Obama uses the N-word in public - how soon can we expect his resignation?

[Dvae]

President Obama speaks with comedian Marc Maron, host of the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron."


Barack Obama says the N-word in Marc Maron's podcast - CNNPolitics.com

[J. Falcon]

He's keeping it real.

[VSKevin]

Depends on how he said it, with the hard -er ending or with the -a attitude ending. :P

[fitzmulti]

We can't. There's no reason for him to for that.
Anyone looking at, or listening to, the context which he said it would know that.

[MiamiBoyz]

He was a joke before he was elected and still is.

[EddyTheDog]

I thought it was OK if you are black?..

He is still black?....

[dyna mo]

i'm not surprised.

Wrong, he's half white.

When you hear what he said, he is correct.

he's correct in creating a distraction from the issue by his using the term?

because that's what's happened. media et al are on about him using the word, not the context of his wordS.

Irrelevant.

Had a white Republican said that (in any context) he would at the very least have to beg forgiveness and apologize if not resign.

The double standard once again alive and well!

Not all media. Rachel Maddow of MSNBC reported it properly, and within context.

[EddyTheDog]

It's a word for fuck sake - Nigga - Faggot - Honky - Queer...

Get over it - Most of the rest of the world wonders WTF the problem is as well.....

I think it is all about guilt - Get over it...

[mineistaken]

What do you expect from a president who invites racist shake down scum Scumpton to white house for how many times already?

[MaDalton]

i don't get it - having the flag all over the place that is a symbol for slavery is free speech but when the president says not using the word nigg3er just out of courtesy is not enough then it's a scandal?

I'm sure she included in her coverage how race relations in an America under Obama are worse than they've been in decades.

if BO had a hahahahahaha son, he'd look like Trayvon.

i don't have a problem with it per se. it is embarrassing he used it but that's not a problem.

the problem is his using it was and still is a distraction. the story isn't about Obama addressing race relations in the USA, it's now what do you think about BO saying hahahahahaha. that's not effective governing.

If you're curious I'm sure you can find what she said online somewhere.

I think race relations have been this bad for decades. The difference is with social media and having a black president they are brought to the surface much more often.

To me it is just like police brutality. I don't think it is any worse than it has been all along, it is just now easier to bring to the public conscious because everyone is walking around with a camera on their phone and they can quickly upload the footage and send it directly to news outlets.

Symbol of slavery? That flag is symbol of free South, rebellion etc. Saying it is a symbol of slavery is like saying it is a symbol of southern hospitality or southern food, or whatever else is/was in south. Slavery was just one of the things in south, why emphasize that one? olf
Seriously who could even think that most of the people who wave that flag in South is waving it to bring back (or of respect to) slavery... Ridiculous. Unless you take absolute minority extremists who wave it for the wrong reasons and base your opinion on that..

because slavery was one of the main reasons to secede

In December 1860, amid the secession crisis, former South Carolinian congressman John McQueen wrote to a group of civic leaders in Richmond, Virginia, regarding the reasons as to why South Carolina was contemplating secession from the Union. In the letter, McQueen claimed that U.S. president-elect Abraham Lincoln supported equality and civil rights for African Americans as well as the abolition of slavery, and thus South Carolina, being opposed to such measures, was compelled to secede:

I have never doubted what Virginia would do when the alternatives present themselves to her intelligent and gallant people, to choose between an association with her sisters and the dominion of a people, who have chosen their leader upon the single idea that the African is equal to the Anglo-Saxon, and with the purpose of placing our slaves on equality with ourselves and our friends of every condition! and if we of South Carolina have aided in your deliverance from tyranny and degradation, as you suppose, it will only the more assure us that we have performed our duty to ourselves and our sisters in taking the first decided step to preserve an inheritance left us by an ancestry whose spirit would forbid its being tarnished by assassins. We, of South Carolina, hope soon to great you in a Southern Confederacy, where white men shall rule our destinies, and from which we may transmit to our posterity the rights, privileges and honor left us by our ancestors.[2][3]

I would argue that 15 years ago most people were only aware of racism in their local area or when there was some kind of major event that made the news.

