Joe Rogan Got PAID (Podcast Moving To Spotify) (2 Viewers)

Maybe you can explain to me how a white person using the N word multiple times on audio/video can't be racist? OR maybe you casually dismiss such 'harmless' acts? And to be specific, I would like you to use YOUR words to explain this. Not what some talking head has said or whatever.

Wow you are offended easily, why are you so upset?. Why don't you ask Tyson or Smith why they support Rogan in the way they do. I don't need to use my words, because those are black men who clearly have no issues with Rogan as they continue to support him as there are MANY other black people who frequent his show and support him. Maybe your own white guilt has you upset for what ever reason, that is your personal problem.

Call him racist all you like be you don't get continual returning guests like Neil deGrasse Tyson, or being revered by Stephen A Smith in the video above if you are racist.

I wouldn’t call that logic airtight

No one needs to explain anything. Whatever happened to redemption? Forgiveness? Growth? I don't imagine you are the same ignorant person you were 10 years ago, either.

Has he asked for forgiveness and shown redemption

Anyway moving it along a bit.

I don't check in on him as much since he's moved to Austin.

It's affected the balance of the guests he has and there's far more comedians and less science heavy guests than before he moved from LA.

At least it 'feels' that way to me.

I’m just glad that commerce is still happening. It was touch and go there for a moment.

I certainly don't think simply saying a word, no matter what the word is, is enough to paint someone a racist.

I'm not really a fan or Rogan, but there really isn't any basis to call him a racist.

He is a dummy, but not a racist.

There is no basis in reality for anyone to call Joe Rogan racist.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel that’s your call to make?

Rogan is a great facilitator of open minded intellectual discussion.

It is hard to tell whether he is the most intellectual goofball out there, or the goofiest intellectual out there.

Either way, his podcast is often fun, smart, honest, and positive.

And, he gave us Lex Friedman, who is even better.

You first

You seem to think I was making an edict that everyone had to obey.

Everything we say is an opinion, even if stated with a declarative sentence.

We all know that word has a long history of being derogatory, degrading and dehumanizing. Did he use this word in historical context? But lets continue to give him a pass, and and allow a person like him to marginalize the usage and what it represents, especially coming from someone like him - considering people like him have a long history of using it to degrade and dehumanize. He also made a comment about referring to certain people (guess which) as apes, and that certain people (guess which) have different types of brains. Maybe theres no basis in reality for thinking he is racist for that too.
