My guess, why conservatives are pissed at Obama for saying "n*****"

http://www.salon.com/2015/06/10/greg_gutfelds_new_comedy_show_for_fox_news_shows_once_again_why_there_are_no_great_conservative_comics/

"When Kilmeade points out that in Quinn’s new book, “The Coloring Book: A Comedian Solves Race Relations in America,” the comedian talks “about growing up with Italians, Jews, Koreans, and Chinese,” he’s positively radiating jealousy. Whereas Quinn’s humor originates from an intimate knowledge of the social situations into which he was born and in which he was raised, Kilmeade is enraptured by the very thought of making jokes at the expense of Italians, Jews, Koreans, and Chinese."



They are jealous.
"He gets to say the word? He gets to say the word and nobody is offended? WTF? That's not fair! Why not me? I want to say the word... in a totally professional way that allows me to use one of those fake sorry-if-anybody-felt-offended apologies..."

That point being, racism is a lot more than using the n-word

I've seen it burn in their eyes every since Obama was elected president! They strain so hard not to say it, they must bust blood vessels all the time.
