Liberal Newspaper Calls Obama The N*gger In The White House, See How He Responds A Manhattan newspaper recently shocked audience after making the decision to run an article with an extraordinarily offensive headline. The article, entitled The N*gger in the White House was published in WestView News, and was a piece designed to support President Obama. The author (an author of childrens books), James Lincoln Collier, wrote the article to criticize the anti-black racism of far-right voters and to claim that far-right voters hate Obama because hes black. Even though the piece was written in support of Obama, it caused upheaval in the West Village residents, who are shocked that the paper would make the decision to use the word. George Capsis, editor of the paper, had a lot of explaining to do, and claimed, The editorial staff continue to object to the use of the word. In this article, however, Jim reminded me that The New York Times avoids using the word which convinced me that WestView should. He continued on the claim that Collier used the word with the intention to shock the public into understanding that there are people out there today who actually use the word. Colliers piece looks at the irreducible measure of racism in the US and how he believes it has been bolstered by Americas increasing tolerance of far-right opinion, Capsis went on. Still, readers were not happy with the papers decision. What do you think?
