I wish you guys would *give it up* about blacks using the "n" word. Seriously can't believe that people are so dense that they don't get the distinction. It shouldn't be used by anyone, however just accept that it's ALWAYS a problem when non-Blacks use it. Geez!
No intelligent black person with any respect for their history would use it either.
If anyone calls me that name be they white or black they will shortly realize that they have stepped in it!!
Yes, I do understand the context that some blacks use the word in, yet that is nothing more than one more psychological crutch that we as black people need to get rid of, that word was used by dirty ignorant racists and now it's used by dirty ignorant black people!!

A disabilities legal advocate who happened to be listening today sends in this report:
A mother calls Dr. Laura for an answer to one question, "Should I go to my father's birthday party?" Her "moral dilemma" was that her husband did not think they should go anywhere they could not take their child with autism.
Her answer is, "Yes." "Buy yourself a nice dress, and have a nice time at dinner tomorrow night, maybe one of the few nice times you've had at dinner in 8 years. And that's fair." Her answer was also "There's nowhere you can take this kid. There is no place." Then incredibly, Dr. Laura recommends that mother should just put her kid in an institution so she can spend more time with the rest of the family. Subject: Dr. Laura Advises Mom to Dump her Autistic - Wrightslaw
So let's analyze this....
Palin considers herself an advocate for challenged kids and their moms as she carried her Downs Syndrome child around as a prop...but now she comes to the defense of the woman who tells a mom of a challenged child to dump the kid. Hmm...
Dr. Laura's insensitviity borders on sociopathic and Palin realtes to this woman. Makes sense.
Idiot Palin tells Dr. Laura to "reload". What the hell does that mean anyway? Is Palin in moose hunting mode? BTW, Frau Palin...as much as Dr. Laura has the right to insult people and display frigid insensitivity, people have the right to call her out on it. That goes for you too, you numbskull. Never saw an attention getting non-cause that didn't bring you out of the woodwork, have you?
I find it interesting that in the course of a conversation about the n word the first person to pop into Dr. Laura's head is President Obama. Freudian slip?

Actually I disagree. Everybody should be free to use the "N' word freely.
Why?
It would tell other people EXACTLY how that person stood on the issue of racial prejudice and racial sensitivity. Right now a lot of people are racist but hide their racism in a vareity of ways. If a White person is using the "N" word to derisively with regard to Black people you know EXACTLY how that person feels. Then you can respond accordingly based on if you agree with that person's views or not. Racism is like a disease. Like any disease it has to be exposed and and dealt with before it is eliminated.
I can't say I'm surprised that Dr. Laura used the "N" word. The few times I listened to her, because it was the only station I could get clearly in the car, I would shake my head in amazement that this woman was giving advice that was so ridiculous and surreal, I laughed out loud. She is one of the most egotiscal hypocritical "psychologists" I have ever heard. Thank goodness she's retiring so she can't screw up anyone else's life.
