Noah blatantly called out Rogan for being irresponsible and in his own words, explained how these people who use the N-word with whatever context must either stop using it or just accept that they are racists because the Black people do not have the time and energy to sit down and dissect the context in which these people said these thing. They are already going through a lot.
