https://pagesix.com/2022/02/05/joe-rogan-apologizes-for-repeated-use-of-the-n-word-in-viral-clip/

Joe Rogan has responded to a resurfaced clip of him using the N-word almost two dozen times while hosting his wildly popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Calling the clip the most regretful and shameful thing Ive ever had to talk about publicly, Rogan, 54, insisted the video consisted of out of context snippets from 12 years of conversations on his show. It looks fucking horrible. Even to me. He continued, I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, nevermind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that now. I havent said it in years. He then admits to using the word in his past, but claims it would only be within the context of the conversation. Instead of saying the N-word, I would just say the word. I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing.

Grammy-winning singer India.Arie shared the now-viral clip of Rogan Thursday on Instagram while explaining her reasons for removing her music from Spotify, citing Rogans language around race and $100 million deal that she believes was built on the backs of musicians. While acknowledging that social media footage can be doctored and/or taken out of context, Arie, 46, argued that the stand-up and UFC enthusiast, shouldnt even be uttering the word dont even say it, under any context. Dont say it. Thats where I stand. I have always stood there. Rogan claims, however, that he would often be discussing comics of yesteryear who used the word, or quoting bits from acts like Lenny Bruce and Paul Mooney. He went on to explain his fascination with the word, and the fact that one race isnt allowed to use it while another can use it in countless ways. Its a very unusual word, but its not my word to use, he continued. I never used it to be racist, because Im not racist, but whenever youre in a situation where you have to say Im not racist, youve fucked up, and I clearly have fucked up. The podcaster went on to address a clip of him referring to a black neighborhood as Planet of the Apes, after being dropped off to see the movie with friends in Philadelphia. I was trying to make the story entertaining, Rogan claimed. I did not, nor did I ever say that black people are apes, but it sure fucking sounded like that. It wasnt a racist story, but it sounded terrible.

I wonder how long until he has to apologize for his transphobia. Maybe someone can make a compilation of those transphobic remarks to spark another apology.

Rogan should really stop apologizing to the mob. These people dont want to forgive him or understand context. They want him deplatformed and apologizing is just validation to them that theyre right.

Joe Rogan is trash but youre right in that theres no real benefit to apologizing in his shoes. Im guessing Spotify is putting pressure on him and he wants to protect his money.

I'm wondering what it would look like if he said I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, nevermind publicly on a podcast, and I have considered that racist" or something similar.

But if he had said that, he wouldn't be JR. He's too open-minded and persuadable. His open-mindedness in inviting scientist dissidents on COVID-19 is the whole reason there is a campaign against him in the first place.

I think his history of being essentially a shock jock in the model of Howard Stern (and that is my impression of JR) is sufficient reason why he should not have a large media circulation in the first place. But that was decided differently many times over a long time ago; Howard Stern was (and still is) one of the most popular radio hosts in history, and for much of the reason Joe Rogan is explosively popular: because by their saying things that are scandalous most people think they express something with a sliver of truth that is not otherwise said. Now in Joe Rogan, we get someone who gets more hatred, and I think the reason for that is because he is much less "shock" and much more "talk." He is reasonable, he listens, he tries to persuade. He actually cares, whereas Stern doesn't give a crap.

And I consider that we are living in a time when media companies are more powerful, and using that company to censor speech and discussion, to the point that truth is suppressed. I place Gamefaqs in that category, for certain. We have long been at a point where we cannot know everything that is important to know without there being some sort of garbage attached to it. And the use of the n-word in a "not insult context" seems to me low-class, and not any places different than that.

I figure 65-35 this blows over and no one cares in two weeks.

that clip, and in fact many of these clips, had been widely circulated by the time Spotify payed him $100 million dollars for exclusivity

they knew exactly who they were getting in bed with and any apology is meaningless

I think Joe talking about it is going to make it more known than if he had ignored it tbh.
Not to mention him already being a hot topic atm thanks to the artists.

I think this is really getting blown out of proportion. Joe Rogan is the type that doesnt really mince words. He wasnt calling anyone an N-word he was just referring to times people used the words.

With the context its really not bad.

When you combine it with the context of him saying shit like the planet of the apes quote and that other recent clip about the darkest places in Africa where everyone is naked or whatever, actually it is bad

The difference is Howard Stern is literally just trying to shock people. Joe Rogan pretends he's having an honest conversation, to get to the truth, while platforming white supremacists and basically leaving their views unchallenged

No, that is you trying to pretend each individual aspect of a person's body of work exists in a vacuum so nobody looks at the totality of it, something that clearly represents racial prejudice in this case.
