Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University, Michael Eric Dyson, appeared on Don Lemon Tonight Wednesday, where he challenged comments made by comedian Joe Rogan on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, on Tuesday. During a conversation with his guest, psychologist and commentator Jordan Peterson, about skin color, specifically Dyson’s skin color, him being a light skinned Black man, Rogan said, “The Black and white thing is so weird because the shades are so — there’s such a spectrum of shades of people. Unless you’re talking to someone who is, like, 100% African, from the darkest place where they're not wearing any clothes all day and they've developed all that melanin to protect themselves from the sun, you know, even the term Black is weird. When you use it for people that are literally my color, it becomes very strange.” Dyson began by explaining to Rogan what Blackness means other than just the color of someone’s skin. “We’re not talking about a genetic predisposition toward darker skin, we're speaking about an existential context,” Dyson said. “We're talking about a philosophical idea. We're speaking about rooted cultures in deep histories that have vast traditions that have generated complicated identities.” Dyson said he had met Rogan when he opened up for Dave Chappelle, and expressed shock that someone who had worked with maybe the most famous Black comedian in the world would harbor such opinions. “Joe Rogan, you're opening up for a guy who has redefined, for many people, Blackness in the last 15 years, and yet you're claiming not to know what Blackness is,” Dyson said. “Yeah, I think that's a deliberate, willful ignorance, and it's the unintentional hilarity of a certain kind of whiteness that refuses to own up to what it is.”
