Joe Rogan under fire for claiming \u201cwoke\u201d culture will silence straight white men YouTube: PowerfulJREJoe Rogan has been widely mocked on social media after he claimed that if \u201cwoke\u201d culture went too far, it would silence straight white men. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is among the biggest podcasts on the internet. In its 10-year-long run, the YouTube channel has accumulated over 10 million subscribers, hosting a range of influential guests. However, his opinions often spark controversy online. His latest episode, with guest Joe List, in which he discusses the role of \u201cwoke\u201d culture, has launched a wave of mockery and outraged comments on Twitter. In episode 1651 of the podcast, he said \u201cYou can never be \u2018woke\u2019 enough, that\u2019s the problem\u2026It keeps going. It keeps going further and further and further down the line, and if you get to the point where you capitulate, where you agree to all these demands.\u201d Topic starts at 4:48 \u201cIt\u2019ll eventually get to straight white men are not allowed to talk. Because it\u2019s your privilege to express yourself when other people of color have been silenced throughout history.\u201d Twitter reacts Users on Twitter, however, were particularly unhappy with this take from Rogan, and responses mocking his statement garnered thousands upon thousands of likes and retweets. Twitter user Elie Mystal earned well over 11,000 likes on a tweet that read: \u201cCan Joe Rogan point to one day in American history where straight white men shut the f**k up? If you start the clock in 1787 they\u2019ve had roughly 85,500 opportunities to give it a rest for A DAY, and have never ONCE let the goddamn Earth spin without offering an opinion.\u201d Can Joe Rogan point to one day in American history where straight white men shut the fuck up?
