It is exhausting that some Black people think it is okay to use the "n" word in the face of other Black people. I am not an "n" word, regardless of how you pronounce it, spell it, or attempt to justify it. <br /><br />Excessive and unnecessary usage of the "n" word within the first 5 minutes of this movie is a big distraction in trying to follow the plot. The redundant "I'm Black, pity me" overtones are ineffective, unfunny and tiresome.<br /> <br />My companions and I set out to support a Black film on this evening and this is what we got in return. Thankfully, we were fully refunded by the movie theater.<br /><br />We were very surprised that Chris Rock has not yet matured out of this kind of "I'm privileged to use the N-word and I'm going to show you by shoving it down your throat" ridiculousness. Saying it more isn't "reclaiming" it, or making it more palatable. If you love it, then use it in the confines of your personal life with your friends and family who accept being described as such.<br /><br />Unless there is relevant historical context, then a public forum is no place for use of the "n" word. It is highly offensive, unfunny, immature, tacky and distracting.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
