Morgan Wallen says ‘I was just ignorant’ after video showed him using racial slur | Nightline

1. Oh lord, where I’m from in New York we use that word like everyday growing up. I definitely don’t use the word anymore though.

2. Just bein real how come black people can call us crackers but they get offended when it slips out when your intoxicated

3. Sorry I got caught bla bla blaaaaa

4. Morgan wallen for president!!!

5. This reminds me of the TV channel bounce where they won't say hell or ass but they sure as hell use nigger and if that so dam offensive how could it come out your mouth this world is just so sensitive but not really. Everyone just wants to be seen and look important and in power they will use anything they can to try and control people love my favorite I love our country bunch of winny bitches. #NOTHatespeech #NOTpredatorybehavior #NOTgraphicviolence #NOTmaliciousattacks #NOTcontent that promotes harmful or dangerous behavior.

   Ps.
   First time ever using a #
   my comment from me and everyone In the USA not people that wear tampons and aren't suppost to be

6. Oh my he was drunk and in front of his own house. Why is his neighbor video taping him? We've all said things we shouldn't drunk or sober. Give him a break.

7. He needs to get out that contract and go independent…

8. He didn't do a dam thing wrong. Just cause you say nigg** doesn't automatically make you precidous or racist, come on now……. Plus the nosy fuckin person recording it is a huge bitch for even recording and then going and telling on him

9. lmao that guys lisp

10. What he said was wrong, but the real question is why is his neighbors recording?

11. And to all you clowns in the comments. I'm more black that you.

12. Bend the knee Morgan. Hahahahahah never bow to the mob son

13. Perhaps it’s inappropriate for him to say it. But saying this is racist, is a big reach.

14. this guy comes from bumfuck, grew up poor and answered very honestly, he did not know better and did not think of the connotations of the word. but it wasnt used in a mean or demeaning way, he was genuine in his apology and attempt to change and look outside his worldview (which very few people truly ever do) and seems to have learned his lesson. he also accepted any possible consequences—im not saying give him an award, hes still racist (as are most americans) and ignorant but the double standard of getting mad at this man for being ignorant and honest but defending people like billie eilish or hunter biden in the comments who fucking knew better and grew up way more privileged in a diverse environment, when alot of people in those situations are still closet racists, are stupid. im not trying to enable the MAGA free speech dumbasses here either, no side is completely right and you can think what you want just really examine this and try to have some perspective

15. Get over it bro everyone’s getting butthurt for words man made an honest mistake and is owning up to it let the man be literally everyone says it

16. Maddest thing is he will probably sell more after this. Racist Americans just got a new favourite artist.

17. as a BLACK woman..
    ican honestly say that he wasnt using it in a racial slur. 🙄

18. This comment section is made up of a bunch of bitches. He’s putting in an effort to better himself, and everyone is dismissing him. Y’all are pathetic on god.

    What’re y’all gonna say to me? Let’s hear it? I’m black. I was hurt when he said it. But I got over it. The mans working toward a better future and is hopefully going to learn from his past mistakes.

19. It wouldn't surprise me if this whole thing was a staged stunt for publicity

20. Let’s be honest. How many white country dudes aren’t like this or worse..

21. This word is apparently so “offensive”, almost every modern day rapper and hip hop artist uses it in basically every song. If it’s offensive it’s offensive evenly across the board, not selectively when a white guy says it. All that “well it’s just black culture” is nonsense too, as I said either it’s offensive or it’s not! Nobody would bat an eye if a black person said “cracker” or “honkey” when they were drunk, this is all selective outrage!

22. Love his song “More than my hometown”

23. FOH, Wallen. You're a grown man from Tennessee, you know exactly where that word comes from and what it implies.

24. He’s probably thinking, “Aw god dang it. Now I have to hate non-white people even quieter now…”

25. Oh come on… Although I understand the intense pain this word can cause people, it's also used all over music and social media in the same playful way he obviously meant it when he said it. How do you expect kids to grow up hearing it used the same as "bro" and not pick it up and use it? If you're going to call him out you better call out every other artist that puts it in their songs and talks like that making it so prevalent across all races as a term of endearment now. Language changes and this is unfortunately a word that despite the historical horror behind it, is used in a completely different way now.

26. And how many times has his buddy called him a red neck??
    When you are that tight with someone of another race youcall each other things. Not meant to be derogatory.
    Not a big deal when blacks call each other the n word. Or when young women call each other b's!!

27. Go away, racists. You are all tiny and insignificant. Buh byeee.

28. He didn’t call a black person a racial slur. He used the word “nigga” to refer to his white friend. He learned that word, and to use it the way he did, from black people. Hip-Hop and rap music taught him that. That’s who you should be mad at.

29. If doesn't matter the context or rationale, left wingers want this head as Hunter Biden gets a pass.

30. "How did this happen? Out of nowhere you just refer to someone with a racial slur?" I was waiting for him to respond with NO I GREW UP USING THAT WORD – F this dude, he's self-serving and cocky. Sad part is even though he got put on blast, dropped from his label and banned from the AMC's, there's a ton of people out here that still support him and condone his racist behavior!!

31. No more public pardoning on racism. No more record deal and no more threats.

32. We got your back Wallen! We all make mistakes and he apologized! It is time to move on! He needs live his life and not be shamed because there are people on both sides that say stuff everyday and I'm sure they regret ugly words they have said! We love you Wallen!❤

33. I hate the word…never use the word. It's not spoken in my house. I dont like it when white people say it and I don't like it when black people use it. However…what he said drunk and what Donald Trump said in what he thought was a private conversation, is no worse than what Al Sharpton, Nick Cannon, Chris Rock, Obama, etc, said about white people in public and sober and they still have careers.

34. This a such a softball interview that ABC should ashamed of itself. There was no push back on the behalf of Michael.
    The interview was filled with stupid reminiscent videos to fill up the void in order not to be able talk about any real stuff.

35. The overwhelming majority of racists will never admit to being one.
