In what context was it said. Was it like a friendly my n****@ or was he using it durogatoraly with the hard r?

The compilation I saw had all context removed, but in almost every instance he says something like, "the word n*****." He was using the word in context, not as slurs against people, and that was actually pretty common back in the day on youtube where all of those clips are from. Anyway he already made a video apologizing and expressing regret over this. I also saw a compilation of Anna Kasparian from TYT saying the N word. Instead of apologizing she tweeted, "Context matters. Cancel me if you'd like. I don't care." TYT had a policy of reading quotes containing slurs verbatim, but the context is hardly different than the context in which Joe Rogan used the word. In every case they're either quoting people or discussing the word itself.
