Joe Rogan: ‘Very Strange’ to Call People Black Unless They’re From ‘Darkest Place’ of Africa

Then they tell you that YOU have moved right.

 

I was my family's target and, to this day, they say that I'm crazy and lying. I get why my parents would reinvent history but I don't get why my younger siblings, who were also verbally and physically (just to a lesser degree and frequency than me) stand with that lie.

However, I also understand that our parents are very powerful voices in our life so the fact that I have always been there for my siblings (racing to the house whenever they called and got them out of there with the 'rents were being psycho) so I am able to accept that.

Also, our parents are wealthy and I'm not materialistic. They told me that I was disinherited when they threw me out two weeks after my high school graduation. I didn't care then. I don't care now. Our father passed away right before Father's Day last year and I received some paperwork from the attorney about his estate and a *reminder* that I get nothing. Still don't care. I'd trade private school, free access to credit cards, a car at 16 and all the designer crap in the Universe to have had one parent give a damn about me.

I will never care about selling my soul to evil and my values are not negotiable.

Spoiler alert: Many of us didn't have our mommy hug us enough. We don't walk around being self-absorbed, selfish, whiny idiots constantly. He's what? 409 years old? That's more than enough time to get some professional help and not pass that toxicity to other people (the American public that are perfectly happy with being lied to and exploited for some bizarre reason I don't understand).

If we, as a society, agree there are certain rules we all agree to abide by to enjoy the value of what we all contribute to our communities...there is no sane or rational reason to expect **ANYONE** to be subjected to a completely separate and often unethical set of those rules. Nobody on the planet could possibly think he is not a criminal, crook, pathological liar and idiot. Sure, they can ignore it or pretend it's not there but that's their choice to remain willfully ignorant and/or excuse all the crimes and abject dereliction of duties as POTUS.

Back when I was a kid, I got slapped or beat for asking **anything** about religious teachings I didn't understand.

"Who did Cain and Abel marry to have kids?"
"How did Noah get two of every species on a boat?"
"If we are *all* God's children, why do we need religious leaders in order to talk to him?"
"Why did God create hatred?"
"Why didn't God, alleged omniscient, know that people would fight about its interpretation?" Did he not make any editors?

And, although I have never heard any believer offer any kind of reasonable answer to those questions (and others) I had, what I remember about asking them aloud is a direct link to a non-answer and physical and verbal violence.


Therefore, the issue I have with Orange Jesus apologists is NOT that they support a psychopath but their only response to the hard questions is verbal abuse and anger. They rationalize until the end of time but why is that shrouded in anger?

• Why are we punished for asking about whatever deity and his alleged teachings?
• Why are we punished for asking them about their deity and his toxicity?

• Why are we expected to believe that God is in control of everything but had nothing to do with creating murderers, rapists or pedophiles?
• Why are we expected to believe that Trump was in control of everything but had nothing to do with unabated COVID and the Capitol riot?

• Why are we expected to believe that God made us all equal, but some of us are "more equal" than others?
• Why are we expected to believe that Trump represented us all as POTUS, but he represents his people "more"?

• Why are we expected to believe that God commands us to worship him and he has a jacked-up temper when he's not getting attention?
• Why are we expected to believe that Trump commands us to worship him and he has a jacked-up temper when he's not getting attention?

• Why are we expected to believe that God loves us when some of us needed his help and he didn't answer?
• Why are we expected to believe that Trump loved us when some of us needed his help and he didn't answer?

**The ONLY time that Trump has said "love" was in connection to his meeting with the NK leader, Kim Jong-un and the Capitol rioters.

I know they have no rational or reasonable (or even legal) explanations for why they turn a blind eye to how he is a traitor to our country because I'm not unwilling to talk to people that I don't agree with and/or don't agree with me.

Just as I never excluded my ex when the SHTF in our divorce, I've been excluded from our kids' lives with the exception of 3 visits per year. I remain cordial to my ex and have always been despite the reasons for our divorce and that's because my love for my children eclipses every other emotion within me.

I'm not running away from listening to them.

I'm not running away from anything they have to say to make sense of this horror show Trump has laid at our feet with the exception of being disrespected and attacked.

They aren't saying much outside of that. I don't worship people or imaginary friends in the sky. If your only response to being asked a reasonable question is to verbally blast me, your position can't be that solid. That's not a difficult concept.

 

Sounds like they might have been correct. Just sayin'.

 

Do you think that is an appropriate comment?

 

How Leftists fall towards talking about Trump on virtually every topic is crazy. Here they are again and they think they are the sane ones as they spout off ridiculous propaganda and beliefs that they cannot substantiate.

