[@eliwoods5583]

@@WeAreAllThings That is an extremely simplistic view. As a biracial man myself, let me try to explain it. The difference has much to do with how they were both raised, how Aubrey uses his blackness as a benefit to his career rather than something he naturally identifies with, and how blackness/the culture shapes/frames his worldview. Although his white mother raised him, J Cole grew up in a primarily black community where most of his friends were black. He has deep connections to his blackness, battling discrimination, and rising up from the poverty that plagues portions of the community. It goes well beyond race and The Off-Season spoke a lot about this. Most mixed ppl will tell you they naturally go through a bit of an identify crisis growing up, and will tell you how they reconciled the differences. In the end, for me, everything about Aubrey seems so inauthentic whereas with J Cole it's the opposite.

There are so many examples of that! White and Black kids grow up together more now than they ever have. A huge percentage of white people listen to hip hop. Look at the concerts.

No. Don't abolish the word. We need to know who says it within the context they say it in so we know who the ignorant among us are. Idk if you've ever watched _Inglorious B@stards_ but the character played by Brad Pitt asked every captured not see if they would take their uniforms off, and all of them said "Yes! I will burn it too" that's when Pitt's character says "That's the problem. I wish you couldn't take it off. So we would know who you REALLY are". He would then engrave their symbol of hate on their forehead. To let it be known who the people spreading hate and propaganda were.

The things he said about and to Justin were so gross, and reeked of racism. I can't give him a pass.

[@greatsweetnice]

I disagree with your reasoning for not using the word. It should have nothing to do with other races not being able to use it. If YOU find it offensive, that’s one thing. Lots of black ppl do, as you stated in the video. I’m tired of other races not having to learn how to be left out of certain things. We always cater to how they feel. We are the only race, that will alter what we do, just for the comfortability of others. I don’t care if they consume the music more, or not. Even children are taught that everything they participate in, isn’t going to always be centered around them. The truth is, ppl don’t want to be told anything by black ppl, so they would rather no one say the N word, so they don’t have to. It doesn’t have to make sense to them. They aren’t going to understand why we would want to say it. No one has ever died from a little bit of awkwardness and discomfort. The debate over the N word is old, and will probably never end, but it’s one ONLY BLACK PPL deserve to have, because we endured the pain, suffering, and death associated with it. If you aren’t black, and you’re hellbent on using the word, that’s fine. You better understand cause and effect, though.

[@bastionrome9021]

Couldn’t have put it better myself. I cringe everytime I hear the argument that other races feel left out of using the word. Other races don’t even want to be black, they want what we create. Always will and always have.

After watching Monie’s video she did on this. His apology really doesn’t mean anything because now there’s a few more things he needs to apologize for besides what he said about Justin. Matt was reaching out to her as someone to kind of help him and get feedback and she had actually done some research on the allegations that kindred hit that girl and she actually had proof that that didn’t happen. The girl that accused kind of doing that was six hours away at the time. so she told him don’t put that in your video it’s not true. You’re going to ruin your reputation if this comes out and people won’t believe you anymore. So he had that information, but willfully chose to not only not put it in his video, but to lie and go the other direction with it then he took a clip of Monie from weeks before when she complemented him in one of his videos videos and put it at the end of that video to kind of make it look like she cosigned the family matter. But then after all the backlash, he started calling her a hater and shit. Like dude you knew the truth and you lied about it to try to make Kendrick look bad and try to make Drake look better than he was. On top of the “Carlton Banks” thing he kept calling Justin he now is saying he didn’t mean it in a bad way. He meant it as he was straight edge. No he didn’t because every time he called him he in a derogatory manner.

