Spotify's popular U.S. podcaster Joe Rogan apologized Saturday after a video compilation surfaced that showed him using racial slurs in clips of episodes over a 12-year span.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, Rogan, who hosts a podcast called "The Joe Rogan Experience," said his use of the slurs was the "most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly." But he said the clips were "taken out of context."
"It's not my word to use. I am well aware of that now, but for years I used it in that manner," he said during the six-minute video on his Instagram account. "I never used it to be racist because I'm not racist."

He used the word for YEARS and expects folks to believe he isn't racist or have some internal racism? I don't use the word ever like many others. This doesn't pass the smell test. That being said, I know people can change and am willing to see if he changes his ways. If he continues to be an outlet of misinformation and conspiracy theories then he is all talk.
