Buddy in the white tee I got a whole new level of respect for.. he taking the logical stance in todays world.
Tae’s honestly always been a level headed guy and I think all of the dudes are too, just a bunch of smart young fellas
1000% Agree - Same
It’s not like that’s an unpopular perspective.
Edit: also both him and the guy on the right are speaking facts. There’s some nuance to it.
I applaud him for being brave enough to express his feelings of the word even though a lot of people of his race would not agree with him maybe because they do not agree or maybe because they think it's cool to not agree with him, he might get a lot of hate for it tho but at least he's speaking his mind and probably speaking on behalf of a lot of other people who agree with him but are not brave enough to say it...... And no offense to blue hat guy but he is way too young to even try to explain anything about the word, frankly you did not know what you were talking about.... If you do not like someone calling you it because it's offensive and why are you calling your fellow race that word, to be honest white people do not walk around calling each other crackers, I do not like the word and I would not like to be called that word but I do not get offended by it and I do not care if anybody calls me a cracker.... A lot of people do not know it but we are called slang for cracker because cracking of the whip, we should not continue calling ourselves crackers because that's in the past and don't act stupid but black people call white people crackers all the time and don't play dumb because you do, my opinion and nobody should use any slang word towards anybody, I mean I really don't see Mexicans walk around calling each other a spic 🤷🏼♂️
@@MakeWorldGreatAgain2024 an old school black would be offended being called "black." Negro was the word but that one is kinda off limits now.
Hats off to my guy in the middle, he kept it 100 even when the other two of you were questioning his point of view. I personally wouldnt call anyone the word even if they were cool with it but I still feel like his perspective makes a whole lotta more sense.
Exactly! The guy on the right WASN’T speaking no facts. He was trying to justify a derogatory word used against him and his ancestors as being some of “endearment.” I bet, if white people create another new derogatory word to insult black people that means future generations should use that word to greet each other? What? His whole logic wouldn’t make any sense.
Here’s a simple experiment. If any honest Black person wouldn’t call his ancestors or leaders the N word then why call your fellow brothers and sisters as such?
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106 Facts, I bet none of the brothers who love using this word as a greet would ever say it to their moms or dads... even though it is just a greeting...right?
@@KaigaiBro Exactly! No sane black person would ever call their own parents or even the great leaders such as Malcolm X, MLK, etc as such since they’ve fought and died trying to get rid of the physical and mental of slavery.
Hope you’ve a great day/night bro.
I really feel like the ONLY way to take away the power of that word is to let other people say it to you in a respectful way, but, I'm a white guy, so, It's really not my place to say. I just want peace
It's the logical way to think in a 'perfect world scenario' where people would follow the understanding that the word should be left to die. However, the problem is that doesn't work in the real world as the usual racist crowd would still retain it and throw it out as an insult and the more explicit you make it, the more of an offence it becomes when thrown as an insult, if you get me. In that sense, the only way to counter the hatred the word is associated with is to attach it to newer, more positive association. As a black person myself, I find offence in the word mostly depending on the context it's being used.
He’s right. You throw the word out there, can’t be mad when you hear the echo.
i mean you can but youd look stupid
They ask white ppl not to say it bc it’s offensive. Why are you so deadset on using a word a majority of a race finds offensive
@@zachk5652 if they actually found it offensive they wouldn't say it. People claiming to be "offended" today are full of shit. Even if they aren't full of shit, someone being "offended" is nobody's problem but their own, because it affects literally nobody but them. Words hold zero power inherently, they only have the power that you, yourself, give them over your own mind.
@@zachk5652they ask everyone in the world NOT to say it not just white. They want to be the only ones allow to say it like they are special or something. At the same time they made the meaning of the word meaningless since they include it with everything they say 🤦
@@angelbedolla347 They don’t want white ppl saying racial slurs. Why are you such a pos you’re deadset on saying a word that offends most black ppl?
It takes courage to stand up against long-standing cultural habits. Bro in the white tee was on 🔥 with logic.
I know. I love him for that. I was talking to the screen to the guy on the right actually trying to explain to him why the guy in the middle was making a lot of sense and *he* wasn't. LOL
I completely agree!
he understands
Yea good Job to the white shirtt guy . Nobody can own words. Words are for everyone .
