Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History

A liberal newspaper in New York City was trying to be edgy when it published a rambling nonsense piece about how everyone who disagrees with any of the policies of Obama is a hardcore racist and titled it “The Nigger in the White House.”
Unsurprisingly, even though the headline was designed to mock those who are viewed by the liberals as evil racists, the paper was accused of engaging in evil racism, because this is a trigger word.
The shocking headline in the WestView News is a reference to President Obama and sits at the top of Page 15 above an opinion piece that criticizes what it calls the anti-black “racism” of far-right voters.
The convoluted screed by author and journalist James Lincoln Collier is actually a pro-Obama piece — but that didn’t stop West Villagers from decrying the printing of the slur.
“It’s disrespectful in any context to refer to the president of the United States as the N-word,” said one West Villager, Eugene May.
“If you were quoting something or referring to the historic context of the word being used, I can understand the justification,” said May, 31.
Any ironic intent in calling Obama by the word was no consolation, he said.
“It seems he’s just using it for shock value,” May added.
Fellow West Villager Joe Megie, a self-described “black Republican,” also blasted the headline.
“My first take is, it’s sad,” said Megie, 38, the CFO of Gay Men’s Health Crisis.
What, neighbors wondered, was the neighborhood monthly’s 86-year-old editor/publisher, George Capsis, thinking?
“The editorial staff continues to object” to the use of the word, Capsis writes in a head-scratcher of an explanation.
“In this article, however, Jim reminded me that The New York Times avoids using the word which convinced me that WestView should,” he added.
Collier “wanted to use the word” to “shock us into accepting that there are people who believe and use this outrageous word,” Capsis went on.
Yes. The big bad boogiemen who use the “n-word.” We must never forget that they exist. They are the ultimate threat to all society, what with their evil feelings and evil beliefs and evil speech and no power whatsoever at all. They are the ones we must worry about.
We may have stopped them from being able to voice their opinion at all, everywhere, but democracy will not ever be safe as long as people are able to utter mean words in private conversation in their own homes.
These words can hurt people’s feelings, you see. And that is the most dangerous thing which ever existed in history: the ability to hurt someone’s feelings.
It was not long ago – a mere century – that you could use this same title for a newspaper piece without being sarcastic and the people would not bat an eye. In fact, they would reprint it for years on end.
Because at that time, even inviting a black man to dine in the White House was considered obviously and plainly deranged and weird. Now We’ve got a black President.
Literally, people. There is a black President of the United States.
He’s from Kenya, and his name is Barack Obama.
“Niggers in the White House” is a poem that was published in newspapers around the United States between 1901 and 1903. The poem was written in reaction to an October 1901 White House dinner hosted by Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, who had invited Booker T. Washington, an African-American presidential adviser, as a guest. The poem reappeared in 1929 after First Lady Lou Hoover, wife of President Herbert Hoover, invited the wife of African-American congressman, Oscar DePriest, to a tea for congressmens’ wives at the White House.
Both visits triggered widespread condemnation by many throughout the United States, particularly throughout the South. Elected representatives in Congress and state legislatures from southern states voiced objections to the presence of an African American as a guest of the First Family.
The poem is composed of fourteen four-line stanzas, in each of which the second and fourth lines rhyme. The poem also frequently uses the titular epithet “nigger” (over 20 times) as a term to represent African Americans. Senator Hiram Bingham (R) of Connecticut described the poem as “indecent, obscene doggerel.”
The identity of the author, who used the byline “unchained poet”, remains unknown.
