In American society, it is widely acknowledged that white people should not say the n-word. Nor should they rap it. Nor should they rap it on stage at a Kendrick Lamar performance in front of thousands of people.
One white-appearing woman, identified in a video as "Delaney," learned that lesson the very public way at Alabama's Hangout Festival on Sunday. Lamar invited Delaney onstage during his song "M.A.A.D. City," which chronicles the rapper and recent Pulitzer Prize winner's experiences growing up in Compton.
The song contains 15 instances of the slang word "n---a," three of which Delaney rapped with abandon. Until the music stopped halfway through the song.
"What's up? Aren't I cool enough for you?" she said, according to video of the incident posted on social media. The packed crowd can be heard booing and cursing at the woman.
"You got to bleep one single word," Lamar said.
Delaney admitted it was an honest mistake: "Did I do it? I'm so sorry ... I'm used to singing it like you wrote it."
Lamar allowed the visibly embarrassed woman to stay on stage and restart the song. Delaney sang along once more; this time, with the racial epithets noticeably absent.
Critics have long debated whether it is appropriate for white people to sing or rap the n-word if it appears in song lyrics. Given the historical use of the word as a racial epithet, many people believe a white person should avoid saying the word in any context.
On a November tour stop for his book "We Were Eight Years in Power," Atlantic columnist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates said he sees the word as a teaching moment for white people.

This was a set up that back fired on the social media. I predict it will be all over the news later today.
Get a white fan to join you on stage to rap a song with you that has the n-word and then chastise them when they follow the so called lyrics.
Here are some other headlines
"Kendrick Lamar calls out white fan for saying N-word on stage"
"Kendrick Lamar interrupts white fan after she raps the N-word on stage (WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE)"
"KENDRICK LAMAR Stops Show for White Fan
NO SAYING THE N-WORD ONSTAGE!!!"
"Kendrick Lamar Halts Performance After White Fan Raps N-Word On Stage"
It's easy to see how some headlines are leaving out the part about him inviting the fan to rap with him.
I agree with Kendrick Lamar:
White people shouldn’t sing/rap rap music.
White people shouldn’t listen to rap music.
White people shouldn’t go to rap music concerts.
White people shouldn’t spend any money on rap music.
I’m glad that Kendrick Lamar and I are on the same page on this.
As I said, Stupid white people going to rap concerts and expecting to be excepted.
If he was trying to make a point, and I believe he was, he did a good job making it.
...Except I take exception to expecting acceptance without certain expectations.
accepted not excepted. My bad.
I think he planned the entire incident.
Racism seems to be endemic in the Black community and rap music inflames the feeling.
Anyone who buys or otherwise supports the ‘art’ should be ashamed of themselves.
Delaney admitted it was an honest mistake: "Did I do it? I'm so sorry ... I'm used to singing it like you wrote it."
If you don’t want other people to sing your songs, you shouldn’t publish them.
>>” It will give you just a little peek into the world of what it means to be black. Because to be black is to walk through the world and watch people doing things that you cannot do, that you can’t join in and do.”
His point is stupid and wrong and he’s a black separatist by his way of thinking.
He wanted to put her in her place.
It was a trap and even black and brown people on fakebook (with names and profile pictures to match) could see that.

White Guy About to Hit First ‘N-Word’ in Kanye West Karaoke
https://thehardtimes.net/music/white-guy-hit-first-n-word-kanye-west-karaoke/
Local white guy Randy Murphy brought unexpected tension and horror to O’Malley’s Bar & Grill late last week when he — seemingly unaware of the social landmines littered throughout the song — approached the first “N-word” in a karaoke version of Kanye West’s “All Falls Down,” according to fellow patrons.
Murphy, allegedly visiting O’Malley’s on a first date with Economics undergrad Jessica Almer, made the uninformed choice of song after consuming several “O’Malley Coronaritas” — a margarita mixed with beer — in a misguided effort to impress his date with his knowledge of hip-hop, selecting the track without first screening the lyrics for language that could cause his social demise.
“I could tell he was in trouble right away,” said Almer. “He slurred his words and couldn’t keep up with the song. And when Kanye rhymes ‘third’ with ‘career,’ [Murphy] just kind of stared at the screen for a second. I think he realized what was coming.”
