Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Glamour and How Stuff Works. This is Broken Hearts.
Listen and follow on the I Heart Radio app or
wherever you listen to podcasts. All episodes of Broken Hearts
are now available, So binge the entire season said that
don't get the same man you are. It's donkey today

(00:25):
does not discriminate. I might not have the song of today,
but I got to donkey that. So if you ever
feel I need to be a dog man, practice club bit,
just don't keep the day today, Well, donkey today for
Tuesday to a young college student named Jasmine Barkley. Jasmine
attends William Patterson University, where she served on the board.

(00:47):
I believe it was the William Patterson Greek Senate Executive
Board because according to the Instagram, she resigned yesterday. Now,
the reason she resigned is because Jasmine is a white
woman who, uh you know, along with her friend, decided
to let the N word fly and a couple of
videos on Twitter. Now, Jasmine's friend is a cheerleader at
Penn State University, and already told you. Jasmine goes to

(01:08):
William Pattison University. Now a legend tells it, and according
to William Pattison school newspaper to Beacon. The newspaper quoted
Jasmine Is saying she was upset that her friend was
harassed for singing along to the lyrics A Freaky Friday
by Little Dicky and Chris Brown. Now, when I first
heard this record, I told you all what was gonna
happen In that song. A Little Dickey absolutely positively called

(01:30):
you the N word through an N word. Now, Jasmine
decided to get online and ask the question, is it
wrong for her to say the N word if it's
in the song? Let's go to Jasmine Barcley's Twitter Police
Manai's that is just pure hellman's mayonnaise right there, so disgusting.

(01:55):
Now here's the thing, White people, if you have to
ask the question on whether or not to use to
the N word is appropriate, don't say the whole word.
Please please, please, please please please please please please please
please please please don't say the whole word. Okay, I mean,
it's just it's just not necessary. It's not necessary to
say the whole word when asking the question. Okay, when
you're asking the question, just say, hey, can I use

(02:19):
the N word in a song? Don't you think? Huh?
And you know it didn't even bother me. Uh, it
didn't bother me that she asked that question. I'm not
offended by that question because this question has been asked
for a long time. First time I heard this discussed
was Girlfriends season two, episode thirteen. It was the assister
Sister episode. You remember that when Lyn's Caucasian adopted sister,

(02:41):
Tanya came to town and Tanya loved black culture and
she was wrapping along too a jay Z song if
I remember correctly, and she said the N word. So
it is a valid question. Okay. I can see how
a white person can be confused and asked that, especially
when so many of their favorite artists who happened to
be black, used the word. I get it. None of
you all are riding around listening to the clean edits
of any of those records. Okay, they don't clean. They
don't play the clean edits to those records and parties.

(03:02):
I get it. So asking the question wasn't wrong other
than her saying the whole word. Okay, that you know.
So that was that was light, Mannise. But this next
video I'm about to play is where the Manna's got heavy,
all right and too much Mannai's ruins the sandwich. This
is Jasmine's friend and I believe this is after they
asked the question on Twitter and getting didn't get the
response they had hope for. I'm sure people told her no,

(03:25):
she can't use it. So Jasmine's friends said, this boy,
the white this is crazy. Ye that girl went the
pen State, but one of them going Toole. But the
white devil is so busy? Man, What in the name
of Miracle Whipper is going on out here in these streets? Now?

(03:47):
I don't know that young lady's name. I just know
she is a Penn State chier leader and I can't
believe she's still on the chileading team. Do you really
want someone on the sideline who may, at any given
moment break out into a chair of and g A,
you don't need that alright, same way Jasmine Barkley had
to resign from William Patterson's board, her friend from Penn
State should have to step down from Chile. And okay,

(04:08):
if she already has correct me on social media, so
I can correct myself. And if you know her name,
let me know too, so I can give her the
credit she deserves for being stupid. Now Jasmine has apologized.
And the reason I found out about her apology and
found out about this situation period is because I somehow
ended up in her apology. Now shut up, now, I'm

(04:29):
not reading all of this man He's field manuscript. Okay,
but this letter was published in the WPU Beacon, and
it's titled an open letter to my friends, Pierce College community,
and niggas who would like a better understanding of the
statements made in my video. Oh no, that's others. Oh
my goodness. She starts off by saying I am not
a racist. The video has been misconstrued in many ways