Interesting. I'm a 53-yr-old white disabled teacher with degrees in English and history who grew up in the South but in a military family and have taught English to international students in mixed classes. I don't know what your analytics do with me and the essays I write, but I do find different perspectives more stimulating than just filter bubbles and echo chambers. Your journey with Eminem and reaction videos have been a helpful way to get through spinal surgery and stroke complications in the spring making for a hard summer. I heard family, friends, strangers, store clerks/cashiers, and even birds say the "N" word, but I was taught NOT to do so by my mother. In the military (especially after integrating but before most people came from neighborhoods that were mixed a few decades back), the troops would all have the different words, terms, and jokes; but the majority melded over that process of giving each other a little ish--at least the enlisted types we had, which admittedly is different to officers. You have to figure out if you can trust the guy next to you to do what has to be done for the highest number possible to come out of combat alive. If you don't ever throw some of that into interactions, a lot of troops say they kind of worry about knowing who they can REALLY trust when the time comes, like knowing it's better to pick Jones and not Wilson taking point on patrol. Then the NOT hard racists and prejudiced ones get beyond that and start seeing each other just as "green" or "khaki" with affection in nicknames and things. As the saying goes, nobody ever yells anything about color before the word "MEDIC!" With families, though, my mother said it's different. We needed to be more respectful of everyone because you don't go through quite the same experience and can spend time behind closed doors even living in post or base housing, but you have to be able to make friends quickly and also be able to holler for support when emergencies occur. Most of the time it's something like movers don't come and you've got no way to cook or the childcare fails. My mother was 7 months pregnant and had a five-year old in West Germany when the Soviets rolled into Czechoslovakia and no one knew if they were stopping so had to start sorting out supplies and who rides vs. drives in the evacuation convoy cars as you leave your husbands knowing they're on that border and about to full on take it in the teeth if those tanks keep coming! It's two completely different approaches, but once you inculcate language into your vocabulary that becomes second-nature to you, it's very hard to change that. I like the move to less divisiveness, but language just doesn't shift quickly or at all if no one is keeping it out at the adult level with kids!

The Company Man understands the long lasting impact of nuanced dialogue and communication. WTD behaved like a guest who outstayed their welcome! Entitlement …

[@marymobley]

I remember hearing that word for the 1st time in kindergarten (1979) and asked my gmother what that meant. She said that it was an evil word that satan created to divide people , and we (Our Family) do not ever use. She learned that from her dad, my great grandfather. He was alive during Darwinism and the creation of the term “race”.

"Which would be the whitest thing to do" lmfao

[@jatzke609]

☝️ The fuck is this shit?

[@mittaw]

I feel like it's an American thing. I can't speak for whole Europe, but in The Netherlands most black families don't tolerate the use of the 'n' word.

[@michaelbidek9343]

I would say 70 percent of Black people don’t use that word. Hip hop culture often clouds people’s perception of Black people

[@brandong42091]

only reactors I really watch is the big homie Stevie and NoLifeShaq so idk who these guys are but when people pull race and culture cards is clown shh to me in my humble opinion

[@isisbeck2374]

Y'all don't think some of the subcribers on social media don't lie about their ages to gain access to adult content?😮

[@Michael-pl9lw]

For some reason, this guy thinks he is smarter than Justin, hence calling him "idiot," and he thinks that he is more experienced on Hip Hop and blackness than Justin, just based on how he is addressing Justin and defending himself (by making a lot of assumptions on things he has never experienced).

[@notagain2806]

Dirt guy is entitled & very angry that someone dared to question his breakdown skills. He also needs to stay in his cultural lane. Praying for your family Stevie🙏🏽

[@lacklustersoldier915]

It’s funny how the Canadian doesn’t think the eloquent former investment banker is intelligent, yet he doesn’t understand the meaning of hubris !!!

[@Clayaka]

WTD lost me when he put out a 2.5 hour breakdown of Family Matters. Lost me even more when he didn't take any constructive criticism and started attacking Justin.

