Obama's Use Of N-Word And K-Word Draw Ire

July 28. 2008

Barack Obama

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has upset some in his use of the N-word and K-word in reference to blacks and Jews in his 1996 book "Dreams from My Father." This item has been making its way around websites:

America's race and class problems are intertwined

Whether because of New York's density or because of its scale, it was only [there] that I began to grasp the almost mathematical precision with which America's race and class problems joined; the bile that flowed freely not just out on the streets but in the stalls of Columbia's bathrooms as well, where, no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence between niggers and kikes.
