Chris Rock view on the n word

you for your least favorite word my least favorite word hands down is the n-word which i learned to loathe growing up in detroit's inner city where it occasionally raised its head like a cobra i understand what makes it unacceptable for whites but i confess that i still don't fully understand what makes it acceptable for blacks now i got this job it's like explain [ __ ] go ahead i'm the wrong guy to explain [ __ ] even though someone would call me a negrologist but it's the same philosophy as soul food they gave us the scraps and we made it into cuisine and we you know we took this word and we made it into poetry you know i mean it's it's horrible but you put some sauce on it and now it's it's poetry [ __ ] is the nitroglycerin of of words and in the wrong hands it can hurt but if you give it to the right scientists of dave chappelle ice cube eddie murphy what they did what nwa and richard pryor did with the word [ __ ] is just it's art it's it's it's mark twain did bring the pain open doors what happened was people had an opinion of who i was and bring the pain shattered that opinion you know what i mean yeah it's like what if britney spears just had this great acoustic album next year no drum machines she writes all the songs sings them with a guitar he's like britney spears is a great artist so yeah seinfeld likes to say when you get big as a comedian they give you the kit and the kit there's a bunch of stuff in the kit the kit has your own show a book deal a movie deal you know you know you get a deal in vegas it's all in the kit and all these things are in my kit you know