Some of Murphy’s roommates were at O’Malley’s that night as well, and agreed their friend likely didn’t know what he’d done until it was too late.
“We’re here every Tuesday,” said longtime friend Anthony Van Dyke. “Wouldn’t miss it. They got four dollar Margaronas tonight, ya know? That’s where they put tequila into your beer. Anyway, Randy picked this song, and I remember thinking, ‘Oh, sh!t. Did Randy pick this song?’ Doesn’t he know what’s about to happen?”
Witnesses say Van Dyke dashed for the stage to try to stop the imminent racial slur, but was too late.
Richard O’Malley, owner and proprietor of O’Malley’s, later vowed to have the song removed as soon as he could “figure out the damn machine,” which he insisted is “a piece of sh!t that only that attracts punk kids and needs more Eagles songs.”
Management at O’Malley’s comped the meals and drinks of those in attendance, later announcing Karaoke Tuesdays would be on “indefinite hiatus” while issuing an apology for Murphy’s “extremely hard R.”
NOT the only bad karaoke landmine...
Karaoke Singer Doesn’t Know What to Do During “War Pigs” Instrumentals
https://thehardtimes.net/news/karaoke-singer-doesnt-know-war-pigs-instrumentals/
Karaoke enthusiast Dain Whitcomb had “no idea” what to do during the instrumental parts of Black Sabbath’s classic song “War Pigs,” according to eyewitnesses uncomfortably watching the performance.
“When we heard that intro, we were like, ‘F@ck yeah, dude! Sabbath!’” said Sean Trew, a drinking buddy of the bewildered singer. “Bro, if we remembered how little singing there was on it, we probably would’ve snatched that slip of paper outta his hands.”
The bearded Whitcomb, drenched in flop sweat, resorted to a series of time-killing strategies, each one more disastrous than the last. At one point, the 34-year-old adult man simply flailed around on stage during one particularly long instrumental.
“He started air guitaring, which looks really weird when you’re holding a mic,” said Darlene Gore, Whitcomb’s ashamed date. “He even did that thing where he pretended to lick the neck of the air guitar, but he overshot it and actually licked the mic handle by accident. So gross.”
When the air guitaring didn’t work, Whitcomb switched to rhythmically challenged air drumming. “He was killing me with those snares,” moaned Trew. “Don’t even get me started on how he abused that invisible hi-hat.”
Things took a turn for the avant-garde when Whitcomb began an interpretive dance on the bar floor. “I think he was trying to play-act the war pigs burning in Hell,” Gore said. “Ozzy must be rolling in his grave. Wait — is Ozzy still alive? Seriously? Wow.”
Witnesses confirmed the desperate Whitcomb threw horns at the audience with reckless abandon, jutting out his tongue and bugging out his eyes. “People had trouble making eye contact at that point,” reported karaoke jockey Russ Nesmith.
Abandoning all hope, the despondent singer finally sat on the monitor, waiting for Tony Iommi’s diabolical fretwork to end.
“He does this all the time,” Nesmith revealed. “Guy’s got a lot of heart, but he always picks these songs with lots of dead air on the mic. Last week it was ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ the week before that, ‘Lust For Life.’ I almost lost my KJ gig here after he started treating tables like gongs during ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart.’”
Sources report Whitcomb’s next song in the rotation is the full-length version of Iron Maiden’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.”
I think it was an incredibly mean spirited thing to do to a young fan. If you saw the lyrics, the word is used multiple times through out the song. A concert is suppose to be fun & enjoyable for the attendees. Who had the control and the power? Exactly. Cruel ash hole. I hope he lost lots of white fans.
It definitely back fired on him. It will probably be on fox and friends in the morning and on “The Five” in the afternoon and Hannity at night. He will get a lot of free publicity and more stupid fans because of this.
He will probably gain white fans. Some are that stupid.
He had to do something, Retard Gambino has had 167,000,000 clicks on his youtube rap video against white people in America.
Not so sure. Been quite a brouhaha on Twitter. People offering to sell their tickets.
I hope you are right!
Obama, the community organizer in chief, planned the entire incident.
Obama runs the hip hop industry's culture war campaign through his pawn Jay-Z.
Kendrick Lamar is clearly part of this effort.
Just like Pete Seeger did for folk music.
apparently accurately quoting a black man is now racist.
