Bullied in High School

I didn't, everyone around me, I even called some of my African American friends. Everyone that I talked to, I talked to like 4 black dudes, and when I showed them the video, they were like, I didn't tell them what it was about, and I let it, I just let the video play over it, and the video finished, and they were like, what part was it? And I had to go back, and they're like, are you kidding me? And then they're like, you can't apologize for something like that, because you are gonna fuck up. Like, there's gonna be times where you're gonna say something that's gonna literally actually offend people and like save your apologies for the times that you have to apologize. And that's why I didn't send the apology out, 'cause they're right. I mean, it wasn't, I even wanna defend the guy for saying the N-word because we don't know where he grew up. We don't know how that's like a normal part of his life. I don't know if he, for all we know, he could have black parents. Like we don't know that. It's just, I didn't even think about it because just talking to the guy and how casually he said that word, I didn't think much of it. And that's why when I, people even accused me, they're like, David did it to piss people off. Not at all. None of the people I showed it to, not even me when I was editing it, for a second thought that it was bad.

And so David cuts it together, he shows it to a bunch of people including me, and I watch it and I'm like, this is hilarious. Like This is awesome, this is exactly how it happened. So awesome that we're capturing, David captured this thing that happened that…
David23:48
Is that how it happened? Basically, yeah, I mean, I guess you can't really add anything to that.
Jason23:52
So now David obsesses for the next 5, 6 hours, let's say he posts at 3, by 9 o'clock he's still writing an apology for people. I don't know if he posted it, wondering what he should do.

Yeah, you don't do things to piss people off. No, like there was— You don't do that at all.

There wasn't even a second where I was like, maybe I shouldn't put this in. Because I just thought this is just a minority. Who's using the N-word. And I mean, if it was a white guy, I wouldn't have put it in, you know, not for a second. But like, it just, ju…

I have Korean friends who use the N-word all the time.
