OTHER ethinc males even from europe would use derogatorty words among themSELVES since theyre MALES you dont use this around women..paddy, guido, limey , etc
the white guy the black caller was married to is a WUSS he should of stood up to his friends. I hate it too-- but its usually done among males but NOT females...yes she lost her show and is on SIRIUS becuase of this
Listening to the conversion it seems Dr. Laura needs a reality check and learn that people who are in power need to be held to a higher standard. She is insensitive and it sounded as though she just didn't care. She deserved to lose her job.
Look at her lifestyle and the lies she told. Now she's dead. I have no pity for her. Many of the black people need to get a life, especially those who voted for the Mixed Obama who is a Muslim! He ain't all black!!!!!!!!
They went through MORE than black slaves did. Then, there are Christians who are beheaded for their faith and lastly, there is slavery among young children of all colors and all ages right next door to us. I'm fed up with Al Sharpten and his stupid mouth. He and the "So-called "Rev" Jesse Jackson accused the Durham boys of raping that black girl when they DID NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all I don't think she was wrong. It seems to be ok for blacks to call each other "niggers" but not whites. You can call us bitches but we can't call u niggers. I DON'T agree withe using the word period but please NOT all of you were in slavery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about the Jew sin the holocaust.
People need to understand the misconception with this word. Nigga and Nigger are two different words. Nigga is okay to say because it means a totally different meaning than nigger. It just depends on how you say it.
Nancy Giles is so smart, and so funny, and she finds a way to, I don't know, teach people basic decency without being preachy or whatever. I guess I still think of her as Frankie trying just to get along with people.
IAN gon lie i say nigga...alot, but im black and im highly educated,i jus say it.is it right not really,but its not really wrong either.my friends say it sum white but we all make jokes frum time to time. Dr Laura shouldnt wanna say that word bcauz even though we werent in slavery, our ancestors were. and jus lik we pay homage to war heroes, the should be done for slaves and blacks. ion care wat point she was tryna make....its still a way to go about sayin it. sh culd said "the n-word."uncalled4
white people want to use it so bad. So, is it a power/control thing, they want to copy black people, they don't want to seem left out, they feel it hinders their freedom of speech, or some combination.
Why do white people want to say the word so bad? I mean we all know there's a double standard: like women double standards when it comes to rape or sexual assault. Also, like societal double standards the things acceptable for men and things acceptable for women. So, why is it so hard to understand that its a racial double standard. Also, I mean white people claim to not like the word, but seem very concerned that black people use it and want to use it themselves. I don't understand why.........
OK,so black guys love to say nigger, 95% of the black people say nigger every second word. STOP being so sensitive .
PS- seem that you are racist yourself "what a black woman doing calling Dr Laura?" Get over yourself and instead of being African American how about just be an American!
I dont think she's racist but I think she like alot of other white people are tired of hearing us black people yell racism everytime something happens...AT DA SAME TIME it's not hard to see that most white people today feel that they are superior to all other races! You have to look at it from both sides
@obama4prezbabi How many black people think they're superior to all other races? Come on, if you think white people are the only ones who think that way, then you're crazy.
But you can see how many white people don't think whites are superior by how they act. A lot want to be black and a lot of others want to be Asian.
@ninjajesus81 Yea u right. There are a few. But for example if you go back and listen to her Nigger Rant you can kind of see what im talking bout. She said "us black people should be satisfied with a black president and that whites voted him in." she was trying to steal our high and put us in our place.
@obama4prezbabi I don't know what she was trying to do and neither do you. You're spinning it. You're doing what Al Sharpton does.
Also, why would blacks be "high" about a black president. Why should that matter unless blacks were racist? Are whites supposed to get a "high" from Eminem being one of the most successful rappers in an industry dominated by blacks?
Blacks like you freely admit to being racist, and you can't even see it... until a white HINTS at it, then you spot it easily.
@ninjajesus81 lol How in the world did I hint to being racist?! And for future refrences...when you use the term "Blacks Like You" it isnt helping. lol And we both listened to the audio!!!!! lol Its right there in black and white or are you deaf?! lol If u go back and read my first comment u can see what I made of it. #NoBigDeal
@ninjajesus81 And like I saide if you read my first comment you can see that I openly played both sides of the fence. I critiqued both races.....but youre only seeming to cum at one racee.....hmmmmmmm....which one is that? So before you try to prove sumin that isnt there its "Whites like you and Dr Laura" who are so hungry to spill out the truth that get caught up in their own sayings.
@obama4prezbabi You pretended to critique both races. You said whites are tired of hearing blacks whine, but then you go and say most whites are racist, which would give the blacks some justification for whining. I'm coming at one race because only one race is talking to me.
@ninjajesus81 lol did i EVER say most whites are racist? or that most whites feel superior? WHICH IS TRUE! its 2011 dawg. Im all for equlality and all dat but welcome to the real world. You cant tell me dat not once in your life YOU havent even felt like dat. No not many people would come out and say it but its the little things. That doesnt make u racist. But you my friend have ignorant comments like our friend Dr Laura here
@obama4prezbabi You said most whites feel superior to other races. That's the definition of racism. If you believe your race is superior to another one, you, by definition, are a racist. Look it up.
I can tell you that at no point did I think I'm better than blacks. First of all, I'm not all that great. I dropped out of school and still live with my parents. I got back in school though and I'm doing pretty good, but still. I don't think highly of myself at all. And "superior" is ill defined.
@ninjajesus81 the only point im trying to make that Dr Laura was wrong thats it. She said black people use the N Word all the time and blame other whites about their problem. But who are these black people?...Men who wear their pants below their waist and refer to women as bitches and think dat goin to jail is cool. If shes ignorant enough to make a comment referring to that then she obviously was in the wrong. So before you say "Blacks like you" again you might want to know who ur talking to
@obama4prezbabi yeah it's that type of people that say it all the time. But you never hear anybody speak against it or speak against it being used in media as much as it is by black artists. Sharpton is against that lady making a point but he never stands up against the use of the word and that lady that was on the talk show was pathetic as well. Even if her pants don't sag.
@obama4prezbabi She didn’t scream racism she was asking a simple question which she was unable to get out.
Everyone will say when a white person use a slur word they are not racist. Dr. Laura blatantly was prejudice against interracial dating. The issue of the matter she was being stereotypical and stating she was “hypersensitive” was truly absurd. People in general should be tired of racism both ways, the lady who called in was not wrong.
Nancy Giles is an idiot if she didn't get the philosophical point. Dr. Laura didn't need to put it on her site -- she SAID it during that call! Where does Nancy Giles get that Dr. Laura had a "burning desire" to say nigger? Now she knows her heart on the matter? She didn't bother to listen to Dr. Laura's point, which was the black community keeps that damned word alive then complain when others use it! Hypocritical!
@KandeeLopez: She heard her point and acknowledged it but ignored the whole point because no one wants to address why such a disgusting word is still used and accepted. Since Dr. Laura went about it the wrong way her point was invalidated by the mainstream media even though a real discussion needs to be had. She said Dr. Laura should watch "Eyes on the Prize" where the word is used, honestly all black youth should watch it and visit plantations to see get why it shouldn't be used.
@xTheDynastQueenx No, she did not acknowledge it at all. Instead, she deflected the real issue by making Dr. Laura the scapegoat. This was a total lack of responsibility (as a person of color myself, I believe in owning up to what my own people do!), and a total disservice to her own people.
@JewricanPrincess: I should have just stuck with heard instead of acknowledge as she didn't like you said, I even said ignored afterward which contradicts it. My bad.
@KandeeLopez Because Al Sharpton is the most outspoken, proud racist in the world, but no one seems to care. It's like "yeah... he's racist". But when a white guy is racist, it's "he's racist, that fucker is racist, did you see how racist he was? oh my god the racism of that racist made me want to run a race in a racy outfit so the racing racers raced the race"
Why didn't the caller simply say to Schlessinger "Look, I didn't call you to discuss "Societal Double Standards", I called you to get some advice on what I should say to my White Husband who ignores his family and friends when they make racial comments and ask me racial things about blacks as if I'm the spokes person for all blacks. My White Husband sees that it bothers me, but he does nothing about it".
I don't think one has to be a psychiatrist to come to the conclusion that whites who have no qualms with articulating the "N" Word all the way out as Dr. Laura did are racist at heart. EXAMPLE: Father Michael Pfleger, Pastor of St. Sabina's Perish in Chicago would simply say "The N Word". He has genuine respect for Black People. Schlessinger may not be a card carrying member of a White Hate Group, but clearly, she has zero respect for Black People in general.
