ANYONE KNOW WHAT HE MEANS?

Apparently Kid Rock is dressing up for Halloween wearing a Doctors mask and identifying as the "R" Word! I am so confused? The only thing I could think of was:
Raggedy-ass
Reprobate
Riffraff
Rancid
Rat-fink

The 'R-word,' embraced by Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, inches back into the mainstream Many still consider the word a disability slur, and while its use has percolated in the comedy world for years, only recently has it — and discussion of its return — become more common.

DON’T SAY IT!
As the dad of a little boy with Down Syndrome I say please don’t use this terrible word! #downsyndrome #intellectualdisabilities #rword

Why, why, why are people, who claim to be allies, like this?

Please block this person to demonstrate to them that hate speech has consequences. I reported them from the (now deleted) original post. Blocked, and done.
