President Barack Obama used the n-word during an interview released Monday to make a point that there's still plenty of room for America to combat racism.

"Racism, we are not cured of it. And it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public," Obama said in an interview for the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron."

"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 200 to 300 years prior."

The jarring comment comes as the nation is engaged in a debate over the role of race after a white supremacist killed nine African-Americans last week in a historically black church in Charleston.

It’s okay, because he’s black. It’s not racism!

Just suppose a news announcer quoted him verbatim. A White announcer would be condemned for racism.

The country has collectively lost its mind.

It will never be cured under Obama. I will be nurtured, planted, harvested and sold. Far too much money and power to be derived from setting people against people.

What happened in Charleston this weekend was the complete opposite of what Obama wanted to happen

Right.

If Whiteys did it, then all Whiteys are guilty for the next 1200 to 1300 years.

When Obama uses the word “nigger”, is his racist half talking? What a goof!

Lazy, Ignorant, Stupid, yet full of Arrogance? Obama is the sort of man for which the "N-word" was created.

Did he offer any examples of nations where blacks and whites get along better than America?

Obama is on a full court press to divide America - by race, by ethnicity, by have/have nots, people versus business, etc.

Throughout history those who seek violence and division have been labeled as evil. Does this make Obama evil??