@hexcane - I heard the entire clip. The Black Caller said that her husband ignores the racial comments and questions directed at her by his family and friends. She was calling Dr. Laura to get advice on how she can get him to see that it bothers her, but instead, Dr. Laura wanted to focus on the fact that SOME Black comedians and SOME members of the Black community use the word when referring to each other. The caller was having an issue with her husband not protecting her.
I think is was dumb for this black caller to ask a white person who has no type of significant connections or ties with the black community, or black people such a question. It's like, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT HER TO SAY? Of course she's going to think that the caller was being "hypersensitive". . This is tantamount to a white woman who's married to a black man asking Louis Farakkhan advice on how to deal with her husband's family and friend's questions on "White Exploitation" of other countries.
@nino4147 Dog so are you seru=iously saying you enjoyed hearing some white lady yous it as away to releive pint up anger. Dont write back you most likely are 17 year old white troller. So enjoy posing as black people.
@sambam2694 Learn the English language . . . go back to school and get your G.E.D. Your writing is a disgrace to all American's who use their native language CORRECTLY.
I have trouble understanding why some people don't get why if a white person call a black person the n word it's taking as a offensive word. The word was a tool for whites to mistreat the black race for the goal of profit and country construction and to promote a solidarity among whites when blacks use the word it doesn't hold the baggage of the mistreatment of the black race as it does when a white person use the word.d this goes for time after slavery as well.
Read this book, "The Compassionate Life" in it they talk about how simple things like mannerisms, emotional reactions, and emotions in general can be genetic. So like if you great grandpa was a cry baby you might be a crybaby, bad example but whatever. I was thinking maybe blacks are suffereing with this collective, emotional genetic baggage from slavery. Maybe they aren't looking to intentionally blame whites but it's wired in them. Same wit jews in the holocaust, jus saying. summin2 think abt
@Coryrr1 i am no leftist ... totally right wing here ... i do know racist rants ... get over yourself ... that laura, feels the same way about you non jewish boy.
Either way, if black people hate the word so much then they have to stop being so hypocritical and calling eachother "niggas". Considering 90% of rap songs use the word, I can honestly say the only people keeping the word so mainstream, is none other than Black people themselves. If you see two white people trying to act black and calling eachother "nigga", then they obviously think it's socially acceptable. Why? Because they're listening to rap/hiphop! White, Black, no one should use it. period
It's no one's job to EXPLAIN what Dr. Laura's point was!! My point is this: THE CALLER WAS CALLING TO ASK HER FOR ADVICE & SHE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO VENT ON HER OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS!!! THAT WAS INAPPROPRIATE!!! HAVE A SHOW ON THE "N" WORD BUT DON'T JUMP ON AN INNOCENT CALLER!!! That's the stupid part of what she did!!
I didn't force you to live in the projects! I DONT live in the projects because my husband and I chose to work what ever shit job we could get to pay our bills. We didn't blame the black man that took his job because of his color. Stop using excuses for "black" people living in the projects! I am the ONLY whit family in a BLACK neighborhood so go fuck yourself! I know my history honey! 4 years of black history month you jack ass!
& to all the people who are syaing "if black people can say the n word I can to" then go say it around some black ppl (not under your breath) and reason with them when they wanna fight and say "well you said it so i can say it to".Then if I fire a guy from his job because he's white and say "Ive been demoted from a job cuz im black so I can do it to", then when that happens im doing"reverse racism" which affects white people SO MUCH ,yall full of it
It's like this, Italians call each other guidos but if you call them one you'll get punched.Black people(some) use it as a term of endearment (Latinos get a pass to) but if white people use you'll get punched. It's an unwritten rule.It's a double standard but one MEASLE little one compared to all the double standards black people face from whites.
Why do white ppl wanna use the word so bad ANYWAYS?They been saying it for years
im white and proud to say nigger, nigger, nigger whenever i want. Nigger is/wasn't made to be a racialist term. When it was first used its definition was a slave of any race. That is whites, black,s mexicans, and hispanics of the spanish speaking language.
@iseeblood5 im not a choice of food because im white, and if your black your not a slave so get over it. and i say it anywhere, the people with common sense know it doesnt mean a black person. but all the dumb asses think that it does mean black people
@iseeblood5 eat shit white hater! Mabe if you "people" would get jobs and stop raping the system and stop blaming white people or "the man" for your issues you wouldn't be called nigger! And that term goes for White, black, green, brown any color person that does the same thing! And "cracker" is as racist as "nigger". And just as offensive asshole!
Dr. Lara is right blacks use the n word to each other all the time, I hear them say it to each other on the street so??? I think the black community should go after the blacks who are using the word not a white woman who is trying to figure out why one race cannot use the word and another can?
wow this video is stupid:) fucking A white people took every thing from us and we are still trying to recover:) And we can't even have a fucking word to ourselves:)?!? dats sum bull shiot:)!!
@imnotgoodwithguns WHAT EXACTLY DID WHITE PEOPLE TAKE FROM YOU PERSONALLY? Were u a slave? That's the problem right there! People generations passed slavery are still blaming white people for their problems. Lincoln freed the slaves, Kennedy gave them the right to vote and equality 40 years ago. Get over yourselves and start taking responsibility for your own selves. White people do when they lose a job to a black person BECAUSE that person is black not because they are more qualified. Asshole
@gloriasaul hhhhh... well im guessing your white. And you have no idea what it's like being a minority who grew up in fucked up places. first of all get your history right Lincoln did not free slaves r u kidding me? Fuckin Kennedy didn't give us the right to vote... It was the hard work of good moral ple and white and black abolitionist who worked there asses off to CONVINCE those people that blacks were equals. And I don't wake up in the morning and blame a white person cus i stubed my toe.
@gloriasaul No i was never a slave, but when i grew up as a kid i wasnt aloud to play with sum whit friends. I still grew up thinking that white ppl were prettier and better than black ppl. I still get called a nigger. And the reason y they would choose a minority over a white person for a job is because theyre still trying to get us to rise up from the fucking dust. stop being so fukin selfish. when u go to the fucking suburbs u c da majority is white. when u go to the projects u c blacks.
I couldn't care less about this lady... but she has a valid point. Nobody makes a big deal when a rapper says "nigger" 50 times in a song, or when someone says it in a movie or says it during a comedy show. If black people have such a huge problem than they shouldn't be saying it.
@beefygreenapples no, it's because white people pronounce it differently. If they say nigga, it's a term of endearment, but people like Dr. Laura says it as niggER, niggER, niggER.
Also black reverends shouldn't be considered good sources for racial philosophy. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson always seem to be brought up when something "racist" happens. In the words of Token from South Park, "Jesse Jackson is not the emperor of black people!"
@lasoogneypubes Blame a WHITE president who made the black people identify themselves as african-american. White people used to call them negro, then blacks, then coloreds, then african-american. Blame the WHITE GOVERNMENT. Lyndon B. Johnson and Reagan.
@blognewb I wasn't blaming black people for that. I was just saying how stupid it is. I know it's white people's fault for the term African-American. In the words of comedian David Cross (because I couldn't say it any better) "(The term African American)It's a ridiculous and ill-applied label that was accepted with a thoughtless rush just to make white people feel at ease and slightly noble."
Whats the burning desire with YOUR people, dipshit?
that is a disgusting word! Your people use it EVERY FUCKING DAY!
so as soon as a white person says it, decrepid, disgusting Al Sharpton gets involved, but i bet when he's talking to his black clients, "Whats up, nigga?" comes out of his mouth! This is just sad that blacks can use it & everyone turns their head. NOBODY SHOULD BE SAYING IT!!
FACT: white colored skinned people were slaved as well. I guess people are way too afraid to think. IDK. Black people say the word NIGGER EVERY SINGLE DAY. Why can't others?
OMFG Nancy Giles is a racist bitch, God forbid someone that is not black or African should use a word besides "HER PEOPLE" and "the Poor black woman" that called in for advise wtf???? us white people do not get offended when we are called honkies or anything, Maybe we should and start our own little Rant and say how unfair we are treated. NANCY GILES you have OFFICIALLY OFFENDED ME as a Caucasian male you have insalted us poor Caucasian white Americans Think i will get a hold of the NAACP,
hop off her fucking dick. let that bitch say whatever that fuck she wants to say. its that dumbass caller's fault. she shouldnt have brought up race. i hate black people they use that word to get special treatment. ugh i wish we could just call them the n word instead of african americans, or blacks. they are useless human beings!!!!!!!!!!!
@shanna1950 There is a Double standard when it comes to the nigger word, you hear it in Black movies, shows, Comedy routines, ect . BUT if a white person uses it and OMG call out the authorities that person offended me because he said nigger/ nigga in public around me and I was not the one that said it. Get off your damn high horse what she did and said she was not in the wrong. She was making a point and the caller was pissed because she even knows she had a Valid Point and did not want to see
Well, honestly, I think that, the guest of this show didn't do too much studying of Dr.Laura, she has received a PH.D in physiology and received further training in marriage counseling. Honestly, this seems more that she was saying that many black people do say the "N" word in this time, especially on HBO. I dont necessarily believe that she was saying that it was all right for anyone saying the "N" word.
