Warning: this post is very NSFW. Lots of foul language.
Like most of you, the 'N-word' is taboo for me. So taboo that uttering it is nearly impossible for me. I don't say that to preen about how racist I am not, because it's just a reaction to a societal taboo almost as ingrained for me as revulsion to cannibalism.
I'm pretty much this guy:
I have to admit, Jackson is right on the nose in his response. The word is used—used often in Django Unchained, and Jackson thought that his character could and should have been portrayed as even more despicable to tell the story right. Not that he was disappointed with the final product.
Samuel L. Jackson says because Quentin Tarantino uses the N-word in most of his movies doesn’t make him a racist.

Charlie Rose: Quentin gets criticized for the language and racism in his films.
Samuel L. Jackson: People call him racist because of how often he uses the N-word in his scripts.
Samuel L. Jackson: But I don’t understand that criticism.
Samuel L. Jackson: Every character he’s written for me has been one of the smartest, most respected people in the film.
Samuel L. Jackson: If he were truly racist, he couldn’t write characters like that for me.
There's a reason why the N-word is so taboo: not only is it insulting, as many words are, but that it is insulting in a way that is associated with a dark and painful history. We've driven it out of polite society in a way that exceeds almost any other slur.
Of course, the same could and should be said of the antisemitic slurs that are now common, but that is a story for another post.
I bring all this up because of the famous Shiloh Hendrix case from my neck of the woods, in Rochester, MN. You probably heard of it when it first popped up a while back. Shiloh quite famously was recorded calling a man recording her after she retrieved items that had been stolen from her child by another kid who had rifled through her things.
Nobody disputes that the child had stolen the items she recovered, and she reportedly called him the N-word, at which time the adult started recording her and challenged her to repeat it. She did, unapologetically.

As you can see, Hendrix was walking away when he followed her, challenging her to repeat the word, which she happily did, arguing that she used the word because he acted badly.
The world exploded, as always happens when a taboo is broken. It's like a car crash—we can't look away, regardless of how we feel about it.
Here's where the story gets interesting to me. I won't argue that the taboo should be broken, although in this degraded environment where every awful word is uttered freely, it's not clear that the power of that word is nearly as great as it used to be, since it gets uttered all the time in popular culture, but it is what it is. I don't intend to break the taboo myself, and cringe when I hear it from anybody, including black people.
I didn't go see Django Unchained, by the way, even though I get Jackson's point. I walked out of A Clockwork Orange for much the same reason: some things I am too weak to bear. That's me.
But things went off the rails: Jackson was charged with two cases of Disorderly Conduct, and just finished a 3-day criminal trial. And the whole affair is insane and reminds us that justice is two-tiered these days, not just in Britain, but here as well.
This is your reminder that the Left doesn't plan to abolish police or prisons.

They plan to repurpose them, and the legal system, to go after their enemies. https://t.co/ylTNBkBWmt
It turns out that the man who chased her down and recorded that video was himself a criminal, and not just any criminal, but a man who was out on bail after committing a horrific crime.
Let's take a walk through the "American justice system," shall we?

Let's take a walk through the "American justice system," shall we?
Sharmake Omar is the Somali man who filmed Shiloh Hendrix on the playground in Minnesota that day in April 2025.
In January 2022, he and another Somali man "allegedly" spent two days raping an underage foster care runaway in a trailer, keeping her falsely imprisoned.
In March 2025, all charges were dismissed "in the interest of justice."
Weeks later, in April 2025, he turned his camera phone on at the playground after a young Somali thief attempted to steal from a White mom, Shiloh Hendrix, and began haranguing that White mom for having said the word "nigger." Omar demanded that Hendrix repeat the word on camera, which she did - four times, while Omar himself said the word five times in the less-than-one-minute video.
Four long months later, multiple "disorderly conduct" charges were maliciously brought against Shiloh Hendrix for the playground incident in which she was the only victim, and Sharmake Omar was the videographer.
Then, last night, Shiloh Hendrix was CONVICTED - specifically for saying "nigger" to Sharmake Omar AFTER he demanded she say it, while he himself said it repeatedly. Her sentence is a $1,000 fine and 200 hours of community service.
By the way, Sharmake Omar WAS NEVER CALLED TO TESTIFY in the Hendrix trial.
But don't worry, that's not all the justice we have in store for today. Just keep the substance of Shiloh's "crime" - as well as her sentence - in mind as we move forward.
Rewind to April 2020. That's when Sharmake Omar, our favorite Somali videographer, along with another Somali friend of his (separate from his alleged co-raper), committed a violent assault in the street. Omar threw a rock at a car, then attacked and beat the 16-year-old driver. A bystander tried to intervene, but Omar's accomplice threatened him with a knife.
For this, Sharmake Omar was charged merely with DISORDERLY CONDUCT. Yes, for hurling a deadly weapon at a vehicle, then beating the teenage driver while his criminal pal held off onlookers at knifepoint, Omar faced the EXACT SAME CHARGE that Shiloh Hendrix faced for saying a word that Omar asked her to say, as she held her child in her arms and fled the playground before Omar could assault her, too.
Like Shiloh Hendrix, Sharmake Omar was convicted on his count of disorderly conduct.
His sentence?
A $200 fine.
That's it. That's the entire thing.
So, to review: Rape an underage foster child for two days (allegedly)? Clean slate.Hurl a deadly weapon at a car and assault its driver? $200.Say a word to an accused rapist/kidnapper and convicted violent criminal who demands you say it while saying it himself? $1,000 and 200 hours - not to mention international infamy. Could the anti-White standard be any more egregiously in our faces?
Ironically, Shiloh was NOT convicted of calling the child (5 or 9 years old, depending on the account) the N-word. Instead, she was convicted in this 3-day trial of calling this vile human being, whom the jury never got to hear about because he never testified and the judge excluded all evidence about him, that dirty word.
Shiloh Hendrix was tried and convicted for calling a rapist and a violent criminal, and the man she called that name had gotten a less severe sentence for the same charged crime, despite his actually attacking somebody.
That, my friends, is insane. Whatever you think of Hendrix, think about whether this is "justice."
By the way, Sharmake Omar is making bank off the whole affair with a GoFundMe, as Hendrix's lawyer pointed out in a tirade after the verdict.

Shiloh verdict.
Disorderly conduct
Count 1 towards the child: not guilty
Count 2 towards the videographer: guilty
Is this any different than the cases we are seeing in the UK? Or are we all reacting based on the taboo over the word itself? If she had used any other word, would the world have erupted? Would she have been charged? And if not, is the standard of free speech just "speech that I agree with?"
I'm not justifying what Hendrix said. I wouldn't have said it, even though I understand her anger and find it quite justified.
This is the ‘cameraman,’ Sharmake Beyle Omar, whom Brian Karalus is referring to. He was arrested and charged with the rape of a minor in 2022, and then this same court suddenly dropped the charges.

“Rochester men”
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️https://t.co/DjmQjg1L6S
But we have now entered the realm where a "disadvantaged" Somali man can rape girls and have the charges dismissed, but a white woman can't utter a slur without going to trial and getting convicted. For a misdemeanor that would normally be dismissed in any other case.
It's insane. And, I guarantee, it will cause a backlash.
