From The Washington Post:
President Obama made headlines earlier this week when he said the n-word in the aftermath
of recent racial violence in Charleston. The president’s premeditated purpose in using

just overt expressions of racial prejudice and discrimination. … Michael Tesler is
assistant professor of political science at UC Irvine.
