'They need to be canceled!! Why did Hulu even bother extending the life of this show?' one demanded.Īnother wrote: 'Dear If you continue to enable the Kardashian family and give them a platform, I will cancel your service.'Īnother tweet marveled: 'Why doesn't anybody talk about the fact that Khloe Kardashian said the N-word with the hard R on KUWTK?!?' Many marginalized groups know what it's like to be objectified.Īs the clip of Khloe circulated on Twitter, people voiced their anger. This is not exclusively a Kardashian problem, or something experienced only by Black men.

Dating only Black men, as a white woman, is just half of the plot to Get Out.īlack men, just like everyone else, are people with good qualities and bad qualities and an array of features.įor someone who is not Black to pursue Black men exclusively may sound flattering, but it is fundamentally dehumanizing to the 'objects' of their affection. To hear her speak this way about Black men highlights the nature of her interest.ĭating a Black man is just dating. It's no secret that Khloe feels this way, but it's weird to hear her say the quiet part out loud.ĭating people of multiple races is normal and healthy, though some marginalized communities may choose to only date among themselves - for safety. She sounded smug as she described her notorious fetishization of Black men and hinted at a fetishization of Black bodies. This clip is only a few years old - but even if it weren't, the N-word was known to be a slur long before Khloe's birth.Īt the same time, she spoke about her fondness for 'Black c-k.' In that context, it is even more bewildering why she would repeat the slur to her family, hard R and everything. Khloe was describing hateful things that she is called by racists on social media. Outside of very specific contexts (portraying a racist in scripted media, giving a police report or courtroom testimony), why would Khloe even want to say it? Only the people against whom it is directed can say it. Perhaps Khloe felt that her association with Black people - having a Black daughter, only taking Black lovers - gives her some sort of 'permission.' This is not the only time that Khloe has used slurs, having also used ableist slurs and been slammed for it.īut this is the most inexcusable and most vile of them, and she says it without blinking - knowing that she's filmed. While the use of the worst slur in the history of language is the focus, it is not the only issue. While Khloe's words were blurred when the episode aired, figuring out what she was saying is not difficult. Khloe then says: 'All I get called is a N-r-lover all day long. It then gets worse: 'Hashtag, I only like Black c-k. 'Hashtag fact,' Khloe says almost painfully.
