Dr. Laura says the N word

I don't mind the n-word so much.

I am tired of Shorty being in every song now.

Seriously, so the First Amendment doesn't apply to black folks using the n-word in an ironic fashion?

 

The government is not trying to stop them from using it.

Therefore, no First Amendment issue.

 

Rats. Did I say First Amendment? I meant Title IX.

 

The idea that "Dr." Laura knows any black people well enough to ask is comedy gold in and of itself. Unless maybe she asked her maid.

 

I seem to remember a rather famous black comedian saying once Live On Sunset Strip that he'd never use that word toward another black man, again. Wish there were more out there like him.

 

Saying, "Black people say it, too!" is about the world's lamest justification for being offensive.

They're wrong, too.

And what does it have to do with this one black woman, who for all "Dr." Laura knows is equally offended by "black comedians."

But she's not married to one.

I can't believe it's beyond "Dr." Laura's comprehension to understand that someone in a mixed race marriage might feel uncomfortable at times. The way she jumped on this woman, someone she's never met, never will meet, and judged her in about three seconds, and was so angered to launch into that kind of tirade, simply shameful.

Go away, Ms. Schlesinger.

She is not a doctor. She has a PhD.

 

Playing the victim card, as that ilk has raised to an art form.

 

I can't stand her either but, if she has a doctorate, she is entitled to be referred to as a doctor.

 

Good one.

 

"The reason is I want to regain my First Amendment rights."

She has her First Amendment rights.

Nobody in the government is trying to stop her from using the N-word. She can hold a sign up on Times Square with it scrawled in crayon if she wants.

This is the Sarah Palin version of the First Amendment, where media criticism equals taking away her First Amendment rights.
