In Rogan’s apology Saturday, he acknowledged that there’s “no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word” ― especially on a wide-reaching podcast ― and that he understands with that argument now.
But one of the clips in question was filmed as recently as 2018, in which Rogan discussed the firing of Netflix’s former chief communications officer Jonathan Friedland, whoRogan cited that clip in his apology video, sharing it as an example of how the racist slur would sometimes “come up in conversation” on his podcast., in which he discussed going to see a “Planet of the Apes” movie in a predominantly Black neighborhood.
In the clip, Rogan can be heard saying that stepping into the movie theater was like walking into “Planet of the Apes.”He later admitted in the video that that was a “racist thing for me to say,” saying that “‘Planet of the Apes’ didn’t take place in Africa.” He then insisted it was a “positive experience.”Rogan denied that he was referring to Black people as apes in his video on Saturday, saying that it “wasn’t a racist story but it sounded terrible.
