Dwayne Johnson Reverses His Decision To Support Joe Rogan
On February 6, singer India Arie shared some clips from Joe Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, in which he used the N-word. Furthermore, Rogan was seen comparing Black neighborhoods to “Planet of the Apes” in one of the videos. After Dwayne found out the details, he walked back to his support for Rogan while responding to a tweet from author Don Winslow.
Don Winslow took to Twitter and tweeted, “Dear @TheRock, You’re a hero to many people and using your platform to defend Joe Rogan, a guy who used and laughed about the N-word dozens of times, is a terrible use of your power. Have you listened to what he says about Black people?” The author even tagged Dwayne Johnson in the post.

Dear @TheRock,
You’re a hero to many people and using your platform to defend Joe Rogan, a guy that used and laughed about using the N word dozens of times, is a terrible use of your power.
Have you actually listened to this man’s many racist statements about Black people?
