Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced tonight she is ending her radio show, a week after she broadcast a five-minute-long rant in which she used the N-word 11 times.Any sane person who heard the entire conversation Dr. Laura had with that Black caller, in which she used the N-word 11 times, understood full damn well the context she was using it in, making a point--"Black people say 'nigger' all the time so what's the big deal if whites use it?"-- that while culturally ignorant, wasn't at all "RACIST!" But leave it to the desperate loons on the Left, from the usual suspects like Al Sharpton to the NYTimes, to pull out the race card, deflect from the real issues facing Americans and attack a white conservative radio talk show host (a cohesive effort to protect a growingly unpopular radically liberal President, no doubt). It's what they do all the time and Dr. Laura should've had enough guts not to cave to their liberal terrorism.
Schlessinger said on "Larry King Live" tonight that she has decided "not to do radio anymore" so she can say the things she wants to say.
"The reason is, I want to regain my First Amendment rights," she said. "I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that."

It's funny that you call her "culturally ignorant" in the same sentence in which you quote her saying the "n" word, and then insist, as though it's obvious to everyone, that her doing so wasn't racist. I get that you think you're culturally sophisticated enough to judge such a thing correctly-- and it's amusing to see you trumpet with such assurance the ignorance of another while being such a cultural naif yourself.
ReplyDeleteShe is culturally ignorant, by the way, but it's only by dumb luck that you said so.
People who spread and cultivate hate based on race are racist, unless you got some file on Dr. Laura that the rest of the world doesn't know about you're as much of an ignoramus as your words suggest.
ReplyDeleteI know that quiet a few African Americans are upset at the usage of the “N” word by Dr. Laura. I do have a question though and that deals with the power of words? Do we give so much power to that word it makes people of a different race feel more superior than our race. I think that in order to truly be able to not get offended we must realize that words only posse the power that you give them. No I am not condoning what Dr. Laura said but I certainly am asking a question to my fellow African Americans. How much longer will we allow individuals to use words that we believe degrade the African American culture? http://bit.ly/btdksH
