Yea u call a black person a niqqa if u want,they will be drivin' ur ass to the hospital while they look for your head.

[SteveW7]

The look on Redd Foxx's face makes this whole clip! You can see towards the end that even Lawanda Page is having a hard time not laughing. Definitely up there with infamous wig pulling!

[Gecko7291971]

You could tell that Redd Foxx was about to start busting out laughing @0:17

[Hangman1972]

Words cant hurt but connotations can.

[sunboy4346]

U b a heathen Fred Sanford ! I'm commin Elizabeth, I think it's the BIG One!

[timtaylor2001]

Thats why I wont watch S & S on TV Land because they would edit this episode instead of airing it late in the evening with a "viewer discrestion advised" before the show.

[Kelski1998]

Gotta love Redd Foxx's look after she said it!

[itsmegp46]

The N word was used once on the Jeffersons tv show too. George kicked someone in the butt and he screamed back, WHAT'S WRONG WIT YOU N......?!?

[4ucalistyle]

[wrlord]

You could see Redd was really losing it.

[Martastik7]

Spam that nr2 button

[ChiroQuacker]

genius....bet redd told the nbc censors to fuck off and let it go

nowadays all them ignorant arrogant talentless black rappers use the word NIGGA in every other word of their rap songs

and most black peeps i know call each other nigga all day long

so..eat my ass NIGGA

[finisher3x]

@ChiroQuacker And when you get beat up, don't cry and say . . "but they call each other nigga, why can't I say nigga?"

Because you CAN'T . . that's why.

Only on the "safety" of the internet, can you say it.

[CraCaJaC]

@finisher3x im sorry but to say because yer white or this or that you cant say nigga that's what is wrong with the world,as long as you hold onto the racism it will never die but the more you tell people im black so only i can say it. the more you segregate yerself and yer race because yer basically saying yes its a word but exclusive to only one creed of people? i call bullshit on that and the only reason i do is because i do not live in a segregated world.

[viewmoviesanytime]

@CraCaJaC You can say nigga if you want. You have the freedom of speech. I would not or do not use words like cracker, honky, trailer trash, hick, or any other derogatory racial slurs. I can say the words and use them if I wish. However, I can not even imagine using such words. I choose not to because I am too intelligent to speak so ignorantly, but most importantly I have too much respect for myself and others.

[finisher3x]

@viewmoviesanytime Great answer.

[finisher3x]

@CraCaJaC The real question is . . why do you want to say the word n!gga? You know the history of the word. And if you don't know, all Black people don't approve of that word in any form or spelling being used either.

So why do YOU want to use that word?

To me, that word is the same as a man using the word b!tch in reference to a woman. Women sometimes playfully refer to each other as a b!tch. But as a man, i can't say that word around women, and not expect a negative reaction.

[CraCaJaC]

@finisher3x well being as a kid who grew up with hip hop/rap i heard nigga all the time, i understand the point that some people make about the word nigga but when you say nigga = nigger then you are basically saying that black people call each other a word that was meant to demean them and hold em down. But when i hear the word nigga i do not think nigger because in the words of whoopi im not one,dont know one and ect but the word nigga itself can be a term of endearment But to say.

[CraCaJaC]

@finisher3x that its a word meant to demean black people i think is false now depending on the context maybe but if a man is truly racist he is not gonna call anyone Nigga why? because the word nigga does not bring up the same connotation to people it has nothing to do with why do i want to it has nothing to with wanting to but to say a word cant be used by any race in itself is segregating and demeaning I have used the words but it was with MY friends ect i see ya point but feel me

[viewmoviesanytime]

@CraCaJaC I feel you.

[CraCaJaC]

@finisher3x too say the word nigga is a racist word that Describes black people is false im sorry i guess it jus cant explain it any better than i equate the word to man,dude,dawg ect but i feel everyone elses point but i hope everyone see's mine ima of mixed blood and i jus dont see why people gotta let words segregate us further than what the fuckin media does alrdy, Peace.

[publicatdamagnificen]

SAY WHAT FOOL?

[mess9u2]

That's when TV was TV and TV sitcoms were good and well written! I miss TV today!!! All the reality crap....give me, The Jeffersons, All in the family, Good Times, The Dukes of Hazzard, Threes Company. Today they can swear up a storm but Archie saying "queer" or 'fag", George saying "nigger" at Lionels wedding, God gives us back our freedom! We know it was wrong to call someone that but we are all adults I would think and can understand the meanings it's a damn shame a few cannot!!!

[matt2fresh84]

redd foxx couldnt even hold it in lmao

[sotathug941]

she was mad funny... gotta love her confidence...

[spring95q]

I remember George Jefferson using the N word on the Jeffersons. It was acceptable then...now its taboo and should be.

[420timetoburn]

@spring95q It's not taboo. Niggas call niggas niggas all the time.

[spring95q]

@50guitar this is defenitely no voice over. Its actually one of my fav episodes. This was a time b4 the N word was taboo in the black community.

[MasterKingJC4ever]

This is pre-Stinkmeaner.