👨🏼
Dude in the white T the smartest one out of yall. Much respect. He gets it
this dude stuck the landing on the hard r a few times
@Travis Hamler some opinions are wrong
@@WILLYLYNCH. I agree with you. Some opinions are wrong. No other ethics use degrading words to greet themselves or call themselves. Why we holding on to it.
@@lindarogers2271 yeah they do, yt people call each other cunts all the time lol, although I call my Maori mates that aswell 😂
@@lindarogers2271 “we”
I’m 💯 agreed with the green hat 👒 homie! Don’t use it if you don’t want other to use it period!
That dude in the green hat is going to get some white people beat up. White people don't use it regardless if you hear black people use it.
I applaud him for being brave enough to express his feelings of the word even though a lot of people of his race would not agree with him maybe because they do not agree or maybe because they think it's cool to not agree with him, he might get a lot of hate for it tho but at least he's speaking his mind and probably speaking on behalf of a lot of other people who agree with him but are not brave enough to say it......

@@MakeWorldGreatAgain2024 he's a hypocrite. You hear his friends say he uses it more than any of them.
@@craigreed1638 I don't think that necessarily makes him a hypocrite, I think he just wouldn't mind if his friend who wasn't black also uses the term to address him too cz when his friend was trying to explain to him about context and said amongst them it's usually for acknowledging your homies and his question was *"what if the other person wants to mean it thesame way?"* Also he sees it from the perspective that if the word is bad or derogatory in general then we ourselves shouldn't be using it for/on ourselves
It all boils down to opinions,POVs and all that. I believe both of them have their points tho.

Green hat guy. U get my utmost respect. U are a level headed smart young man
Dude in the middle is straight.... Your thinking on point bro, thinkers like you change the world. Forward thinking
Green hat guy . I respect you A LOT and what you just said about the word. Let's just get to the point in life to where none of us use the word. Much respect for you man
I like his hat lol
I don't think black guys get offended. But what I don't understand is is someone other than a black guy says it, that it becomes immediately offensive. If it's not delivered offensively, why should it be automatically considered offensive?
@@doraexplora9046Yeah, the dude on the right started talking about context and the meaning of the word when people use it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I understand that there’s history behind it that matters but you can’t just expect any other person of a different race saying the word, would always have some kind of racist ”undertone” or ”double meaning” behind it. I mean I don’t say the word or use it but logically I don’t think there’s any possibility to ever make progress on the issue, if it’s instantly offensive to say it regardless of context or any of the sort. We’re just stuck in the same place now. But hey, who am I to say these things as a white guy. Just my opinion. Good day to you!
-Patrik, peace!
@@guigoinz112 From an outsider I agree with you. If it's sooo offensive why do black people still use it? "Oh I get it. It's only offensive if a white guys says it" mentality. It's a form of control over another race. I think it should just be scrapped altogether. A bit like the word "Boong" which is a highly racist slur against Aboriginal Australians. NO ONE uses that word anymore. It's only because I'm old enough to remember it's use. I think the N word should just simply be scrapped from the American lexicon.
@@doraexplora9046 100% true, the whole word should just be forgotten. (Would also be hard because of the history behind it) Then we'd all be free from it. But I also think it would be the easiest and the hardest way to deal with the word in a sense. And why I say that is because it would be pretty easy to just stop using the word on paper but this is where the "hardest" part comes in. It being already so heavily used/integrated in the black community that it's like second nature for them to use the word and I think it'd be pretty hard to get rid of because of that. And you're completely right with "boong". I have never heard it being used, ever.
- Patrik
Green hat dude makes a point.
You should watch Richard Pryor's classic stand-up bit about travelling from the U.S. to Africa, and how he stopped saying the n-word. So funny and so deep.
I saw that some 20 years ago. It made an impact. These guys should definitely see that (and maybe react to it). Green hat dude already instinctively gets it, but he'd probably like hearing Pryor articulate it.
I'm 62, we worked hard to get the word out of common speech. If people continue to use that word any way it will spread as common language. We assimilate as a whole culture. When it came back strong in music and culture, the use increased again. I'm happy your having the conversation. I enjoy this time.
Regardless of how any of you may or may not have "come around" to the other person's point, witnessing "an argument" (ACTUALLY a debate/discussion) feels SO IMPORTANT for people to see...
Thank you, guys!
Know what? I don't see nearly enough of this kind of conversation these days. Different people discussing different positions and remaining friends. This is so crucial, and it's a skill that so many people dont bother to learn.
