Interview with Asim

Colbert touches lightly on the use of the N word in his interview with Jabari Asim. This way he can connect with his audience. By making it humorous, however, it just makes it all the more right to use the N word in the public sphere. He touched on how by calling nigger by the N word, does that not still mean you're using the word because in your mind you are thinking the word? Following this, Asim comments that we cannot address the language of racism without directly engaging in the use of racist words. The N word shouldn't be banned but shouldn't be used as a term of endearment or used positively.
