As a policy update, we'd like to clarify a moderation stance on people who police a minority on reclamation of the n-word. This also applies to comments that everyone should be able to use the n-word as well. To be clear, these kind of comments are unacceptable. Going forward, such comments will be actioned appropriately. Please report such posts that violate the above policy.
We're rebooting this thread to try again with this policy clearly stated. If you have questions or concerns, please PM a mod captain, Hecht or Selina, directly. Thanks.
Kendrick inviting people up onto the stage to sing along with him is a normal occurrence - regardless of the race of the person. This itself was not out of the norm. What was out of the norm was the person he invited onto the stage saying the n-word as a white person. That is and was abnormal. Posts that push the blame onto Kendrick will be actioned appropriately.
Oh dear....
The incident happened during a performance of the rapper's track "M.A.A.D City"
Rapper Kendrick Lamar called out a white fan he invited onstage with him for using the n-word.
Lamar - who was performing his hit "M.A.A.D City" at Hangout Festival on Sunday night - invited a white, female fan named Delaney onto the stage with him, but was forced to interrupt her after she repeatedly used the n-word during the track.
During the Alabama festival, the Compton rapper stopped the music when he heard the fan rap the racial slur multiple times.
Lamar proceeded to say "you got to bleep one single word, though," referring to the fan's use of the n-word.
The fan replied saying it was an absentminded mistake: "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I do it? I'm so sorry… I'm used to singing it like you wrote it."

She's lucky she isn't in the UK as she would probably end up doing jail time for inciting hatred/hate speech.