It's 2011. Times are way different. It's a word that's meaning has been desensitized by television, music, and pretty much all media. Anyone who gets offended by the use of it is ridiculous. I'm white and have been called a honkey, cracker, boy, whiteboy, who gives a fuck. I stopped letting name calling hurt me in second grade. If your poor and ghetto it doesn't matter if your white, black, or mexican. White trash is the same as a nigger. Is N-word okay to say? We know you mean nigger anyway?
Dr. Laura's point was this" If black people continue to use the "n" word they are allowing non blacks the right to use it. NOWHERE did she say it was appropriate or that she agreed with it. You can't claim the word is hurtful to your race and then spout it a thousand times in your music and speech. Dr. LAura did nothing wrong and once again not all of the segment was aired. The media aired enough to get the ball rolling and Fat Cat Al Sharpton's panties in a bunch.
@gloriasaul what she did was wrong. Those of you who can't understand it, have never been discriminated against or oppressed. She was slick with her words and intended to say the N-Word several times, hoping to get a pardon by mentioning HBO. It is an offensive word that is intentionally meant to hurt someone, and was created with the intention of dehumanizing someone of darker skin. Maybe its me but Dr. Laura seems like she didn't like the fact that she was a black woman married to a white man
@gloriasaul First of all dumm ass if you was beatin up,killed,enslaved,degraded and harrased by white people and called nigger you wouldn't be so happy about white people using it either.Black folks have been called nigger and degraded by white folks for 400 or more years that they start acting like and calling themselves nigger .When white folks all over the world are the true niggers.Killing,stealing from ,and opressing Indians,Blacks,Mexican,Japanese,and all other races.Apartheid,Jim crow law
@gloriasaul you're doing the same thing as Dr Laura; seeing all black people as one gigantic collective. You didn't start off your sentence with "if some black people", you just said "black people". We are different you know. Didn't you hear Rebecca Jarvis in this interview state that she didn't use the word because it has bad connotations? I'm black and I don't use it, not do any black people I know. Nor do I listen to the type of music it's contained in, so I can claim its hurtful to my race.
secondly, there isn't a "burning desire" to say it, she was asking why is it black people can say it, but it's a racial offense if a white person says it, even if it's in the same context. and the philosophical point being made was the statement above 'Why is it ok for a black person to call each other "my nigger" but it's not ok for white people to do the same" and she said it 7 times in her radio cast btw did you even listen to it or are you just going off news reports and what people say?
as far as Ms.Giles goes, You are the sole definition of a tool... seriously.... you asked all the dumbest questions and said the stupidest remarks. first the "nigger has all ways been associated with negativity" thing, like 'cool' has all ways been associated with temp right? words only mean what people allow them to mean, if I walk up to a black person and call a nigger, that's obviously a racial remark, if I walks up slap hands and dap saying Sup my (racial slag for nigger here) it's friendly
this would have to be one of the most retarded things ever. Every one acts like her opening line was "Listen here nigger bitch!" sure the word is distasteful a least but she wasn't even directing it at any one, she simply stated that a lot of black comedians use the word a lot. honestly it was distasteful of her to use the word and she could have said her philosophical point with out it.
I understand the argument against the use of the word. However, she assumed ppl who use the word to minimize its effects don't reap the benefits, but she never offered any support on this issue. Gays have been successful in owning the word for themselves, so this contradicts her point. Similarly, why are Afro Americans still eating chitterlings, which were slop given to slaves??? Society doesn't make it any easier, nevertheless, there is a general problem with letting go of that era.
This is so simple its scary: Any race can use a degrading word/term that is unfortunately asscoiated with their particular race when referring to themselves or members of there race. It may not be right but that's just the way it is.
I DO NOT like Dr. Laura. My mom used to make me listen to her on the way to school in the morning. BUT, I completely agree with where she's coming from in this aspect. I believe that if it is not ok for white people to say, it's not ok for black people to say. I don't understand the double-standard. Many people say theres a difference in "er" and "a" at the end. So which one is ok for everyone to use? "That's only for black people to use" is not a valid argument.
Also, the woman being interviewed above really riled me up. She sounds ridiculous!! I don't think she should belittle Laura saying that she was completely wrong because she really isn't after all. Also, if she thinks Laura needs to watch "Eyes on the Prize," then shouldn't everyone who uses that word watch it as well.That's like Immigrants having to know American history, when born-Americans don't
And ANOTHER THING.... "poor black woman" the only person i think is belittling anyone, it's her!!!
I don't think it matters who you are, it shouldn't be said. I understand where she's coming from because the double standard is wrong, but that doesn't mean that you should just say it, just to try to prove that you can say it; however, I do not agree with what she said about marrying outside of your race. I don't think that was right. Also, that caller was wrong, too. If the n-word did bother her, she shouldn't have used it... and instead proved Laura's point of the double standard.
That black woman got on my nerves.If you pay attention to what Dr.Laura was saying you'll agree.If she would have used the term the "N" word,would people have been out raged?I'm half black,I wasn't raised to be a pussy and let words offend me.If some one calls me a nigger,I would get a good laugh out of it to be totally honest.Why let words have a n effect on you.They always say it has to do with slavery and racism back in the day.How many blacks today were slaves...Exactly,case & point.
@SteamEqualsFAIL I understand that and I agree, but to be honest... that word has always bothered me because the only reason why someone would say that is to hurt someone. I feel that saying it is in no way endearing and I think that's why it bothers me so much-- because you can't talk around it and say that it was a compliment or that you didn't mean it in a bad way.
@Theguardgirl10 My point is,people shouldn't allow words to hurt them.People sometimes take words and try to give them a new meaning,to me that's ridiculous.If some one says nigga or nigger on the regular...Chances are,they're dumb niggers.I a know white people that happen to be niggers.The term may have put down a certain ethnic group,but it shouldn't be limited to just one.I don't hate any specific ethnicity.I dislike most people,I don't time to divide them.
I think Dr. L raises a very valid point. I similar discussion was had on The Veiw; where Whooppi said ity was ok for blacks to use that term but not for whites. I am sorry, but if one wants to end the discrimination then the n word should be off limits for all.
she can't say it but my question is "What is the burning desire for you guys to call each other the N-word all the time? " If it is so demeaning then why do you call each other that word? Help me understand that one. Rappers make MILLIONS off that word. What up with dat???? Fo Reaul.
@scolisa Not "you guys". Not everyone enjoys the word, whatever context it's trying to be used in and it's not fair. I think either everyone should be "allowed" to say it or no one at all and if everyone were "allowed" to say it, for what reason would you have to use it? It's connotation is completely negative and for which it should be totally eradicated from daily speech.
And when I say everyone should be "allowed" to use it, I don't mean that anyone should...I was just trying to make a point.
Nigger used to mean linching etc...then it used to mean black trash, unemployed etc... now it is used in different ways, 1. as a way to show a close bond, ie. "my Nigger". 2, to show resilliance, ie. "me against the world." or "Hardcore Nigga". 3. if your a working stiff or slave, as is most everyone. ie: everyone is someone elses nigger.
Its the same as the word, Fuck. which is an adult word, that can be used in a good or bad connotation, and shared among familar situations, only.
This poor lady lives in some sort of closet. Who use the word nigger more in their everyday language at a drop of a hat? Blacks or whites?
Freeman has publicly criticized the celebration of Black History Month and does not participate in any related events, saying, "I don't want a black history month. Black history is American history."[14] He says the only way to end racism is to stop talking about it, and he notes that there is no "white history month"
There is a big difference between a nigger and a black man. A nigger wont work by all means. A nigger is in and out of jail. Wears his jeans down to his ass. Ass not clean because they dont shower often. Draws dirty too. Dreadlocks and fingernails are dirty. A nigger did not graduate high school. He smokes crack and cigs and drink hard alcohol. A nigger cant tie a tie. A black man wears a suit. Has a job. Well spoken. Educated. Family man. Treats people well. Loves life. Im a black man.
Niggers dont know what the hell is going on anyway. A lot of those low income niggers need to get off crack and get thier shit together. All those niggers do is smoke crack all night to 5am sleep in untill 3pm get and immediately start playing videos. They will _uck anything that walks. The crack dealers surprise me the most because they dont make real money their rocks are worth 20 bucks or less and if they get caught its big jail time. Not to mention many niggers die over crack. Im a black man
The black lady is an idiot. "Dr. Laura needs to sit down and watch the 6 part series about the civil war. Maybe then she will stop using the N word so much." Ok u stupid fat black bitch...this was an isolated incident and ur pinning it on her like she talks to her homies sayin nigga all the time. You think she doesnt know what happened during the civil war. That about 80% of every american history book is filled with civil war crap because black people just LIKE YOU cant let go of the past

