Opinion: Joe Rogan should use this as a ‘teachable moment’
Joe Rogan is under fire for his repeated use of a racial slurLast week, a video made the rounds of Joe Rogan repeatedly using a racial slur from past episodes of his podcast. The clip was inflammatory, and it provided no context regarding how or why Rogan used the slur. It’s worth asking, though, if the context around the video was even all that necessary. After all the man himself doesn’t seem to think so.
“I do hope that this can be a teachable moment,” Rogan said a video posted to social media, “for anybody that doesn’t realize how offensive that word can be coming out of a white person’s mouth in context or out of context.”
