Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

I'm Karen Hunter, and as long as I've been on the air on Sirius XM, Urban View,

we're talking powers and becomes action.

I have been anti-N word.

There was something about, not that I've,

you know, I've never used the word, but I've recognized that words are powerful. When you speak things out into the universe, it gathers energy. And I have always been anti. I'll have the clips

that we play. They'll be bleeped and that has really become

more poignant now more so than ever as we watched a woman raised damn near a million dollars

calling a five-year-old child on the spectrum the N-word multiple times in Rochester, Minnesota.

And it got me really not just concerned, but this is the time that we should be considering

whether or not this word should be banned from our lips, black people, from our minds,

from our music.

So I had this conversation with Don Calloway on the air, and I'm sharing it with you.

What do you think?

Follow me at Karen Hunter on all social

media platforms and Karen Hunter Show on Instagram as well and go to Karen Hunter Show.com if you want to

send me an email. All right. Up next, my inward conversation with Don Callaway. We've been conditioned to

have these kind of like real circular weird, uh, the same kind of tropey conversations.

So when people are required to actually think they're not equipped to do it, so they fall back on their, you know, defenses,

and then they respond in a way just, you know, emotionally.

And, you know, critical thought and processes aren't really part of it.

But I want to start this way.
