EXCERPT:
CROWDER: "This does matter, okay? When we’re talking about this new song — and as a comedian and as a linguist, I’m going to say the word here so that everybody knows, and that’s what you’re going to clip — we’re looking at words that are offensive, a song that is offensive, but one is a boogeyman word. We have one noun, a verb and a noun. Okay? We have a noun by itself, contextually, n***a. That’s bad, shouldn’t say it, but it’s not imbued with any power outside of historical context. The last noun, Hitler, is imbued with the power of the verb that precedes it: ‘Heil,’ to praise, to venerate. That’ll get clipped even though I’m condemning the song as anti-Semitic, and not one person here who would be the victim of a more severe call to action is going to say it’s anti-Semitic. I think we’re in a silly point in this country when we’re pulling this clip to condemn the anti-Semitism here at the studio and people going, 'Gey, can I get a second cut of that, um, N-word, heil Hitler.' That’s the point. It's not genuine."
