00:00Mr. L. Jackson.
00:02What?
00:05You use the N-word a lot, right?
00:07I did?
00:08I think you do.
00:09Twice.
00:10Across your career, most of all.
00:11Oh, in my career?
00:12Oh, okay, okay.
00:13It's always talked about in music and police and who can use it, who can say it.
00:18But I want to know how you feel about it as a black man, as an actor, and you guys too.
00:22The usage of it and how it portrays you as a person, how you feel about it as a black person.
00:28I feel that?
00:29Well, I mean, it's been a part of my life since I was a kid.
00:32You know, like those folks go, when was the first time you were called a nigga?
00:35Probably in my house.
00:36You know?
00:37I'm like, nigga, you crazy?
00:39You know, it's like, ugh!
00:40So, it's just been what it was.
00:43And it's, I understand how people are offended by it.
00:48I understand what it means to specific people.
00:51I understand how people take offense.
00:54I understand how some people like me don't.
00:57I just deal with it as, okay, it's part of the lexicon.
01:00And I know who's saying it.
01:02I know why they're saying it.
01:03And as long as I can make the definition of what it's, who it's coming from and what
01:10it means where it's coming from, then I know how to feel about it.
01:13Got it.
01:14Got it.
01:15What about you guys?
01:16How do you feel about the usage of the word?
01:17You can't generalize it.
01:18I mean, like you said, you know, it's used in the household all the time.
01:20I grew up around it, in the neighborhood, in the school, all that kind of stuff.
01:24And it does get normalized, but at the same time, you know, depending on where it's coming
01:27from, you kind of adjust accordingly.
01:29You understand?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Absolutely.
01:32I didn't grow up around it.
01:35Strangely enough, my parents, that word did not exist in the house.
01:44My grandparents and what have you, that word was never used.
01:48And I don't use it.
01:50It's not in my vocabulary.
01:52I was told, Malcolm was on the Cosby Show.
01:57Malcolm Warner.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Said something very interesting.
02:01He said, that was the last word that black people heard before they were hung.
02:07How do you know that?
02:10I'm just messing with you.
02:13You're right here.
02:14Whoa.
02:15I'llif…
02:16Hahaha.
02:17Bah too inyo.
02:18I mean like..
02:19Mhm.
02:20With guys that Intelligence, we're already coming back to Drone Jaxief.
02:22Never since Foss которая looked more than me were concerned for that…
02:23But of course, it's so funny.
02:24Thank you so much.
02:25That's why she didn't even know me.
02:26I am watching her.
02:27I'm watching him coming back in beliefs and people watch as well.
02:31Oh, you know that you crashed me?
02:32Yeah, but I'm okay.
02:34Oh, you know.
02:35I don't usually share a number.
02:37I'm going home with the awkward people at Leunesse.
02:40I don't want to watch guys that I'm having her to do, I think.
02:41You can Monday.
