President Barack Obama Says He Broke Kid’s Nose Who Called Him A Racial Slur
"Ain't No Coons In Hawaii" - Barack Hussein Obama
The former President was speaking with Bruce Springsteen on their new Spotify podcast, "Renegades: Born in the USA," and amid a wide-ranging conversation about their lives, politics, music and race ... Obama recalled the incident with a classmate.
He says the kid was a friend he played basketball with, and one time they got into a fight and his friend called him a racial slur ... different from the n-word. He called him a coon!
Obama says he doesn't even think his schoolmate knew what the word meant -- just that it was meant to be hurtful -- so he "popped him in the face and broke his nose" while they were in the locker room.
Obama says his friend asked him why he did that, and he told him ... "Don't ever call me something like that."
Their podcast series is a 6-parter ... with the third episode coming soon.
