Obama says he once broke a classmate's nose for calling him a racial slur

The 44th president shared the revelation in an episode of his Spotify podcast with Bruce Springsteen, "Renegades," released Monday.

"Listen, when I was in school, I had a friend. We played basketball together," Obama told the "Born in the U.S.A." singer during a wide-ranging conversation on race.

"And one time we got into a fight and he called me a c---," Obama said about 13 minutes into the episode before quipping of his Aloha State upbringing to chuckles from Springsteen, "Now first of all, ain’t no c---s in Hawaii, right?"

"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. [link to thehill.com (secure)]