Thanks for sharing these moments with us and not just editing it all out. This is part of why I love reaction channels, getting a glimpse behind the curtains is restoring my faith in humanity. I love your content! Keep it up 🙂
Soooo true 👍🏻! More of this in the world. It’s just as possible to respectfully disagree as it is to reach common ground.
YES
Exactly! It needs to be had. The guy on the right WASN’T speaking no facts. He was trying to justify a derogatory word used against him and his ancestors as being some of “endearment.” I bet, if white people create another new derogatory word to insult black people that means future generations should use that word to greet each other? What? His whole logic wouldn’t make any sense.
Here’s a simple experiment. If any honest Black person wouldn’t call his ancestors or leaders the N word then why call your fellow brothers and sisters as such?
It's a very human thing to do and the only way to solutions that mean anything .
same people, not different people having different opinions... watch again, try using the N word in any context, with the guy on the right ,, let me know how that works for you, from your hospital bed...
Guy in the middle is right, I feel. If you’re not OK with a certain thing, don’t put that energy out there yourself.
I get it. The word is out there. People of color have taken ownership of it amongst one another because in that context it cannot be considered harmful. Outside of those conversations though it’s not so black and white.
Guy in green makes solid sense. Loaded topic, I know, but I like his line of thinking.
When you think about how that horrible word was the last thing so many people heard before they were killed or beaten, it makes some people feel it shouldn’t be said by anyone.
It was so refreshing to hear the young man in the middle speak his view as a leader of what he thinks. I last used that word on my 29th birthday, and a special friend told me that, if I use that word again, that we could no longer be friends. I thought, well I just won't use it around you. It wasn't long after I decided to take that word out of my vocabulary. That's been over 30yrs ago.
It's a choice, and I think it's time people, including black folks move on from it's use. We have other words that are sufficient and based on gender, like man, bro, dude, etc. I genuinely believe the man in the center, as young as he is, and with urban hip hop culture now mainstream and part of pop culture, other races grew up with it in the casual context it's now used in. So white shirt guy is right.
Thank you for standing up and saying that. Coming from a white man, you are a strong black woman. We haven't had "n******s" for over a hundred years after the abolition of slavery. Wow what an awkward subject. We cant erase history, it's good to try to talk about it and I'm not saying we, as white people, can just kiss and make up and put a bandaid on and everyone forgets about it, the pain and suffering has been transferred down through generations and that word just holds you black folks down you know what I mean?
If it's as easy as hearing somebody say a word you dislike to get you to completely cut all ties with somebody you're cool with, then you're not worth being cool with to *begin* with. Point blank, period, simple as. Always has been, always will be.
Green hat. Yes you are rational, logical and make sense. And in this case you have to find the strength to understand those with the opposite opinion. All is good.
Yep, everybody has different barriers, you can see hes more open minded
The guy on the right made sense as well
@@tj5579 the guy on the right basically said “if you aren’t apart of our group, you can’t say that word.. because you can’t mean it the same way we do”.. I usually agree with the guy on the right but I’m having trouble with this one. I understand his logic but I think it’s flawed.
@@user-ly7zl9gb7m White people have no business saying that word because even if they don't mean it in a negative way it's always going to come off condescending unless you're saying it to black friends you grew up with then that's different I guess as long as you keep it within that circle but you would be better off just not saying it
It's just like how white people are always calling each other "crackers", but they get mad when blacks call them that. *Oh wait*... That doesn't happen, they don't like the word, so they don't use it. 'A' or 'er', it doesn't matter, keep using the word and others will keep calling you that.
He speaking straight facts! Don’t let them hold down your views and opinions. Words are not physical. Only we can decide how much harm words can actually cause to our mental state. I too find it stupid that only certain race(s) are the only ones that can say a certain word(s). Double standards in any form will always cause problems 💯
The evolution of this UA-cam channel from these earlier episodes to the new ones ,you see the growth in these young men .. glad to see it
The man in the middle for sure working with logic where the others at one point of the conversation just become emotional. If you look it from an objective point the man in the middle right. You a strong minded man. Keep it up brother.
Yep. And they're using the old victim mind set of being upset about things that had nothing to do with them. It's excuse-making and justification.
When you are the smartest person in the room, its time to change rooms.
