respect for our President
I am a 50+ female and I need ideas on how to respond politely to people who disrespect our President by calling him the N word. I get angrier every time I hear it and one of these days I'm going to blow like dynomite.

It is infuriating. I commend you for wanting to be polite. I think the best course of action would be to ask them why. Ask them why they feel that way about President Barack Obama. Ask them why they think it is acceptable to use that word and what they think it means. The reason I tell you to ask them these questions is because they will not have a logical explanation. Chances are they will get angry if you ask them questions, but stay as calm as possible. They get angry because they don't want to admit that they are wrong. The only thing you can do is point out the error in (or lack of) logic. In the end, you may not be able to change their views, and you may not be able to make them realize that what they are saying is wrong, but you will know that you are right and you did all you could to try to make them see the error of their ways. Some people will be stubborn and ignorant until they die. It doesn't mean they are terrible people, they just might not know any better. Good luck, and I hope you feel better.

You tell them that they shouldn't be worried about Obama. You should be worried about the fact that he's a facade, that his policies have continued in the exact course of the Bush presidency in every way, and that in the first months of office he has systematically broken every single promise he made during his campaign.
You should tell them that instead of focusing on bullshit racial prejudice that they should judge Obama as Dr. Martin Luther King would have wanted "Not by the color of his skin, but the content of his character"
Obama is a slimy lying sack of fake political bullshit the same way every single person in elected office is these days, he is interested in people for the government, of the government, and by the government, rather than the other way around.
The next time someone calls Obama the N word, tell them that their idiocy is blinding them to what is actually going on in the world, and that Obama is the mask someone else is wearing to pull the strings.
And there is no point in anger with the mask. His purpose is to hide whats beneath, and if you focus on him, you won't ever see it coming.

Advise them that your country released itself from the shackles of socially acceptable racism 40 years ago and that, if they hadn't noticed, that man is possibly the most powerful man on the planet. I might also like to say kudos for him and your country for electing him and proving to the world you are able to forget your past and elect someone who 50 years ago wouldn't have been able to sit in the front of the bus.
But yes, tell them that America is a country where that word is unacceptable in a derogatory manner.

You can always say that "Right now you are inferior because that n***** is the President so I wonder what that makes you". The opposite party should realize that they can't belittle someone that's above them because they are below that person. My advice is not to curse and explode, our current President has a wide enough support in the public so an individual's oppinion doesn't really matter.
I'm glad to see more support for the new administration :)