What's with the term "African American"?? That bitch was never in Africa I bet. Stop this politically correct bullshit. Just because blacks are so fucking sensitive doesn't mean our country should be one huge pussy. When have you ever heard a news commentator use the term "Anglo-Saxon American"? NEVER. It's a double standard and it needs to fucking stop.
I am a black woman and I do not think Dr. Laura is a racist. If the "N" word is offensive to black people, it should be offensive all the time no matter who use it, including blacks. It is confusing to many when they see blacks using it to other blacks as terms of endearment??? Then get mad when they hear a non black use it???
It's time to be honest and fair I think about the use of the "N" word among blacks. I say don't use it all.
I'm a white twenty-something who was fortunately raised to love everyone, no matter what differences exist between us, because we should all learn to love the way Jesus Christ first loved and forgave us for imperfections and sins. Jesus told the Church to love one another and spread the news of salvation to everyone in the world; Saying nigger from one black to another is not fraternity; its enslavement to making excuses for hypocritical behavior.
@ettisen True, but Dr. Laura said a lot of other stupid things in that same rant. "Without much thought, a lot of blacks voted for Obama simply because he is black..." Yet there might be a double standard for her if I were to say that many whites voted for McCain simply because he is white. I find such comments offensive even though I myself am not black.
@ettisen becareful with that lol i can tell by how you worded this you are at a age of 29 and down nigga i dont care about only cause of my age i didnt grew up in that day of age but black people say nigga not nigger if my white friend said nigga i personally laugh he said nigger we got a problem nigger means ignorant person of color and black people use nigga and that goes back to slavery times and history on why we use to call our self that go and read but nigger thats not cool
Are you freaking kidding me? She's got it nailed. Don't tell me that 1/10,000,000 black people approve and that the other 9,999,999 don't... How many people do we have in America?
307,000,000!
Of that, there are only 38.1 million Black Americans, and possibly 7.5 million more that are mixed. (Mixed stats don't really break down in to who's what)
58% of that 38.1 million are counted as listeners of modern day Rap. Ex. LiL Wayne, Kanye West, Jay Z. Nancy Giles, self righteous Bitch.

