During an interview with Mark Maron this past weekend, President Obama used the n-word while accusing the United States of being a racist nation.
“I always tell young people, in particular, do not say that nothing has changed when it comes to race in America, unless you’ve lived through being a black man in the 1950s or ’60s or ’70s. It is incontrovertible that race relations have improved significantly during my lifetime and yours.
“Racism, we are not cured of it. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say n*gger in public. 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," President Obama said.
