We as black people need to stop using that word amongst ourselves. I never use that word but my family and friends use it and I hate when they do. Love your videos. I do not want to meet any of the RU-vidrs I subscribe to I just enjoy watching their videos.
I totally respect what you just said & agree with you 100%, it's a very derogatory & disrespectful word that I personally never use either. God bless you 🙏🤲 friend.
As a biracial woman, I think people in general need to stop using the word.None black people use the word among themselves when referring to black of color.I have heard conversations that you may never be exposed to and I correct them every time.Bp using to the word doesn't give rac-ist whyte people a pass.The racist were using to word long before it became a slang word.Wrong is still wrong .Stop blaming bp just because you think it sounds good to do so.Fortunately , most people regardless of race are good by nature.
I don't think anyone should call anybody names. However, I have always wondered why it is okay for black people to call each other the "N" word. It seems to be okay with them. It's only offensive when a white person says it.
I adopted black and mixed race children. When the “N” word made it into my home I wasn’t happy. Sat all the kids down and told them that that word was not allowed in our home and I had better not ever hear it come out of their mouths. My kids are now in their 20’s and 30’s and to this day they have never spoken that word in my presence. I honestly hate that word.
I was a Foster Parent and adopted children in my care. When they came up for adopted I couldn’t give them away because I loved them like my own! They are treated just like my birth children…all the kids get along very well!
Thank you for sharing this unfortunate experience. I'm a Black Canadian woman living in one of the largest cities in Canada. This year, I have been called a n*gger twice and called a fucking ape once. Each time this happened, I told my boyfriend (who is white), and his response was of anger, sorrow, and disbelief that some people can still be so ignorant. For me, as appalling as it is, I just remind myself that as far as our society has come, in regards to civil rights, there will always be those who choose to remain ignorant, and choose to not comprehend why it is wrong to use derogatory terms against another race. For me, it's just logical to not be hurtful to other people, and that's it. Anyway, Lamont, I'm glad that you completely cut that dude off because he is just not worth your energy. Keep up the great work!! ✌🏾
Ohh so you got a Zaddy... Typical bedw.... Ofc you have to have a Caribbean background. Not too many black American women date Zaddys. Typical black teather
Right Lamont. Lessons learned are that if someone says or does something that makes you uncomfortable, address the issue as soon as possible and be selective on who you let within your personal space.
I am a 52 year old, southern man. I grew up with my parents speaking the N-word all the time. As a consequence, I used it in casual conversation up until I went to college. At that point, I realized how awful that word is. When I hear it, it’s like nails on a chalkboard. There is no reason to ever, ever use that word. I regret having ever used it, but I’m glad that I have been enlightened to that words hurtful nature to many people.
Give us a break. It's just a word. It's no different than calling a white person a honky or a cracker. It's no big deal, because it's just a word. Yes, it's a derogatory term, but so are so many other words used in the English language. In the south, people don't think twice about calling someone a redneck or a dumb hillbilly. But again, they are just words. Just like the children's nursery rhyme goes... "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." I just wish people would grow a damn backbone. If you're that butthurt over a word, then there's something seriously wrong with you. There are so many more important things to get upset about in this world. "Politically correct" is a term used for whiny, overly-sensitive pansies who need everything sugar-coated for them.
Totally agree with you Lamont,he was out of order I think you hold your cool well with him,to me it seems he was taking the piss.your better of by yourself.i admire you.your very honest person and a good person,god bless you xx
I been married to my husband for 20 yrs and raised my 4 boys and then we have 2 boys 10 and 8 yrs old we met online ( old time AOL dail up in a chat room---not all ppl are bad from online )
I’m so sorry this happened to you. You didn’t deserve it. You’re a good person and don’t let anyone change that. You’re so loved by your subscribers⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I know how you feel in a way. I grew up in a neighborhood where I was the only white guy. I can’t count how many times I was called the thing you were feeding the ducks. My wife isn’t white and it pisses certain people off. I don’t care… I just keep trucking. Sorry you went through this Lamont. I love your channel and content.
Oh u can best believe they will tell u it’s not the same lol they call us cracka etc and they get away with it to. U try calling them the nword on here and see how fast u get banned! Go ask the rapper khia what she calls whote people and she gets away with it. That’s why I don’t feel sorry for them lol oh well join the club we all get called slurs
@@capricornqueen322 no it actually isnt the same. Difference is we are not allowed to be a victim no matter what. We are not ever allowed to say anything. No one alive had anything to do with the past, but we still don’t get the same treatment.
You did a great job Lamont, much respect for how you handled that situation. So sorry you not only had to deal with that but your videos got delayed. People are unbelievable. We still love you!!
