Is America that stupid?!

[Mosiah]

Why are people making such a big deal about the president using the N word, or n i g ger?

If a white president used it in the same context it would certainly be ok with me.

The things that people find offensive in America...take down the damn battle flag of the confederacy, that's what's truly offensive!

Yuh listened to the interview, and nuh check wha the media sey?
Haven't heard it...

[Tilla]

It just annoys me hearing them to on about it while totally ignoring the context.

[Mosiah]

Exactly!

You'd think Obama just said, My ni gga, Colin Powell, was in the Oval Office yesterday...

Here is the thing though, Obama probably anticipated that using the word would get this kind of response. This is not a man who speaks off the cuff, he is very calculated.

I suspect that he wanted the interview to get attention.

There is no doubt in my mind he knew exactly what he was doing and why, and he anticipated the dumbass reaction to it.

You should see how 'angry' the [regular] black commentators were on FOX News.

They wanted to shyte themselves over the comment. 'How dare the holder of the highest office in the land utter such a word'. Meanwhile, their white counterparts were just drinking it all in.

The biggest irony is that a white analyst--contextualized the comment, but they refused to understand.

Sad.

I see nothing wrong with his comments. Normally I turn off the media & follow Lisa Hanna & Kaci Fennell on facebook.

Funny how worked up we're getting when Obama uses the N word. I wonder if these same people are as worked up when he has been called ni gg er. What have those black commentators said about West's characterization of POTUS as nigg er?
