The movie features a common use of the word "Nigga" in both provocative and a comedic manner. One scene shows a white woman screaming to a black man in a club "Nigga who you callin' white"? However, the replies was unexpected. The man says to himself that the word "Nigga" turns him on. He even requests the woman to call him "Nigga" again before she leaves the scene. It depicts how black character in this movies are bad and horny person.[2]

There are quite many Black words used to present what Black man is. Christian address that most black entrepreneurs gets money as a drug dealers. There's also a dialogue where Hannah addresses back people negatively;

Hannah Steele: I hate you the way black people hate cops.

Christian Black: Wow.

Hannah Steele: I hate you the way Republicans hate Obamacare.

Christian Black: Baby, come on now.

Hannah Steele: I hate you the way Kanye West hates everybody else.

Christian Black: Well, I'm kind of with him on Taylor Swift.

(Tiddes, 2016)[3]
