It's crazy that the word is available for sale.
And I'm kind of all over the place here.
And I'm not defending anybody for saying it.
I mean, it's, you know, you hear it, I hear it all the time.
I hear it all the time. You hear it from people.
And these days, when I was young, you would hear it.
Well, I guess I would hear it when I was young, growing up, from people that
were racist.
And I would hear it from music, you know, NWA and so it's weird because it's
like a word that's used in hip-hop culture, you know, with the A at the end.
And so it's just, it's interesting.
And I don't want to be afraid to, like, think about things, you know.
But one thing that really made me upset about the N-word is the way that media
outlets cover it.
And the way that media outlets cover it.
So somebody says it, right?
They take it and they make articles that say at the top.
And these are outlets that would never even probably cover the person that, if
there's a famous person that says it.
You know, you can be a white dude in a starter jacket and say it all day.
You could be 6'9 and say it all day, you know.
But if you're popular and you say it, the media, they cramp down on you.
And what gets me is that they use it.
The media puts N-word in the title of articles.
So they get you to go click on it.
And then you're reading the article, you're watching it or whatever it is.
So they are making money off of it.
And, man, that burns me up to think that because then you and I bet if you
follow the companies who are earning money from the clicks and the people
watching or reading, I bet it leads right to white pockets.
I guarantee you that.
So, man, it's just crazy that people that would never even cover this artist at
all or this celebrity at all.
Suddenly, they're writing articles that are clickable that they're making money
on.
So they're basically making money off of the N-word.
They're making money off of it.
And, man, that really, I mean, that just, man, that just makes me mad, bro.
That makes me just mad, dude.
Make me feel like a damn, just like six badgers are climbing up and down my
spine.
You want to know what a badger sounds like?
I'll tell you.
And let's get to the angry one.
Here he comes.
That's what it makes me feel like.
You know, because you have companies that don't care.
And now, so they're basically, they are using the N-word to make money.
And that's, man, that burns me up.
It just burns me up.
And I think it should burn anybody up.
You know?
Yeah, and it's kind of wild in the media.
Like, somebody can apologize for saying something they shouldn't.
Somebody can apologize for using a racial slur.
But the media, they don't want apology.
Somebody can say, well, I'll do better.
But that's not enough for them.
They want to just roast you.
They want to take over.
They want to, they want you to burn.
And that's just wild to me.
Like, don't we, no matter what someone does, don't we want them to have a, don't
we want them to feel, you know, you want someone to feel reprimanded.
Don't you want something, don't, like, what if it was your kid that did it?
Like, it's just crazy people would ostracize so much and just denounce.
Like, there's, you are worthless.
And, uh, like, what do they want you to kill yourself?
What do they want?
Do they want you to lose your own life by your own hand?
By a dagger?
By a sword?
You know?
I just don't understand sometimes.
Because somebody's saying they'll do better.
I mean, it's, but I guess, you know, you need to believe them.
But, man.
And then what if, and, and what if, don't the, any of these writers who write
these articles, what if your kid does something wrong one day?
What if your husband, your brother, your, what if someone you, do you want them
to be burned like that?
I just don't, I, I don't know.
And then it's wild that they'll say, you know, it's like they shouldn't, we
should, they should just get rid of the word.
They should get rid of the word.
Because, you can buy it online.
I mean, websites, Apple Music, some of these, whatever platform, they're making
money.
You could go listen to it, you could buy it.
Maybe white people shouldn't be allowed to buy stuff with the word in it.
Because if you sell somebody enough produce, you know, and sometimes a
strawberry rolls out their mouth, you can't be shocked.
But you're the one vending it to them.
And I'm not saying that's the case in this instance exactly.
I'm not saying that.
But I'm saying that that's a real thing.
You know, and I think there's a lot of people out there of color who feel the
same way.
Who are just tired of the music that's like, you know, kill these N words and
all this shit.
It's just, it's, I don't know.
And look, I'm just a white person, so I only have my experience.
You know, I grew up around a lot of black people.
I used to be in a group called NFL.
And I can't say the whole name of the group, but I can say for life.
Dude, I used to ride my bike in the school in the morning.
And Johnny Smith and the boys, they would come and jump on my bike.
And they would call me a bus when I'd come in.
They would call me the N-word bus.
Hey, here comes the N-word bus.
And they would all pile on my bike.
And I'd be sitting there just rolling.
Just a damn, I mean, literally the basketball team deep.
And I would just, you know, man, dude, my quads was beefy, son.
My quads was beefy.
You know what I'm saying?
Damn chicka for later.
You know it.
And they would call me the N-word bus.
Here come the N-word bus.
And my parents didn't say it.
You know.
My dad said it one time.
A black guy stabbed him with a screwdriver and he said it.
So I'll be honest.
But, um, I don't know, man.
Some of it, you know, it's, it's just like, there's just a lot of red tape out
there.
But then, look, that's only my perspective.
And I'm not saying that it's right, but I don't want to feel like I can't think
and talk about it.
Um, because I also know that it's a hurtful word.
You know, uh, but I also know that the media just, there's no court of law.
There's just, there's no examination of that kind of thing of, of what was
going on, you know?
Hope you enjoyed that video and you can watch another.
And you can watch this one.
You can watch this one.
Different options, different choices.
Some guy just brings you one option, not this guy.
Two options.
Watch one.
This one or this one.
