Obama cites n word to discuss race in US progress
In a podcast after the Charleston church killings, President Obama used a racial slur to illustrate that racism persists. He noted slavery and Jim Crow remain in the nation by saying it is not cured and that societies do not erase 200 to 300 years of history overnight. Local reactions focus on the Confederate flag, with lawmakers like Justin Bamberg urging removal from state grounds and plans for possible action as early as mid July. The National Urban League and Charleston Trident Urban League spoke against public displays, pledging to move meetings if the flag stays.
