Is the Romney/Ryan campaign trying to "niggerize" Obama?

A black reporter on MSNBC used the word "Niggerize" to describe the incessant characterization of the President as "angry & divisive." This brought the expected howls of outrage from the right. The reporter gave a qualified apology in response to the Romney/Ryan ticket's demand for a retraction and an apology. He regreted the choice of the word niggerize but not for his contention that the Romney campaign is using coded race hate speech.
I agree with this contention in case you were wondering. The use of the descriptive angry plays into that common narrative that blacks are angry and to be feared. Flame away.
