Donna Brazile Tearfully Explains Her Opposition to the N-Word

‘I don’t listen to music that uses the word’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BLITZER: "Did you have the use of the word as opposed to just saying the 'N' word?" 
BRAZILE: "Let me just tell you something. I got my butt whipped by my parents when I tried to use it as a child so I was cured early on. My parents taught us that is the word that is used to dehumanize my father, my grandfathers, my mother and my grandmother. So we were told never to use the that word and I don't use it. And I don't listen to music that uses the word. But the president was trying to make a point and I'm glad that he made it. But unfortunately it went right above some people and they focused on that. But I want to say, I have a brother in South Carolina after Katrina and three nephews. They're my youngest. I don't want nothing to happen to them. I can pray everyday of my life, but those are young boys and they want to be men. I know them. I want them to grow up in a country unlike the country my parents grew up in, my grandparents and me. I want them to be free of all of this and I will work for them. I will work for them."