Let's say your friend slept with your girlfriend. Now obviously you'd be infuriated. Now let's say you wanted to get over it and mend your friendship. Do you think it would be healthy for the rebuilding process to be paranoid about your friend doing it again? Would it be a good idea to constantly bring up the past about it and make him feel bad? No! So why do blacks think everything's gonna be fine if they keep blaming whites, wanting special treatment, and drawing attention to racial issues??
lmao. i'm white but ur comment cracked me up, that shit was funny. i think this whole argument is ridiculous. people are people, that is that - i jus wonder if the rest of the world is evr gonna realize lol
Stop reminiscing on the fucking past and linking the god damn word to slavery and the dehumanization of Blacks. Get a sense of fucking humor and stop being sensitive to a fucking word. IT'S JUST A WORD.
i dont get it words are just words i dont get why people get so offended by words if you are that sensitive that one word gets you that upset you should just stay in the house all day theres a lot more shit out in the world to be worried and upset about then one tiny word.
only way to deal with the "n" word and other racial words. is to deal with the roots. ALL the black people needs to stop using their N word. unless they do it, but the racial thing is obviously "how come it is okey for some to use the word, and others not so much. a white guy saying it = big news, a black man saying it = no news. THAT is the issue. the double standard is hating on white ppl saying the n word, and not hating on black ppl saying it... dont be stupid, learn from others misstakes.
@watevatube no b/c you were never opressed, you guys have always been the opresser, you've had a problem with anyone that didn't look like you...peckerwood!
I never opressed anyone,and I am not responsible for any ancestors actions..sorry buddy.
a racist comment is a racist... and Dr. Laura didn't use the Nword in a derogatory manner she was mearly making a point that you want to ignore.
and what is this "you guys have always been the opresser"? I'm not even white.. but again you don't care you just wanna assume thing and attack me......peckerwood!
If you want to end racism, just don't talk about it. Don't consider anyone a black/mexican/white/etc man or woman, and just consider them a person and judge them based on their indivuality. The arguement for this is pride for your race, which makes sense. But it should be more important for you to be recognized as an individual instead of saying "my people did this".
@MadamTechy Do you feel better now .....? I happen to love black people.
I'm quite sure all of us ...that includes you.... have used a slur or insensitive remark to or about another person. Does that make us all racist bigots. I think not. Just because someone uses poor judgement on the air, you castigate them as "racist". Grow up and get over it.
@Coryrr1 fyi, i am not a public figure head ... having pointed this out ... that laura chic is held to a higher standard ... i have never said nigger or any racist remark to taunt ... so you get over it.

