Joe Rogan once again courted controversy this week when he questioned the racial identity of a prominent African-American professor, saying it was “very strange” that anyone would call themselves Black unless they’re from the “darkest place” of Africa.

“What did Michael Eric Dyson call you? A mean, angry white man?!” Rogan wondered aloud, referencing a 2018 debate that featuredfor “whining” about how repressed he was despite his personal success. Peterson, for his part, took issue with Dyson highlighting his race, insisting “that’s a lie” to call him white.From there, Rogan and Peterson went back and forth over their own relative lack of whiteness—all while asserting that the African-American Dyson isn’t Black because his skin color isn’t dark enough.
“Well, isn’t that weird,” he stated. “The Black and white thing is so strange because the shades are such a spectrum of shades of people. Unless you are talking to someone who is, like, 100 percent African from the darkest place where they are not wearing any clothes all day and they have developed all of that melanin to protect themselves from the sun, even the term Black is weird.
