Hannah Brown says she took the time to get educated about white privilege and learn why she can't ever use the n-word (via toofab)
"The death of George Floyd is happening and there’s so much suffering and anger I didn’t want to offend anybody," she said about her hesitation in speaking out now when there are"Black Lives Matter" protests occurring nationwide, she ultimately realized"it's not about the right time. It's about the right thing.""I don’t think the right thing right now is to be silent," she said at the to of her video."I hope that I’m not offending anybody.
George Floyd was killed while handcuffed and face-down on the concrete with four officers reportedly kneeling on him. Former officer Derek Chauvin was captured on video with his knee on Floyd's neck, a position he held for nearly nine minutes . Amid pleas for relief, Floyd was captured saying,"I can't breathe," which has become one of the rallying cries in the latest protests. Chauvin was ultimately arrested on 3rd degree murder charges. The other three officers have not been charged, but were fired from their jobs, as was Chauvin.While it may seem awkward timing for Brown to come forward now to address her n-word controversy, it's actually incredibly appropriate.
Brown has clearly taken a hard look in the mirror, and even said that she's taken the time to get educated about race and why it's problematic for her to use the n-word, even when singing along with a black artist who's using it. "If I can say this word slipped out of my mouth, then what slipped into my heart?" she says she asked herself after fully realizing what she'd done. Brown had initially insisted she never uses the word, and always omits it when singing along to songs that do.
