India Arie backtracks, says Joe Rogan 'consciously racist'
India Arie now says that Joe Rogan was "being consciously racist" with his repeated use of racial slurs, which she had shared out in a video earlier this month.
"If you know you're doing it, and you keep doing it, I would say that is a racist," Arie said Monday during an interview with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."
"For me, when I think about Joe Rogan, I think that he is being consciously racist," the "Brown Skin" singer said.
"I think he knew there was no context. I think that's why he was saying it because he got a rise out of people - that's 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," Arie, 46, told Noah.
