The host later touched on Spotify’s decision to not remove Rogan’s lucrative podcast despite several big-name musicians pulling their music from the platform over his comments on race and his role in spreading COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Noah said “whipping out your checkbook,” like Spotify did when it donated to marginalized groups in response to the backlash, “is the classic sign that you know you fucked up.” Just stop saying it or just be racist-it’s easier for everyone that way.” ‘No, no, look at how I was using it’-no, dude, no one’s got the time for that. “Because Black people don’t have the time to sit down and sort out the racist who says the N-word 70 times with the non-racist who says the N-word 70 times,” he said. “Black people are dealing with too much shit. Noah elaborated on how saying the “N-word” for white people puts them in “unnecessary trouble,” regardless of context. “But I will say, if I were him, I wouldn’t walk into a cinema in a Black neighborhood for a little while.” “As for Joe Rogan, he says he’s learned his lesson, and I hope he has,” Noah said. Noah pointed to the fact that Rogan said it was “a racist thing for me to say” after he made the joke, with Trevor arguing “laughs don’t mean that there’s no racism.” The comedian/author added that Rogan classifying his words as “entertaining” ended up being “illuminating” for observers. ‘Black people are apes’ is right next to burning crosses and every Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 1940s.” “First of all, he said he would never say that Black people are apes, but he said that! That’s literally what he said,” Noah exclaimed. Rogan claimed in his apology that he was trying to make his anecdote “entertaining,” and now says it “wasn’t a racist story, but it sounded terrible.” Noah, who previously called out Rogan over his comments on race, was referring to Rogan’s recollection of seeing Planet of the Apes, where he used the movie title to reference the neighborhood he saw it in, saying he “walked into Africa” when he entered the theater. And as bad as it was to see Joe Rogan dropping the N-word like he bought it in bulk at Costco, an even worse part of the video is when Joe Rogan told a story about going to a movie in a Black neighborhood.” “Then the worst thing they can do is take your statue down and move it into a museum. “If there’s ever a video of you saying the N-word that many times, you better pray one of two things: either you’re Black person, or you’re a dead man from history,” Noah said Monday. After Rogan’s apologetic response, the Daily Show host decided to share his thoughts on air. Rogan was called out last week in a montage video shared by India Arie showing him saying the racial slur two dozen times on his Spotify podcast. Trevor Noah is speaking out about Joe Rogan’s latest N-word controversy.
