Thank you for this Jonathan Emile McCoy! I appreciate your courage and passion! Keep speaking your truth it resonates in so many hearts! You are a beautiful person and are already having a huge impact on the world.
nigga please..lol.. but naw really tho.. black kid got skills and hes clearly pissed.. all yall on here talkin bout nigger and what not.. wtf u doing watching this then.. u mad?lmao... im black. probably wont stop sayin the word nigga.. because its hard, but the nigger word definitely needs to be layed to rest.. i have an extensive and immense vocabulary as well.. that can forever decimate and extirpate the negative perceptions that blacks go thru so dont say nigger to me.. dont judge
Kings and Queens? Was it not the people of greater power in Africa who sold slaves to those explorers? Idk, I may be wrong. I'm not for slavery or racism, but does this message come from true history? The word was used to degrade those who truly were below as they were sold to them. Preach on little man.... but if its a lie (idk) then good job for leading by example in lies :D
no a nigger will never be a doctor lawyer or teacher but a black person can bea nigger is a worthless black person like the gangangers and shit but black people are people who did something with them sevles and work for a liveing and also the term african american your not a "african american" if your born in this contry and ur black your an american if u were born in africa and moved over here ur a aferican american
So why do they call white people crackers or white shit? When is it offensive to say black in spanish?shut the hell up we gave you back you freedom so don't take our freedom of speech.
@lolmeadia Firstly, African Americans were not the first to create a racial slur. So when insulted, its natural to retaliate. Secondly, we we'rent GIVEN our freedom. We demanded, and fought for it for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. It saddens me to see that stupidity still lives in the hearts of the racist. Good day.
@lolmeadia You are a racist. you gave no one anything. by saying this, you are implying that you, or white anglo-saxons as a whole were at some point slave owners, which is quite the contrary seeing as how I, nor anyone in my family was a southern slave owner. do you really feel you need to fight for your right to call African Americans "Nigger"? because although you constitutionally have that right, as does everyone, you are far to ignorant to deserve it.
If the cops pull me over and say nigger where you going thats wrong is that what ur saying but if my buddy comes up to me and say nigga what's up that's ok. The two words are spelled differently. As a person who lived the time this word was only used as word of hate. I know how this word hurts. Stop giving it the power we give this word and maybe just maybe it'ss go away. Thanks for replying stop giving the word nigga power.
I know how this word hurts As a young girl I remember my dad being pulled over by the police. The police state nigger nigga where you going with these nigger children. We were so scared. He told my dad to get out the car so thats all I remember. My first taste of hate. Yet we live in a time where black ppl use a form of this word as a term of endearment. Yet, if a white person use it in the same sense we get crazy. Stop giving this word power that it does not deserve. black/ebony does not = n
I am giving my opinion. First of all this little boy did not write the speech but he did learn it. He did a great job in delivering it to his audience. However a lot of time we give power where ther is none. As blacks we continue to give power to this word by our actions. We or some of us exhibited stupid or ignorant behavior. We get upset when our dirty laundry is hung out for the world to see. This word may need to be gone but like racism it will never completly go away.
I really don't care for this video. Didn't know the N word meant ebony, or black. I always thought it meant a stupid ignorant person. People need to stop giving this word so much energy. The more energy it is given the more it will continue to be used. Wheather using in a negative or positive form. Saw a young man in the store the other nite standing in line using curse words loudly as he talked on the phone for 30 mins. Sorry but there are ppl out there that this word fits.
Exactly what you said, is exactly why this LITTLE BLACK boy wrote this speech! Why do we even use the word? Weather it means ebony, black or referring to an African American or someone uses it as you say "a stupid ignorant person", its wrong, and as stated multiple time within this video the word needs to be gone! We all know that when blacks use it toward each other, there referring to a friend, which is still wrong, and when whites use it toward a black, they are talking down on blacks! STOP!!
Hey CashBox. This word applies to you cause you still using cash. Get a real job and stop hating. Obviously this boy has been enlightened and has a more loving family than you. He's a very talented young man and I wish the best for him. I'm Greek and can say this. He truly enlightened.
Man, fuck this lil nigga, fuck that nigga Obama, and fuck all those dirty niggas in the crowd getting all excited. If it takes a little boy, who obviously had this speech written for him, for you to get inspired and motivated then you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm black and I use the word Nigga all the time. If we take the word away from ourselves, the same exact people who made it a deragatory term are going to use in that way even more. At least if we use it we know the intent behind it.
