[Bit 1]

Everybody? Guys, here's something pretty crazy to think about. At one point, only white people

said the N-word. Really did a 180 on that one. You guys, the old switcheroo as I like

to call it. Do you guys think it was like a slow transition, like a hard fast stop

and a switch? I like to think it was Abraham Lincoln's decision. That's what I

like to think. You know he like signs the Emancipation Proclamation, walks into a

room full of his boys. He's like, "Guys, I got good news and I got bad news." He's

like, "Good news is we did it. We abolished slavery. Bad news? We can't say

I don't know how to say the word anymore.

Kind of how to use that one is like a peace offering, yeah?

And all those boys were pissed at him.

They were like, "Dude, why the fuck would you make that deal?

"That's like our favorite fucking word."

And he was like, "Guys, relax.

"What are they gonna do?

"Make it cool?"
