    This kid is amazing, but yet it is so sad that it takes a 10 year old kid to demonstrate common sense that many black adults do not possess but yet should already have. More on Black America and the n-word follows:

    This is an amazing young man, however, it is so sad that it takes a 10 year old kid to demonstrate to grown a.. adults why they should not refer to one another as the n-word.

    Amazing oration. This topic should have more replies than that stupid topic about Usher getting a divorce. Black people can be so backwards.

    This child possess a great sense of pride. His had so much conviction in his voice as he spoke, meaning what he was saying was truly of great importance not just to the people he was speaking to, but also to himself. Job well done and not only his parents, but everyone one should be proud of this young man taking a stand and voicing it so eloquently. Very touching indeed.

    I am sitting in awe of this young man. It makes me so proud when I see younger people articulating their views in such a powerful way. This young man has an amazing future and what makes me even happier is the fat that there are thousands of little black children just like him all over the world, they just need people who expect them to succeed, and healthy/positive environments that stimulate their growth. I am so proud.

    Absolutely AMAZING!!!…This young man has definitely proved his point regarding the elimination of the N word. I wholeheartedly agree with his opinion and the opinion of many others who believe that the N word should be abolished…Thank you Johnathan for taking a stand and showing so much love for the integrity of our race!!!

      We can start by not using it so flippantly among ourselves. It won’t wipe the word out overnight, but it’s a start. Quite a number of words in the English language have fallen out of favour over the centuries. It’s high time people started discarding this one.

      What’s ironic is that people want to say that “we’ve taken the N-word back” and it’s now an endearment or whatnot, but they’d beat the living daylights out of a non-Black person who dared to call them that. ‘Taken it back’, my foot.

    What a wonderful 6 minutes that was! I applaud this young man and wish him the very best for the future. I hope his wish comes true well before he is a grown man.

    God bless him!
