Rapper Tyler, The Creator speaks on the N-Word

New York - In an interview with Hot 97 Wednesday morning, Odd Future rapper Tyler, The Creator said he doesn't care when White people use the word "n*gga." He said caring would "keep the racism alive."

"We don't actually give a f*ck about that shit," the rapper said when asked about white people using the N-Word, HipHopDX reports. Mothaf*ckers who care are the reason racism is still alive." When confronted about the historical view of the term as being derogatory, he commented on the people who have fought for racial equality in the past. "That's sick. That's cool," he said of those who fought for racial equality and against the derogatory terms in the past. "I guess people my age, we're not even thinking like that. When you think like that, you keep the racism alive, when that's not even on our palette."
