Video Response to Whoopi Goldberg makes Elisabeth Hasselbeck cry

What gives Elizabeth Hasselhoffbeckenheffer the right to say black people can't use the N word? Look toots, when Whoopie says your living in 2 different worlds... trust her. You'll never go through the hell she's been through. You probably are daddys spoiled little girl. Whoopie has had to work hard and faces racism daily. Do you? This is my comments on the episode where they were arguing about the word.

whoa... sorry if this is off topic, but I must say that in the minimized preview pic (for this vid), you resemble Star Trek Voyager's Robert Beltran (Commander Chakotay).

@rkmugen lol.. fascinating observation

One more thing...no one can tell anybody what they can and can't say. But they tell people not to call them certain things like the N-Word, or the B-word or the F-word. I know black and white people who use the word comfortably based on how well they know someone but they know I don't like the word, no matter who it comes from, and not to call me by it. But I don't have the right to tell them they shouldn't use the word no matter how much I disagree with. So you're on point!

Plankboi...thanks for posting your video. One thing you said that resonates is CHOICE...there are white people who still choose to use the word negatively, whether they do it in their homes or amongst themselves, and there are black people who reject the word no matter who it comes from and there are black people who use it for various meanings rather affectionately, jokingly or to even be insulting. Bottom line people have free speech but should use caution, especially with the N-Word.

someimes you got to take an offensive word and make it your own, it's almost like 'fighting' back. like ike gay people calling each other fag and queer

Of course everyone has opinions and i sense what you mean. But i do feel that keeping a word exclusively for a "categorized group" of people promotes racism. By categorized group of people i mean; men, women, kids, teens, gay, lesbian, black, old,... u know.
