to Malaga see very well-known comedian known mainly as a very family friendly
comedian hold
of course are on the program home improvement for a long time on ABC
and a great about love are movie work as well
well looking to actually does a stand-up show this which is pretty raucous when
he talked to Erdogan's
about the N word ol boy all right now running into trouble now
as I read his quotes its week I'm gonna read
the actual word when he uses okay
one that's our policy on their own terms if someone says it and we're giving
their quote
we're not gonna NN word okay and number two
if I didn't do it you make you can be used by the N word
as opposed to the and dash okay so here we go
so this look Tim Allen said the phrase the N word
is worse to me then *** now I don't know
refitted with a day already are then I'm filling in the blank
I'm giving them ever doubt an end to you within it are he went on to say you want
a power
away from that word so that no one is offended by it so cute
is still leaves me an interesting point now look is work with a ton
oath black comedians actors et cetera they're
he's obviously friends with them anne's
saying I'm a common data from a bad place but
we've given too much power to this word and going around saying that
'n.-word is goofy rediculous
and empowers the word too much let's get beyond
doubt you can disagree I of course I understand that but I think he's trying
to make
and interesting point it's not like he's being malicious like rush limbaugh was
he goes on to explain more
he says see if you're on a word to be problematic for you
a a low intellect or on a ball people find that out
they're gonna call you in a go all day long because they know he did you don't
like it
okay that's interesting goes towards is empowerment
all the word what point he was making earlier he goes on the same
and I said so this debate rages in the public but I guess the comedy world were
not even allowed to say it
and I gotta referred to it as the N word afterward the B word he gets all the way
down the line
he gets really intense were running back courts
now he talked about how Richard Pryor was one of his heroes
used to say it Lenny Bruce used to say it and he said look
they were having stirring up interesting thoughts by using that work
and he's saying we should get back to that more
so I had this argument on stage a million times I do and what movie with
Martin Lawrence
and pretty soon they're referring to me as hey my *** up
the so I'm under *** farm
a run you guys with seven feet away if I said *** it's not right
and he say it's cool of it
I mean you always have to give them credit for being over-the-top brazen
about it
now I like that he's spring on a conversation
others do not I wanna get the people who don't like it in one second but one last
quote here
he said if I have no intent if I show no intent
if I'm clearly not if I clearly I'm not a racist
and how can a *** be bad coming out a mime sought that's a great question and
one
that I want to talk about but for someone you they counterpoint here for
my clerk tyson
on MSNBC who says know tim allen is not allowed to say that word under
any situation now in bed at the N word we did admit it
we just go out that we hijacked it we did a carjacking on that works how
in decades ago and not get mad cuz we made more sexy you serve it
some denigration as well and now you want back you know you can come back and
I refuse to in fact allies what he says
it's confusing to be a confusing tau generally
come to follow when using the N word for white people member yeah
when have to do that then you're saying you can't even if I have an exact thing
here
is that is that is that using this kind of words it's Chris Rock said why people
control the whole world but they feel that they can't use the N-word that
somehow their power
has been removed an old grow up allow us to determine what his hand and out and
as a result of that
be our ally and challenge why people not to use it at home you're already using
it
you just want to use it in public oh you really lost through the last part
I think it's funny cuz he turned me to get at this point I'm
a but I have to give credit to the Cat in the Hat though I was I
who that was but i wanna find out I was that our alright
now when he goes my cleared I said hey listen listen I
when you if you say that in the context of talking about rush limbaugh I hear
you he doesn't know us we've had this conversation
on the show many times when he used the word it's clear many as malicious intent
and he's not talking about his buddy Martin Lawrence
when Tim Allen use it and you come at him with the same exact criticism
the you come at Rush Limbaugh with whether that I fear that that he values
your point
I think that it's requires a more nuanced conversation
and at the end there when eager to see throws in you know you're using it at
home
you know you just not allowed to use it in public you know that about Tim Allen
me you don't know that he's using a maliciously at home so he lost me on
that
and but whether you agree or disagree michael eric dyson
you still can say hey you know what I don't think amount should use that word
i think is an interesting question
in fact you know what boomer due to Paul leon term stock rom
will put that up I'm acres were you guys think
should Tim Allen be allowed to say it or not I know everybody's
allowed to say it the question is you think its
inappropriate or not right and me
look I think I think it takes some balls on his part to say
up I don't think he's coming at it from a bad place at all
are even though I don't have the Immunity Idol in this particular
conversation
I wanna partner many where pardon
I V use already sparked an interesting conversation
and you could say hey it's inappropriate for me him to use that
but its past time to have that conversation and
and so that we can hash all this out and maybe then the day we say hey
and maybe Tim Allen even agrees if not a great idea
at this moment in American history to for why people to use that word
because is going to go in a bad direction
but I like to be at least have the courage to bring it up
