Barack Obama used the “N-Word” while making a point during a podcast yesterday and the media went into a frenzy. To me it wasn’t a big deal but to some it was reprehensible. Someone appearing on Fox News called him the “Rapper-in-Chief.” The media was proving his point without even noticing. What Obama stated was, “Racism, we are not cured of it. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ni**er in public.” Clearly he is saying too much emphasis is put on the N-Word rather than the real issues. Racism is a lot deeper than derogatory terms and affects people in more detrimental manners. Do you agree the media is sensationalizing Obama’s comment?
