I would agree. White people..mainly right wingers came up with the term in order to mock it. Obama took it and owned it...despite it's intentional negativity to show you can't push him around.
I think all the negativity from the right towards blacks, is the fact...that they can't push them around no more. They can't "keep them in their place".
They want a republican president in hopes it will be the same but it is not going to happen. The colored people have now seen what can be accomplished if you go on the straight and narrow path.
The generation that is now..for a some it may be to late for them..but the future generation...watch it republicans.

MSNBC is obviously the MSM cable news channel that leans the furthest to the left. That said, she didn't *exactly* say the N-word and Obamacare are interchangeable, did she? She was drawing comparisons to the way in which the President has embraced the term "Obamacare," which was used a derisive term by opponents, and the way that black people have embraced the racial epithet. It's not dissimilar to how Fred Doyle originally coined the term "Big Bang" as a pejorative.
I personally winced the first time I heard the President refer to the PPACA as "Obamacare." I assume that had Democrats predicted the way things would unfold with the healthcare.gov website and insurance cancellation letters, they would have stuck to calling it the ACA or PPACA.
Maybe they should have just called it RomneyCareedit on 8-12-2013 by theantediluvian because: (no reason given)
