The Guardian reports:
The podcast host Joe Rogan has offered “sincere and humble apologies” after footage emerged of him repeatedly using the N-word on his hit show. The comedian said it was the “most regretful and shameful thing” he has ever had to speak about, but stressed the clips were “taken out of context”.
“There’s a video that’s out, that’s a compilation of me saying the N-word. It’s a video that’s made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it’s all smushed together, and it looks fuckin’ horrible, even to me.”
“Now I know that to most people there’s no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that.”

“Whenever you’re in a situation where you have to say ‘I’m not racist’, you fucked up”https://t.co/xoZ8T2lDTC
