You make a valid point that the term he used is harsh and mean. But don't assume he is a bad person, you can't say he isn't evangelist material based on 1 wrong term he used.

If we're gonna hold words against people, well obama isn't president material, because you remember that one time he said the N-word. No president should use racial slurs. You see what I'm getting at.

He used it in a post on a major tech forum, specifically asking for advice about becoming an evangelist. It's not like Obama merely saying the N-word, it's like Obama saying the N-word in a speech about the proliferation of hate speech against the black community in America.