Speaking of Detroit Ghetto Gas stations, my father was killed in his Detroit Gas station in 1971 by an armed robber. Many interesting stories about the event, some than are almost unbelievable. I would be glad to share these stories with you.
Appreciate your stand on the N word I am English now living in Australia raised NEVER to say the N word Still don't never will now 58 I live in one of the biggest multicultural suburbs in Australia Very proud to have raised a son here who has friends from all over the world Happy to say my boy doesn't see colour just the good in people I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS LAMONT Thanks heaps for your efforts in entertaining your fans xxx
don't let that affect you man. we love your content and POV so don't let one person's actions effect what and who you associate with. Thanks for your content man, the real fans love ya...
Lamont, I am a mutt Native American, Irish, Scottish, and Dutch. To me a person's skin color doesn't bother me, I have friends of about any race and I absolutely hate when I hear someone making racist remarks. We all bleed red. I love you and your channel, keep up the great work you do.
I’m sorry this happened to you. You are good dude. You could’ve punched him in the face right off the jump, called him out directly in the video and put him on blast, but you didn’t, you just cut him out of your life. That dude sounds like a clown and you don’t need him. Much respect to you Sir.
Physical violence over words? Really??? Yeah, you sound stable. I've been called a honky and cracker more times than I can count and I never though to myself that I should punch the idiot that called me that. I guess it's different strokes for different folks...
I'm sorry this happened. It's not ok but you handled it well. My husband and I appreciate your content always and have great respect for you. Thanks for being exactly who you are. Love ya Lamont. ❤
Lamont you've got a great soul, here's Bruce Lee style advice that took me decades to learn. Always stay positive emotionally on the inside, not just out, when dealing with people who are opponents of any love in the world. You can't reason with them. The racist wanted to make you feel angry/sad/confused and control your emotions to dark thoughts, it's their sick game. They feel in control so let them know with your mind and emotions you're onto their con. Their power is gone and have no joy in life. Love you man.
We, as Black people, come in many shades. People have to be mindful of who they are around because you may "fucc around and find out." And just because you're around Black people don't give you a pass to talk reckless.
I like how you handled that Lamont 👏 this is a good lesson for anyone that's wanting to go public with a cool RU-vid channel. I worked in customer service in Property Management for 12 years. I require a lot of "alone time" since I retired 😂
I understand you completely. Sorry this happened to you. Similar stuff has happened to me. I don’t sweat it after the initial anger. There are however some folks who might wonder why I ghosted them. When people show you who they are…
Saw the notification pop up - saw the title - immediately started watching. I love ducks!!! They are so cute!! Ok I’ll shut up and listen to the rest of your video. ❤ Am back: I hate that word with a passion. It is disgusting that that slide just comes out so easily out of your ex friend’s mouth. Glad you dropped him. I’d be in a pissed off mood also if I had to go through that. What a jerk!!
So sorry for ignorance, Lamont. I told my kids, three words I did not want coming out of their mouths: Hate, Can't and the "N" Word. It demeans the person who utters it as much as it does the recipient. No excuse for hatred! Love you! ❤️☮️❤️🙏❤️
Lamont you just can't trust people now days that's one reason why I keep my circle very small it's sad but it's just how it has to be keep the videos coming and we will keep watching you are one of the best very talented RU-vid video creator and you just don't get the Recognition that you so deserve I can't wait until you hit 1 million soon enough.
Dang! I'm sorry to hear you were treated so disrespectfully. It's amazing how you kept your cool. I probably wouldn't have. I'm Native American, half from the Blackfeet tribe in Montana & half from the Suquamish Tribe near Seattle. We've been called prairie n****r or Indian which I hate cuz we aren't from India. Be careful who you meet up, I love your videos & I tell my friends about you.
So sorry this happened to you! I agree with everything you say, but in today’s world, sadly, the same exact thing could happen, even if you met someone across the street, at work event, dating site or anything. While they may not know your RU-vid background people today, you just need to keep your “awares on.” No matter where you meet them.🙏🙏🙏
In my journey through life and having friends of all races, when I was younger I had black friends that called me n with the “a” and it was cool because it was a sign of acceptance to me. I also called them the same, but kept it in our group. I had a pass with those dudes. I was a typical kid into hip hop and all other forms of music. I knew I couldn’t take it to any place else. I look back now and think it was a little cringe but at the same time, I didn’t say it to them around other white people but neither did they. When around a diverse group, we all dropped the street talk and spoke proper and didn’t want to give anyone else the idea that my friends were cool with any ol body saying it. As I grew older, I didn’t say it anymore at all because I learned I didn’t have to have it to gain or give respect. All we had to do was be ourselves. I was lucky to have black friends and get some of that culture at a young age. You get the knowledge of exactly WHY you don’t say that shit, or take on someone else accent or manner of speaking. Plus I still get invited to the cookout. As always, good content Lamont, I feel like this was a vent and you needed it, I’ve got some buddies that would have handled it way differently, and I’ve seen it first hand. You’re also way too cool for not exposing the name of dude. I feel like you should at least do that so others don’t unknowingly keep following him.