Well dude in the right called him out because Ike he said “you use it the most” 😂so why be upset if you’re the main culprit
Lol everyone siding with white shirt dude, but not gonna lie actually really enjoyed the little debate you guys had, was good to hear a real conversation about race from average black people that don't have no agendas or alliances with politics. Should do more little debate type things like that, was good hearing both sides
Honestly made me forget this was a bill Burr reaction
Im not even black but I disagree with him. I feel like white people saying it is completely different because it's just going to come off condescending no matter how they meant to use it
@@tj5579 well the thing they are arguing is context so is is fine if I call my black friend N in the context of being friends? You see that just opens up a whole new can of worms and that’s why the white shirt and green hat guy makes just that much sense
Agree
@@lurker7105 That's my point tho when white people use that word context matters where as black people saying it it doesn't which is why white people are better off not saying it
@@tj5579 its just better off anyone not saying it white or black if you actually get offended. The thing is if you hated the word so much you wouldn’t say it yourself. But I get what you are saying.
Buddy in the white t.. Got his head the right way round. Well done to you sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥
Thank you for including the discussion in the beginning. It gave me another perspective, just like Bill Burr has done for you from time to time :) Great reactions as usual. I am happy for you for discovering the magical world of Bill Burr and Ricky Gervais.
As a 50+ white woman in the South, i have to say that, after teaching my children not to ever say that word, ( even though many of their white friends did) explaining that it was extremely disrespectful, it was hard to explain to them why their black friends called each other that, as though it meant good friends. They didnt understand why black people would call their black friends such a disrespectful word. That was a tough conversation because i was trying to explain something to my children that i wasnt sure i understood. I appreciate hearing both perspectives on this very sensitive topic.
❤
Context matters. You can use any word in a non-derogatory sense. Like how those living in the hood using the words "dogs" and "b*chs" to refer to men and women they usually know. In some cultures calling someone with animal names like dog, cow, donkey etc are very offensive.
@@reptiles02-bd3ep Who is debating you? She only said it's a sensitive topic which it is. You certainly can't get mad at a kid for repeating something that is so frequently positively reinforced in mainstream rap, celebrities, etc
@@ewoknroll I don't what their point is, op was just explaining how it can be difficult to explain something to kids that isn't simple for them or they don't understand.
@@Ashbrash1998 exactly
The middle dude is correct. A whole lot of people think the same thing
I think both perspectives and points of view are valid. I also think that everyone and every situation is different, so some people may not say it and like it and some people may be ok with it. Personally as a white guy I would never say it, even if I was told by my black friends that I could. I just wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. So I think they are right about who it applies to, because there is a history associated with that word. And yes some people can ignore that and that is their choice, and they can do that because they avoid consequences from it because that history is in the past. But is ignoring the history of that word, disrespectful to those from the past that suffered because of it? I think personally it is, but I also understand that everyone gets to make that choice for themselves and how they feel about it and whether or not they use the word or if they are ok with others using it and who that may include. So, I definitely see both points of view and I also think they are both valid. No one is wrong here.
Not really
@@omarabibaker3637 "This guy is correct."
"Not really"
"Oh, okay. Well are you gonna explain why you feel that way?"
"No, because my opinions don't mean anything because I don't have anything to substantiate them but I feel like inserting myself anyways just to steal oxygen"
@@ZaraelShade Keeping stuff "Race exclusive" is racism in itself. We're all human and should be on equal terms regardelss of skin color.
@@marcussehlin4729 Nah. It's like someone making a fat joke and they're skinny. Or making a gay joke when you're straight. It's about not being a member of the particular group that has to have the word against you. That's why you don't get it.
Thank you for taking the time to share this conversation.
I often love the conversations you guys have as much as the videos you react to! Keep it up~ thanks!!❤
As a black woman that’s been married to a white guy for 10 years he’s never sad it. I asked him about it cause he’s called it all the time and they said he could say it. He said he’s not comfortable saying it. He said it’s not right. And that’s what makes him a great man.
Riiight!!! No one should be comfortable saying such a hateful word!

@@jaynethomas7380 and another thing hip-hop is huge and Hip-Hop has been word in it constantly hip hop has made it more socialized and normalized for people to say
I agree with the green hat white shirt. He is right, he just couldn't articulate his argument to be universally accepted.
