Talk show host and comedian Trevor Noah appeared annoyed following comments made by podcaster Joe Rogan Wednesday.
“The Daily Show” host was reacting to Rogan’s statements that were made in the fourth hour of his show on Tuesday regarding race and color.
“The Black and white thing is so strange because the shades are such a spectrum of shades of people.”
“Oh my God! I’m not Black! I’m not Black! Joe Rogan’s right! I’m like a Caramel Mocha Frappuccino,” Noah joked before running off the set, pretending to be chased by the police.
“The police said I’m Black,” Noah said with a straight face as the camera panned back to him.
Rogan’s conversation with clinical psychologist and YouTube personality Jordan Peterson also addressed the origins of Africans.
“Unless you are talking to someone who is, like, 100% 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,” Rogan stated.
“The things these guys seem to be ignoring is that Black people didn’t call themselves Black,” Noah said. “You understand that, right? It’s not like Black people were like, ‘We’re Black.’ No. In Africa, we have tribes; we have cultures. Zulu, Xhosa, Baganda, Igbo, Wakandans!”
