The N Word pt 1/8 (The Documentary)

[darkzone1987]

So in other words it is cool to say nigga

[darkzone1987]

@breezwonder one reason why other people say nigga is that they it's ok to use it because we use it often

[strider9100]

8:38 fkn wankstaa wtf is he doing in this video

[strider9100]

okaaay... i lived in georgiaaa from 2 years

[bloodhoof66]

i need to lern about this!! i feel theres a big gap!!

[TheFreshbum]

"who is gonna call you a nigga in NY? Nobody...except other niggers." haha

[revengeofbutthead]

LOL

i was watching this docu seriously before that white guy from Boston Public talks

[wholetruf]

Hey all my peeps--for more comic relief--see Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live do the word association test--using different word that evoke racial identification. It is what some people need to see--to understand that the context and the underlying intent of the user determing the reaction of the hearer. To be fore warned in to be forearmed.

[wholetruf]

For some great comic relief-see Gene Wilder and Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles. Also see Rappin Granny who has coined a new use of the word--in "Rappin Granny tells Pres. Obama 'It's time to NIGGER UP"(youtube). So all my niggas-stand up and be counted. WE got the Power to define.

[castrooutlaw]

if a white boy calls me nigga he will get a wwf smackdown

[Sickzzy]

@castrooutlaw nigggaaa!!! im white

[Trumblebee]

@Sickzzy classic example of a keyboard warrior, you can say anything when behind your little computer screen but we ALL know you'd never have the balls to do this in real life!

@OneDonMelo This has been flagged as spam

[erroll38]

Any white cracker call me a nigger then u better run cracker

[KanyeTroll]

@acplight I agree with you completely. The sad thing is, your comment has been flagged as spam because of these stupid YouTube trolls. So I clicked "not spam", hopefully that works!

[nem700]

hahah rappaport is down

[hardassteel]

WTF, a documentary about the N-word? lol, i gotta watch this...

[MrDreamer4able]

Nonono guys stop it please thats how most people in the U.S.A think of it but you say that of it it hurt them so much how come they use it? Not all of us use that word and you would be stupid to even say so.Comparing the N word with the word cracker or white boy is ridiculous because the N word was a derogatory term used in insult and degrade our ancestors that was when the was slavery!! Whiteboy you shouldn't say it because its not respectful calling someone buy the color of their skin

[fenriz218]

@MrDreamer4able I don't see it so much as a color issue, I mean, there are albinos too and they're still the n-word. For example, we also say Sand-nigger when talking about arabs. Curry-niggers = dravidian-Indians, etc.

As for the ancestors: we only bought, shipped and handled them - the ones that sold them, those were all the n-words.

[KanyeTroll]

I LIKE BLACK PEOPLE BUT I HATE NIGGERS. THERES A DIFFERENCE

[RottenPeachState706]

@KanyeTroll i'm cool with whites outside of 'america' but HATE 'americanized' CRACKAS it's a very big difference

[balotelli456]

@KanyeTroll no there isn't, you must understand that young brothas out there who are shootin and callin themselves niggers, they were forced to think that way because the white man poised into our minds that we are nothin but pieces of shit and no hope what so ever to think we can ever be more, you should also realize that you could be born black and die a nigger at 22. Dont use that ignorant chris rock mentality

[KanyeTroll]

@balotelli456 yeah sure mother fucker, THE WHITE MAN IS KEEPIN US ALL DOWN

[balotelli456]

@KanyeTroll your white so it really doesn't matter what you say, unless you know what its like to be a black person in america than you can not say a WORD about us

[Trumblebee]

@KanyeTroll oh shut up. this is why chris rock says he regrets doing that skit.

[Miztammik]

so true its the way you use it

[wesleyholcomb]

its not the word you use,its in the context that you use it in.

we are all human,embrace it.

[bco0t6]

@wesleyholcomb thats a perfect example of the stereo typical contradiction that is our community

[trailextremist]

@wesleyholcomb agreed, the word shouldnt be banned, people just have to be respectful and dont use it in a derogatory manner.

which is possible, looking at the blacks themselfs using it without taking offense.

[thebrammabull]

@tomkell1234 thats nearly impossible because the root meaning of the word will always be there. . so there has to be another solution.

[gh0stmc]

haha samuel jackson's part wus the best

[shotsky94]

thumbs up if you a nigga

[The1980Champ]

@shotsky94 clown.