He is trying to say that if it is used as a term of endearment, like it is in his community, that as a person of colour, you cannot cherry pick your triggers. Either the word is accepted universally or it is not. Nobody is above reproach.
EXACTLY!
Facts.. when you say it , you're giving the ok for everyone else to say it..
I agree with brother in the middle 👏👍
I have a great deal of respect for the guy in the middle, white T shirt. Great stance really making fathers proud 👍 love to hear smart young people.
"Niggas Vs. Black People" is one of Chris Rock's best stand-up bits! 😂 You should react to it asap!
I gotta say...I got mad respect for the dude in the green hat ( my bad I don't know everybody's name). And to be clear, the historical context of the word is what it is, but I respect that he would take into consideration the context in which the word is used. And it's awesome to hear different, nuanced takes on things. Also, it's kind of weird when you really think of what the other two are saying, there's a word a person can or can't say depending on the color of their skin, not for nothing...but that sounds a bit racist. What about singing along w/ a song? What if the word is used as a term of endearment towards a person of a different race?
As a black highschool history teacher in KY I get asked about this A LOT from my white students and other students of different ethnicities. So, I'm going to explain it to y'all the way that I explained it to them. (It also helped because that country singer was in trouble from being filmed saying it. Morgan Wallen I believe)
Personally, I don't use the word. Never have and I never will. As the brotha in the white T was saying, how can we as a people use a word and then tell EVERYONE ELSE who's not a part of our people that they're not allowed to use the word? Isn't that the very practice of racism? It's like back during the Civil Rights movement when there were restaurants and hotels that were "white only". Same concept, only instead of a place only certain people can use, it's a word. So for that very reason I don't use the word. Why? I'm not a hypocrite.
We as a people have got to stop letting such trivial things divide us. Another great example is the singer Bruno Mars. Black activists and some leaders complain that he's "stealing our culture" by making the music he does. I say that if he grew up listening to that kind of music and being inspired by artists such as Prince, MJ, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and so; then it is just as much his culture as it is anyone else. Those who attempt to compare Bruno, who makes original music, to the likes of the artists from the 50s and 60s who just straight up STOLE whole songs or beats or melodies; they look foolish. No comparison whatsoever.
How can we expect to be taken seriously when we argue against racism and at the time tell everyone else that they're not the correct race to join our club? We can't!!!
@@SSJ2Phenom that’s exactly what I just said. The guy in the white shirt was making clear sense and making a really good point. When the dude in white hat on the right was being real hypocritical.
It kinda got to a point where I fast forward that part and was just like he’s one of those dudes. That it’s only ok for them to say it but no one else. Which sounds hypocritical and a bit racist. And as the dude in the white shirt said degrading to them so why use it at all if they don’t like to hear it come out of any other race but black peoples mouths.
Like the dude on the right he was like even if they were friends of ours and different race they can’t use the word in front of us even if some say it’s ok it’s not to em. So yea it just a whole thing with that. I agree with the dude in the white shirt like yes stop using the word. I don’t think it ever will tho.
I don’t use that word due to respect. And if your an adult you should know by now not to use it either. That’s why there’s Bro everyone uses that got super annoying but it’s a lot better then the N word.
@@SSJ2Phenom I concur whole heartedly with everything you said. There are a lot of double standards. Now that being said, I would never and have never used the word. Your explanation of Bruno hit the nail on the head. That is like saying Lenny and Jimmy stole rock and roll, music is music , it is meant for all to enjoy no matter the genre. In this day and age I can’t believe racism still exists. I always say that if the earth is still around if a few thousand years, there will be no such thing as a black, white, Mexican, Indian person etc as everyone will be mixed race. I say that because love is love , and interracial couples are happening more and more. Peace and love ! Sorry if I got a little off track
Also, check out Richard Pryor about this exact matter…
@@SSJ2Phenom I couldn't agree more. Also, to be clear, I don't use the word in any context really. It's just such a weird concept when I stop & think about it, that regardless of context there is a word that is, more or less, unacceptable for a race of people to use. Besides all that, like I said, I couldn't agree more with you. We all should look to the things labeled as "appropriation" or "stolen" as things that can connect us, instead of walling off our cultures from each other & prohibiting any & all crossover or appreciation.
I've been watching all the Metallica reactions, and now I'm down the rabbit hole of watching y'all's videos. Very entertaining and also a really good perspective from music and culture.