 

You do know that is indeed the case in some parts of Africa, right?

 

I think what he's saying is 'black' is technically innaccurate. The difference between 'black' and 'brown' and 'dark' and 'people of color' and etc is all entirely subjective. There's people who identify as 'other than black' that are darker than others who identify as 'black'. I can see why some people would think thats weird...

I mean, I'm like a few % non-white. What does it matter? It doesn't make me different than darker skinned europeans like Italians or Spaniards, nor does it make me different from lighter skinned 'pure-blood' europeans like Norwegians either.

Im not sure what precisely is your beef here...

 

Here's more complete context:

“What did Michael Eric Dyson call you? A mean, angry white man?” Rogan asked Mr Peterson, who confirmed that is what he had been called — though Mediaite states the exact quote was: “You’re a mean, mad white man.”

“Hilarious. You’re not mean at all. That’s what’s dumb about that statement. You’re not mean at all,” Rogan responded.

“I am white — actually that’s a lie too. I am kind of tan. And he was actually not Black, he was sort of brown,” Mr Peterson replied.

“If you’re tan then what the f*** am I. Because I’m darker than you. That’s ridiculous,” Rogan exclaimed.

“Neither of us are white,” Mr Peterson replied, reiterating that Professor Dyson was “brown, not Black”.

“Well, isn’t that weird. The Black and white thing is so strange because the shades are such a spectrum of shades of people,” said Rogan.

He then added: “Unless you are talking to someone who is, like, 100 per cent African from the darkest place, where they are not wearing any clothes all day and they have developed all of that melanin to protect themselves from the sun, even the term Black is weird. When you use it for people who are literally my colour, it becomes very strange.”

 

Rogan's audience is massive and easily dwarfs the audiences of the lying fake news, so, we have folks on the Left and in the Biden Administration, deliberately slandering him, trying to cancel him, and calling for censorship.

​

Some of the Left tend to hold Americans in disdain, have no interest in their views or opinions and desire dictatorial power over them. Well, quite appropriately, when we Americans have a choice, we choose something other than Leftists who engage in this dismissiveness of us, and this part of the Left's response is not reflection and reform, no, their response is cancelling, deplatforming and censorship.

If other platforms like Spotify remain free to arise and publish, it may not become necessary to break up the major media companies, however, government entities coordinating with private actors to censor, is prohibited censorship and when it occurs, it important that their censorious asses get hauled right into court.

 

The point is Rogan is trusted by his viewers. People want to spend 3 hours listening to interesting, open ended conversations. He's bypassed the media to do this-which Trump does as well. Its actually revolutionary.

The msm is crap. It's circling the drain, is not trusted, and has ever decreasing audience size. It's there to spin and push an agenda much like the intended hit piece in the OP.

 

What do you call the guy with the mask?

 

Lol on Democrat Underground they are calling Rogan the "Next Generations Rush Limbaugh".

 

I can't stand Rogan, but it's patently obvious he's talking about MELANIN. "Darkest" meaning the darkest skin tone, and "no clothes" refers to level of sun exposure.

He's pointing out the fact that very few people of African descent actually have black skin. And he's right .. it's rare. In fact there are probably more people in India with black skin.

 

If he really wanted to know, he could have looked it up.

 

India:



Africa:

 

Logic according to Steve.

Your post are like a sweet little cookie with my coffee. Puts a smile on my face.

Just as you are wrong in this, you are wrong in your OP. What Rogan said is not racist. Even other people in this thread that lean left admit that. Why can't you? Are you that hard up to try and "one up" those on the right that defend him? All that it takes to understand its not racist is to understand context and some comprehension of what he was talking about. Rather than kneejerk emotionalism.

 

Giddeyup to that!!

 

The people in that top photo are considered Caucasian iirc.

 

True...

 

Yeah, that always seems a bit weird.

Meantime .. they're often blacker than those we call black, yet they're called 'brown'. Go figure!

 

blacks often treat other blacks differently, based on the shade of their skin. Rogan is right. It's called skin deep discrimination.

 

It's true.

 

Sigh ...

You always misinterpret comments. This is SOOOOO not about who or what I like. Is it a simple reading comprehension issue, or are you projecting? Do you base all your decisions on emotions? Is that why you seem to think that everyone else does? Really wondering about that ...

 

Neo Maoist? Seriously?

I feel no outrage and have expressed none, neo Maoist or otherwise. Keep your spin to yourself. I started this thread to point out that Rogan, so admired by so many, is either racist, clueless, or both. I stand by that logical conclusion based on Rogan's own words. This isn't about me.
