Mike Malloy, who gained credibilty with the American anti-war audience for screaming about Bush/Cheney and WMD lies for that last 10 years, a couple weeks ago Malloy called Obama "a house negro" an unnecessary racial slur which discredits the peace movement as a whole, IMO.
Mike Malloy often uses the derogatory "queers" to describe gays, and yells "negros" in oder to mimick or criticize the southern Right Wing, but the ugly, race baiting device seems rather the tactic of dinosaurs
these days.
Dick Gregory, an anti-war Obama critic, by contrast, said the same thing in a on-air critique of Obama but without using the n-word. "We finally elected the first black President, and he's white," he said.

So is it acceptable for a white to call the President this, or for a black person to call the President an Uncle Tom?
Shouldn't have we gotten past this as a country by now?
It is 2013, after all, right?
Why do some people want to pretend its still 1960 in terms of their language, mentality and word usage?