She said Dr. Laura should watch "Eyes on the Prize" where the word is used, honestly all black youth should watch it and visit plantations to see get why it shouldn't be used.

I don't think one has to be a psychiatrist to come to the conclusion that whites who have no qualms with articulating the "N" Word all the way out as Dr. Laura did are racist at heart. EXAMPLE: Father Michael Pfleger, Pastor of St. Sabina's Perish in Chicago would simply say "The N Word". He has genuine respect for Black People. Schlessinger may not be a card carrying member of a White Hate Group, but clearly, she has zero respect for Black People in general.

@hexcane - I heard the entire clip. The Black Caller said that her husband ignores the racial comments and questions directed at her by his family and friends. She was calling Dr. Laura to get advice on how she can get him to see that it bothers her, but instead, Dr. Laura wanted to focus on the fact that SOME Black comedians and SOME members of the Black community use the word when referring to each other. The caller was having an issue with her husband not protecting her.
americanpatriot00 8 months ago
I think is was dumb for this black caller to ask a white person who has no type of significant connections or ties with the black community, or black people such a question. It's like, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT HER TO SAY? Of course she's going to think that the caller was being "hypersensitive". . This is tantamount to a white woman who's married to a black man asking Louis Farakkhan advice on how to deal with her husband's family and friend's questions on "White Exploitation" of other countries.