@TheGraciePooh....who are you to call someone ignorant, DCCashBX made a supported claim and who are you to call him ignorant for that. that's why i dislike people who put words on a pedal stool. whats the difference in someone calling you nigga, colored, red neck, honky, cops pigs, or lawyers liars.............omg it happened during slavery.........so. get over it or else all the little black children to come including my own will continue to think race equates failure.
@darryasha First off the way hes talking in this labguage shows tht he is not educated enough to just tell his opinion in a normal way. & second this word is lil tuis lil guy said a word with history white folks called black ppl to degrade them. Ingnorance shows a lack of knowledge & it also shows tht ur not even trying to understand. If u use such a word then it shows tht u dont respect nor understand the meaning of this word & the effect it has. So Yes this is ignorant!
How do you even know who wrote this? He is very well capable of writing something like this. If he were the same aged white boy, speaking the same thing, would you have made the same comment? I think not! And what he said was true! Whites used this word to degrade blacks! Slavery. Does that ring a bell? You are correct however, when you say that anyone who used this word has lil or no respect for themselves nor the one who is being referred to. But saying that he couldn't write this is false!
@11Sedrick many blacks think they have the right to use this word but at the same time they think its an insult when white ppl say it. so how can u say, u can use tht word not caring bout the meaning but get mad when a white person says it? if u say negro it differs from nigga. nigga is the assault, its offensive. no matter if u think it was offensive back in the days of slavery or not. this word is offensive & always will be while if u say negro its just another word like black person etc
@darryasha Ps: how can this b a supported claim when all he does is curse & call this boy out of his name? Heck no.. I dnt understand tht. This sure aint a supported claim.
This kid is reading from a script that was obviously fed to him. Do you think he even knows what half the words he's speaking mean? Do you think he has any idea of the meaning of the word "economy" or "disenfranchisement"?
This is an amazing video, this kid is sooo awesome, I think that ANYONE that has anything ignorant to say about this young man is simply just that IGNORANT. He is not just talking to whites or to blacks he is talking to EVERYONE, the word is NOT acceptable AT ALL!!! My children are mixed and I am white I do NOT use this word EVER!!!! This little man is going to be our President are something one day so ya all better listen up!!! AMAZING!!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this.
Wow. Incredible! I hope the pop music industry is paying attention. This kid is sharper than a hundred Lil Waynes, fifty Fiddy Cents and a couple dozen Kanye Wests combined. I would vote for a politician that spoke with such conviction!!! This child should be an advisor to the White House!
I was impressed by this young man and his ability to deliver a public speech; something most adults are uncomfortable doing. Hopefully he understands and lives by the words he recited.
This young man is simply the tip of the iceberg. It is obvious his parents and community have raised him well, and he has the spirit and intelligence to carry a positive diatribe forward, The fact that this clip would incite any negative comments at all is the real story, a species (human) that has yet to evolve, grow. So lets check ourselves, and recognize we have some work to do.
at 0:40-0:50 what this kid meant to say, was if the africans were not enslaved, they would still be picking insects of each others asses and being sold into slavery by other africans. enslaving africans is a tradition that predates thousands of years before the white man and they would not be talking about their rich heritage instead how to overthrow their own "empowered black leaders"
Great job! I'm as proud of this young man as if he were my own son. Historically/generationally America has groups w/chronic low self esteem/motivation & courage & find their self worth by their hatred toward kids/people that have never offended them. Sad truth is America will always have those narrow-minded among us, but they've never stopped us b4! He wrote his own speech. I wrote/recited speeches verbatim in church just like him as a child, & my kids did likewise. To God be the Glory!!
a buddy just posted this to her fb page and I got chills like when I watched this months ago. (in my Coming To America voice) "That boy's good!" His message and delivery are amazing. I only wish this message reached everyone who needs to hear it. Unfortunately, racism isn't leaving so the only thing we can do is make sure we as individuals are not perpetuating the stereotypes associated with "the word". God bless that child
This young man is evidence that we are much more capable than simply saying "CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG'. Standing ovation. Oprah needs to find this young man and secure his futuer. That would be a 25 year milestone for her. Forget about promoting the likes of Racheal Ray, Dr.Phil, Oz, Spock, etc...She needs to find this young man.
@timothyeral While I agree with your comment, I wonder about one thing: "Oprah needs to ... secure his futuer [sic]." I think that this young man's future is already secure. :)
Yes, this is an amazing video with an uplifting message. Although, I don't know about the argument that Black people are not disenfranchised socially, economically and politically. Don't let the success of some let you think that it represents the whole race because it does not.We have a LONG way to go. Nevertheless he made his point and I commend him for that.

