Well it seems that Rev. Jesse Jackson did actually use the n word, in what was a controversial conversation caught on tape from Fox News. Although he did use the n word, he did not use it to describe Barack Obama.
TVNewser.com has managed to obtain the transcript from the conversation; they confirm that Jackson’s use of the n word had been edited out of the video that was aired on Fox.
The transcript read “Barack…he’s talking down to black people…telling n–s how to behave.” This is what was said during an off-mic moment.
It seems that Jackson’s use of the n word makes him a bit of a hypocrite, as he has condemned the use of the word by others. Just last year Jackson issued a statement condemning rapper Nas for wanting to release an album called Nigga.
The N word is morally offensive, so why would someone like Jackson want to use the word, it is socially distasteful.