[cun7us]

I'm surprised this documentary hasn't had more views

[QUANTUMMECHANIC720]

IF YOU USE THE N WORD YOU ARE A FUCKIN SLAVE.



[themooddisorders]

These days, I don't know if it is about whites and colored. It's the people who put races against each other, often for financial gain. Makes me think of the Excellent movie called Bulworth. Great fuckin movie. Poor vs rich in the end

[kidscotch39]

This would make a great drinking game take a shot every time you hear nigger

[kidbu916]

why is bryant gumbell on here ? not even really african american

[FERViolin2010]

@kidbu916 tsk tsk  u dont know his affiliation

[brokenheadkid]

sam jackson and larry fishburn.... in the same movie???

thats more awesome then any movie can hold!

[Rogerpowell765]

I can honestly say I've never called another black person the n-word because it's something that puts us all down whether we are man woman or child.

[Lonrell]

use nigga/nigger the wrong way and see what happens

[JillMZ]

Wow. Speechless. This should be shown in schools.

And Samuel L. - did he say "Nigger-ly"? 5:59

[JillMZ]

Wow. Speechless. This should be shown in schools.

[mariahbful]

I really dont know how this video makes me feel, Black people say it, white people say it, so what now? I feel like theres no turning back with the N word. Society has passed this word down and altered its meaning to the point that we're comfortable with it and we cant help it.

[Amono646]

I've had the same experience as whoopi. Im from NY and i have NEVER dealt with anyone calling me a n**** just my fellow blk people... great video.. its important to show all the different experiences of people of color with that word. just because you haven't been called n***** by a white person doesn't mean that word has lost its power and impact on you.

[xeqtr22]

It's all in the brain...

[thepunkster90]

they should have given Uncle Ruckus segment time

[NikoBelic4]

even in boston public

[Sprafikk]

It's a damn shame that this movie was made before micheal richards and in turn of what he did he make Paul Mooney Cold Turkey Nigger....It would of been so interesting to see Paul's NOW opinion on a word he and Richard made so widely acceptable and used..

[justfarr1030]

Whoopi is a true COON. EXCELLENT post and series. I will enjoy this one.

Peace

[justalittlebiased]

@justfarr1030

Just trying to civilize the uncivilized. That is our duty sir. Peace!

[what13521]

"BAWS NIGGUH!!"

[breezwonder]

I just dont understand. I hear Mexicans calling one anothers "Esses" and other cultures calling each others things but no one mimics that. So why do other races want to use NIGGA so bad?

[carlosestra89]

@breezwonder we mostly call each other vatos more than eses,ese for me is just derogatory

[tousitus]

cuz black is beautiful :P haha

[sflachuck]

@breezwonder The word is nigger. The word resurfaced during the beginning of the hip-hop era, because rock music was going out of fashion. White and black recording and marketing executives identified hip-hop and hardcore rap as the new "rebellious" music fueled by the word nigger, violence, sex, drugs and ghetto culture. Young people bought it. Notice Jews, Italians, Arabs, Japanese, etc. don't refer to themselves in popular culture in this manner. They have pride in their culture.

[breezwonder]

@sflachuck They don't have too much pride because I always see Italians, Arabs and Asians calling each other "NIgga" and dressed in baggy clothes

[nicktesla45]

@breezwonder What is the problem , Negros use the word nigger all the time ! It no longer carries Feelings of hate like it did 50 years ago. My friend Ernie calls me nigger all the time ,,, And i'm not even black , ha ha ha ha

[breezwonder]

@nicktesla45 I know we call each other Nigga but my question was why does everyone else want to use Nigga in the 1st place?

[nicktesla45]

@breezwonder Old habits die hard . I preffer to use the word Bro . After all we are all brothers under God . Children are born Color-blind and we should all learn from that.

[Gorshkin111]

@breezwonder As a white man with a black fiancee who I've spoken with about this subject only a few times (because we truly don't think about it), it's not that other races WANT to say it. It's that, if I'm relaying a story, for instance, in which someone called someone else MF, faggot, or cunt, then nobody but perhaps a preacher gets offended. Relay a story, or say a line from Pulp Fiction, like you might from any other movie, that involves nigger, & INSTANTLY you're labeled a hateful bigot.

[gothicgarden2006]

It was nice to see richard pryor in this documentary. im learning new things.

[isqlozom]
