Former San Diego radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger finds herself in yet another pot of hot water. Yesterday on her national radio program, the outspoken host made what many are labeling racist remarks, and repeatedly used the n-word.
Her words: "Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic, and all you hear is nigger, nigger, nigger. I don't get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing. But when black people say it, it's affectionate."
Later, the on-air discussion with a caller identified as a black woman went like this:CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?
DR. LAURA: It depends how it's said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it's okay.
CALLER: But you're not black, they're not black, my husband is white.
DR. LAURA: Oh, I see, so a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.

Your problem, dear Laura, was watching trashy programming like HBO.

Truth hurts. She was right in what she said but due to political correctness she is forced to apologize.

“...trashy programming like HBO...”
HBO surpasses the main networks in trashiness which takes real effort. To paraphase an old Johnny Carson joke about the Hudson, “you can clean up HBO by pumping in raw sewage”.

Except that Laura didn’t “USE” the word. She simply pointed out the hypocrisy surrounding the use of that word using an example. Laura owed no one an apology IMHO.

Why should she apologize? She wasn't using the word nigger as a means of attacking blacks. She used it to make a legitimate point.
When politically-correct insanity end?

Same goes with the word fag. I would never use it, but my gay hairdresser uses it the same way blacks throw around the n word....as a term of endearment. What's wrong with using the fag? I don't think homosexual deviants intent on forcing their perversion on society and on taking away freedom from others deserve any respect whatsoever.

THe point she made was RIGHT. The way she made it was not only WRONG, but just plain DUMB. Especially in this climate.

You see, dear White reader, its OK for Blacks to call each other the word. Then the word is a term of affection,...Then you obviously have not seen the youtube clip of Chris Rock on racism.

I wish she hadnt apologized.You are so right. That was a mistake. She didn't call anybody anything. She simply made a very true statement.

->>With red hair, I have been called many names such as red, Carrot top, little Red all my life. I guess I should really push for no one to be able to use these words. (sic)<<-
LOL!. Hey, I've been without hair most of my life. Almost not a day goes by without someone referring to me as, ‘baldy’. Thus, I protest these are racist comments and I want reparations too.
Also, in Japan, the Japanese refer to any non-Japanese person as a ‘gaijin’, meaning not of Japanese decent, AKA, foreign born. Just saying...

I heard it, she was race baited by a women of color. She said nothing wrong. The caller - she is the one who keeps the race thang going.
