Everyone has a podcast, and in case you hadn’t heard, former President Barack Obama told Bruce Springsteen on Spotify’s “Renegades” podcast that he once broke a classmate’s nose over a racial slur.

“It’s one of those things that — where he might not even known what a c— was — what he knew was, ‘I can hurt you by saying this,'” Obama, 59, continued.
The country’s first Black president added with a laugh, “And I remember I popped him in the face and broke his nose. And we were in the locker room.”
“Well done,” Springsteen remarked.
So a classmate called him what liberals on Twitter have called black conservatives like Tim Scott and Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas?
The Hill further reports, “It is believed to the first time the former president has discussed the incident publicly.”
