(Hannah Nightingale) On Tuesday, The Daily Show host Trevor Noah blasted Joe Rogan’s apology video in which he discusses his prior use of the N-word slur, despite Noah himself releasing a similar statement years ago for anti-semitic Twitter posts.

“Even though Rogan apologized, this was strange. A lot of people were arguing sort of against his apology, saying that the N-word with context is totally fine for a white person to say, yeah, you know, and I understand what they’re saying, like, you know, maybe your professor teaching history. Maybe you’re a news anchor reporting on a story about Joe Rogan. Maybe you’re in a Quentin Tarantino movie, and you have to use the N-word because if you don’t, then the movie has no dialogue,” said Noah.

“For the most part, as a white person, you never need to use the N-word. Don’t, like, need — for example, I’ve gone this entire story saying the N word. And everyone has understood exactly what I’ve meant, right?” he continued.

Noah continued on to give a “life hack” for white people: “saying the actual N word puts you in unnecessary trouble. Especially if you’re not racist.”

He added that the context doesn’t matter because black people “don’t have the time” to sit and sort through instances of a racist saying the word and a non-racist saying the word.

“Just stop saying it, or just be racist. It’s easier for everyone that way,” Noah said.

Noah continued on to say that he is “glad” Rogan learned his lesson about saying the word, but began picking apart the second part of his apology in which he talks about an instance where he suggested black people are apes.

“I did not nor would I ever say that black people are apes, but it sure can sounded like that,” Rogan said in his apology, elaborating that he was describing the situation as Planet of the Apes because there were a lot of black people there.

“But then I went on to talk about what a positive experience it was and how much fun it was to go to see this movie in a black neighborhood. It wasn’t a racist story, but it sounded terrible. It’s an idiotic thing to say. And I was just trying to be entertaining,” Rogan continued.

“All right, I’m not gonna lie. I have a few issues with this part of the video,” Noah said in response.

Noah went on to say that despite Rogan’s apology saying he would never call black people apes, but “that’s literally what he said.”

“And it’s not just racist. Like, let’s be honest, but it’s not just — That’s like, OG racism. That’s like, like the original old school, like that’s on the Mount Rushmore of racism. You know, ‘black people are apes.’ It’s right next to burning crosses. And then like every Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 1940s,”

He continued on to take issue with Rogan’s statement that he wasn’t trying to be racist, he was trying to be entertaining.

“No, Joe, I think you were using racism to be entertaining. I’m not saying you were trying to offend black people, by the way, but you knew that offending black people would get a laugh out of those white friends that you were with.

He said that while he loves jokes, being a comedian, “But just because something is a joke, doesn’t mean it can’t be something else as well because a joke can be racist. Right? In fact, a joke can be racist and funny if you’re telling it to the right crowd.”

Noah has issued his own statement in the past saying some of his jokes that were anti-semitic we’re not a “reflection of his character,” in a similar vein as Rogan’s apology video.

In March of 2015, Noah, who then had recently been named as Jon Stewart’s successor on The Daily Show, issued an apology for a number of tweets he published between 2009 and 2014.

“To reduce my views to a handful of jokes that didn’t land is not a true reflection of my character, nor my evolution as a comedian,” wrote Noah.

One of these tweets, according to Rolling Stone, said: “Behind every successful Rap Billionaire is a double as rich Jewish man. #BeatsByDreidel.”

Another, from 2012, stated: “Messi gets the ball and the real players try to foul him, but Messi doesn’t go down easy, just like jewish chicks.”

In one from 2009, Noah wrote: “Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn’t look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!”

The tweets have all since been deleted from Noah’s page.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
