Jill Scott Gets Called the N-Word

Posted by Bossip Staff

Jill Scott outside Regis and Kelly

Jill Scott explains a recent incident where she was called a nigger and how she handled it:

“I was waiting outside for the valet to bring the car round, and these … I say kids, but they must have been 25, looking wealthy, five-o’clock-in-the-morning wasted. And this guy’s saying, ‘Step back nigger, step back nigger.’ He’s saying it like it’s a song, but there’s nobody out there but me. I was taken aback, and I said, ‘Excuse me?’

And he said, ‘Shut your mouth and don’t say a word when a white man is talking.’

“I’m not kidding. I started laughing, and I followed him and his cohorts through the parking lot laughing hysterically, and they became more and more uncomfortable. It was one of the best moments of outrageous laughter I’ve had. To think for one moment I could possibly fit into that box … I am so far from that word that it is funny. They looked so uncomfortable; I wanted to emasculate him, to make sure he was getting no nookie that night. The girls sobered up and were looking scared. It was something else - the first time in my life I’ve been called that. Wow. But I enjoyed it. You must fight back; it’s imperative. I like the fight in me now.”

    For some strange reason I would have laughed too! Like, “Are you serious? That ish is so played.”
    She did the right thing by not giving them the reaction they wanted.


  4. This is so incredibly sad. It’s amazing how ignorant people still are, how “entitled” certain people feel. Those men and all the other people involved in such hate and perpetuation of racism are sickening. I admire Jill Scott for her gracious-yet aggressive- response. I don’t know what I would have done…I might have made the news, if you feel me…

    that is exactly the way you should handle some pussy ass racist who tries to put you down! Show the pussy whippie up for what he is. Sticks and stones motherfucker, sticks and stones. No need to do no marching cause what you say don’t mean shit!! Right On Ms. Scott! That’s the way to do it! Only be careful next time and don’t follow a crowd of them around in no parking lot when you are by yourself.


  9. I saw Jill Scott on TV yesterday, and she stated that she was reading alot of internet BLOG and how her own people were saying such negative things about her!!! Well, thats where the record Haters came from. I am so happy that Jill is so above all this petty bullshitz!! I would assume those haters didn’t like the fact that Jill was right there with em’!!

    *applauds Jill Scott*

    I will most definitely have to handle myself the way this sister did. With a smile on my face and a laugh in my heart to know the TRUTH that I am a black sun goddess-never anybody’s nigger.

    I hope all brothers and ssiters wake up to the fact that, yes, there are some ugly people who see beautiful black men and women as niggers still, and it’s most than to be believed. At the same time, knowing the truth sets us free. Their ignorance to the greatness of blackness is what will defeat them when we play our cards of life right. And to those few who know better than these ignorant drunk fools; God Bless them.

    I commend Jill on handling this situation with common sense,quite frankly he did not. Unfortunately we still live in these times of racism,which some may think is a joke. One day people like that will encounter a rude awakening to come, they are the minority among respectful human beings. God Bless them!

    LMAO!! This is exactly how I handled a situation a few years back. White boy called us moolies (sp). I laughed at his ass. Shit sounded funny. I knew what it meant but it sounded funny. the dumbfounded look on his face was priceless. when their #1 weapon in a verbal attack doesn’t work most of them don’t have shyt else.

  24. gravatar AND...

    Somebody above said a race war is coming. I agree. I think that white folks are starting to get real paranoid about being the ‘minority’ in the USA. Revisions on immigrants have been made recently to minimize the number of people they will allow to come to the states. I was told that by 2015 all the minorities together will outnumber the white folks. I think they are starting to get real nervous thinking about all the dirty ish they been doing and they think we will stoop to their level and start hanging folks and acting a fool. I think they are trying to set us up with stupid ish like this. “let’s call them niggers so they can act a fool and we can get them in trouble.”

  25. gravatar hope

    White people are so racist! There she was standing minding her own business ad here comes the hate. Some blacks try to act like YT don’t think this way about us but they do. He was tryig to be all tough with his YT women. Fuck them! That’s why it pains me to see how some black men put YT on a pedestal. They want anyone but a black woman. Deny it if ya wanna but MOST white people do think this way and so does their family. This is coming from someone who has always grown up with white people,went to white schools, and worked with them. Wake up my people!

  26. gravatar AND...

