I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Look at these donkeys. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the devil. Look at these donkeys. Bunch of f***ing jackass. For the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil?

Possible. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, May 8th goes to Oakland Athletics broadcaster Glenn Kuiper or Cooper. I don't know. The mayonnaise is heavy on this one. Glenn was suspended Saturday and will remain off the air because during Friday's pregame show, he was trying to tell the audience that he had visited Kansas City's Negro League Baseball Museum, but he didn't say Negro. Let's listen.

We had a phenomenal day today. Negro League Museum and Arthur Bryant's barbecue whoa whoa whoa whoa the hilarious thing about this is his co-host that was next to him didn't flinch at all nope mr co-host you're supposed to be like draymond green son and hold him accountable for the nonsense coming out of his mouth but no you just went with it and now glenn rightfully so has been suspended until a review of his on-air racial slur is complete. Okay, nothing to review there, folks. All right, that was the N-word with the E-R. That man has said that word so much that he didn't even think twice about it when he said it.

In his mind, there is no other word that starts with N that applies to black people other than the N-word. Heavy on the E-R. Not Negro, not neighbor, not not nutella just okay i feel like i have to take this time to teach the difference between negro and uh the n-word okay a negro moment is a proud achievement our event in black history things that have shifted the world something that uh african americans are proud of something that exudes black excellence okay like barack obama even though he's only half a Negro, becoming president, okay? Or Matthew Henson and Admiral Robert Peary becoming the first men to reach the North Pole in 1909.

Or Tyler Perry, who we was talking about earlier, opening his studio in Atlanta. Those are proud Negro moments. But then there is N-word moments. The great urban philosopher Huey Freeman told us what an N-word moment was on Season 2, Episode 11 of the classic show, The Boondocks. Listen. n-word moment was on season 2 episode 11 of the classic show the boondocks listen west defines the nigga moment as a moment where ignorance overwhelms the mind of an otherwise logical negro man causing him to act in an illogical self-destructive manner i.e like a nigga so now that we know the difference between negro and the n-word it got me to thinking just

to play white devil's advocate here what if there was an n-word it got me to thinking just to play white devil's advocate here what if there was an n-word league museum what would be in it we have our guest co-host jess hilarious in the building she is an expert of all things niggatry uh jess if there was an n-word league museum what would some of the exhibits be the niggas oh all right oh we can't okay so um i ain't gonna lie what what we're being it what the first lady of bmf okay okay i can see that i can see that also i got the hook up too but yeah i can see that in there i can see that in there okay and right in the back okay i got definitely okay and right in the back okay

I got to be in the back that's the last exhibit before you get to the end of the maze okay okay I can see that I can see that I can see that

listen I think that the biggest thing that would be in the N-Word museum would be an exhibit to one of the greatest N-Words

to ever walk the face of the earth Soulja Boy can you imagine going on the floor of Soulja Boy and just going from N-Word moment to N-words to ever walk the face of the earth. Soulja Boy.