[@danielmarkel5030]

i’m so sick of this race shit but the problem is it’s always going to exist. He should not be speaking on anything that has to do with someone else’s culture especially when it’s not your culture you should just enjoy that we are all made different and enjoy the differences and not hate them

[@rellrell9077]

My family did not use the N word either. It was growin up with my peers, it was part of our vocabulary. My man hates being called that word. I nvr use it towards him. Not all blks use that word, which is Y Dirt shouldn't have spoke on it. **I was lmao when the others creators dragged Dirt...Good job guys**

[@screwedupdeejay]

I’m not a fan of N….. being used in music, because people who know good and gotdamn well they have no connection to the word start to feel a sense of entitlement because they memorized a song lyric or two.

[@austinfatherree3052]

Aye Stevie you and Matt misheard him he said "I didn't know middle schoolers and high schoolers were my (James') primary audience." he wasn't saying that was Matt's audience. So not only did Matt bitch about that 3 times he didn't even hear him correctly.

[@TheRonnieaj]

But I think his broader point is that the primary audience for breakdown videos in general are middle schoolers or that teen age range. That’s not who he’s making the videos for, but that’s the demographic that’s most likely to watch them. I think he was implying that, because they’re creating the same types of videos, they’re going to have a similar demographic.

[@michealstelay6516]

Lol Canadians aboot to stick up for other comedians

[@ChosenDV]

All music I agree is more of kids except for Eminem.

[@TSQreacts]

Idk ..i feel like EVERY culture has taboo things that other cultures shouldn't adopt or do or say. I don't think that's exclusively a black thing. And I don't think it's a reason to not say it. I get the other reasons tho.

[@703Tyme]

1st, my sincerest condolences on your families loss, from my family to yours, prayers are up for you and your mother and other family members who helped give your Father the best last month he could have, all things considered. Real Man/Dad Shit, I assure you he's proud beyond comprehension of you, Stevie!🙏 I was waiting to see if others in the community would address, I watched Curtis👑 hr and 45 min addressing the initial situation, and only reason I went down the rabbit hole was cuz I was already aware WTD had issues with CliffBeats and cut up footage of Cliff to paint an in accurate narrative, TY Stevie for getting to this amd weighing in. Don't Fall Victim To Your Own Hubris is gonna go down in Content Creator Lore As The MIIS....Ya Know You Don Fucked Up Right? You dropped the bottle at.......this is crazy and believe how Justin handled the whole situation shows how and why there's levels to this shit man.....WTD played a pick up game with a pro and found out the difference.......if YT is correct he won't be playing ball anymore😁🤣🤣🤣🙏❤️💯🥷🔥🔥💨💨

[@stevie.knight]

I preciate that boss, gotta stay humble in this game

[@Trustbutdocument]

My simplistic view, it's a bad habit that's become acceptable to many. Same with the F word, Its easy to slip into that habit and one of the easiest habits to break.

[@saiyan_jt1339]

Stevie with the reaction inseption

[@QueenVL1]

We ridin for Justin... while whats the dirt and Ak clickin up 😅

[@GODZZONTONYP]

FAX TOTALLY AGREE , WHO THF THIZ GUY TYPE ISH, "CONNOR"

[@Cloxxki]

Does it need to be ALL one side of the family for the comment to be correct? If you go to a birthday party and N word is fying around the room, it's a fair comment, surely? Why does such a comment need to be proven correct for 100% of half a man's family? If you want to debate at that insane level, you need to make that clear. No sane human argues that way.

[@Watchangiewrk]

Praying for the loss that you and your family are going through right now. May comfort follow you well beyond the initial condolences that everyone gives. Great breakdown as usual.

[@spensenobles]

He said middle schoolers and high schoolers were HIS primary demographic. It wasn't anything to do with WTD 😂

[@zacharyneely]

Great video Stevie Wish you the best

[@cliftonjohnson1990]

condolences on your pops 🙏🏾

[@DanDan-qj7ln]

I'm really really sorry about your father mate... all the best to you

[@lydiaapolot5460]

He was showing off about being in group chats with Adam 22 and Akademics so you can see where his going with his work.And his apology was made whilst promoting a known racist Company, on his shirt,so its null & void to us.

[@Daculaboy]

How's is happy dad racist?