    @hope
    Sorry but I disagree that “MOST white people do think this way”. But I do agree that it was unnecessary since she was minding her own business but hey that’s what white folks have been known for throughout history…effing with people minding they own business.

    I hate that Jill had to witness that, In the words of Sophia off the color purple “I would have mister head in and thank about heaven later” Jill is famous I (body guards)would have beat them white boys and hired an attorney, cause famous ppl get away with a lot more than average folks.

    No violence. That is just how folks too dumb to express themselves with words would react. Ms. Scott, thought about her reaction and handled it just the right way. Never give a fool what he wants, and that simple-minded, drunk faggot wanted Jill to be hurt and act violently. She showed him that he was the only nigger out there that night by not jumping up ranting and raving. Kudo’s to you Jill. We should all be so smart.

    What I find most amusing is that there are people coming to this country illegally, every single day and those that still harbor racism find that their energy is best used in attacks on people that have been loyal to this country for over 400 years. Why not focus on the folks that are invading this country and that if left unchecked, will ultimately become their bosses? I am by no means advocating that they shift their racism from us to them, what I’m saying is Jill Scott and more than 90% of the black population are American citizens. Why hate the descendants of those that helped build this country?

    This reminds me of a time when one of my white friends asked me “why do black people get so mad about the N-Word?” I remeber think WTH, but b/c I am about spreading knowledge I told her the the N-word is like someone spitting in your face and telling saying you’re worthless. I later found out that one of her white friends had used that word infront of her and she slapped the taste out her mouth and started lecturing her on how horrible that word is. I almost died laughing when I found out.

    I think all the old conventional methods need be stockpiled and burned.

    We need a new more radical approach. Throw a few rounds through the rooves of a few police squad cars with white officers in them.

    I think that’s a brazen statement from the HOOD anonymous. Maybe that’s going too far but we need to do something to get the world’s attention.

    Fuuck him Jill- lil punk bitch would not have said that to a brother
    ^^^^^

    They wouldn’t have said that if one of em’ was by theirselves, I know because I have seen it!!! They NEVER act alone…NEVER!!! They need an audience or else they are not empowered to do bullshit like that. If that white boy was by himself esp DRUNK, she would have been able to smell his fear a block a way and he would have shuttered when walking by her.

    I would have reacted the same way. It really IS funny because they expect a negative reaction and they don’t get one so they are easily defeated!!!!

    But, I wouldn’t have dared to follow them or anyone else even if I had my pistol because that could have turned into a bloody situation very easily ya dig?

    And I love that pic of her. Very pretty woman. She only uses make-up to enhance her already existant beauty, not to draw on a face.


  55. Great response Jill!!!!
    People always expect black people to act a fool and fuss & cuss when they say or do something they think insults or upsets us……stop giving people what they want!!!!

    a lotta people say “I woulda did this, I woulda did that”

    why?? then you would have given him the power, stop letting people that don’t matter get the best of you!!!!

    I agree we need to do something to get the world’s attention and what would be more powerful than to stop all the crime that is putting our young black men in jail or to stop infecting each other with HIV, or to get more degrees. Yes these things take longer to achieve but the effects of them will last a lot longer than killing some white folks are doing something drastic. I was watching something on BET over the weekend and did you know that 1 in 20 black people in DC are infected in HIV? and in some areas 1 in 10. Did you know that those areas are blocks away from the white house and that there has been on call for national emergency? Why? b/c it’s black folks killing black folks. We have to stop this b/c YT don’t need to do anything but sit back and watch. We are doing their “job” for them. They put the drugs on the street and we buy. They open up the liquour store on the corner and we buy. They open up the shopping malls and we buy. They open up the doors to schools so that we can get an education and we run the other way. (Obviously an exaggeration but you get what I’m saying). We have to help us cuz no one else is going to do it.

    and it’s incidents like these that remind me NEVER to touch a white guy with a 3498meter pole!! when drunk, your true self comes out and I guess he wanted a confrontation not an audience — remember to ALWAYS LAUGH don’t get mad [his point will be proven] just laugh and say “really” “are you serious?” and just laugh .. she has that devilish laugh too, so, they were probably scared she was going to bash them in with a pipe anyway! lol! :)

    This is coming from someone who has always grown up with white people,went to white schools, and worked with them. Wake up my people!
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    I’m sorry that was your experience but I too grew up around predominantly whites, had all white friends, some white boyfriends etc up untill I was 14 and moved to L.A. (I’m from San Jose) and I was NEVER called a nigger until I started hanging around black people who tried their BEST to make me feel like I wasn’t black enough. I have even dated white kids who’s parents didn’t think they liked black people until they met me and felt comfortable enought to tell me so. They were going off of what the media showed them about us and had never interacted with to many of us (this is back in 1989-1994).