I'm just glad someone *gave him the words* that he repeated so well. It is too bad the rest of the world, white and black, did not get inspired to repeat the same statements. It is bad enough to hear Bigotry with WHITES against BLACK or BLACK against WHITE, but worse when BLACK IS AGAINST BLACK, and allow their race to be kept down by repeating the words of the ignorant.

Yeah, HEARRRR what the young man is saying...NOBODY use the word in ANY way!!!! For those who may not agree with the policies of our current President, that's fine, you have a right to your opinion. BUT a door has been opened, so get used to seeing different shades of skin and members of BOTH genders in the Presidential office in the future...And that's the way it should be in a country where the Declaration of Independence is our most valuable ideal.
What is this child's name? I've seen the post in several places and many comments about him, but I have not seen HIS name publicized. Am I just missing it?
Nigga? Nope. It shouldn't have even been invented. A point this kid missed is that there's still a whole ton of white niggers and black niggers alike. Use the word befitting the individual, not the race. If someone's acting like a nigger and refusing to take the opportunities (limited or not, everyone is given opportunities, and MOST everyone just throws them away.) they're given, then what's wrong with calling them on it?
I cannot believe so many people seem to be shocked that a young person of color can articulate his words and speak with conviction. This message has nothing to do with a young man disrespecting any other race, but is just a wonderful and powerful message to his own race to stop denigrating themselves and respect one another. I wish the we lived in a world without racism but, many of you, are proving that racism is alive and well...and yes I am white!!!!
I feel there's a large amount of stupidity in the comments. This child is not a nigger. Black musicians are not niggers. black lawyers, doctors and teachers are not niggers.
Niggers are those uneducated, gold wearing backwards fucks who cannot properly speak nor spell. we don't need to stop using the word nigger, we need to stop niggers. Personally, I get on just as well with blacks as I do with whites, asians, hispanics etc. however, I fucking hate niggers.
Almost 1/3 of the people rating this vid voted thumbs down?!? That's awfully sad commentary on 21st century culture. Can I offer you people a teabag with your bigotry?
Don't know why I should have to feel the need to say I'm white, but after reading some of the comments I do. For the idiot who said any kid could speak like that but because he is black everyone is making a big deal of it..........ARE U SERIOUS??? You really can't be that stupid ! Most kids that age, of any race, are scared to death to stand in front of their classroom and speak. Everyone, especially our youth, needs to stop using this word NOW.
I send forth Favor over this young man life, that he willl grow up to be safe and continue to be a powerful speaker. That no weapon shall form against him. Amen!!!
@614grind no disrespect to anyone too... It's all these ignorant people commentin. such as @mxair. I'm white, yeah. But Do I hate a person because of skin color? No. It seems there's more racists on the internet than actual face to face. Thus, Because, They know if they pop off to someone because of their skin, they'll get knocked out. This isn't segregated days, so those who hate on another race, I'd watch you're tongue if i were you.
Maybe the real world will always be dragged down by hopeless un imaginative scared people who can't see past their prejudices, that doesn't mean we can't have a 'dream' of a better world to guide our progress!
White ppl are always quick to use that word lol Quite frankly they act like pussy's and say that shit in the privacy of there homes and shit but i PROMISE they dont say that shit in real life in a black persons face....i bet almost every person who made these racist comments have never said to a black persons face and that cus they know its a new day and time and we will beat they asses.....How they hell they gone dislike black ppl when yall asses the ones who brought us here???
99% of the people who commented on here are ignorant. He's telling black people to stop using the word. It's not a shot at white people. The kid's a great speaker and commands ethos. His rhetoric is coherent and logical and you people who are knocking this is what's wrong with the world. Not African Americans. Get a job
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This kid needs to shut up and get off Wikipedia. Stupid African Americans ALWAYS ragging on about retarded Political Correctness and this is just another of example of some kid being fed crap from his parents(Or Google/Wikipedia I guess). There other types of Americans too but they don't need to make a fuckin' speech on it.
Shut up kid 'n' sit down and play a Gameboy or something.
White people just sit there and smile because they can't speak out otherwise it's racist.
@mariotaz I wonder when we started de-evolving? You keep playing the gameboy, because we have some serious business to take care of, like changing the ignorant culture of America, I got three words for ya..."We tired of y'all!"
An hour ago all of these comments weren't on here. I bet all of these rednecks are using the same desktop in some trailer park in Georgia "hey look bubba! lets see how many times we can all say nigger on one video!! ROFLMFAOLOL!"
I've NEVER heard a white kid at 11, 15, 20, ...sound as articulate and passionate!!! He IS amazing and I learned some things from listening to his speech!
As awesome as this kid is, I can't help but point of the futility of trying to reclaim or eradicate words from a language. By banning a word you only give it more power.
But hell, what do I know. I'm just some ig'nant ass cracker : )
@TeamQueef Its ignorant people like you that reminds us that God has a special place in Hell for very hateful people. This is a young man and even if someone wrote it for him, how low of you to have to pick on a young person. Often people with low self-esteem and very little education have to result to this type of behavior. If you think its hot now get ready for Hell because no one messes with a child and gets away with it!
Thank you for this Jonathan Emile McCoy! I appreciate your courage and passion! Keep speaking your truth it resonates in so many hearts! You are a beautiful person and are already having a huge impact on the world.

