Rev. Al Sharpton rips Larry Wilmore for saying N-word to President Obama
New York Daily News ^ | May 1, 2016 | Reuven Blau

Comedian Larry Wilmore’s friendly reference to President Obama as “my n---a” has ignited a social media maelstrom, with some, including Rev. Al Sharpton, criticizing the use of the racist term.

The Comedy Central host concluded his monologue with the term at the White House Correspondents’ dinner Saturday night.

“Words alone do me no justice. So Mr. President I’m going to keep it 100: Yo Barry, you did it my n---a,” Wilmore told the black tie audience. “You did it.”

Don’t guess Al got the memo that’s it OK in certain circles to call the president the N word.

Sharpton did not get the context. Huge difference between:

Yo Barry, you did it my n---a

And

Yo Barry, you did it, you became da mans n---er

It was classless. I am not surprised Obama went along with it just fine.

I suppose that it is acceptable language now? None of the media elites condemned Wilmore for his calling the President a n—ga. Worse yet, Obama high fived and hugged Wilmore seconds after the slur was made??? Others have been fired from their job for saying a lot less.

It’s perfectly acceptable to use racist terms if you’re a leftist.

If Clinton becomes president, I wouldn’t be shocked if some of the classless comediennes call her certain words in similar settings. And probably some will laugh and some will not. Meanwhile, Rome burns.

When will they get it right. Al is no more a reverend than I am. Neither is Jesse Jackson. Neither man finished divinity school, had a congregation, or a church. Al was “ordained” by a DC preacher at age 10 and has perpetuated the lie ever since. Both men have come down on the wrong side of the truth every time, from Tawana Brawley to the Duke Five, but neither has ever been contrite about their lies. Both men make a living stirring the pot of racial unrest and, without it, would simply fade away because they are not worthy of a mote in Man’s history.

Hillary will bring in a comedienne to do vagina jokes probably.

If this isn’t rock bottom for America, then I hate to see it when it comes.

It was a compliment.

When people use that word referring to Al Sharpton, it is not. That is why it makes him angry.

What’s the big deal? Obunga isn’t half-negro; he’s half-arab. He’s not a descendant of Ham; he’s a descendant of Ishmael.

I thought everyone knew that.
