Andrew: There’s some group of white people that just want to say the N-word so bad. They write in, “What about this situation? What about that situation?” There’s so many times they ask permission to say it.
Rick: That’s their little act of rebellion.
Andrew: I’m shocked at how big a deal it is for people.Rick: There’s an element too of people just wanted to be edgy. They’re not necessarily racist, just trying to be tough.
Andrew: They want to say the N-word because it’s a swear.Rick: And it’s being part of a club. It’s like the thing separating me from my black friends.
Andrew: There is that desire, sure. But at the same time, seriously, don’t say the N-word. I want that on the record.
