The only time I have ever thought about the “N” word in relation to a person was with Barack Obama and yes it was deserved.

Not that I'm inclined to use the word, anyway, but I would never think of calling Obama a "nigger". Why? Because that word has a distinct place in American history for a distinct group of people - namely blacks, especially poor blacks. American blacks call each other "nigger" all the time, almost as a matter of pride, to show some solidarity as a group of people who have (in the past) endured oppression. Obama doesn't deserve that label, even as an insult. He is a half white, half God-knows-what, but presumably African, rich, pampered little sissy who has never known anything but coddling and privilege in his life. Calling Obama a "nigger" would give him sense of identity that he doesn't deserve and has not earned.

If I were going to call Obama a racial name, I'd call him a rich candy-ass white limousine commie.

Outstanding and quite astute. The “real” blacks of the US knew this all along, and the non-Christians and many of the day to day folks who are morally conservative... went along with the expected gravy train. Only to find out that he is the napkin carrier for a bunch of lily white liberal a@@holes assuaging their intellectual guilt for being born white. The man is a complete fraud and dangerous to what is true of America— that it is a land of opportunity regardless, unless you want to wear the perpetual mantle of victim.

“Not that I’m inclined to use the word, anyway, but I would never think of calling Obama a “nigger”. Why?”

It all depends on what your definition of “N” is.
“N” in its classical sense was derogatory. To call one a
Black man, woman, person was and still is a show of earned
respect.
So yes, to use the word as a description of Obama would be
accurate though you do bring a certain plausibility.
After all is he really American? Does American history
really matter to this clown, Obama?

Well, to tell the family secret, his grandmother was Dutch.
