Durham Mayor Leo Williams is refusing to apologize after referring to young Black residents as "YNs" — slang for "Young N‑words" — during a town hall on gun violence. While critics say the term was inappropriate and harmful, Williams doubled down, saying he was keeping it real and focusing on the root issue: youth violence. He later added a limited apology, saying he didn't want to make anyone feel undervalued — but stood firm on his language.