If you see two white people trying to act black and calling eachother "nigga", then they obviously think it's socially acceptable. Why? Because they're listening to rap/hiphop!

In the words of comedian David Cross (because I couldn't say it any better) "(The term African American)It's a ridiculous and ill-applied label that was accepted with a thoughtless rush just to make white people feel at ease and slightly noble."

Whats the burning desire?
Whats the burning desire with YOUR people, dipshit?
that is a disgusting word! Your people use it EVERY FUCKING DAY!
so as soon as a white person says it, decrepid, disgusting Al Sharpton gets involved, but i bet when he's talking to his black clients, "Whats up, nigga?" comes out of his mouth! This is just sad that blacks can use it & everyone turns their head. NOBODY SHOULD BE SAYING IT!!

@shanna1950 There is a Double standard when it comes to the nigger word, you hear it in Black movies, shows, Comedy routines, ect .

Get off your damn high horse what she did and said she was not in the wrong. She was making a point and the caller was pissed because she even knows she had a Valid Point and did not want to see

Well, honestly, I think that, the guest of this show didn't do too much studying of Dr.Laura, she has received a PH.D in physiology and received further training in marriage counseling. Honestly, this seems more that she was saying that many black people do say the "N" word in this time, especially on HBO. I dont necessarily believe that she was saying that it was all right for anyone saying the "N" word.
mystriddlery 1 year ago
It's 2011. Times are way different. It's a word that's meaning has been desensitized by television, music, and pretty much all media. Anyone who gets offended by the use of it is ridiculous. I'm white and have been called a honkey, cracker, boy, whiteboy, who gives a fuck. I stopped letting name calling hurt me in second grade. If your poor and ghetto it doesn't matter if your white, black, or mexican. White trash is the same as a nigger. Is N-word okay to say? We know you mean nigger anyway?
wvmusictoyourears 1 year ago
Dr. Laura's point was this" If black people continue to use the "n" word they are allowing non blacks the right to use it. NOWHERE did she say it was appropriate or that she agreed with it. You can't claim the word is hurtful to your race and then spout it a thousand times in your music and speech. Dr. LAura did nothing wrong and once again not all of the segment was aired. The media aired enough to get the ball rolling and Fat Cat Al Sharpton's panties in a bunch.

