Elizabeth cries over Whopi's different View of the World

Why does the N word still hold power when used by a WHITE as opposed to a black?
Call me a beaner, I will laugh, and say damn right, a greaser, a wop, bring it on!!
The insistance to hold separate oneself, as Whopi does here, and the world of existance is alienating, and has caused me to drop friends. Like I as a girl never experienced unkindness, and scorn, next to my very native american looking mother, which we had talked about. There were places later in life in the south we could not stop we were too brown.
As I've gotten older I have also seen my very blonde friend experience discrimnations on multiple occasions as well.
I don't think black people understand how selfish they appear to the world. How one sided and victimized they view their experience. It is time for maturity, and growth. We are all discriminated against, it is how WE react and compose ourselves. Only then will justice and dignity be given to oneself. Enough is enough. Saying your experience is separate from mine is just untrue. I do not trust another one of my 'race' just because, he/she understands, that would be idiotic. Maybe this would be the first freedom for black people to understand that not all experience with black skin is the same.
It is funny Whoppi, my Grandmother, 82 now, in the place of her birth, was also prevented from voting, by the Republicans.
Strange that the Democrats are using these 'tricks' to get justice for your family injustice, at our nations expense? Different worlds or the same?

I don't think Elizabeth is trying to deny the past and what black people went through...she just doesn't understand. Elizabeth is (although a delusional conservative) very progressive on racial issues. On this issue I think she just should have listened. She's always been a white, middle class, northerner from a different generation, and there's a whole world outside of that.

Folks.... The fact is the civil rights movement and the removal of "Jim Crow" laws was relatively "recent" in time. Yes, there is discrimination in many things. However, there are things that some people are unable to let go. Alot of the pain, and resentment is still below the surface. Until you have experienced negative treatment based on a preconceived notion or stereotype, then you will be able to understand that reality. We've improved, but it will time for these issues to be obsolete!
