3 or 4 years ago, I thought Elizabeth was a stand-up conservative, with some honest character in her. NO MORE! - She has acquiesced (complied with) along with the rest of the disgusting panel. They presume they are the 'policy' makers for us more ignorant pawns...who need their help to comprehend the important issues in America. - All these woman, and that show, are a destructive influence on everyone who listens to them!!
I agree with you...it is all about the "know what's best for everyone" attitude now...That's why Oprah has always seemed like a disgusting person to me...where's the background for her opinions?

I just stick to documentaries,educational and history shows anymore for the most part....a TV is just more silent furniture in my house otherwise.
To much potatoes and zero meat anymore in the media.

THAT, and 'they' know they have a 'platform' of millions who feed off their garbage ideas.

Most of all, I believe...no doubt, they have an Agenda. It's to 'brainwash' you! >> AMERICA

It is one word folks and should have the same meaning no matter who says it. Not no freaking right way for the blacks, and when whites say it wrong. Come on, it means the same thing. This crap with how words are interpeted has got to stop. It is nonesense.

And why is it acceptable for blacks to say the N word, and no one else, do they have a Patent on the N word!

A stupid show for old ladies to watch before trotting down to the grocery store to buy the most recent copy of the national enquirer.

The ultimate Hypocrisy, isn't it. And 'racist' blacks will continue to use the controversy regarding the word like a baseball bat, to manipulate Whites, if they keep being weak, and taking it.

What? She says the word to well?? What the hell kind of stupidity is that. Good God.

Every time this subject arises I find myself wondering just why it is that some white folks are so angry that they can't use this word? Why are they so jealous of the freedom of blacks to use a particular word that is not acceptable for their use? Just what is it that you think you are missing out on? I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone growing up in the U.S. would not know the history of this word and its usage and be able to understand why, coming from a white person, it would hold an entire different feeling and meaning than it would coming from a black person. So just why is it you are so anxious to be able to use it? Could it be because you DO understand it?
