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."

There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." -- Booker T. Washington

I think a lot of people agree, but are too afraid to say so. It is a very Un-PC opinion to have.
