Spokesman Josh Earnest says the White House isn’t surprised that the president uttering a word used as a racial slur would stir controversy.
But Earnest says Obama didn’t plan in advance to use the word to be provocative.
He says Obama was speaking in a free-flowing, casual interview for a podcast and trying to make the point that ending racism is about more than manners.
Obama said that just because people realize it’s not polite to use the racial slur in public doesn’t mean that racism is “cured.”
Did he ever regret of what he said or did thisthis ego maniyak
Poor fellow .look how much he suffered.He cant get a respectful job because of his race .
Big deal…
This is a non story. And so is the confederate flag. Free speech is free speech.
take dat N word and all racism remarks from Mark Twain and toss em in di Mrs Sippipi River
I am horrified. 60 years of civil rights authority and the first black president reintroduces the N-word into human culture.
This president is his own threat to office.
I can not think that we need to reintruduce the N-word to American Jargon and if that is what could happen, congratulations Barack Obama, you just removed years of dignified progress.
Waterloo without a camera. Obama is just heaven without a gate for the smile.
G-d bless America.
If this president repents, will it be before or after he leaves office?
I want to see what the children say in the morning.
Do most know that the “N” word was introduced by ego-centric plantation owners as a colloquial to the word niggardly – meaning slow or dull-witted? What is really telling is that blacks refer to themselves and to their friends, in a familiar, friendly, fashion, using this word. When anyone can stop the black youth and even elder blacks from referring to themselves this way, then let’s talk about racism or pejoratives. This is hypocrisy and by letting the hypocrites run the asylum you get sensationalist “journalism” and more fuel for the heavy flames that are burning away.
