“I was promoting racism by making the N-word cool” - Ashley Walters
SYNOPSIS
Actor and one-time So Solid Crew rapper, Ashley Walters (aka Asher D) explores how and why racially offensive language such as ‘n****r’ has become such an ingrained part of our lives. Is it just colloquial evolution or does it actually create a racist subculture?
The programme follows Ashley as he travels across the UK testing the appetite for these troubling definitions and meeting people that oppose and support his take on how the language should be used.
