    If you continually host a string of guests who are white supremacists and racists -- what does that make you?

    Deleted Joe Rogan episode featured guest claiming Black people had a genetic ‘proclivity to violence’

    A deleted episode of The Joe Rogan Podcast is being criticised again for featuring a guest who claimed Black people had a genetic “proclivity to violence”.

    A 2015 episode which has now been archived by Spotify featured an interview with far-right political activist Chuck C. Johnson – a notorious troll who was de-platformed by Twitter in the same year.

    It comes after medical experts alleged Rogan’s podcast is spreading “societally harmful” Covid-19 disinformation, while past use of racial slurs in his show has also been criticised.

    Spotify recently removed 110 episodes of the podcast following criticism, including the one featuring a discussion with the aforementioned Johnson.



    Johnson appeared on the programme and spoke about the “MAOA gene” and claimed that it impacts behaviour in Black people, saying: “It’s like a proclivity to violence that they have.”

    An unearthed clip sees Johnson add: “I recommend people Google it and do their own research. It’s like a big debate… if you think about white, European, Asian ancestors as we moved out of Africa, aggression and violence was less necessary as they were all farmers and stuff.”

    Dr. Paige Harden, who is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas-Austin, previously told NBC News that Johnson's understanding of the MAO-A gene is "wrong on basically every level that it's possible to be wrong."

    "Work (on the MAO-A gene) has now been largely discredited because we now know that human behaviours are not influenced by single genes with large effects — they are influenced by lots and lots and lots — think thousands — of genetic variants, each of which has a tiny effect," Harded said. "Bottom line: MAO-A likely doesn't matter for aggression or antisocial behaviour."

    It comes after the CEO of Spotify recently admitted he finds some of Joe Rogan’s content “very offensive”, with musicians pulling their music from the streaming platform over the controversy.

    The stricter copyright rules snuck in one of Trump's bills (CARES I think) allows big biz to have content creators pull their videos exposing their dirt. This let's them clean their content as if nothing happened. Fox is notorious for this.