🦋Love the video. And in reference to the shooting around you are near you I’m glad that you guys are OK. That’s pretty scary.
As a white dude, I know people say we don’t really have a say in the topic of the N word, but I completely agree that we should all stop saying the word, like how almost everyone stopped saying “fag” even gays. Gatekeeping the word just gives it so much more power so when another race does use it, it seems like the worst thing in the world.
Listen white people can use it *and I don’t use it myself* but if any other non black race uses it then don’t cry and whine about the consequences 🤷🏾♂️
@@intello8953 I don’t think white people should use the word at all. I also don’t think anyone should use the word period, but it’s also not my decision
as a gay white dude, I totally get the "context" argument about the f word if a straight person says it sounds dumb, but yeah, I wouldn't trip
Hahahaha. The conditioning has worked bruh....
@@jj223a trust me I hate non black races *that are not white* using it as well but the reason I’m more harsh with white people using it is because white people in the past have created that word and used it on black people with horrific bigotry and racism, to keep us low and fearful of them. So I will be damned if any white person *regardless if they are a close friend or not* uses that word around me. Again you can use it but don’t whine and cry about the consequences 🤷🏾♂️
I agree with the guy in the green hat! Smart and pragmatic! 👌🏻
Thank you guys for showing the debate of the use of the N word. This is exactly the kind of discussion we need to have in this era. Y'all are great.
The discussion at the beginning is why this is a fantastic channel.
Guy in the middle knows what he’s talking about.
So much respect for having a conversation. I swear I got love for y'all.
That was a very interesting debate. I'm glad you guys kept it.
Man's in the white, had legit thought and questions on the subject. I feel it's a real interaction to have. If you listen to his thought process, you will understand the nonsense.
I love the fact that y’all spent half the video having that discussion. It’s a healthy and legitimate discussion for our society. I may be a 32 y.o. Southern white guy, but I’ve always found racism to be the most idiotic invention ever. I grew up in Shreveport, LA in the ‘90s seeing the unfortunate, violent change in that area in real time, and I remember questioning- as a kid- why people of different skin colors were hurting each other like that.
I was never comfortable with that word, even during/after high school (~’05-‘10ish) when I hung out with a lot of black friends along with other ethnicities like Latinos and Polys. I never used the word.
One of my friends even told me he appreciated the fact that I didn’t use it, although we still would’ve been cool if I had. It meant something to him and my friends that I respected them too much to use a word that was bastardized from Latin to degrade an entire people who simply look different. Now, I coach and teach high school English, and I have these kinds of discussions with my students because it really does affect people in different ways.
If y’all haven’t seen it before, y’all should listen to Richard Pryor’s bit about his trip to Africa and his revelation about the “N word.” It’s really beautiful how he put it: “That’s a word that describes our own wretchedness. That word’s dead because we never were n*****s.”
Keep up the good work, and represent Lafayette! Geaux Cajuns!
I really enjoyed your comment and suspect you are a really fantastic teacher.
#RushFa... I grew up in southeast Tennessee in the late 50's and was in high school in the early 60's. My hs was not even integrated yet. I've never been racist because I could never understood why anyone hated other races or religions. I didn't meet a black guy face to face until I was 19 .
Your comment about Richard Pryor was spot on. He was and always has been my favorite comedian/actor. The Cartier Brothers can get a lot of education from Richard. I know they're way too young to have much of a handle on the whys and wherefores of the race riots of the 60's 70's and 80's on up until the present time.
Agreed!
its a good topic that was discussed in the beginning. The thought put into makes sense as to why it shouldnt be mentioned by others. It's the "intention" when the word is used.
I understand your points, which are both valid in a way. I just hope that one day no one will use the word, regardless of the intent.
I'm so glad and grateful that they have differing opinions, voicing them out and even debating intelligently with each other. They each keep their own individualism, stick to their personal perspectives whilst listening to each other and giving me the impression that they're also willing to change and accept their opinions when a logical and valid argument is presented. Is is very smart and healthy and admirable. Kudos boys!
Homie in the middle is smartest on this topic. He is saying it’s stupid to say it bc of the whole racist slave shit back in the day and other 2 are saying na it ain’t stupid but they wanting to hold that word over their own heads
I just found yalls channel and I gotta say I really enjoy yalls content. I have watched like 8 videos just today and I have liked every single one. Keep it up guys!
