Piers Morgan recently wrote an essay for The Daily Mail, where he debated against the use of the n-word. The CNN host wrote, "As a white man, I have no right to demand that any black person gives up using the N-word. But as someone who believes passionately in civil rights, I just think it's the right thing to do."
Morgan's comments caught the eye of John Legend, who made a sarcastic remark that sparked a heated debate between the two celebrities.
"ya'll better thank @piersmorgan for providing that simple, straightforward solution to racism. So brilliant. why didn't we think of this???"
After much back and forth, Piers told John that he wasn't calling the n-word the "biggest race issue," but felt that it should be erased from everyone's vocabulary. You can check out their full commentary in the above slide, and weigh in with your opinions below.
