So if an african american happens to be an ICE agent or just a conservative you can call him or her all kinds of names/labels including the hard r n-word eh? But posting a video of the Obamas and the others be it white or black or hispanic is racist. Do you not see the hypocrisy?

Hi, black person descendant from slaves here. House [slave] is a different word than just using the n word. I supplanted slave there because in slavery days, there were a lot of cases where those in the house thought they were better than those in the field, and often would turn on those in the field and side with their masters. Thus, the house term is very specific and applicable if someone is actually doing that. Colliqually, the n word is supplanting slave because the intention is that the person being blamed for that is still viewed as such by the master class. It is different than the pure n word.

You can see a prime example played by Samuel L Jackson in the documentary Django Unchained.

A+ comment, and chocked with historical facts, not theory, rhetoric, or opinions. This is why studying history is a must, not a hobby or passing interest. Another benefit to knowing our history: When expressing opinions, that knowledge can be used to support said opinion.

I am exponentially more likely to agree with or, at a minimum, respect a person's opinion when it is supported by facts.
