Why "bleep" the President of the United States?
)
June 23rd, 2015
The other day, in an interview, the president discussed race relations in America. Like most things he talks about, his thoughts and words were measured and reasonably well organized. He has a very academic way about him, when he is not giving a prepared speech. The context of his discussion was somber and serious. In the course of his discussion he used the word nigger…again in a very academic sort of context.
Every news outlet that I have seen or heard, when they reported on this interview, bleeped the word.
I find this to be ridiculous. He’s the president, for heavens sake, he is black, he is not some psychotic racist, and he was using it in context that was not offensive or sensational.
In my opinion, this is one more indication that the American civilization be losing it’s collective mind.
Why would anybody decide they should bleep the president?
