Obama appearantly can also speak "Negro" when necessary

Tell that to Trent Lott or Sen George Allen.

Trent "When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over the years, either."
Lott

"I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigra race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches." Strom Turmond during his presidential campaign

and

George "Let's give a welcome to macaca (monkey), here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia." Allen? Who didn't resign btw, even if it did cost him the election.

Suure, it's on the same level.

LOL. The negro dialect is the same way white trash from the south talk. It's just the poor southern dialect, there's nothing "negro" about it

God the more I post here the more I think some of you were raised in bubbles..

This always bothers me. Why should a U.S. politician be knowledgeable of all European racial slurs? It's clearly a play on the name as the person isn't even a black African.

Well, he could simply have used a made up word, that accidently was a racial slur. He could have played on mohawk as claimed (and not S.R. Sidarth's real name) and possibly used a word he heard in his youth (his mother lived in region where they might've used it).

But he is also using it in a very disparaging context, so unless he has a notable habit of spewing out nonsense words in that context, it's way more probable that he had some knowledge of it's derogatory context as an insult based on race.

It has confirmed use in north africa, where there's a certain lack of black people. It's not like only blacks can and have been exposed to racial slurs.

This is legitimate and my main problem with the statement. IIRC Mohawk monkey boy worked for a political opponent and the statement demonstrated a lack of basic respect.
