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. They also reflect a growing willingness for Obama to discuss race during the final years of his presidency....

In all of this talk about the continued and pervasive existance of racism here in the US, has any leader or commentator of significance proposed a solution other than to get rid of the ANoVA flag and enact stricter gun control?

Any other solution at all?

White America is FAR less racist than black America... less than Euro-Mexicans are against Mestizo (native) Mexicans... than Han Chinese against other Chinese ethnicities and blacks... than Japanese against everyone... than southern Africans against whites... than Europeans against Gypsies...

If you ever actually travel anywhere on earth, you'll quickly find that white Americans are one of the few groups on earth that fear the label "racist".

You hit the nail on the head.

Progressives constantly yammer about how Republicans are ‘living in the past’ The reality is the Progressives are pathologically stuck in the past. To them, race relations haven’t changed since 1866. They want everyone living in mud huts subsisting on grass and insects (circa 7000 BC) so they can ‘save the planet’. Politically they want to return to Moscow, 1917.

Racism will ALWAYS be an issue for them. They believe in The Permanent Problem (I just coined that phrase). Plus, it makes a lot of money for them.

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

But BO's white-trash half isn't black...
∴ BO must be racist.

Classless and feckless. In no way does he deserve the title he holds. I resent my countrymen for making me endure this man for almost a decade of my life!