Now you can't get on Facebook (or GFY for that matter) without there being some debate about race.

Social media and technology might be helping to create the divide and maybe even worsen it now, but it has been bad in this country for a long time, it was just mostly kept a lot quieter until recently.

Sorry, that statement is 100% incorrect.

race relations are worse for whites used to every minority accommodating them. Whites who dont care about race have no issues with race relations. race relations are worse for blacks who for years kept their head in the sand about their own communities and how people view them.

i certainly see what you are saying but how does that let Obama off the hook? whether or not the problem was glaring before he was president doesn't negate the fact it is glaring under BO and it's not an agenda item for him at all. he's done nothing towards solving race issues. he has made race baiting comments that only fuel the problems.

[TCLGirls]

The Southern states attempted to secede from the Union so that they could preserve their "heritage"...like their right to cook fried chicken. Yeah that's it lol

I don't let him off the hook. I said I agreed with what he said in the quote from the Marc Maron podcast. Has he gotten himself involved in racial issues when maybe he shouldn't have? Perhaps. Personally, I don't see the problem as being all his. If anything I think that with him as president a lot of black people (and minorities in general) have decided to stop taking shit and air their grievances. These are issues that go back a long way in this country. The more vocal black people get the mode defensive white people get and it drags the racism out of the gutter.

In this article they mention how the poll numbers (the same poll numbers you mentioned) show that right now race relations are at their worst since 1997 when the same number of people thought there were serious racial problems in this country. That is only 18 years ago. It isn't like we have had decades of racial peace in this country and suddenly the president has undone it.

[TheSquealer]

I had such high hopes that he would use his usually good public speaking ability, his good looks and his popularity that we saw in the first campaign to inspire... to lift people up,... to move people to want to become the best they can be once he was President.

Instead, its been nothing but doom and gloom and blame. He could have been the greatest President ever. He was off to such a great start, that he got a Nobel Peace Prize before he'd ever did anything at all. He blew it immediately. I don't remember any President being so actively decisive.

Why wouldn't they be? You have a guy like Michael Brown trying to kill a cop after robbing a store and he doesn't step in and uses their power and ability to lead to calm the situation.. instead, he lets a city burn to the ground with Al Sharpton (frequent visitor the the White House) fanning the flames. In the end, everyone only remembers a narrative where literally no part of it was true at all.... and no one even works to lead and set the record straight.

Thanks for the link. My view isn't that BO undid good race relations. My view is race relations were never a concern of his. Even after they were thrown into his face, Zimmerman being the example. And now when he tries to get serious about it, he distracts from that by saying hahahahahaha.

At least he spells is correctly.

[MiamiBoyz]

America continues circling the drain and the circles are getting smaller and smaller...

[epitome]

He's hardly the first President to be recorded saying the word.

The only difference is he's half black and was using it in a timely and serious discussion about race relations in America.

It's funny how people always mention he's half black, until he does something a black person can do, then suddenly we're reminded he's half white.

You're trying to apologize for BO by exclaiming Nixon called blacks hahahahahahas too (45 fucking years ago).

What a fucking joke.

You fucking libtards love to point your crooked fuckwad finger at republitards except when you need to claim they did it to. Even when it was 50 fucking years ago.

[dyna mo]

Exclaiming its OK for the mother fucking President of the mother fucking USofA to say hahahahahaha on account Nixon said it?

Ahahahahahahahah. Srsly.
Gofuckyourself

Pointing out the double standard makes me the problem.
Its genius!

[MetaMan]

The majority of blacks in the USA make me sick. This political correct bullshit is fucking hilarious to me. Everyone is a racist! Especially blacks. They DO NOT deserve special status and need to stop whining.

When your community is effected by constant "magical" exterior factors it shows its TRUE WEAKNESS. Maybe instead of spending time whining about racism they should use that energy to build up and solve problems within their OWN community. When there is an outside bogeyman on every corner supposedly effecting your progress you have 0 chance of evolving. How can you possibly move forward when you choose not to take ANY responsibility for your own current status?

You don't pick and choose when things are ok for certain people. They are either OK or they ARE NOT. Anyone who thinks it's ok what he said is a FUCKING IDIOT.
