S1E7 - N*gga Luvahs Pt. 2

Dungeons 'n' Durags: The Podcast

[Reposted from the now defunct Ebony Podcast Network]

On the last episode of the show, Ron, JD, and Yolanda explored the use of the n-word in film and art. This week the crew revisits the topic by specifically addressing the issue of whether white people should ever be able to say that word (outside of an acting role). You’ll also hear from half a dozen other filmmakers sharing their thoughts on the topic.
