#15: Barack Obama Says The N-Word

Summary: President Barack Obama was on Marc Maron's podcast WTF where he gave a lengthy interview. Topics ranged from his childhood, favourite comedians, race relations and politics in general. The whole interview is worth checking out. But there was one part that made news headlines. When talking about race in the US he said the n-word. He was essentially saying that just because it's no longer polite to say that word, doesn't mean racism has gone away. The irony is that when Barack Obama says the n-word and people freak out, those are the people he's talking about.
