CNN Commentator Use N-Word (Twice) With Don Lemon Who Isn't Phased

"I have seen these conversations that this is economic. So let's be clear: a white honky from Norway can come here but a black dude from Haiti can't. What does that tell you in an America that in one generation called you a nigger? What does that tell you, Don?" Mudd asked.

"I can tell you what it tells a honky like me," Mudd said. "We're no different than we were a generation ago and we're learning the same lessons that we learned when we called a Chinese man a slanteye, when we called a man from Guatemala a spic and a wetback, and we called a black man a nigger. That's what it tells me. We've got a ways to learn. But we can step back and say we're proud because I spoke this on CNN, 30-to-1 the emails I got were saying, 'You speak for us and we are not from Africa and we are not from Norway. We're from Italy. We're from Ireland. We're from Greece.' Every single one of them was from a place they would say, 'Hey, hashtag, I'm one of them.'"