Sorry this happened to you Lamont. Here's the flip-side of it. I wonder how he would how felt if you had used a derogatory word about his ethnicity?, seriously?? People really have the nerve when they think they know somebody, yet they don't. It was insensitive and it was a gotcha moment Lamont. A man or woman will eventually say what's really on their mind in the heat of the moment. It's called let their true colors come out by making them angry. Nah, that's why I don't open myself up to people much because you gotta feel people out before opening up to them, especially strangers you know nothing about. People are very unpredictable. As someone over 50 , I definitely know this on a first hand experience .
Lol have u heard the rapper khia call us white people cracka etc etc she calls us all kinds of slurs so please spare us and she isn’t the only one! Y’all get away with that cause we don’t care enough to loot and riot over a slur lol u don’t own words and u def don’t get to tell us what we can say lol facts are there are not good people in all races including yours
We do know how it feels cause trust me black people on twitter and RU-vid do it daily lol like I said difference is we don’t try and get people cancelled over it lol I frankly couldn’t careless if they like me or not and call me a slur lol
Aww the little duck intro was so cute and wholesome , I'm so sorry that happened to u Lamont , u do not deserve that at all, no one deserves to be called a horrible slur like that ever. We always will support u man , ur doing amazing ❤
This makes me so sad and sick especially since I live in Michigan and my daughter has been called a Sand N for years by many ignorant racist scumbags. It sends me flying into a rage because I just remember seeing the look of hurt and shock on her face and I just honestly wish these idiots could understand how badly these words hurt people and enrage their loved ones. My daughter’s father is Lebanese and evidently some ignorant racists have hate for anyone who don’t look like them and it got really bad for my daughter after 911 and I’m really afraid that it’s going to get bad again because of everything going on now.
Thank you for sharing. Kudos to you for handling it the way you did ...no reaction, is better than an explosive reaction, that leads to nowhere and as you said, he is nothing to you, therefore... You acted accordingly. ❤ Keep up the good work Lamont and as the old saying goes. It's better to be alone, than in bad company. 🤗
I don't blame you one bit for getting angry. That guy clearly was disrespectful and was acting like a child in my opinion. Very sad on his part and very immature of him.
Lamont: "Nothing on social media I wouldn't say to your face..." Also Lamont: Does a 21:44 video of not saying things to dude's face. Love your stuff, Lamont! :)
Sir aren’t you black? I’m confused the skin and hair type screams African American but if you eluded that you were to him then he wouldn’t have said that. I would give you biracial as best but clearly not 100% Caucasian 😮
You handled the situation very well, respectfully. I commend you. Hopefully this guy will learn something from this. As I'm watching this video the surroundings looking familiar, i realized i live 5 minutes away from where you're walking!!! Had i known i would have come to say "HI" LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
Hello LAMONT I'm watching from Tucson Arizona, hey I'm sorry you had to go through that bullshit-with you being in the passenger seat. Huge bummer 😞 but I also don't like hearing that word it cringes my soul. Ugh!! Drives me nuts!! I can't even imagine you letting someone else drive you around, because you are at their mercy. But I'm glad you didn't freak out there because who knows what would have happened... scary thought. Anyways Lamont please stay safe out there and thank you for sharing your videos. Love hearing your voice... very nice
I dunno....I suppose its how one looks at it. Perhaps he felt So "Comfortable" with you , and that your acquaintance was More of a Friendship (which it was not), that he felt very comfortable using that term around you. I have a Hunch that this dude doesn't understand that just because people have a common interest, that does not necessarily mean the other person feels the same way. Trust can only be built up over time, with some people. In this case, Fellow RU-vidrs. I've made the same mistake and learned that a common interest does not necessarily mean Instant friendship, etc.. And it varies from culture to culture as well. Black people need to refrain from using the term as well, if the reciprocal is expected. Its just common sense. Thats my ten cents worth.
Many people think that the person they like always thinks the same way as they do. I have had acquitances that have exposed their racist attitudes in my presence, and expected that I agree with them simply because we're on the same wavelength on the other aspects.
First of all, it's obvious that you're leaving a lot of the story out. That's number one number two. Whatever conversation or relationship you had prior made him comfortable enough in front of you to say that word even though he can tell you are biracial and that you have black in you, which obviously you don't want people to know because you did not mention it, so it's not about who you meet up with. It's about making sure that people know where you stand on certain things and make them respect that, but you didn't because he knew how you felt about black people, which is a part of you. That sounds like some personal issues.