Good debate in the beginning. I understand both sides. Much respect to yall.
The first like 7 minutes of this video has been a conversation that has been going on for decades. Every black person I know feels differently about it so there's always going to be a disagreement about it, but it also hits hard because of the weight of it.
Huge fan of you guys. You’re so funny. My dude in the middle with green hat and awesome laugh. 🤣 he gets it. The word is either offensive or it’s not, there is no “us” or “them”.
Lol I dig the conversation at the beginning with three different outlooks.
I've got to that agree with the young man in the white tee, he's got it. Props go to him. Never thought when I was his age that we would still be having this conversation.
I have a lot of respect for you guys having this conversation. Thank you, your perspectives are very valuable.
First time watching yall and my hats off to the realistic man on your channel. The guy in the white shirt is spot on. If a word is degrading to you then why in the hell would you use it to call each other? Nailed it. If you get made at any other race that is saying you hold every race but your own accountable for giving you respect. If you do not respect your own race then why you mad if anyone else does????
Sorry white, make sense out of it all you want . Just don’t say
@@qinfo8891 Sorry black, make sense out of it all you want . Just keep degrading yourself
^ Sorry Human, make sense out of it all you want... stupidity is everywhere ^
@@qinfo8891 do you not see how calling hime "white" like that is causing divisiveness still? You sound a little racist tbh
@@flowgix6427 yes. 👏 👏 👏
CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING
i came here for a reaction, but happily sat through 7 minutes of that debate lmao
really interesting to see it from y'alls differing point of views!
As a mixed raced from a multi-cultural society where we’re all equals...I look forward to the day that skin tone is a non-conversation...just like your shirt colour, your belt colour, colour of your car...it’s not important. Love is love...get with it or get over it ✌️❤️
Our friend here in the white shirt is hitting the mark more than he knows. His perspective is valuable and all Americans can benefit from.
It's not about skin tone though, the connotation of the word is slavery. The color of your clothes or any other object can always be a topic of conversation as *objects*
@@ner0p you make a very valid point. I think what I was getting at was more...the longer this particular conversation lasts the longer it will burden society.
Even three guys of the same ethnic background can’t see eye to eye on it.
A good start would be calling everyone Americans instead of categorising everyone from the outset eg. Asian American, African American, Mexican...first and foremost should be American.
Segregating people while trying to find common ground will go no where.
If you get me...✌️
I appreciate y'all having this debate on camera and sharing it. I'm not going to give any kind of opinion on the matter; I just appreciate you letting me listen in on the discussion.
It's cool if you simply don't WANT to GIVE and opinion. But don't ever be under the impression that you can't HAVE an opinion. On any subject.
Good conversation about words, how they are used and the intention.
I'm loving this. Question everything
I love that y’all are willing to have this conversation. I agree, whole heartedly, with the guy in the middle. EVEN THOUGH I obviously understand what the argument is. Also, just because you explain your position to someone and they still don’t “get it”, doesn’t mean you explained it well or convinced them to agree with you. 😂
if you black you can say it white you can't. thats it. been like that
@@GunsNGames248 thats what they been debating tho lmfao why are you so dense brother
Change starts with you! We can't control other people's thoughts, words, or actions; their path is their own. But we chose each day who we are, and it's never too late to choose love, kindness, and support for each other. 💗 Thank you for leaving the conversation in, divine love to you guys! 💫
They exactly understand what you're saying but they don't want to admit it.
Respect for you my man.
Totally agree one year later. Love these guys
This was the most interesting intellectual and introspective discussions you’ve guys have ever had about a topic at the beginning of the video
🔥🔥🔥🔥 #kings ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Guy in the middle. Mad respect. Personally I try not to say it. Even if it’s meant as a term of endearment. But the guy in the middle has a very logical stance which I respect a lot.
I recently been gaming with some American kids (I’m from the uk) the amount of n bombs they drop is crazy. They all talk and act like wiggas it’s fucking crazy man. Makes me uncomfortable
I respect you all for spreading the love, and sharing the thoughts. We are all learning together. Future leaders of America here. That said, white folk, just don't go there, you don't want none. Treat everyone with respect as sovereign individuals, meet them where they are at.
LoL wym?
Very logical. "If you don't want it to be said, don't say it." And I agree, it does sound degrading.
