This is why people claim that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Norman Lear was the creator of All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Good Times and The Jeffersons.

Norman Lear Leads N-Word Chant in Podcast

The Carmichael Show's Jerrod Carmichael visited Norman Lear's new podcast "All of the Above" this week and talked about how he plans to incorporate the n-word into his network sitcom.

...
"Wouldn’t it be better if the word...was available?" said Lear. "Making it the worst thing that could ever happen, so that nobody can say anything but the ‘n-word’ — isn’t that a curse on the word and communication?"

...
Lear said he'd like one of them to use the n-word in the next three minutes. He counted down and then all three men simultaneously said the word.

"By the way, that may be one of the greatest moments of my life," said Carmichael. "I think we’ve done so much for race relations in that moment."


This is deplorable to me. White people (or any people for me) using that term improves race relations according to them. Good luck with that.

We do have to get past Political Correctness. Or we will never be able to communicate honestly. When communication breaks down, a war is in the mist.
You cannot hit me for what I say. Use the most powerful weapon you own, to hit back. Your brain.

White comedians have used the n-word in the past and have been raked over the coals. Do you think he is helping race relations?

From the days of Archie Bunker and Blazing Saddles to the humorless PC of today ? ... lets face it racists and bigots are funny.
Archie "Yes I know Jesus was a Jew but only on his mother side " that is funny
Archie "I ain't going to break no bread with no jungle bunny" to which George Jefferson says "I never been in no honky's house before" that is where Archie met his match.
As Rodney King said why can't we all just get along ...

"The sheriff is a ****** !"
"What did he say?"
"He said 'the sheriff is nearer."

Or from The Jerk:

"The ******s, we'll keep 'em out."

"Sir! You are talking to a ****** !"

Yeah, but we don't live inside of a Blazing Saddles movie.

There is honesty, and then there is a lack of decency. How is using the "N" word helpful for "honest communication"? Want honest communication? Don't lie. How is not using racial slurs a breakdown in communication?

There is no SNL skit funnier than this one between Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor. If your liberal senses cannot see the humor in it, I feel bad for you!