Oh no!!! This is disappointing to hear. I used to include him in my jokes because I thought he was a nice guy, not someone who ever would do this. Kind of defeats the purpose of my jokes about him when he is, in fact, a jerk like that. (My jokes assumed he was a nice guy but I'd act like he was a terrible person). You guys went back a few years... sad to hear this.
Agree totally Lamont! You definitely don’t need to involve others in your videos. Even though this person got you heated, you actually still were very respectful to whom it may concern. If he sees this hopefully he’ll get it and be more careful of what comes out of his mouth,because you definitely could’ve done this a different way by calling him out to all of us. Keepin real but respectful as always,that’s how you roll,and we appreciate that…safe travels and God bless
Stay safe Lamont! Some people have no common sense at all. You handled this situation professionally. Thank you for all the videos you do for us to watch! Stay safe!
I'm so sorry that happened to you! That was awful of him to say something so offensive. Some people just don't seem to have a filter, common sense or just any decency. It shouldn't surprise me anymore but it still does. Please know that not all of us are like him. I'm sure you do, but just saying. I couldn't imagine saying something so offensive to someone I don't know anything about, but especially someone I respect for what they do, or who they are. Glad that you didn't stoop to his level and insult him or rage out. But yeah, I would write off someone that nasty as well. I started following you in 2021 shortly after my dad passed away. That's when I started watching RU-vid videos of cemetery walk throughs. I don't really know why, but I felt some kind of comfort in the stories I heard. And keeping the person's memory alive in many ways keeps that person alive! My mom started watching the same kinds of videos and channels around the same time. I guess there is something to them! The first video of yours that I saw was the one at the dollhouse grave and your respect and kindness toward that little girl's story and her family definitely impressed me and I've been following you since. I don't do any RU-vid videos cause I know I could never be able to deal with nasty people on here. But I hope to one day be able to say hi to you in person whether at a Michigan cemetery or if I finally go to Crimecon which I really want to do (though not sure about the next one cause dang, the cost is crazy!) But either way, thank you for what you do and I hope you continue doing videos for a long time! Take care and stay safe out there!
You had something similar happen to you like this one of your channels I don’t remember which one. Anyway, I don’t blame you for not wanting to ever do something like that again that would annoy the hell out of me too. You do a great job by yourself to me you are relaxed and everything just comes together perfectly. I’ve always been doing everything solo and that’s the way I like it. Some people don’t like that I do it that way but to bad that’s just the way I roll. Keep up the great work Lamont and I see you on the next one.
Detroit? You need to be very very careful Lamont. Detroit is a very dangerous place second only to Chicago in my opinion. Don't trust anyone in that city Lamont. Please be careful
Where is your location in this vid? The trees are very pretty. Sort of like New England where I’m from. I would of never got in some weirdo RU-vidr’s car. Very dangerous. Was he on some kind of drug?
Yep, me too! Wow, I had to rip someone a new one recently because he needed it! You did your duty respecting your brand! Happy for you immensely! Lamont.
Yeah, I'd have to Uber back to my vehicle after experiencing that. When I get enraged into silence, I have to distance myself from whatever's causing it.
This has to be about "Treasure Troller", saw a video on his channel that featured you called 'In *the D* with lamont'. In the video he also mentioned that you guys were going to visit some gas-stations. That being said, I don't believe this is a true story 😆
This is why I don't have friends. Some people just suck. I don't hang around people who talk like that and I hate being around people who curse all the time.
I'm with you brotha. I'm ashamed to be one of these things called HUMAN myself. And I've been spending time with these so-called HUMANS myself my whole life and I haven't got a break yet!
That's a person with little if any boundaries - sad . And you handled it great ! Just saying - to scream out the window it alone , but screaming that stuff especially - you could of been shot or hurt ! Sorry that was the case but I am sure i am not following this gem of a guy - because I truly am a great judge of character - may be if nothing else in life lol- l have that . And this my friend is why i love you and your channel . Thx Lamont for the hard work you always put in ! It shows . Also I always look forward to your commentary kiddo ! It's great !
Too many 'rules' around who can use that word, and who can't. It just needs to go away, completely, OR, it need to be accepted that it's an insult, but no more than being called an 'A**hole". Personally, I cannot stand hearing it, no matter what color mouth it comes out of, or what the context behind it is. But if EVERYONE cannot stop saying, than ANYONE should be able to say it.
I liked an urban exploration collab you did some years ago - it went pretty well. You were all exploring some kind of dam - an old abandoned power plant. (if I remember right ) Difference was, you were with pro RU-vidrs, like yourself. It was like an urbex “A-Team”, and it was a lot of fun!
That’s the correct way to handle this situation! You handled it like a real man should have. No violence no cursing great job! Way to keep your composure.