(04:51):
across the media. I admit that the places, in context
of how I presented my question was insensitive. Man, he's man,
He's man, He's man, He's ben. Okay, let's get this
some good stuff. Man, he's man, Jasmine says, when an
interracial group sings along the lyrics, including the N word,
people don't call out those who are not black, uh,
for singing along. I posed the controversial question because I
was upset that my friend was harassed for singing the

(05:11):
lyrics to Freaky Friday by Little Dicky and Chris Brown.
I was simply questioning why one race is more rights
to freedom of speech and another man he's managn Okay, Okay,
here's what a man these manuscript gets of interest to me.
Jasmine Barkley says Leonard McKelvey and Leonard Leonard and in
parentheses put Charlemagne the God was posted on a YouTube

(05:32):
channel speaking on this topic. In the video, he states,
until black stop using the N word, we can't get
mad at nobody else for using the N word. Man,
he's man, he's managed. Man. Oh. Charlemagne feels it's hypocritical
for a person to use the N word and expect
others uh to not use it as well. Another shut up,
This is two thousand thirteen, anyway. Another comment he makes

(05:53):
is about how if Martin Luther King Jr. Would have
come back to life, they wouldn't be shocked by white
people using the N word, but by those of the
black race using the N word. Okay, I would like
to put a lid on this jar of helmets because
this is all out of context. First of all, this
video was done in two thousand thirteen, totally different climate,
and we weren't talking about white people using the N
word in a racist context. We were talking about white
people using the N word the way we use it

(06:14):
and in songs. Man, I understand you did ask the
question at first, but your friend was just being disrespectful,
and the fact you posted that video of your friend
lets me know you wasn't sincere with your question to
begin with. Now, I still feel ashypo critical to get
upset at them using it in that context, because through
music and other outlets, we are giving them a reason
to use it. But understand, Jasmine, I don't speak for

(06:34):
all black people. Okay. That interview was from blad TV,
and he asked me how I feel. You know, if
you were white and choose to use that word as
a white person, you have to deal with the consequences, okay,
and repercussions of that. And in this climate and this
Trump era, you are a double damn fool to use
that word in any context. I don't I don't care
which one of your favorite rappers is saying it, all right,
don't let one of your favorite rappers caused you to

(06:55):
get your ass beat. Okay. I told you all that
Freaky Friday song by Little Dicky was gonna cause these problems.
I understand this art, but a Little Dicky shouldn't even
feel comfortable calling people the N word through an N word. Now,
this is why I was tickled at all. Right, Jasmine
referenced to me saying that Martin Luther King Jr. Other
Black historic figures would have come back to life and
how they would feel about the N word. Let's hear
what I told Black TV in two thousand thirteen, Martin

(07:18):
Luke King Jr. And Malcolm X Is to come back
a lot of the day, right. You know what they'd
be shocked at. They be shot at me using the
N word, be like, what is your problem? They'd be
in utter shock. It's like the episode of Bond. Doctor
Martin Luke King Jr. Was looking around these mothers, was like,
what the oh y'all doing it? Like this what we
died for? Now? Jasmine, you left out the part while

(07:38):
I was referencing the Bulldocks. You know the Boone Ducks
is a cartoon right, Season one episode nine called Return
to the King or Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Came
back and couldn't believe black people was using the N word.
By the way, that episode was controversial when to theage.
You know why it was controversial because people did not
like uh them depicting MLK Jr. Using the N word

(07:59):
in the episode Old Okay, Actually, I'm okay. Junior said,
it's the ugliest word in the English language. Play that clip.
And I know some of you don't want to hear
him and say that word. It's the ugliest word in
the English language. But that's what I see. Now. It's

(08:21):
a cartoon, and Martin Luther King Jr. Is black? Okay, keyword,
He's black. Alright, So what have we learned this morning, Jasmine? One,
the fact that you referenced me referencing the Boondocks is legendary, alright,
but understanding that is a hypothetical scenario from a cartoon,
and I stand by what I said, but it's still
a hypothetical scenario from a cartoon. And number two, the
most important thing that you are, any white person needs

(08:42):
to know is that if you're white and you use
the N word, I probably won't care if it's in
the proper context, but I don't rep for all black people.
If you use the N word, no matter what context,
you have to deal with the consequences. Okay, how are
you gonna use the N word? Asking can you use
the N word. That's what I said earlier. That's is silly.
So all I'm telling you, Jasmine, is that this is

(09:03):
your Mannai's mess and you have to clean it up,
all right, So please give Jasmine Barkley. And I just
found out the other woman's name is Caitlin Listro, the
biggesty hull, all right,
