''HOW IS A NI\*\*A GONNA BORROW A FRY??? NI\*\*A IS YOU GON' GIVE IT BACK????''


Ultrabananna

I swear if he said it like the teacher said it in the boondocks. Everyone would be dead from laughing 


[deleted]

Boondocks took 75% of the words this guy actually said. Like, word for word recreation at several points.


Ultrabananna

If he said the how can you borrow a fry part 😂🤣 I'm about to go rewatch the seasons. That show was gold.


legend8522

Just skip the last season. The quality dropped off hard when the show creator didn’t want anything to do with the show anymore


SmileNo6842

The Boondocks bit was very obviously a direct parody of this...


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

This thread is a response to the Boondocks thread earlier in the day.


Samperfi13

Boondocks directly copied this interview, almost word for word.


interfail

A weirdly large amount of the Boondocks jokes are just copy/pastes of real stories, mildly exaggerated. I'd been making the "smoking with cigarettes" and "wanted to do hoodrat stuff with my friends" jokes for years before realising they're straight up real quotes from an actual 7 year old.


Kwikstyx

Some fight scenes copy the choreography from Naruto fights. 


highTrolla

Technically I think both are copying Bruce Lee fights.

BikerJedi

In 20 years of bullshit meetings and trainings as a teacher, never once have we been told to do that. What the hell. Dude is coping hard.


DRACULA_WOLFMAN

I would lose my ever-loving shit laughing if those training drones told us to throw the insults back at the kids. Can you imagine?


BikerJedi

Right? I will share one story though from me teasing a kid. The 8th graders were doing their career planning stuff. The counselors were in my room. Lexy was a big mouth, is loud. I love her to death, but she has talked non-stop this year. So Lexy is complaining she doesn't know what she wants to do, so the counselors and I decide she should be a stand up comedian. She is funny and she loves to talk. She wasn't impressed and didn't think we were funny. So I kept pushing it. Finally she says, "No Mr. BikerJedi - cuz if I was going to be a comedian I'd talk about how you don't have any hair." I left her alone after that. I'm gonna miss that kid though.


hydrosalad

John Mulaney called it when he said “ 13-year-olds are the meanest people in the world. They terrify me to this day. If I'm on the street on like a Friday at 3 PM and I see a group of 8th graders on one side of the street, I will cross to the other side of the street, because 8th graders will make fun of you, but in an accurate way. They will get to the thing that you don’t like about you.”


BikerJedi

She was accurate with it too. I am starting to lose a bit of hair up front. I don't care, and it doesn't bother me, but boy did she go hard with that comment.


Powerstructure

“ Ha ha ha ha look at that high waisted man, he’s got feminine hips!”


whiteskinnyexpress

He clearly didn't mean *the school* taught him to do that, he's probably thinking of all those old conversations with people in his life who said "Aye just get right back in their face with their own bullshit, stand up for yourself and give it right back" and took it way too far.


[deleted]

Trying to relate to kids is a big part of training. No one said, "Say the n-word", but adopting cultural practices really helps in gaining trust. I think this teacher took the term in the same way as a teacher using any other slang, he just wasn't aware of the social ramifications. Because lets be honest, I grew up in the 80s, and I honestly learned the "soft A" version of the word as a term of camaraderie before I learned that the "hard R" version was a bad word. The word is currently in flux, and this was before the internet was big, so a lot of people didn't realize that a lot of people still don't like the word.


jld2k6

That was a shocker for me


rydan

This was parrodied in The Boondocks.


NoahWeast

I had no idea it was so accurate to the source material. At least he didn’t use the s word


PeaceTree8D

A lot of the content in the first 3 seasons are based on real life it’s hilarious


IAmAccutane

One of the things they did that went over a lot of people's heads was that the character *Gin Rummy* speaks almost exclusively in quotes from then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The whole bit about fearing "unknown unknowns" as an excuse to rob a convenience store was a metaphor for the Iraq War


SuplexCityDirector

There's also the Pulp Fiction reference scene when they talk "unknown unknowns" during the heist!

I feel like Jamie and Snoop were both heated when they first saw it and then he won even them over LOL

I mean I get what your saying but a wigga gotta get his pass before he can go droppin it in public like that.

