She also posted a compilation of clips to her <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/instagram\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> account of Rogan, who is also under fire for promoting vaccine misinformation on his popular podcast, using the N-word more than 20 times. Rogan subsequently issued an apology, calling the compilation \u201cthe most regretful and shameful thing that I\u2019ve ever had to talk about publicly\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">Noah had previously devoted a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/culture\/2022\/feb\/08\/trevor-noah-joe-rogan-n-word\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"noopener\">15-minute segment<\/a> to the controversy around Rogan\u2019s apology and continued support on Spotify, in which he concluded Rogan was \u201cusing racism to be entertaining\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">Arie delineated between \u201cconscious\u201d and \u201cunconscious\u201d racism, offering \u201cforgiveness\u201d for the latter, and also arrived at the conclusion that for Joe Rogan, \u201che is being consciously racist\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">\u201cI think he was saying it because it got a rise out of people,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s why he would say it. He knew that it was inappropriate. And I think the fact that he did it repeatedly and was conscious and knew, I think that is being racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">Arie said she was initially inclined to give Rogan the benefit of the doubt with his apology, since \u201che tried\u201d, but \u201cwhen I go deeper and ask myself what I really think from my commitment to truth that I\u2019ve made this last year, what I really think is that he was being consciously racist and it makes me wonder what he talks like behind closed doors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">\u201cI don\u2019t think being a racist makes you a bad person, necessarily,\u201d she later added. \u201cIt makes you a person who was raised in our society. But when does it cross over into being a bad person, or being harmful?<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">\u201cYou have racist thoughts that you can institute with power, and that\u2019s racism,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd so if you\u2019re Joe Rogan and you have this huge listening audience, by you doing that, you embolden them to do that. And now we\u2019re in trouble as a society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">Noah expounded on this view, and wondered aloud if society could cultivate compassion for redemption. \u201cI think we should all be able to critique, criticize, talk shit and still live in a world where you go, even thought you fucked up I still don\u2019t want you to be ostracized into a world that will encourage that behavior only,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe that\u2019s how I see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">\u201cThat\u2019s how I see it, too,\u201d Arie responded, though she doubted Rogan \u201cfully understands what he did there\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1obw15y\">The singer noted the barrage of racial slurs from his fans in her DMs. \u201cJoe Rogan needs to do more than just go, \u2018Oh yeah, I\u2019m sorry,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cIf you want to really lead your listeners down a new path, then lead them! To the point where they don\u2019t feel that is the right language to come in my DMs and call me an \u2018N-word\u2019 in defense of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/culture\/2022\/feb\/15\/jimmy-kimmel-super-bowl-cryptocurrency-late-night\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Kimmel Jimmy Kimmel celebrated Super Bowl Sunday, \u201cAKA cryptocurrency awareness day\u201d, on Monday evening, a day after the LA Rams topped the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20. \u201cIt\u2019s all crypto now, even the half-time show \u2013 Bloods versus the Cryptos,\u201d he joked, referring to plethora of advertisements for cryptocurrencies. \u201cIt was crypto and Peacock [NBC\u2019s streaming [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[36],"tags":[5128,2657,52,88,5126,5127,5129,2875,1108],"class_list":["post-7999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cryptocurrency","tag-awareness","tag-bowl","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-day","tag-jimmy","tag-kimmel","tag-latenight","tag-roundup","tag-super"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7999"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8000,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7999\/revisions\/8000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
