In defense of Dr. Laura Schlessinger and all Adult thinking people in America
I received a phone call from a Black friend who knows that I write this blog. He wanted to alert me of Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s most recent travail with the archaic notion of freedom of speech in America.
According to my friend, Dr. Laura said the word Nigger. After a lingering pause, my friend obviously waiting for my response, I said half jokingly, “…and then she killed someone?” but to my friend this was no laughing matter. So I asked, did Dr. Laura call someone a Nigger or did she simply say the word? He said that he didn’t hear it himself he just heard Al Sharpen talking about it on CNN. “You can turn to it and see yourself,” he said.
I told him that a T.V. wasn’t available to me right at the moment but I would look into it and get back to him. He said, “You’re good at researching on the net I’m sure you can find it.” First, I assured him that Dr. Laura is a good person and a consummate professional. I said that I’m sure that this was a complete misunderstanding. I thanked him for the “heads-up” and then we hung up.
I did query the subject. I think I put in Dr. Laura and the word “Nigger” and sure enough, the net was on fire with flames of condemnation, which were threatening to lap up the career of Dr. Laura.

What she said was correct, and then she made a sniveling, stumbling, foolish target of herself by showing how weak she is. I can’t imagine how she survives this at this point, but perhaps the race piranah will accept her apology, possibly in a manner similar to the way Shirley Sherrod’s was accepted...
What I would ask her is if you don’t mean something, then why say it in the first place?
N-Word Please !!
Vocabulary unused is soon lost. Page 670 of my 1942 Webster’s collegiate dictionary contains the said forbidden ‘N’ word. It was in really unused condition, the word not the dictionary, until an event took place in 2008 and subsequent events have only served to prove the point. Remaining comments self censored.
Words have both official and unofficial meanings. If the unofficial, contextual, meaning carries unacceptable meanings then the society needs to correct that by action not censorship.
We attempt to censor our children's use of certain words. How successful is that? Look at the current hits in the Rap Music world for that answer. Requiring the child to describe the sexual act in detail (the words meaning) frequently embarrasses them enough never to use it in your presence as a swear world (contextual meaning).
If you want to see where is act ends look no farther then Germany 1933-1945.
2 bucks for an “n”. Then I would like to sell a clue. Heck. I’d even give it away for free.
This post is right on the money. One of these days white people are going to get up off of their knees.
The better question is does self censorship do more destruction to the soul than resisting political correctness?
Think about it Frank.
And this race pimp is supposed to be an unbiased source?
The next thing you know, you won't be allowed to say "Faggot" either.

Anyone see anything awkward about that?
I don't understand how black people can object to the N word when they use it themselves when talking about other black people. I know for a fact that they do.
In the 60’s calling them “black people” was an insult, they wanted to be called Negro. Now that is an insult. Some politician insulted them by calling them “you people”.
I give up! I am not going to call them anything and they can call me honkey, I don't care.
I called Shep Smith a faggot here two months ago and they yanked it.
Why did they yank it??? Was it because you said faggot, or because you outed Shep Smith?
Because they become a protected class of people who can then do and say things others can't.
They become above the law and thus become a minority ruling class.
Who cares what is said about the most unproductive side to the society?
South Park did an episode where Randy Marsh said the forbidden word on “wheel of Fortune” and was a pariah afterwards, even though he “apologized” to Jesse Jackson by literally kissing his butt. This incident reminds me of that. Many incidents remind me of that.
Why, who authorized YOU to say the F-word? I didn’t know big brother allowed that. (LOL)