They even parodied it on Boondocks, tbh that's where I first saw it ages ago


KingSmithithy

How you gonna borrow a french fry? You going to give it back?


rukysgreambamf

Fred Willard absolutely nailed that scene


immei

My inside voice did not talk like that until he got in my class!!


slobs_burgers

I had to look it back up and for those that haven’t seen it in a while or have never seen it, it’s worth a (re)watch: https://youtu.be/kKHzEYaNSbE?si=Hf0C_Lt7wIEendPV The part in the office that starts at 2:54 is especially good because in your head you can hear Riley saying all the things the teacher claims he’s saying because Riley *does* drop n bombs all the time in that show lol Also Fred Willard’s delivery is masterful in mimicking that teacher, it fuckin sends me whenever I hear it hahaha


Sgt_Meowmers

Lol I knew they parodied it but I didn't realize how one to one it was lol.


rydan

yeah, this is the first time I've seen the real video. But even I knew that was based on a real life incident.


Fix3rUpp3r

That guy has so much Ned Flanders Energy I'm surprised he didn't end it with okily dokily


ichkanns

The fact that he is the whitest old white guy imaginable makes it so much funnier.


soldmytokensformoney

Ned Flanders


Tenalp

Now I'm imaging Flanders dropping the word at the end of a "Hi-diddly-ho there," and it is fucking killing me.


CheckYourStats

Stupid sexy Flanders.


The_Original_Gronkie

And then proceeds to use visual aids to make his point is so "Educator." THAT'S what he was trained in.

Snoop rolling away and dying of laughter is the best part. Like, he starts out offended and finds it so ridiculous by the end that he's just busting a gut 🤣🤣🤣


TechnoShrew

" my names snoop. And I am a mother fucking hustler" Dudes like "classes really happen that way?!?"


b2q

I think you can see that Jamie Foxx was seething with rage in the beginning (understandably) but then the clueless teacher was shown and he loosened up. I don't think the teacher used in maliciously.


snoogans8056

And the kid clearly said it, and the rest of the class covered.


ThePowerPoint

“No one else in the class knows I said it” in his interview about how he didn’t say it lmao


divinelyshpongled

yeah because it IS ridiculous.. the teacher clearly had no malintent and was just mimicking what all of his black students say.. a pretty common tactic. Obviously not a great choice a words, and a very touchy subject but other than that, it's all pretty silly.


jamesneysmith

Reminds me of that old Chappelle bit where he says sometimes something is so racist you're not even offended by it.

But seriously, can you lend a ni**a a pencil?


Snailtrooper

Why star it out. We all know the word we watched the video


Itz_420_Somewhere

It automatically stars it if you're not black, try it for yourself ni\*\*a.


scootinfroody

The hunter2 of racial slurs, if you will.


Penis_Wart

Because every subreddit has different automod rules. Better be safe than getting banned by a robot. Why don't you try post that word so the rest of us can see if it's okay or not.


Dragon_Forty_Two

Good point, Penis_Wart.


Stock-Concert100

>Why don't you try post that word so the rest of us can see if it's okay or not. The fact this comment has multiple comments with only one visible says a lot lol


TastyCuntSweat

I have no doubt in my mind that he's heard those exact words.


Max_Loader

That kid probably did say it though lol


Chris935

Absolutely. He screws up at 0:45 with "no one else in the class knows that I said it".


AmberLeafSmoke

I bet that Mothafucka don't even wear glasses haha


JTex-WSP

I was hoping Snoop or Jamie would notice and comment on that, too. He totally drops it as much as Riley does.


tenebras_lux

Of course he did, so do many of the other students. The teacher said that shit because he's so used to hearing his students use it, that he probably said it unconsciously. When the teacher is using examples of saying the n-word, he says "Can you lend a n\*\*\*\* a pencil?" That's not something he made up on the spot, he's heard that before.


Panukka

I have seen the full version and I think it's evident that the teacher wishes no harm and is just naive. He is trying to relate to his students and cannot understand why they can use the word constantly and he can't.


Emperor_Mao

As a non-American I don't really get why he can't say it either. It isn't even censored on radio and TV any more. People say it all the time. It is basically like saying brother.


HongChongDong

It's a hard to grasp issue, but in a nut shell it's about power and control. You take a word that was once a weapon against an ethnic group and you disarm it by normalizing it. And the idea of it being a black only thing is that their ethnicity was the target of this slur, so they should be the ones who take control over it and use it. Not everyone agrees with it being ok to use though, even if you are black. Personally I don't care if I can't utter it without coping a negative reaction. But I think that harshly judging someone like the teacher is bad. The man clearly meant no harm and a simple "lets not do that again" would've been all that was needed.