Yes, this is an amazing video with an uplifting message. Although, I don't know about the argument that Black people are not disenfranchised socially, economically and politically. Don't let the success of some let you think that it represents the whole race because it does not.We have a LONG way to go. Nevertheless he made his point and I commend him for that.

I'm just glad someone *gave him the words* that he repeated so well. It is too bad the rest of the world, white and black, did not get inspired to repeat the same statements. It is bad enough to hear Bigotry with WHITES against BLACK or BLACK against WHITE, but worse when BLACK IS AGAINST BLACK, and allow their race to be kept down by repeating the words of the ignorant.

BUT a door has been opened, so get used to seeing different shades of skin and members of BOTH genders in the Presidential office in the future...And that's the way it should be in a country where the Declaration of Independence is our most valuable ideal.

Nigga? Nope. It shouldn't have even been invented. A point this kid missed is that there's still a whole ton of white niggers and black niggers alike. Use the word befitting the individual, not the race. If someone's acting like a nigger and refusing to take the opportunities (limited or not, everyone is given opportunities, and MOST everyone just throws them away.) they're given, then what's wrong with calling them on it?

I cannot believe so many people seem to be shocked that a young person of color can articulate his words and speak with conviction. This message has nothing to do with a young man disrespecting any other race, but is just a wonderful and powerful message to his own race to stop denigrating themselves and respect one another. I wish the we lived in a world without racism but, many of you, are proving that racism is alive and well...and yes I am white!!!!

I feel there's a large amount of stupidity in the comments. This child is not a nigger. Black musicians are not niggers. black lawyers, doctors and teachers are not niggers.
Niggers are those uneducated, gold wearing backwards fucks who cannot properly speak nor spell. we don't need to stop using the word nigger, we need to stop niggers. Personally, I get on just as well with blacks as I do with whites, asians, hispanics etc. however, I fucking hate niggers.

For the idiot who said any kid could speak like that but because he is black everyone is making a big deal of it..........ARE U SERIOUS??? You really can't be that stupid ! Most kids that age, of any race, are scared to death to stand in front of their classroom and speak. Everyone, especially our youth, needs to stop using this word NOW.

This isn't segregated days, so those who hate on another race, I'd watch you're tongue if i were you.
