The comments and Spotify’s willingness to provide a platform for such rhetoric are “deeply disturbing," David Johns, executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, said in an e-mailed statement last week. In that conversation, Rogan said it’s “very strange" that anyone would call themselves Black unless they’re from the “darkest place" of Africa. Rogan, 54, was criticized last month after his interview with Jordan Peterson, a conservative YouTube personality. For me, it’s also his language around race."

However, I find Joe Rogan problematic for reasons other than his Covid interviews.