[50guitar]

If that wasn't a voice over it's another example of the double standard. How can blacks seriously want non-blacks to stop dropping the "N" bomb when they do it so freely themselves. It's gotten better over the years, but it still exists.

[03030303]

@50guitar

What makes it such a double standard?

The only reason people like you fuss about it is because the word places you in a position where YOU are left out.

You are not a member this time. You are excluded. And you resent it.

[DAngelo136]

@03030303 Here's the key meaning: Nigger is a pejorative; a term used by white people to degrade and put down Black people. In that instance, it highlights and defines the social power structure, not unlike the term "kaffir" or "wog". When used among Black people, there is no indication of a superior/inferior relationship. Basically it is "the pot calling the kettle". But it is still a pejorative term. Put the adjective "black" in front of the word and there would be a fight

[DAngelo136]

@03030303 even if the person using the term was a Black person referring to another Black person. It's all about context. Some Black women will tolerate being called a "bitch", not all, but put the adjective "black" in front of it, be prepared to be in a serious fight. Such is the state of intraracial affairs in the U.S. It is part of the ugly legacy of chattel slavery and racisim.

[aoinatafanboy84]

@50guitar You are right, although it's not a double standard. It's just blatant hypocrisy. Especially since some organizations would go so far as to cry censorship when it is NOT allowed to be said over tv.

[KillSwitch2]

Wow, I remember watching this episode as a child years ago, maybe in the early 80's when I was 5  or 6 and I always thought she said "sucka". I never, ever thought she actually said "N-"

Every single time I've seen this episode she says "Sucka", had no idea it was ever edited.

[stephievon]

she got that one in, hahahaha!!

[zamusicza]

It was and wasn't out of character for Aunt Esther. If he was Lamont's father he was insinuating that her beloved sister Elizabeth was an adulteress. Fred and Esther had their differences but they both came together when it came to their love for Elizabeth.

[bettydaw1970]

we now know who booker T's mom is....

for those of you that dont know who he is,

check out this vid, its a wrestling classic, he accidentally calls hulk hogan a "nigga"

(Booker T says Hulk Hogan is a Nigga)

[scaramoochscaramooch]

I got her autograph ..........in the bay area:)

[breezy501]

I think Mr. Foxx's smile is a real smirk! Great stuff.

[MrCalculus999]

 she never said that

[mssquirrely]

Aunt Esther said what she meant and meant what she said !! Wut !! lmao!!

[keonta81]

they used nigga a few times on the jeffersons too

[peterp21]

I'll tell you, whenever a character on this show or The Jeffersons dropped the N-bomb it always got a huge reaction. Taboo and shock really does drive humor.

[AnimeAngelization]

hahhahhahahahahahahahahahahaha­haahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[catgirlstar101]

to funny xD

[vidmuncher]

WELL.......DAMN

[eazyevan1]

I didn't laugh, the word nigga is as common as milk!! Anybody can say nigga, so what's the big deal?

[zantetsuken1986]

@eazyevan1 Yeah, but back in 1974, it was said by Aunt Esther. Now if you watched Sanford & Son, you would know Aunt E. was a nice, good ole Christian lady.... except for when it comes to Red, lol. But she was nice to everybody, and that kind of language coming from her mouth was just as classic as when Kitty from that 70's Show cursed to her husband.

[musicfan088]

@eazyevan1 Obvious you have never seen Sanford and Son before. Or know anything about the charactors on the show.

[jdrhjr]

Aunt Esther droppin' that n-bomb. What would Jesus say?

[midnightsocietynyc]

For Aunt Ester, that outburst was so out of character. Too damn funny!!!

[Jamsessionroom1337]

Look i'm a racist and i hate the those annoying ass, big lipped, big booty, gangsta acting, monkey looking white people!

>:O

[arnez8706]

Aunt Ester was ready to whoop his ass right then and there

[MsTemptist]

Red Foxx is sooo cute :)

[musicfan088]

@MsTemptist Freds expression at the end of the video was just priceless!

[junkmail5417]

look, I am not a racist, the "N" word is demeaning, but that is funny !

[9476100ParWil]

What episode and what show?!

[burrexkeefAGAIN]

@9476100ParWil Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe. Season 3, Episode 14. 1974. It's here on youtube.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@9476100ParWil

The name of the show is "Sanford & Son" that aired on NBC back in the early 70's, don't know what episode.

[AliYourBrother]

@9476100ParWil Why yall keep saying "THE N WORD?" when there are TWO N words - One is nigga, and one is n--ger.

[CraCaJaC]

@AliYourBrother exactly technically 2 n words maybe more cant forget the nerd's out there much respect LoL but anyways like brother said there is 2 words and very different the Word "Nigger" is the N word no one should say imo period, as far as nigga goes i grew up with the word and which most people of all cultures have. Some black people dont want anyone of any race saying it,others dont care While ta some everyone will always be a nigga so can we really jus grow up and over this? its 2012

[9476100ParWil]

@AliYourBrother Cuz I mothafuckin can

[littlebit19801]

On TV Land they edit the word "Sucka" over "NIgga"

[burrexkeefAGAIN]

@littlebit19801 Yes they do. The reason I posted this clip. I've known this episode since I was a kid and I was sitting right here with the TV on and heard the hack-up. That was a few months ago...the TV went to the curb. Who needs it?