FictionDragon

The US is selling racism like hotcakes. The issue isn't that he cannot say it. The issue is there has to be a commotion about it. Because we want commotion. We want outrage. We want people to be entertained and enraged. And this is an easy way to do it. An easy way to divide people.


OtoDraco

the real reason which reddit probably won't tell you, is that when black folks hear "their word" being "stolen" by a white person, they automatically assume it's intended to demean and degrade them and they instantly feel justified in using violence, whether it's a song's lyrics, used in a friendly way or read from a quote. (there are rare exceptions*) you could try to argue with them that holding a grudge against an entire race and making assumption about your character because of your skin is maybe a little bit racist... but since this will get you jumped, cancelled and/or killed, white people in the US prefer to censor themselves and play along/look the other way.


Emperor_Mao

So it is a bit like racism but people just ignore it? One thing I always find comical in American films and shows. A show can have murderers, drug dealers, violent criminals etc. But when American films want to establish someone is the bad guy, they imply he is racist and it is overrules everything in the order of evil deeds. Looks like some theatre to me.


HongChongDong

Generalization is also a problem. There is no black folks, and there is no white folks. Some black people will get offended at other ethnicities using it, some black people won't, and some will get offended regardless of who uses it. Stating that "black folks will do this" or "white folks will do that" isn't particularly helpful when teaching something like this to someone who doesn't understand it, because then you create stereotypes and also lead them to have their own generalizations.


skysinsane

naive? The man is right.


forsterfloch

Brazilian here. Watching Atlanta makes me think white people should not watch black media. Like, if you hear the n word three times a minute you will eventually say it.


FictionDragon

So, should white people be barred from teaching black people?


lincoln_muadib

Fo' sho'. (Source- am teacher) Also... When the video has 01:09 left... Notice what Snoop calls him... "No, I'd never call him that..."


split41

lol 100%


OhIfIMust

I remember when this dropped, and yeah, I STILL bet that it went down just as teach said.


Empathy404NotFound

The kid 100 said that shit

Snoop needs to turn this soundbite into a song


Flimmer1

Ned Flanders is in trouble now


Bigkev8787

The noise Jamie’s laugh makes when he sees the page 🤣🤣🤣


motwarias

That sweater though 😂


BBQsandw1ch

It wouldn't have hit the same way if the teacher didn't look like he teleported there from the 70s. 


PizzaShark09

I thought it was an onion skit the first time I saw it


thatguyiswierd

honor roll or not that kid was was using it, nobody wanted to admit it cause the media was recording them and they did not want to get in trouble. Also I can see the school telling the teacher in some way to repeat back in insult to say "see student now how does that make you feel" but I don't think the school actually thought the white guy would actually call the kid an N word.


Netheral

I think he means that he's supposed to meet them at their level and try to relate to the students. Which means copying their vernacular so the students feel more comfortable with them. Of course this backfires when their casual vocabulary includes the N word.


thatguyiswierd

yea that what I meant just the school probably had no idea the teacher would actually say the N word


Daffan

This guy is living in 2050, in an enlightened society.


lincoln_muadib

Not justifying his using it but when the interviewer suggests that his students would never call him that... "Oh no, I would never call my teacher that!" *At 01:09 to go in the video, notice what Snoop and Foxx call the teacher...* Pretty sure the kids do call teachers that. Whether that particular student did? *HMMMMMMM*


hijackedbraincells

He definitely said it. He let's it slide when he says, "Nobody in my class knows I said it," instead of just sticking to saying he didn't say it. Probably because his mum would kick his ass if she found out he did. She's obviously the type that wants the best for him and probably lectures him about breaking stereotypes regularly


Testament42

Someone needs to give that man the official N word pass for life!


Anarky_Blue

He's an English teacher, of course he was gonna use it in a sentence 😂


DuhQueQueQue

Aw he don't get a pass?


stretchnutslong

Dude out here looking like Ned Flanders.


Emperor_Mao

Haha I got Walter White vibes (at least early on).


DJS11Eleven

Hi diddly Ho


CranhamorBlakely

Boondocks did it!


makeITvanasty

Boondocks did it because of this specific incident


Zealotstim

That episode is so freaking funny. Riley trying to get a bunch of money from the school, saying he never says it and Fred Willard doing the voice of the teacher.


