After Charleston: Obama uses the N-word in US racism debate
- 9 years ago
A week after the shooting in Charleston, Barack Obama is determined to tackle both the issues of gun control laws and racism. In an interview, he purposely used the "N-word" to strengthen his point. Has a wind of change finally reached America? Walmart has removed Confederate flag merchandise from its stores, and the Republican governor of South Carolina has ordered the legislature to "take down the flag". Just how far is the Deep South going to tackle prejudice in the wake of the attack?
