He drops the N-word at one point in the interview

I watched it earlier today. It's not the first time a black man has dropped the N word, so personally I didn't see a problem with it though I have a feeling others will make a big stink over it.

I think he was using the actual word in order to make a point. He could have just said "the n-word" but that wouldn't change the intent of what he was saying.

Black privilege

Or is that white privilege?

Black-white privilege?

White-black privilege?

I'm confused.

None of the above.

He does, of course, have presidential privilege.
