Dr. Laura's "N word" Rant

[Defiant1]

So what are all the ******* saying about this?

Oprah wants to mud wrestle dr. Laura. Ain't no skinny honky gonna use that word as long as Oprah has breath in her lungs.

Hey how come there are no black emoticons.

If it wasn't for a white man, Steve Dahl, Oprah would still be a second class hooker on Maxwell St.

FULL AUDIO: Dr. Laura Schlessinger's N-word rant | Media Matters for America

Mebbe Dr. Laura is being poisoned by the same guy who gave Tourette's to Robert Gibbs and Keith Halloran?

Is it Talk Like An Idiot Week and nobody told me?

She did nothing wrong. She is far wiser than her caller. She should not have apologized, but I suppose she had to to put it to bed, so to speak. I think the caller probably worked for Media Matters.

If we can't have a discussion like the one Dr Laura was trying to have, and in the way she was trying to have it, honestly, we're doomed as far as "racialism" is concerned.

Either you are joking or you are a troll. Either way, that was a funny post.

No, but you have to be sooper hypersensitive to have a tizzy about Dr L pointing out the word ****** gets tossed around by blacks quite often.

My assessment of the caller is she hates being black so she married a white guy to lighten up her self image and what pisses her off is that people remind her she is black by asking "how do blacks do X?"

so her husband must hate being white to be married to a black woman? is that your position?

i think her husband needs to figure out why he's treating his wife that way and allowing others to treat her that way.

If the wife doesn't like white people she shouldn't have married one.

Maybe when her husband's friends come over she should stay in her room.

See above.

Step you can call black people ****** all you want.

No one is stopping you.

Its just shows you are a racist if you do.

Its not against the law to be racist.

True, but your lucky that being stupid isn't illegal.

Why would having you in jail bother me?

record yourself talking Truth....then play it back....you will see whom he is referring too.....

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

I'm beginning to think Dr. Laura premeditated the whole thing for publicity.

Maybe she ain't so dumb afterall.

Hey, I thought asses weren't allowed on avatars? How much did it cost you?

 

[Harry Dresden]

It is not racist to call a white person a monkey.

It is racist to call a black person a monkey.

The reason this is the case is because of history.

why?....were black people monkeys at one time?.....

 

[Harry Dresden]

We live in a country that has a long history of discriminating against and downgrading blacks. If this weren't so, there never would have been a word "******". People who broke into your house in the middle of the night and dragged you out and hung you called you "******"

If blacks choose to use the word as a way of empowering themselves and taking away the sting of the word "******" they are entitled to.

However, if one of the oppressor group chooses to use the word it is disrespectful and degrading.

so is it the same when they call you white guys "HONKY?".....or are they allowed to do that?....

 

[Harry Dresden]

You are judged on everything you say or write.If people are offended and refuse to deal with you, you do not get to claim "Free Speech"

kinda like some of them so-called "entertainers" who bitch and moan about how people react to what they say.....

 

[Madeline]

No, "honky" has never had the same hate and fear behind it.

Why are you asking these questions, Harry Dresden? Are you unschooled in American history?

 

[Harry Dresden]

So you believe that white people calling black people "*******" brings us closer?

well you know what Rw....when a black tells you your a fucking piece of shit for saying "******".....and then turns around and greets his bro with"Hey ******....Wat up".....that dont exactly move people closer does it?....

 

[Rinata]

So, do you suppose if, say, Bill Maher called Dr. Laura a stupid **** on his show, that the conservative consensus would have been, hey, no big deal?

omg, now it's change the subject into what is wasn't to begin with.

I thought the subject was certain words that certain people are offended by.

Shouldn't we be able to call you women '*****' in everyday conversation? Wouldn't that make the world a better place? Isn't any woman being offended by being called that name

'hypersensitive'?

That's exactly what my husband said. Both of these words are extremely offensive. I don't care who uses them or why. The "C" word is just as bad as the "N" word. So disrespectful.

 

[Madeline]

If you are white and say the n word to someone who is black, it is heard as aggressive, threatening and insulting. Therefore, reasonable people don't use it.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I will explain to you whites why blacks find it so offensive when White people use the word "******".
When the word ****** is used by a white person, it throws the black persons mind in a time warp
back to the time of slavery, and the white person using the word automatically appears as a slave master, or slave owner.

This is why blacks get so enraged when whites use the word "******". So , if I were I white person I would never say the word "******" in the presence of any Black person.

This also explains why the Connecticut gun man went off and killed 8 white co-workers. The word "******", sets off a lot of emotions in the minds of Blacks, that can get a White person Killed!!

so what the fuck are you saying?.....that black people who have NEVER experienced slavery,and in this country anyway,are living better than blacks have ever lived in the history of this planet.....cant handle the word ******?....that they might go off and kill some people?......BULLSHIT.....a black who does that is no different than any other person of any race who goes crazy for a few minutes and kills some one....a sane intelligent black person would never let a WORD bring them to such extreme measures....

 

[Rinata]

I listened closely to what went down here. The caller was asking her for advice because she was black and was married to a white guy who's friends threw around that word...

This "DR's" advice was to get a sense of humor (about the "N" word?) and to not interracially marry. There is no defense for any of that.

Look, her saying blacks say it in rap all the time is true...its an old thing that goes back and forth. I am not concentrating on that. Blacks say that to blacks, Asians say things to Asians as well. Same with Italians etc.

She is not a member of any of those groups. She seems to be offended because she cant use a word? Why would she want to anyway? Eh...forget that part, stick on her saying this woman should lighten up because someone said it in front of her or who she can marry. Oh and dont NAACP me? Damn.

Fuck that.

That's what I left out of my post!!! I knew there was one more thing she said that was totally obnoxious. I couldn't remember what it was. She said every single thing she needed to say to let us know she is an out and out racist!!!

Damn!!! Some people need you to draw them a friggin' picture!!! It's so obvious what she is.

 

[Rinata]

So, do you suppose if, say, Bill Maher called Dr. Laura a stupid **** on his show, that the conservative consensus would have been, hey, no big deal?

What are you talking about?

That figures.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Are those pictures of Laura still on the internet? The ones where she's naked and her legs are spread?

so are you going to make fun of her twat now?.....what does that have to do with what she said?....

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

are white people @ USMB still arguing about not being able to freely call blacks '******' without consequence?




how pathetic is that?

 

[Rinata]

Me and my white friends call each other ******* all the time, and nobody gets mad, we always laugh.

Well, gee. Aren't you all special???

i look at it as i have every right to say whatever i want to about my family.

but if someone else were to insult my family, i would be offended. if mel gibson calls someone a honky, don't be offended.

also, i don't think they *should* use the word with each other because i think it demands them. however, i think it's important to understand that they started using it with each other to take it away from white people.

if i call a jewish friend a JAP, it's funny. if someone who doesn't know me were to call me a JAP, I'd be offended and think that person wasn't any friend of jews... minimally, i'd see them as stereotyping.

why is it so difficult for some people to acknowledge the distinctions. It confuses me. It seems that it should just be common sense.

fwiw, if oprah called someone a honky, i vote that it's ok to be offended.

dr laura is a moron under the best of circumstances. and interestingly, the part of her rant that we didn't hear was even more offensive...
