Randall Kennedy

And I'm glad that you put the infamous N-word in there so that we can see that as recently as 1948, people who were running for the presidency of the United States openly used the word.

That does not bother me.

I'll say this too.

Now, somebody says, well, nice job, Kennedy, but you've limited it to over here.

You've put it in an academic setting.

What about other settings?

It does not bother me.

Let's imagine somebody who's a comedian, a white comedian, who is satirizing

word usage.

Let's imagine a white comedian who is satirizing our current practice and wants to poke fun at the way in which, you know, let's imagine you have a black rapper

who invites people on stage and let's suppose they invite a black person on stage and they're perfectly happy when the black person full out with, you know, their lyrics, they invite a white person on stage.

The white person is, you know, that doesn't really, you know, sort of mystified, but it comes on stage and full out with what the rapper says, including the infamous N word.

And then the black rapper gets mad.

Imagine the white comedian who satirizes that, pokes fun at that.

And in poking fun at that, says the infamous N-word, am I angry?

No, I'm not angry.

Not angry at all.

You say, bad joke, you were not funny.

Okay.

I don't object to the use of the infamous N-word.