    The fact that I dated white boys that were strong enough to make up their own minds and not go by the ignorance they were taught shows growth!!! There ARE white people that are raised to be racist and grow up and marry outside of their race and live very happily.

    I KNOW RACISM EXISTS. I will never deny that and I will alwayz be aware of that eventhough at my level, it is corporate racism, it still exists. But I do have to admit, I have had more doors shut because I am a young woman more than for the color of my skin.

    It hurts the most when you get it from your own kind, trust me it does!!! I almost expect it from white men because they are so insecure because of all the bullshit they have pulled on everyone, even their own women, but to have black women, especially the ones that say they go to church every Sunday blatently HATE on you simply hurts.

When this happens, just sit back and laugh at the racist comments, like the infamous:U GUYS KNOW THAT O.J.

It was the first time anyone has EVER called me that. I’ve gone to a predominantly white school, had white friends, etc. and no one has ever called me that. It really took me aback. Like, the wind was just knocked right out of me. Despite what people say, there is power in that word, but her reaction was pure genius. I wish I had seen this before it happened to me. I would have definitely reacted differently. I hope more people like Jauron read this, so that they can understand that just because someone calls you that word doesn’t mean you have to prove them right and act like one.

    Europe and American are using white supremacy to pacify the white population of the world; to preoccupy them. This creates an arrogance that will not allow them to disagree with “their” government. So they’re poised to accept anything thier elite ruling class tells them (i.e. the Veri Chip, 911, income tax, and Christianity). The white majority are getting played. The same mis-education getting fed to the negro population is getting fed to the blanco population. Think about it; their religion is false, their culture is false, even their spoon fed supremacist views are based on half truths and manipulation.

    So I laugh when people of color attempt to imitate and internalize “white” culture, because essentially they’re trying to copy an idiot culture that stands for nothing and falls for everything. Whites have always been controlled by their elite ruling class, and their elite ruling class has always used the white majority to get incredibly fucking rich.

    Look around you, it’s like the fucking Borg, they’ve all been assimilated.

    . . . this is just plain fact.

    This is a system. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. ©

    Oh F@ck That!!!

    This is coming from someone who has always grown up with white people,went to white schools, and worked with them. Wake up my people!
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    I’m sorry that was your experience but I too grew up around predominantly whites, had all white friends, some white boyfriends etc up untill I was 14 and moved to L.A. (I’m from San Jose) and I was NEVER called a nigger until I started hanging around black people who tried their BEST to make me feel like I wasn’t black enough. I have even dated white kids who’s parents didn’t think they liked black people until they met me and felt comfortable enought to tell me so. They were going off of what the media showed them about us and had never interacted with to many of us (this is back in 1989-1994).

    The fact that I dated white boys that were strong enough to make up their own minds and not go by the ignorance they were taught shows growth!!! There ARE white people that are raised to be racist and grow up and marry outside of their race and live very happily.

    I KNOW RACISM EXISTS. I will never deny that and I will alwayz be aware of that eventhough at my level, it is corporate racism, it still exists. But I do have to admit, I have had more doors shut because I am a young woman more than for the color of my skin.

    It hurts the most when you get it from your own kind, trust me it does!!! I almost expect it from white men because they are so insecure because of all the bullshit they have pulled on everyone, even their own women, but to have black women, especially the ones that say they go to church every Sunday blatently HATE on you simply hurts.

    Damn this is soo parallel to my life for a second I thought I wrote it. What’s even funnier is all the black folks who can’t stand Oprah and think she doesn’t help black folks enough. Where were all these black folks when she needed help? She wasn’t born with a silver spoon in here mouth but when her own people (and this is something I heard her say) were telling her she was wasting her time reading and going to school the white folks encouraged her. I have had more non-whites help me than blacks and I live in the south. Mofos here a blatant with their racism when they wanna be. This is the exact position I have on using the N-word. White folks made it up and some of them still hate us okay but to hear your own people use just a horrible word towards each other just hurts. It wrong when a white person uses it but they will never understand the burn in my soul when I hear that word. I am yet to understand a black person using that word.

