From Dr. Laura's (Schlessinger) radio show, yesterday, regarding the use of the word "nigger":
Caller: It’s OK to say that word? Dr. Laura: It depends how it’s said. Caller: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word? Dr. Laura: It’s — it depends how it’s said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it’s OK. Caller: But you’re not black. They’re not black. My husband is white. Dr. Laura: Oh, I see. So, a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can’t do much about that.
Can't handle the truth? On NPR, John Ridly said it was OK for blacks to use the word "nigger" because of a "history" of slavery & Jim Crow. Huh?
When asked the same question that Dr. Laura was asked by a listener, Ridley responds that it's OK for black people to use the word because of the history of slavery and Jim Crow laws.
Know anyone that has been in slavery? Can President Obama use the word "nigger"? Not by this criteria since his ancestors weren't here for any of that.