@gloriasaul what she did was wrong. Those of you who can't understand it, have never been discriminated against or oppressed. She was slick with her words and intended to say the N-Word several times, hoping to get a pardon by mentioning HBO. It is an offensive word that is intentionally meant to hurt someone, and was created with the intention of dehumanizing someone of darker skin. Maybe its me but Dr. Laura seems like she didn't like the fact that she was a black woman married to a white man

@gloriasaul you're doing the same thing as Dr Laura; seeing all black people as one gigantic collective. You didn't start off your sentence with "if some black people", you just said "black people". We are different you know. Didn't you hear Rebecca Jarvis in this interview state that she didn't use the word because it has bad connotations? I'm black and I don't use it, not do any black people I know. Nor do I listen to the type of music it's contained in, so I can claim its hurtful to my race.

secondly, there isn't a "burning desire" to say it, she was asking why is it black people can say it, but it's a racial offense if a white person says it, even if it's in the same context. and the philosophical point being made was the statement above 'Why is it ok for a black person to call each other "my nigger" but it's not ok for white people to do the same" and she said it 7 times in her radio cast btw did you even listen to it or are you just going off news reports and what people say?

as far as Ms.Giles goes, You are the sole definition of a tool... seriously.... you asked all the dumbest questions and said the stupidest remarks. first the "nigger has all ways been associated with negativity" thing, like 'cool' has all ways been associated with temp right? words only mean what people allow them to mean, if I walk up to a black person and call a nigger, that's obviously a racial remark, if I walks up slap hands and dap saying Sup my (racial slag for nigger here) it's friendly
Mimik186 1 year ago
this would have to be one of the most retarded things ever. Every one acts like her opening line was "Listen here nigger bitch!" sure the word is distasteful a least but she wasn't even directing it at any one, she simply stated that a lot of black comedians use the word a lot. honestly it was distasteful of her to use the word and she could have said her philosophical point with out it.
Mimik186 1 year ago
I understand the argument against the use of the word. However, she assumed ppl who use the word to minimize its effects don't reap the benefits, but she never offered any support on this issue. Gays have been successful in owning the word for themselves, so this contradicts her point. Similarly, why are Afro Americans still eating chitterlings, which were slop given to slaves??? Society doesn't make it any easier, nevertheless, there is a general problem with letting go of that era.

I DO NOT like Dr. Laura. My mom used to make me listen to her on the way to school in the morning. BUT, I completely agree with where she's coming from in this aspect. I believe that if it is not ok for white people to say, it's not ok for black people to say. I don't understand the double-standard. Many people say theres a difference in "er" and "a" at the end. So which one is ok for everyone to use? "That's only for black people to use" is not a valid argument.

Also, the woman being interviewed above really riled me up. She sounds ridiculous!! I don't think she should belittle Laura saying that she was completely wrong because she really isn't after all. Also, if she thinks Laura needs to watch "Eyes on the Prize," then shouldn't everyone who uses that word watch it as well.That's like Immigrants having to know American history, when born-Americans don't
And ANOTHER THING.... "poor black woman" the only person i think is belittling anyone, it's her!!!

I don't think it matters who you are, it shouldn't be said. I understand where she's coming from because the double standard is wrong, but that doesn't mean that you should just say it, just to try to prove that you can say it; however, I do not agree with what she said about marrying outside of your race. I don't think that was right. Also, that caller was wrong, too. If the n-word did bother her, she shouldn't have used it... and instead proved Laura's point of the double standard.

@SteamEqualsFAIL I understand that and I agree, but to be honest... that word has always bothered me because the only reason why someone would say that is to hurt someone.

@Theguardgirl10 My point is,people shouldn't allow words to hurt them.People sometimes take words and try to give them a new meaning,to me that's ridiculous.If some one says nigga or nigger on the regular...Chances are,they're dumb niggers.I a know white people that happen to be niggers.The term may have put down a certain ethnic group,but it shouldn't be limited to just one.I don't hate any specific ethnicity.I dislike most people,I don't time to divide them.

I think either everyone should be "allowed" to say it or no one at all and if everyone were "allowed" to say it, for what reason would you have to use it? It's connotation is completely negative and for which it should be totally eradicated from daily speech.
And when I say everyone should be "allowed" to use it, I don't mean that anyone should...I was just trying to make a point.

Nigger used to mean linching etc...then it used to mean black trash, unemployed etc... now it is used in different ways, 1. as a way to show a close bond, ie. "my Nigger". 2, to show resilliance, ie. "me against the world." or "Hardcore Nigga". 3. if your a working stiff or slave, as is most everyone. ie: everyone is someone elses nigger.
Its the same as the word, Fuck. which is an adult word, that can be used in a good or bad connotation, and shared among familar situations, only.

A nigger cant tie a tie. A black man wears a suit. Has a job. Well spoken. Educated. Family man. Treats people well. Loves life. Im a black man.

If you want to end racism, just don't talk about it. Don't consider anyone a black/mexican/white/etc man or woman, and just consider them a person and judge them based on their indivuality. The arguement for this is pride for your race, which makes sense. But it should be more important for you to be recognized as an individual instead of saying "my people did this".
