'Django Unchained' star Samuel L Jackson urges reporter to say N-word

Samuel L Jackson urged a white reporter to use the N-word in a recent video interview.

The incident occurred during a press junket with Jackson and his Django Unchained co-stars.

In the clip, Jackson is interviewed by Jake's Takes host Jake Hamilton, who asks the actor to discuss the controversy surrounding Django Unchained regarding the numerous use of "the N-word".

Jackson then goads Hamilton in the video by refusing to answer the question until Hamilton says the actual word out loud, which Hamilton repeatedly declines to do.

Hamilton later told Entertainment Weekly: "The most awkward moment was just seeing everyone in the room freeze, and waiting to see what my reaction was going to be."

The reporter's decision not to say the word has been both criticised and applauded by fans on the net. He says he chose not to say it in order to protect both his show and the network.