[littlebit19801]

@burrexkeefAGAIN I remember they played the original as it is here on TBS when I was a child.

[Blwx3]

@burrexkeefAGAIN best comment ever posted on Youtube.

[CraCaJaC]

@burrexkeefAGAIN yea its true i grew up watching sanford and son before it was on nick at nite and then i watched it when it went onto nick at nite or whatever and i was like "wait a min she didnt say sucka im pretty sure she said nigga." and even when you see the hack up you still see her mouth nigga not sucka .

[keyofdavid888]

@burrexkeefAGAIN TV is NOTHING like it used to be. Its just trash now and the networks are becoming bankrupt because no one can stomach their garbage anymore, that's why they're attacking the internet now!

[tryby12]

big money grip griff. this was a funny show, its on tv land but they took out nigga.

[Clevinger67]

I remember watching this scene years ago and I laughed so hard I never forgot it. It was such a funny show! Esther was a hilarious character; especially when she and Fred would argue and fight and when she'd push her twerp/wino husband Woodrow around. lol

I just bought Season three of S and S last week and haven't watched all the episodes yet so this one might be on it. 70s television had a wilder edge comedy to it that sadly is gone now.

[Darknight7334]

LOL



[DivinityzBeAsT]

lmaooo

[PrettiGurlSwag26]

Soon as she said NIGGA I busted out laffin.

[TheJRGJR]

@ dolon77 Please use the word KIKE in a sentence. So I, the be all end all of what is acceptable, can give you the proper answer.

[MrTrill1970]

thats great lol!

[highonbetter]

Elizibeth is pure as the driven snow,and Fred was the only driver. I knew Big money grip wasnt lamonts son.

[highonbetter]

Big money Grip. Im curious if this episode got alot of people talking back than? Or is it lik eTosh.o .where everyone laughs after and nobody remembers

[norestrictions12]

What's the name of this episode?

[burrexkeefAGAIN]

@norestrictions12 Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe. Season 3, Episode 14. 1974. It's here on youtube. Watch it!

[africanTHEfire]

priceless!

[WizzoPro9476]

CLASSIC!!!!!!!

[01Christlover]

This was indeed priceless

[iLiveMusic90]

It is amazing to me how often I hear old people complaining about young people using the "N-word" but here we have Methusela herself saying it candidly!

[breannamstewart]

I like the part when Ester told Fred, "Come on Fred, let's beat the hell of him!"

[agip07]

this is why when I heard about funeral for the n word I was like bullshit

[Discoboy504]

This was Pricelesss!!!!

I wish we had Real TV like back in the 70s.

[Discoboy504]

I remember all of these shows aired uncensored back when this was on TV in the 70s. And it was not only no big deal it was funny as hell!!

I want the 70s back. Its been nothing but a bore since those times.

[TheJRGJR]

30+ yrs ago no problem. Today, shit hits the fan. Lighten the fuck up.

[burrexkeefAGAIN]

@TheJRGJR For real.

[nWoFan100]

@TheJRGJR exactly

[headhunternoob]

@TheJRGJR agreed

[donlon77]

@TheJRGJR What about "kike"?? Is it okay to use that word???

[unique74muzik]

look at Fred!!! LMAO!!!

[likasombodie]

[likasombodie]

STINKMEANERS WIFE!!!

[vawlkee51]

Thank god for the 70's when we could all laugh at ourselves!

[YuutubeLosesAgainlol]

didn't this get referenced in family guy or something? like, this specific moment.

[TheMarkoc1]

This episode was just on TV a few minutes ago. LOL

[xxxMyWillBeDonexxx]

OMG I am so offended!

[xxxMyWillBeDonexxx]

@xxxMyWillBeDonexxx

And of course I am kidding.

I've been called "Nigger" hundreds of times back when I was a poor white trash laborer working for white hooded mofos. And that was north of the proverbial "Mason Dixon Line" stuff.

When I was a Junior in HS on the basketball team my white coach and the niggers on the team continually call me a "good nigger."

It NO MYSTERY as to how 3/4 of the historical district of my town has burned.

MY WILL BE DONE.

[DackIsBack]

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

the guy smiling at the end was good, i giggled.

[burrexkeefAGAIN]

@FatGuyWithAKatana That guy? You mean Redd Foxx? You're kidding?

[xxxMyWillBeDonexxx]

@burrexkeefAGAIN Gabe is WAY younger than us... not to mention less cultured, lol... JK.

Gabe is to be forgiven!

[rebelnomo]

@burrexkeefAGAIN That guy? Who said that has to be like 12 years old. Hell, I'm only 32 and I remember watching S & S with my dad when I was a kid in the 80's.

[Whitebrowpriest]

@burrexkeefAGAIN - LOL, I second that. What?????? Are you kidding?????

[slowpoke96Z28]

@burrexkeefAGAIN cant thumbs up replies anymore i guess, so "thumbs up". thats like calling the president some random dude.

[tuchesuavae]

@FatGuyWithAKatana That guy, seriously?
