=== Why Black People Use That Word (03:32) ===

[00:00:00]  Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
[00:00:01]  We got a damn good show.
[00:00:03]  I'm about to show you this message.
[00:00:05]  It's a beautiful message, man.
[00:00:07]  It's a beautiful message.
[00:00:08]  And I think, I mean, I say it, but when I say it, we're joking, but we shouldn't say it either.
[00:00:13]  Yeah, an N-word.
[00:00:14]  Yeah, I've been sitting here in the last couple of videos because it just sounds funny.
[00:00:19]  But I really shouldn't be using that word.
[00:00:22]  Yeah, in my opinion, and I've always said there's no black guy.
[00:00:26]  Yeah.
[00:00:26]  Nobody should use that word.
[00:00:28]  Right?
[00:00:29]  But for some reason, the black community thinks they've taken that name and turned it into a term of endearment, which is crazy as hell.
[00:00:37]  Because I know white people, when white people like crazy as hell, these niggas calling each other niggas.
[00:00:46]  I know white people's like, man, this is just bizarre.
[00:00:49]  It is.
[00:00:50]  I said that wrong.
[00:00:51]  What?
[00:00:52]  Maybe a racist white man would say these niggas calling each other niggas.
[00:00:56]  White people look back.
[00:00:58]  Wow, black people calling each other the n-word.
[00:01:01]  That's how I should have said it.
[00:01:03]  That's like an oxymoron when I said, wow, these niggas calling each other.
[00:01:10]  You know what the racist white people are thinking?
[00:01:12]  I taught these niggas good.
[00:01:16]  Right, right.
[00:01:17]  What do you call that?
[00:01:18]  Stockholm synchro?
[00:01:19]  It's something like that.
[00:01:20]  Something like that.
[00:01:21]  But I'm going to show you the video.
[00:01:22]  And no, check it out.
[00:01:24]  Check out the video.
[00:01:25]  Story.
[00:01:25]  Just yesterday, a young black guy on my job, around 27 years old.
[00:01:30]  He called me the N-word.
[00:01:31]  And I got upset.
[00:01:31]  And I told him, I want him, don't call me the N-word.
[00:01:33]  So he didn't quite understand why I was upset about him calling me the N-word.
[00:01:37]  And I said, let me tell you a little story.
[00:01:39]  I said, back in the early 1980s, my parents moved us to an all-white town in North Carolina.
[00:01:44]  I was around 12 years old.
[00:01:45]  Okay.
[00:01:46]  And with them days that moved to this town, we saw Ku Kuck Klan newsletters and all kind of crap in our front yard every day.
[00:01:53]  Okay.
[00:01:54]  So my brother, my younger brother and I, we were like, why would our parents move us to an all-white town like this?
[00:01:58]  We didn't understand.
[00:02:00]  So, but in the midst of all that, you know, I met two cool little white dudes and they told me where I can go ride my BMX bike and skateboard and all this kind of stuff.
[00:02:07]  Anyway, I went there, had a good time, and I left.
[00:02:10]  And when I left there, I was by myself riding my bike back home.
[00:02:15]  I was riding.
[00:02:16]  All of a sudden, a car jumped the curve.
[00:02:17]  It was two older white men took out the car and said, where you going, N-word?
[00:02:23]  I looked and they said, take your ass back where you come from, you little N-word.
[00:02:28]  And the taller one, he took and looked at.
[00:02:30]  You better not call it.
[00:02:32]  I don't care if you black, Puerto Rican.
[00:02:34]  I don't care if you black as the ace of spades.
[00:02:36]  You call me to whoop your ass.
[00:02:38]  He can whoop your ass.
[00:02:39]  What happened to him when he was 12 with them white people?
[00:02:41]  He's going to take it all.
[00:02:42]  Your black ass.
[00:02:45]  But that's a lot of wisdom in what he's saying.
[00:02:47]  There's a lot of wisdom, man.
[00:02:48]  It's a beautiful message.
[00:02:49]  Nobody should be saying that.
[00:02:51]  Even black people.
[00:02:52]  And black people, everybody needs to hear this message.
[00:02:55]  I understand why white supremacists use that term, but I never understand why black people use that as a term of endearment.
[00:03:03]  It just boggles my mind.
[00:03:05]  You know what?
[00:03:06]  He grew up in North Carolina.
[00:03:07]  We grew up like maybe an hour from North Carolina.
[00:03:10]  And we grew up in Marnsville, Virginia.
[00:03:11]  And he brought up the Klan.
[00:03:13]  Every year, annually, the Klan would walk down the main street in our city.
[00:03:18]  The Ku Klux Klan.
[00:03:20]  Yeah.
[00:03:20]  And I'm sure he's seen it too because he's, oh no, he might be a little bit older than us.
[00:03:24]  It looks like we're about the same age.
[00:03:26]  Around 50.
[00:03:27]  But anyway, and I ain't 50.
[00:03:28]  What the hell are you talking about?
[00:03:29]  I'm 35.
[00:03:30]  I'm 37.
[00:03:31]  No, we're 35.
[00:03:32]  Yeah, yeah.

=== Growing Up With White Supremacy (01:40) ===

[00:03:33]  What the hell you talking about?
[00:03:34]  I'm 35.
[00:03:34]  I ain't 50.
[00:03:35]  But anyway, and so I know exactly what he went through.
[00:03:39]  I mean, we grew up in the south, too, Virginia, and I got called that a lot by way that happened.
[00:03:43]  I walked up the street.
[00:03:45]  I was going to go play with my friend G.B. Hopkins.
[00:03:48]  And I was walking by this house.
[00:03:49]  And there was a rebel flag front out front.
[00:03:52]  There's a bunch of rednecks out there drinking with mullets, drinking Paps Blue Ribbon Beer.
[00:03:57]  One of them had this big ass great day.
[00:03:59]  I thought he was gonna stick that big ass dog on me.
[00:04:01]  That dog look like a damn deer.
[00:04:02]  It was huge, right?
[00:04:04]  And they looked at me.
[00:04:04]  I was scared.
[00:04:05]  He said, you know what that white man told me?
[00:04:08]  You know what he told me?
[00:04:09]  What did he tell you, man?
[00:04:10]  Because he knew who I was.
[00:04:12]  He knew I was going to go play with his.
[00:04:14]  Well, he knew of GB.
[00:04:16]  He didn't really know.
[00:04:17]  But anyway, he knew who I was.
[00:04:19]  He said, get your green-eyed spear-chucking ass up the street.
[00:04:27]  Shit, crazy, right?
[00:04:29]  It's a crazy world, man.
[00:04:31]  And then GB Hopkins, underneath him, he had this big fat white girl that went to school with me.
[00:04:35]  Well, she was old.
[00:04:36]  She was in high school.
[00:04:37]  And she wanted to molest me.
[00:04:42]  I grew up in a crazy white side of town.
[00:04:44]  Instead of growing with the poor black side of town, I grew up in the poor white side of town, which is 100 times better.
[00:04:55]  Hey, what did GB do, man?
[00:04:56]  Did he stand up for you?
[00:04:58]  I went to his house.
[00:04:58]  He wasn't even home.
[00:05:00]  It was next door.
[00:05:01]  Man, you a dumbass nigga.
[00:05:03]  Could have lost your life.
[00:05:07]  Stupid.
[00:05:07]  Did you just.
[00:05:08]  The whole point of this video is to stop saying the word.
[00:05:12]  You don't sense the sarcasm?
