President Obama was checkmated into smiling when Larry Wilmore dropped the N bomb on him -- and couldn't respond the way he should have ... according to Rev. Al Sharpton.
Sharpton is pissed Wilmore referred to the Prez as "My n****" during his monologue at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend -- but he says the timing of it forced Obama to play it off like it was no big deal.
We asked Sharpton about what's turned into a raging debate: Is Obama cool with the n-word?
Watch the clip -- the Rev. thinks Obama was just taking the high road.
But we gotta ask ...
Obama and the n-word
