“It doesn’t have to be overt, the president is right about that,” West continued. “But too many black people are niggerized. I would say the first black president has become the first niggerized black president.”

1. Might I suggest reading Dr. West's 2007 piece about the term and what it means?

Please do inform yourself.

2. What ever makes you uncomfortable
