Maybe it was not about race. Maybe you were just a loser that ended up in prison. I would think so, if your daughter was dating a guy, you would have some common sense, But probably not, Right. Vote for Joe Biden he will fix it.

I’m black definitely don’t allow “ others “ to use that word around me. I don’t use it around others. I don’t understand why they need to say this word sooo bad, and justify why they should get a n word pass.

[wickedwaiata]

Respect Uce! The N word is straight disrespectful, no matter where its comin from!!!!

[YoungShoLive]

To be safe and not come off disrespectful, just don’t say it. I’m black and I stopped saying it

I'm a old head too. I grew up in Long Beach Ca. That word was thrown around in conversations between Filipinos (I'm one), Cambodians, Viet, Minh, Lao, Hmong, Islanders (Samoans, Chamorros, Hawaiians) and the Blacks. We all went to elementary to High School and heard and said that word with the soft 'A' at the end of it.
I learned later in life, out of state, new to the Army it wasn't a good word just to throw around.
Good perspective and view Uso. Keep it up!

You are Samoan, and that is very respected. I always looked at Samoans as brethren to Black People. Plus, your phenotype shows a connection to Africa. If yous a down brother, understanding the plight of the Black man in the US, then I don't trip out when I hear the N word from asians, Hispanics, Samoans or any race for that matter. If you are down for the cause and are empathic to the plight, then I consider to be my brother. 💯

As an Indian raised in Cali I can relate with a lot of your experience growing up.. People just confused about where you and your people come from lol. Kids asked me if I danced around a fire with a feather in my head in elementary school smh..

I had a lot of brothers as friends growing up but never used the word out of respect. It's crazy how the new generation is coming up, but I think picking up the game from wise and experienced individuals like you help make the impact we need Ron. Respect bro!

[pasel]

Growing up in midwest and being half Samoan, I would tell people my dad is Samoan. They would act like they knew where Samoa was and then say “you’re from Somalia right?” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Much love Uce! Filipino born and raised in San Francisco now living in AZ. I did 4 yrs in Susanville. I'm 52 now and it's all about family.

It's sad that you had to go to prison to feel unity. As a black man who subscribed to your channel, I stand in unity with you on bringing social change in this country. The "N" word is a convoluted subject that most black people dont even understand. However, i salute your efforts on addressing this issue.

Growing up as youngster in Long Beach and Compton, it was normal slang to use the N word as an islander. It wasn’t until I went to college in the east coast and understood the history of the word and its negative connotation, that I learned never to use it again. Now I just stick to uso. Stay blessed.

Im Puerto Rican Irish Italian and Dominican. I grew up in the hood around primarily black people and always used it growing up. Then, as i became wiser, it began to feel uncomfortable knowing the pain behind the word itself so I stopped using it. It slips out at times when I’m reciting music or if I’m yelling at someone but i always correct myself, even when I’m by myself because morality matters. Love the channel. Great food for thought.

This 1 time. When I was a guard at a casino. I was called the N word by some drunk Asians, when we had to escort them off the property. I was like. Bruh. I'm just an extra brown islander. 😂

[b.b.]

You're a humble and respectful man! The world needs more people like you!

[palmtrees]

I’m islander and I use to say the word hella, but now I only use it with like 3 of my friends when I’m with them like 2 hours in that word come out but soon as I leave I don’t use it no more. ESPECIALLY round black folks i don’t know. Trips me out that other people who say the word would actually argue with black people that they feel like they should say it cus they homies is ok with it. Its hella dumb and I hope you get socked in the mouth for saying it. No disrespect to you Ron. You’re head is in the right place with the word. Good shit

[gabrielvigil]

That was a good one man don't be confused don't get socked in the eye much love from this Mexican brother to you

[nahzewilliams]

im from New Zealand and Pacific Islander, i cringe when i hear an Islander use the N word
i personally think its disrespectful both ways

[mdub]

Man that story of not fitting in just seems so common amongst brown asian and islander folks. Especially if they live in an area where your people aren't there in critical mass. So I feel ya on that. On the "N" word....yeah I'm from the bay area and everyone used it as a common term to address your brotha but after awhile, for myself, I had to think about it cause it just didn't make sense for me. I get turning a negative to a positive but then I realized that word wasn't part of my struggle and even if it meant one thing in your own local area, your own bubble, it aint the same for everyone outside of it. That word became a term similar to that saying "when all you got is lemons, you turn lemons into lemonade" but I think if it aint your lemons don't touch it. No need to appropriate it especially if you think its a term of power for another group of folks, cause if you arent part of that group it's more like a psuedo-power in your context.
