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.”

“And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘n----r’ in public,” Obama said during the interview. “That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination.

No little bammy, we did not believe you then and you just proved that we normal Americans were correct.

I tried to read a few jokes that were told, but like all things black, they made no sense, and gave me a headache so I had to stop. To me, it all sounds like- “iggy, ziggy zap-( obscure football or basketball joke), nigga nigga nigga- ( thunderous applause).

Sharpton might be scrounging around for something to gripe about. The latest I’d heard out of him last week was when he announced that if Trump becomes POTUS, he’s moving to Canada. Now that there is a FINE reason to vote for The Donald.

Why does anyone care what Sharpton thinks (?) or says? What is the objective basis of his grossly over-rated status?

Except that Obama isn’t descended from slaves. He’s descended from slave owners.

That makes him a cracker.

Maybe Sharpton’s upset that the term was used in reference to a man born of a white woman. How can 0bama’s white privilege be curtailed when he’s allowed to accept the use of that term. It’s racist for the half-white president to not be half-offended.

Better do your home work Ham was NOT black. It is NOT Obama’s skin color that is his problem. It is the junk he has for brains that is his problem.

The word, that everyone heard, and now we all pretend that we didn't hear and wilmore didn't say was NIGGA. Why in the hell can some black assed negro call a halfrican that happens to live in the white hut, on national TV, a NIGGA, and then the whole reporting world says, "He used the N-word".

I'm sick to death of this double standard. This is just another reason that Trump is so popular, he will call hildabutchbitch crooked, and will not not back away from "forbidden" words.

Blacks can use words that whites can never speak (unless you’re a Democrat in the Senate).

Takes me waaaaaaay back to a show with Moms Mabley on it. She was asked about the NAACP and she said that it stood for "Niggers Aren't Always Colored People".

I guess Obama is proof of that.....

Why do I gave to read “ni__a” here instead of the REAL word that was already used on full TV during prime time, to the face of a black president? Why are WE forced to deny reality and be restricted in our use of FREE Speech while others do not?

Agreed. First of all, my reference to his bloodline was a random stab. Only God knows his actual pedigree.

I wasn’t alluding to his skin color; the commie libs do that. Obunga’s skin is dark, not so much from negro blood, as from where his ancestors came. Africa. HAM doesn’t mean “black” anyhow; it means HOT. Egyptians were Hamites.

It would be difficult to trace Obunga’s pedigree. From Kenya, and a muslim. Surely of both arab or other Ishmael-ite blood; but probably various other inter-marrying in Africa. So long before his black father and white mother got together, the bloods were thoroughly mixed up.

Furthermore, there are some pretty bright people who question whether BHO, Sr. was even Obunga’s sire. Some say Frank Marshall Davis, and others even say Malcolm-X, because around the time of O’s conception his mother had a fling with X’s muslim cause, if not with himself physically.

Obunga despises and hates America, our Founding and our Constitution. THAT’s why he is doing what he’s doing. Trump’s my man, but I disagree with him regarding Obama. Trump says he’s just inept. I think everything he’s done has been with malice aforethought. But once you get into that, then you have to try him for treason. Trump doesn’t want to open THAT can of worms, so he just says Obama is incompetent; which he is; never having managed so much as a pushcart selling hot dogs.

Peace and blessings.
