Obama on Marc Maron’s Podcast: Racism Is More Than ‘N****r’

[Zethin]

Leave it to FP to derail a thread about Obama discussing modern day racism into a debate about meshing state with religion :v:

E: also is there even a point to the "N word" nowadays? It's been run into the ground so hard that it no longer maintains anywhere close to the original impact it had.

I have to agree that true racism lies outside calling someone a dumb word that has been used for hundreds of years.

The message has been skewed by controversy and sensationalism by, what I would consider a poorly phrased sentence.

The message is unarguably true, but it isn't simply an American problem, and there are less controversial ways to communicate such things and it would be just as if not [I]more[/I] effective to boot.