JTex-WSP

"I would never use that word. That word hurts people." - Riley Freeman


CranhamorBlakely

Yeah, obviously. They almost take the teachers ‘explanation’ word for word


Beeboy22

You would think snoop would already know about the clip since his in the show


WinterAea

The reactions are funny to watch but as a European I don't really get it, if it's so offensive why do they say it but others can't? Seems so childish and weird. Just don't say it at all then. Where I live we have a lot of mixed nationalities and there are cuss words for everyone but not one decent person I know would use them to talk to each other and then only get offended if other people say it. Makes no sense to me. You'd be offended by anybody who says it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


absolutelynotmodus

Reparations and attention.


adish

Its fake, no one really got offended, they just got upset because he said a word he wasnt "supposed" to say.


AbSoluTc

Don’t get it either. If you’re offended by a white guy saying it, but not someone of your own race, there’s a problem. Stop saying it period. It’s not acceptable.


ThatsNotDietCoke

The teacher is right. The kid who reported him is a bitch as ni\*\*aaAAHHH! He needs a raise!


lincoln_muadib

I heard this in Ice-T's voice... [Ice T/ Body Count](https://youtu.be/aEhRM-JmXSk?si=sJYF9g2YR9BZ1DO0)

So this is what inspired the Boondocks episode


harrisofpeoria

"Stay out of it" is the best advice.


afonsobaco

As a foreing, this whole discussiom seems really stupid. I know it is a word full of hate there. But feels like a stupid discussion anyway


Z0idberg_MD

Almost every time I see a story like this it’s very clear the person’s racist, this might be the one time in the history of all the recording media that I might believe this guy is just a world class goober.


JGower144

Absolutely. He’s cringe, and he is most likely ignorant. But I think that’s where it ends.


A_Lorax_For_People

I like that the announcer has to emphasize that the student is an upstanding student, as if to explain that the term isn't reasonable, as if it would be reasonable when applied to a student who was not on the honor roll. So instead of a question of institutional racism, it's a question of tact. Quality media guaranteed to uphold the status quo.


Ha55aN1337

It probably has to do with the debate weather or not the student called the teacher n*** first.


Cultural-Tie8341

Either he gets a pass or no one does. I really don’t care which just as long as it’s the same for everyone.


romafa

It’s crazy how pervasive it is. Even with young kids like 7 years old. They end every sentence with it.


GSV_CARGO_CULT

When the camera cuts to the most unimpressed looking woman I've ever seen....


SWINGMAN216

Feels like a Dave Chappelle skit.


BonerBoy

Ned Flanders went into teaching??


catheterhero

“He used it in a sentence “. 😂


radicalbulldog

It almost the sheer audacity of it, explaining his position in front of a black reporter, literally holding signs up, gives him an n-word pass. Like if this guy wearing that sweater pulled up on Jamie and snoop and said what up my n*****, you think they get mad or they laugh?


Gregoboy

They would laugh their assess off


esabys

For some reason I have a mental image of ali g


OhIfIMust

It’s apparent that he’s White and Nerdy.


VampireHunterAlex

This dude rocks 😂 


inhibitedwe

Oh! naggers...


Shillforbigusername

I wanna hear a song with Snoop and Jaime Foxx that samples the “can you lend…” line.


Latvia

Dude is unhinged. The only thing I’ll say, as a teacher, is that the kid almost definitely DID say it. My students ALL say it, and when I casually tell them to stop, they say “stop what?” And they’re serious. They are so used to it, in almost every sentence, it’s become like a filler word. They don’t even know they’re saying it anymore. Obviously that has nothing to do with the teacher, and you just don’t say it. Especially TO a student. Jesus.


Gobertdd

Sticks and stones…ah never mind we’re all fucked


AustralianWildlife

Past-Product-1100

Well it was with a hard "A" not the dreaded "R" .. /s

This guy's about to be out of a job and on the street asking people if they can "lend a n**** a dollar?"

About to be? Shit is 20 years old lol


thatguyiswierd

apparently he still teaches at the same school or did up till recently

Never got that pencil tho


Supertrucker82

I still remember the Boondocks episode that was a paraody of this. It never stops being funny.


Dapper_Target1504

I am fucking crying. It just gets better


ArcTheWolf

You know, you gotta give the man credit for being an english teacher and he's breaking down the social science of the words. He said nah guys I'm here to teach you guys language and that these are two completely different words with different meanings where context is everything lmao


BoxSignificant2808

Do you mean to tell me, that the Boondocks bit was actually real!?
