video emerged this week of the SAE "frat mom" using racist slurs while apparently singing along to the Trinidad James song "All Gold Everything."
Morning Joe guest Bill Kistol suggested that: "Popular culture becomes a cesspool, a lot of corporations profit off it, and then people are surprised that some drunk 19-year-old kids repeat what they've been hearing on the radio."
"Exactly!" said host Mika Brzezinski.
