Samuel L. Jackson tries to bully reporter into saying the N-word

• Tweet

Jake Hamilton's 17-minute long interview with the cast of 'Django Unchained' ran smoothly up until he decided to ask Samuel L. Jackson about the controversy surrounding the use of the n-word in the movie and, oddly enough, the actor made a big deal out of it.

“No, nobody, none,” Jackson interrupted Hamilton's question and asked, “the word would be…?”

Hamilton responded with a shy, "I don't wanna say it" and an uncomfortable smile and thus began the 40-second-long, "say-the-word, no-I-won't-say-it" portion of the interview in which Hamilton refuses to say the n-word and Jackson refuses to answer the question unless he says it.

In the end they both decided that moving on to the next subject would be the best thing to do despite Hamilton's promise that it would've been a "great question." I guess we'll never know.

The altercation went like this,

Thought the interview has been live on Hamilton's YouTube account since December 15th it recently went viral after it inspired a Reddit discussion on racism, the FCC and Jackson's ways.