    Whites cannot NOT be racist! THE WHOLE AMERICAN SYSTEM IS BUILT ON RACISM!_______________________
    If your above statement is true then how do you explain white people who marry and adopt black kids and kids of other races?

    I think that laughing sometimes is a good way to throw them off, but again like somebody mentioned before, it’s good they didn’t use violence.

    Because trust me, if a group of skinheads say that to you, and you are alone, especially being a woman, then laughing WOULD NOT be the best way to deal with that kind of situation.

    These were just some drunk yuppies, so in this case, she was fine.

    Racism runs deep in this country, it’s more subtle, but it’s definitly there. Whites feel they are entitled to everyone and everything like it’s their birthright. They don’t want an even playing field, they want it just as it is….. them running things. The sad thing is it will remain that way as long as we continue to get strung out on drugs and alcohol,continue to have babies out of wedlock that we can’t provide for, dropping out of school and simply not loving ourselves and taking pride in ourselves as we should. Especially the drug thing that’s just modern day slavery, no visible chains but the chains are still there. As long as we continue this type of behavior we are not a threat to anyone and that is the way they want it. I know whites do some of the same negative things but they have more things working for them in this society. Another thing white men think its automatic when they approach black women, part of that slavery mentality and we all know what type of relationship black woman and white men had during slavery.

    Well - as I always say - as long as he sees the black man disrespect us, he’s not going to respect us too much either..

    Remember Don Imus and how he quickly admitted how easy it was for him to call those college ball players hoes because of how often the black man calls black women hoes???

    As long as the black man is out there showing him that he has no respect for us, expect it to get worse.. Though the black man LOVEs to think he is a threat to the white man, the white man knwos that all he has to do is sit back and wait for the black man to self destruct and he’ll go away.. Its the strong black woman who is his true threat.. He cant understand a group of women being faced with all of our strife and STILL making it.. He’s used to the downtrodden giving up, like the black man!!

    And i know they were shook.. The black man would have either ignored it liek a coward or acted in a way that would have gotten him arrested -STILL LETTING THE WHITE MAN WIN!! But look how gracefully the SISTA handled herself.. Thats one of the thing I mean about the black man self destructing!!!

    One day I was in my car headed to the bank and this guy yelled out NIGGER. I’ve always experienced racism because I’ve always been around white people due to school, where I live, and work. But its always hidden racism. There I was minding my business driving my car he was passing in his truck and yells out Nigger. (This isn’t the south either its PA) Amazingly the word just didn’t even affect me at all because I moreso appreciate knowing how you REALLY feel about me. I hate how YT hides behid racism in school ad the corporate world. They get you by not giving you the job, promotion, talking down to you, talking behind your back, the list goes on and on. His words had no power over me at all it was just a confirmation of their ignorance and need to hurt people. Here I was, I never even seen this asshole in my life didn’t even have to do anything to him. They are just full of hate.

    And to the person who says she gets it more from black people and whites like you. What you get from black people isn’t racism! You may get jealousy which is common in ANY race. Of course greed and jealousy will bring out the worst in some but racism is a whole other level where they don’t even have respect for you as a human being. And PUHLEASE if you think its so great that YT told you after they got to know you how they used to think a certain way until they met you, I just feel really sorry for you when reality hits. Why do you need to be an EXAMPLE to them that not all blacks are so bad. If they didn’t think they were so supperior they wouldn’t need you to be their little example of proof that blacks aren’t so bad. I’ve had ignorant neighbors say the same thing to me and guess what its just an example of YT getting comfortable enough to let you know they are racist…but not against you of course pfft. These people are a joke!

    Racism exists in EVERY race. As long as people are different there will be others to hate on them for that very reason. I’m proud of Jill Scott for holding her own and having the grace and dignity to not give this man the reaction he wanted. I am however sad to see so many people commenting who feel that all whites are the same. That is racist and you don’t even realize it. I’ve heard racism come from the mouth of blacks, asians, whites and hispanics alike. Different cultures are what makes our planet beautiful but realize that each person within that culture is an INDIVIDUAL and they responsible for their own actions. Hold the person accountable, not the entire race.
