You can debate whether he can say that or not because he's a minority but not of African decent,  I guess lol. 

I love that the girl on the couch appears to be asking the other guy "Is he black?"

Also from Fayetteville. And im black.  Random example but Drake is half black half white and it's acceptable for him to use it, apparently  

Pretty much this. He's probably heard it pretty much his entire football life with a ton of other players being black in the locker room .

He just has to remind himself to be politically correct when he's presenting himself to ghe public. 

If he was white this might have been a poo storm though.  

I personally don't call anyone that word but with the a at the end it's not meant as a derogatory word. You can tell when people are actually trying to portray themselves as  overtly racist , they use the hard R every time. 

My kids are half white and half black and they say it all the time amongst their friends, they are pretty much considered black anyway. 

People even call me that but I don't use the word personally.

It just hasn't hit the mainstream radar yet. If it goes viral best believe it'll be mostly gatekeepers taking issue. A lot of black folks have a zero tolerance policy on people who don't identify as black using it.

I live in the Bronx where you have a lot Fat Joe types who throw it around as part of the culture here so I get it, and locker rooms are usually politically incorrect for comraderie's sake, but letting non-black people use it is crazy to most of the country in the same way that a confederate flag means "I miss slavery" to anyone not from the South.

I mean, it all depends.  Age, location, etc.  

But yeah, present day young keyboard warriors of all races clutch their pearls over anything for clicks/engagement.  Same girl in the video making sure to sell the heck out of Tmac using the word....also tried to pretend he was fat shaming her for merely pointing out a doughnut that she was literally holding in her hand wasn't a salad while claiming she exclusively eats salad only. 

I don't know who does and doesn't get pass in the world of non-white folks.  That's not for me to really get into.  But I know different eras have given certain communities the pass.  Fat Joe is a great reference.  Heck, Cypress Hill is another form back in the day.  Lot of latinos used the word during raps peak.
