Ward speaking, says that he doesn't like the usage of the "n" word by Lopez' pop. Ward now says naw, Lopez wasn't exposed. But yes, he has to shore some things up, says Ward. Kriegel said maybe we all over-hyped Lopez. He calls this necessary step in growth

I dont think it was used as a racial slur in that context at all. It's just common hood slang people of all races who come from that type of environment use all the time.
I don't agree with it, but let's not make it a race thing.Comment

If Ward has used it. Wasn't Ward raised by a single white parent?
Doesn't mean he's okay with it. Ward strikes me as an intelligent brother who knows that it's oppression regardless of if it comes from his own people or not.Comment

Well of course he's not okay with it. It's a common vernacular though. Nothing to do with oppression in cases like this.Comment
