Use of the N-word - Rogan Apologizes

I have no idea why Rogan didn't point this out. Using it in a referential way or as part of a quote used to be seen as acceptable. Like you pointed out, even hard core leftists would say it in that kind of context. This is one of those things where how they judge someone shifts wildly depending on whether you are guilty of wrongthink.

I wonder if they found some more serious dirt on Rogan. He caved so quickly. Maybe one of these big tech companies tapped someones phone illegally and without permission to record him doing something he'd be embarrassed about, like having a gay orgy with Dana White and some UFC fighters.

I feel like us whites have had the word stolen from us and we should take it back. I have never used it myself but am going to start dropping it in to every day speech. Reappropriation.

This is probably more serious, but he blamed it on the drugs and apologized.

Rogan also addressed a clip that Arie shared of him telling an anecdote in which he appeared to compare being around black people with the film Planet of the Apes.

He said: “I was telling a story in the podcast about how me and my friend Tommy and his girlfriend, we got really high, we’re in Philadelphia, and we went to go see Planet of the Apes.

“We didn’t know where we were going, we just got dropped off by a cab, and we got dropped off in this all-black neighbourhood.

“And I was trying to make the story entertaining and I said: ‘We got out, and it was like we were in Africa, like we were in Planet of the Apes.’

“I did not, nor would I ever, say that black people are apes, but it sure fuckin’ sounded like that.

“And I immediately afterwards said: ‘That’s a racist thing to say.’”

Rogan said he had deleted the podcast and admitted it was “an idiotic thing to say”, adding: “I was just trying to be entertaining. I certainly wasn’t trying to be racist, and I certainly would never want to offend someone for entertainment with something as stupid as racism.”

He added: “My sincere and humble apologies. I wish there was more that I could say.”

Worth pointing out that when videos surfaced of Joe Biden saying that word over and over, the media defended him, and said the clips were a non-issue, because he was quoting someone else. It's a double standard to now say the opposite when it's Rogan and not Biden.

Never apologize, it's an admission of guilt and/or wrong doing. And Rogan has nothing to apologize for. The Wokists, like good little commies, are in the business of weaponizing words and setting themselves up as the Thought Police. It's way past time they got put back in their box, hard.

There’s no context to sugar his referring to a black neighborhood has “Planet of the Apes” - I don’t think someone who refers to African Americans as apes gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to using the n-word over and over again.

Joe used that word because he wanted to be an edgelord. The fact that he thought he could get away with it by using the “I’m just repeating what someone else said” excuse - an excuse a child would use - is crazy.

Joe fucked up. He fucked up by apologizing for something he shouldn't have apologized for - and he did it twice - in one week! lol

Essentially, he's committed suicide. From this day forth, he'll be walking on eggshells, hoping that he doesn't offend someone with 'misinformation' or a crude joke. And from this day forth, the woke police will be looking at every word he says and start a major media campaign if he ever slips up. It's kind of interesting, because I know that he knows what the woke crowds do once you start apologizing. So, given that he knows, I wonder - did someone hold a gun to his head or hold his family hostage? Or perhaps have something much bigger on him that they were threatening to release, if he did not go on the apology tour?

It was certainly odd, and like I said - we've all witnessed JR's suicide and it wasn't pretty. He'll never be the same, regardless of what platform he'll be on - even if he switches to Rumble.

It's a WORD, for fuck sake, not a nuclear warhead. What the hell is wrong with this planet now???

Sticks and stones, motherfuvkers!!! Grow a pair.