This debate at the start was so awesome. The truth is you’re all right. Context matters, the history of the term is still relevant today, and the individuals’ perspective can change how things land, even if you think you have things in common. Great video!
Exactly 💯
I'm white and I come from a country that doesn't use that word and as a kid my only reference was that I loved rap and at least half the rap songs I heard had it in the lyrics and I sang along and said the word while singing along whilst completely ignorant of the meaning of the word. Now that I'm older and know more about the world, it's kinda weird when those songs come on and I want to sing along to them then the word comes up and things get awkward. It makes me wish that it wasn't in the lyrics in the first place in a way.
Exactly. They can't want us to like their music and then get angry when we sing it or rap it. Personally I'm just over it, so I don't even bother with most black music.
@@Rob-iy2rt Good we not looking for viewership
@@Rob-iy2rt Good. We don t need you or want you...
@@Rob-iy2rt lol lumping all black music together is wild and racist AF 😆🤦♂️
Logic is such a wonderful quality to have. It is a gift that not everyone possesses and something to be grateful for.
I love these guys.
Taj is talking y'all. I love it! I know Stevie Knight stopped using the word all together. No matter how it's used, or by who, it's still divisive in a way. It's good to hear these conversations among you. It's beautiful. ❤️
I remember when Stevie did that.
Yes, paraphrasing Stevie's perspective, it basically came down to any word that some people are allowed to say and some aren't, just creates division. Totally respect his point of view.
Respect to all three of you. Loved the commentary and the reaction. Keep doing what you do!
I wholeheartedly agree with you. It's a word that nobody should ever use. No matter what color you are.
Man in the middle , Nailed it !
I love perspective, so much in this world is from perspective. We need more conversations like the one you guys are having. We should be free to have them and the respect to keep it on the level.
Support to the brother in the middle, clearly he is the bright light in the group ✨️ respect 💯 🙏
hey they all are allowed to have an opinion, dont belittle them bc you think Tae was in the right😒
@@X3nophiliac that is exactly what the other two were doing lol not taking consideration of HIS opinion just bc he was not acting as a victim like them
Complex and excellent conversation and brave
I gotta strange feeling you guys are gonna blow up big. Soon.
This has to be the deepest reaction I ever seen lol subbed.
Wow its every video, yall got some major feed back on your videos.
You guys are GREAT!
A MILLION subscribers is coming...
You guys appreciate comedy . The world needs more dudes like you! I think I'm in for a CANT FOLD t shirt!
First time watching. This real conversation at the beginning just made me decide to check out more of your videos. I see what both sides saying. But green hat guy - respect.
You gents are the best. Strange situation, back in the 1980's when I was working at the fresh air fund in NYC some of my colleagues would call me "n***a" but I had the good sense that I didn't need to reciprocate,
My man spittin real dope.much respect dawg
I just watched the beginning, I think it’s all about reclaiming the word for yourself, turning it around.
Brother in the white shirt has my respect. Almost all my homies are black, I'm not. We all grew up saying it. When I got older I decided to stop and I explained that I wasn't going to anymore because it's derogatory slander that no one should use. Some of my boys stopped as well but many of them still say it. I choose not to.
Burr is honest, he puts things in context… funny too💜
You guys are dope dude. hella subscribed.
Block people are keeping the word alive by using it to each other. I agree with you Todd.
You guys are fun to watch and good people. It would be amazing if you guys kept it up for decades, keeping it engaging and philosophies maturing in time.
Hi my friends, I like the beginning conversation. I'm a white guy and I understand you mean brother when you say it.
One of the problems with the dialect is in the music that transends race. Other people want to sing songs with the offensive language, but have to be careful.
Interracial relationships/friendships make the dialogue rub off.
The context of the meaning is established by the person using it regardless of race. I do get the point of who it applies to, but it is a form of infringement on free speech.
It is a bit rediculous to hold something over people that had nothing to do with the words origins, but hey, I ain't mad.
I enjoy your reactions fellas. Keep smiling
Good conversation gents. Thanks
I'm with blue hat, but the conversation deserves respect. The perspectives are so interesting and this generation gives me hope for the future.
Wow. That was a very healthy debate at the beginning. Right on, guys. That took strength and perspective. I don't know if I would have had that same courage talking to some of my friends on camera. And I talk about some pretty intense shit on my channel. Kudos. Keep up the good work.
