Question about Joe Rogan

32. [WATCH] (Or Don't) Spotify Can Ignore ... The Rampant Racism?

You really do not tire of being WRONG. I luckily do not associate with racists and I do know anyone who admits to watching Rogan. Are you sure that your so-called friends are not racists? Why would anyone who is not a racist want to listen to Rogan where the main thing that he does is use the N-word. I was going to post the clips of Rogan repeatedly using the N-word but these clips sicken me. Here is a good article and I agree that the clips of Rogan being a racist are beyond disturbing. https://hillreporter.com/watch-or-dont-spotify-can-ignore-joe-rogans-medical-disinformation-but-how-about-the-rampant-racism-123692

You should be warned before even starting that the video embedded in this story is beyond disturbing. You won’t want to play it in your workplace or in public…or, to be honest, probably at all, unless you’re super-comfortable with the n-slur. Fortunately, there’s plenty to support Rogan’s history of blatant racism without actually watching the video, if you prefer not to.

Spotify is, as you may know, under a lot of pressure to kick Joe Rogan’s podcast off the platform due to his use of it to push medical disinformation, inviting anti-vax guests and promoting ivermectin and other unsupported treatments for COVID-19 in the midst of a pandemic. Of course, those who remain skeptical of expert opinions on the pandemic also defend him on those grounds, because they believe he’s providing legitimate ‘alternative viewpoints.’

However, perhaps a bigger question is whether anyone at Spotify can defend this. (Final warning: this is the video that you probably don’t actually want to hear, and it’s a compilation of Rogan using the n-slur dozens of times. It is genuinely awful and painful to hear.)....

Even without that, there’s a lot of documented history of Rogan’s racism, including the recent podcast in which he and Jordan Peterson discussed which people are allowed to consider themselves “Black” (they decided that the identity should be reserved for people living in Africa and wearing no clothes), and more from over the years.

Then there’s this clip from 2019, in which Rogan recounts his experience of going to watch Planet of the Apes in apparently a predominantly Black neighborhood — he says, “We walked into the planet of the apes. We walked into Africa. Dude, we walked in the door and there was no white people.”

I did watch the clips contained in this article and I would not want to be friends with anyone who is a true fan of Rogan.

Media Matters has 350 hours of Rogan material that is very disturbing

I was hoping that you would post some more links that were not remotely relevant to the issue being discussed. The last set of links you posted were truly amusing. Thank you for the laughs
