Keep in mind he has said this around his CLOSEST friends who are also Black because he trusted them mainly because it’s not a big deal, it was a group of friends that trusted him so much and given the ability to say this. Y’all have meddled into his business and allowed a video to get so wide known and took it out of context completely, granted he said the word but he said it playfully around friends that trusted him with this ability to say it and friends that he trusted too, y’all dragged this man down to oblivion. Let it go. It should not have gotten this bad. The only point of this interview was not to resolve tension but to create more. At such a high standard of American approval and pushing an agenda that pushes peace and comfortability, y’all are straight up ignorant, and hypocritical.
