Ruling on the N word. Case closed

[cantthinkofanything]

Spokeswoman for African-Americans, Sherri Shepherd, has ruled on proper use of the N word. I think we can consider the matter closed.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/03/view_co-host_approves_of_whoopi_using_the_n-word_not_walters.html

In the 'Hot Topics' segment on "The View" this morning, the ladies discussed a Washington Post story about a rock with the word "######head" written on it at the gated entrance of a hunting camp leased and frequented by Rick Perry and his father.

Host Barbara Walters used the n-word while explaining the story, causing co-host Sherri Shepherd to take offense. Shepherd says she didn't like the way Barbara Walters said it. However, Shepherd was okay with Whoopi Goldberg, the main host of "The View," using it. Shepherd explained herself:

"When I heard you (Whoopi) say it, it was fine. You said it a different way. When I heard you (Barbara) say it, I didn't like the way you said it. Because when you say it, you say [inaudible]. And I don't like [inaudible]," Shepherd said.

This left Barbara Walters confused and wanted to know the proper way to say the n-word. However, Shepherd told Walters there is no right way for her to say it.

Walters said the n-word once in the segment while Whoopi Goldberg used the word nearly a dozen times.

I'm all for closing these cases.

Now all we need is for the IPCCC to give us their political... I mean scientific consensus on the word.

:lmao that stupid fat bitch was a baby when the civil rights movement was going on. get the fuck outta here with "when white people say it, it stirs up emotions that you just couldn't understand :cry"

[Creepn]

Def. a double standard. She's one of those people who thinks that all white people are secretive racists in nature.Very stupid.

Secretive? lol.. Hardly.

[Wild Cobra]

What is this racist attitude that white people aren't good enough to say ######?

[cantthinkofanything]

not to mention, she plays a pretty stereotypical black woman on 30 Rock.

"When I heard you (Whoopi) say it, it was fine. You said it a different way. When I heard you (Barbara) say it, I didn't like the way you said it."

Is this a race thing or is she just mocking Barbara Walters speech impediment?

No kidding. I hope it's the fact Barbara talks a little funny rather than her skin color.

[DAF86]

I lol everytime I hear or see "the N word" written.

:lol Sherri Shepherd is predudice.

It would have been funny as hell if Barbara then would have said it in a big black voice.

[LnGrrrR]

Barbara should have tried her best "Yessum massa" voice there.

I remember being at a house party and there was a circle of people "freestyle rapping" on one side of the room. I was at the table pouring a drank and this drunk white dude comes up to me and asks me if I mind if he says the N-word in one of his raps. I was like :

He was like, "I'm not racist, bro. I just want to use it in a rhyme." I told him it wouldn't be wise to say it. I didn't know many people there and I wasn't going to be responsible for him getting his ass whooped.

Sons as a zebra I can tell you that black people talk out of both sides of their mouth more than anyone else. They are by far more racist (especially towards Asians) and are extremely homophobic.

Have they persecuted you for your homosexual lifestyle?

We need more race related threads.

I'm sure BRHornet looks something like this:

Finally racism is over.

[Leetonidas]

Spokeswoman for African-Americans,

:lmao get the fuck out of here

[m>s]

its an offensive slur only when you put together the exact 6 letters and use it as one single word

[m>s]

another example the word "ass" when used by itself is a bad one and is never used in mainstream but some combined words such as "jackass" and "badass" are fine and have been used in mainstream talkshows.

[BlackSwordsMan]

This stupid bitch thought the world was flat

I like this comment from Shephard...

“There is a picture of me with Shirley Caesar, who is like the black Patti LaBelle,” bragged Shepherd.
