The fallout from controversies surrounding “The Joe Rogan Experience” continues as numerous people chime in with their viewpoints. Rogan’s podcast has come under fire for the opinions of a few guests and also the host’s use of racist language, which the comedian recently apologized for. Certain episodes of the show have been removed from Spotify, and Neil Young had his music removed from the streaming giant in protest to what he called “misinformation” in regards to vaccines.
Disturbed singer David Draiman has now weighed in after host of “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah, called out Rogan on the Comedy Central show. Noah said, “First of all, he said he would never say that black people are apes, but he said that. That’s literally what he said. It’s not just racist. That’s O.G. racism. That’s the original, old-school racism. That’s on the Mount Rushmore of racism. ‘Black people are apes’ is right next to burning crosses and every Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 1940s.” Noah said that he found Rogan’s assertion that he wasn’t being “racist” but just “being entertaining” particularly “illuminating.”
“No, Joe, I think you were using racism to be entertaining,” Noah said. Even if Rogan wasn’t specifically trying to “offend” black people, Noah said, “you knew that offending black people would get a laugh out of those white friends that you were with.”
Draiman took to Twitter to share a video of Noah’s segment and included a series of screenshots that surfaced when Noah was selected to succeed Jon Stewart as host of the show. Noah’s tweets included jokes about the Jewish race, violence and white women.
“You’re a hypocritical, self righteous, pathetic man @Trevornoah,” Draiman wrote. “The rules should be the same for everyone Be it @joerogan OR @Trevornoah. What I can’t stomach is holier than thou hypocrisy, claiming your sh*t doesn’t stink, but the other guy’s does. I don’t want either cancelled. Make all the jokes you want, but when @Trevornoah thinks his rhetoric is fine, but @joerogan’s isn’t, or he doubts the sincerity of Joe’s apology when Trevor never even offered one, I have no problem calling him (Trevor) out for the self righteous hypocrite he is.”
Draiman recently said he was going to take a more active role in his Twitter account, and that has certainly been the case as he has offered his opinion on various topics including cannabis, women’s rights and anti-semitism.
