Downvoters, may I know what's wrong with this post? Your feedback will help me improve it. — Sakib Arifin, Dec 07 '16 at 14:13
I understand that you aren't from the USA (neither am I!) but you should be aware that this word is considered extremely offensive there, and this question may be seen as provocative. To date, [no topics have been declared taboo here](http://meta.skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/892/23) - although we try to be sensitive about suicide. — Oddthinking, Dec 07 '16 at 14:15

Esquire on the same day reported:

The guest, Charles Kaiser, has apologized for "misattributing" the quote to Steve Bannon. Kaiser told Washington Post media reporter Erik Wemple Tuesday afternoon that he meant to say that Trump Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions had used the N-word, not Bannon.
