Someone elsewhere mentioned that Obama’s election has now changed freedom of speech.

That is, the “n” word is no longer forbidden invective, it is now political speech, and thus constitutionally protected. Because it no longer means someone with dark skin, but people who are “like” Obama and support Obama.

Obama supporters are labeled with the “n” word. And since 97% of black Americans voted for Obama, they should now expect to be called the “n” word as well, with the exception of black conservative Republican Americans, for whom the “n” word remains an invective.

To be fair, anyone, no matter their race, who are Obama supporters, can be described by the “n” word. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Bill Richardson, Rahm Emmanuel, etc.

That's the stupidist and most naive thing I have ever heard. "constitutionally protected". I assume you just woke up from a 40 year nap

so put your money where your mouth is

if you honestly think the word “nigger” is now fair game for political speech, why didn’t you bother to spell it out once in the five times you mentioned it in your post?

jeez...

That won't win the GOP votes either, Kenyan-American would be better.
