Unless he says it in public and has a job working in the public, his employer would probably fire him if it brought any attention to him because he said it.

 

Hey, can we fire the President for using it? Everyone else gets fired for using it :lol2:

We can go through all this again if we want but it seems like well-worn territory at this point: the evolution of social conventions, the power dynamics at play in race relations, etc.

 

I feel like we've hashed this out a million times.

Yep.

We have, that's why you should know that InItToWinIt isn't free to say it. Not that he should be either.

You're always free. You may not be free from consequences.

 

We always have a choice.

All I can do is :no: at some of you sometimes.

Here is the quote and context of Obama's faux paus to some white people.

 

“And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘n****r’ in public,” Obama said. “That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t overnight completely erase everything that happened two hundred to three hundred years prior.”

So he had to say the whole word and not say the N word.

What or who gives him the right to utter it even if in contex.

Maybe I can just go around saying it in context then.

Howard Stern has used it in the exact same context as Obama did since the beginning of his show. He seems to be doing fine.

 

 

But yeah, no one is stopping you. Fire away.

He's free to say it. How is he not?

Newsflash:

 

Obama isn't even the first president to knowingly use the n-word AND the others used it maliciously.

 

Stop crying. I bet all 44 presidents have used the n-word.

The dude who wrote that article is an idiot. Pure and point blank. Idiot in the purest form of idiocy.

Quote from an article: Obama’s use of the word isn’t the problem to me. What IS the problem is his quote where he says “the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives…that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on. We’re not cured of it.”

 

No, Mr. President it’s NOT part of our DNA and I’m really sick and tired of you and the merry band of race baiters telling me over and over again that my white skin means I can NEVER escape my inherent racism. It is no more part of my DNA than female is in Bruce Jenner’s or Rachel Dolezal’s is black.

 

Institutionalized racism is no longer part of our nation. That doesn’t mean racist people don’t exist – but they exist among EVERY ethnic group. And not only are there racists, but we have anti-Semites and anti-Christians and ageists and “fat-ists” — I could go on ad infinitum.

 

But I am deeply offended by the assumption that I must carry vestiges of racism because I am white – and of course because I am a conservative..

 

I am at a loss. What more can we white folk do? When will WE be freed of those racist chains? What more must we do to absolve ourselves of the sins of the fathers?

 

I don’t really know what white people can do as a whole to prove they no longer carry the bigot gene. But I do know we cannot move forward if the man who holds the very highest office in the land keeps dragging us back.

Dude, his statement may not be talking about you as the individual , but OBIVIOUSLY there is a portion of our society that still harbors these feelings. That is what he is addressing.
