I swear, some people are more in love with Al & Jesse than they could ever claim a black person was. When will some of you all get (and READ) the memo that "they don't represent/speak for the entire black race"!
The majority of Blacks didn't get or read the memo. Doing nothing implies consent. Until Al & Jesse are challenged, they will be perceived as speaking for the majority.
Until Blacks, Whites, the media, Hollywood, the NAACP, etc., stop vilifying Blacks with differing views as Uncle Toms, Blacks will be perceived as sharing one brain.
have you ever considered addressing this question to the OP?
Though I feel Dr. L's use of n*gger was distasteful, I don't believe, in that instance, it was racist. It would have been wiser if she had simply said "the n word" versus saying n*gger what seemed like 1000 times. The overkill kind of left a bad taste in my mouth..............................
Where's your outrage at the double standard in the word f*g?
What about d*gos?
Why are you so hung up on the "double-standard" about the "n" word? You do know that almost every other race/nationality have sayings that are cool for "insiders" to use but fighting words if uttered by "others", right? Blacks don't have a monopoly on this sort of thing..........get over it.
For almost every group I can think of epithets are humerus relics from our racist past because what they are supposed to represent ("drunken mics" in my case) is far removed from the reality of what they have contributed to the nation and everyone knows it. So to say any other group has an issue with others using epithets in an objective sense is altogether wrong. Only blacks wear their race on their sleeve ( ChocLot ) and whine about an unspeakable word. The issue isn't a word. The issue is black dysfunction and the need blacks have to blame whites for poor decisions made by blacks so as to escape the consequences of those poor decisions.

If you want this perception changed, prove it.
You're generalizing. Why is it necessary to stand up for each and every thing Al, Jesse, the NAACP, etc does? I don't care enough about some of these antics to get all outraged. The most I can do sometimes is shake my head about the insanity. Anyone who believes Al & Jesse speaks for the majority, are people who want an excuse to buy into the stereotypical black person.

How did you make this connection? So because I don't want a white person to call me a n*gger, I am somehow perpetuating "black dysfunction" (whatever that is.........btw, what is "black dysfunction..as opposed to "white dysfunction, of course).

Are we a bunch of five year-olds who are forbidden to say certain words like the f-word and the c-word?
The hyphenated form of this word exists to absolve blacks of all responsibility for their own dysfunction. After all, how can blacks be responsible for their own actions when whites are calling them an unspeakable racial epithet?
