Regardless of where you fall on this heated View discussion about this week’s ubiquitous Fox News/Jesse Jackson/the ‘N-word’ debate (hat tip to Cover Awards),I think we can all agree (or at least those of us who could sit throughthe entire six minutes) that it’s a terrible thing when Barbara Waltersdoesn’t get to hear herself talk. No wonder she uses a wave of the handand a roll of the eye to bring the whole debate to a screeching halt!

“Be quiet subjects! I Baba WaWa your Queen, wish to share yet another pearl of Wisdom”!
In a discussion about the n-word it is Elizabeth who cries? She is so high maintenance!
We should just do like Denzel in American Gangster and go back to saying “Negro” vs. N***ger…OKAY? That would solve that problem.
I want to know why she got so emotional over a word she shouldn’t be saying? She looks really ignorant and ridiculous.
Hahahahaha: Viewhaha!! That rocks, Annie!
Girlfriend is sheltered.
What the hell else is on that Fox “hot mic” tape? Did Jesse Jackson admit to kidnapping the Lindbergh baby? Does he admit to being on the grassy knoll at Dallas? Did he actually engineer the “election” of George Bush? Anyway, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is Baba’s Frankenstein monster. If she can bring it to life, can’t she put it(us) ) out of misery?
Jessie Jackson is an example of dem’s putting Barack up on the cross. But is he going to make his way off of it again? Barack can be mocked, the comedy site 23/6 does it consistently and well. Check it out, in the cartoon “A detailed analysis of Obama’s failures in Cartoon Form” – http://www.236.com/blog/w/lee_camp/a_detailed_analysis_of_obamas_2_7767.php
I am one who thinks that this word should not be used AT ALL. I as a black male find this word degrading in all aspects, from my own race and from other races as well.
I hate Barbara Walters. She constantly sounds ridiculous and asks the worsts questions when they have a guest I like on the View. So whenever she doesn’t get to talk (or is absent completely), it’s fine with me!
I don’t like “the n word”, but I, as a white woman, do accept the fact that the world I live in is a different one from Whoopi’s or anyone else that is not a white woman- and even then, there are major differences. Elisabeth is just showing how sheltered she is, because I believe her that she really does think the world is the same for everyone. I am not that naive.
Joy Behar wins.
The thing that bothers me about Elisabeth is that she shows more and more that what she thinks is the most important thing in the world and will not listen to what ANYONE says to her. She just does not get “it”. Well, really anything. I don’t like the “n” word, but I am not going to question if it’s part of someone else’s culture.
Now this email “Proud to be White” in full.
Here is one to sink your teeth into. This is so true in our American Society. It makes you squirm, but illustrates how far political correct behavior has come.
Proud To Be White
Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.
…..And then there are just – Americans.
Some pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
They Call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman,’
…..And that’s OK.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
They have the United Negro College Fund.
They have Hispanic History Month.
They have Martin Luther King Day.
They have Asian History Month.
They have Black History Month.
They have Cesar Chavez Day.
They have Ma’uled Al-Nabi.
They have Yom Hashoah.
They have Kawanza.
They have the NAACP.
If we had WE
Every time someone says that word it breathes life into it. If everyone would stop saying it,it would die.
