The N word is never ok to use!

Sarah Palin is defending Dr. Laura Schlessinger on her so called "free speech" moment using the N-word. Defending Dr. Laura Schlessinger exercising her "free speech" shows Sarah Palin's is "true colors" and she is not taking the initiative to think that this may get her into trouble and may make her look bad to the majority as well as the minorities who represent the Republican Party. I'm extremely sorry, but I don't believe Dr. Laura Schlessinger's apology. When you apologize to someone, you do "soul searching" about yourself to find out what "you" did wrong and you try your absolute best not to say words or phrase that hurt other people ever again and find ways to improve and redevelop that close
friendly bond so that bond can spread from person to person and your reputation will be good again. So far from what I've seen and heard from her on news channels such as CNN, she hasn't made me a believer. Dr. Schlessinger knew what she was saying because she repeated the N-word 11 times. According to Dr. Laura Schlessinger she said she left her show so she can exercise her 1st amendments. Since her "retirement" (eventhough I don't buy the retirement thing) from the show, I think I heard her say she is doing stuff on the internet now, excercising her "free speech". Dr. Laura Schlessinger is too blind to her ideology to see that she is "getting herself into trouble". In my opinion, Dr. Laura Schlessinger left her show so she can go around saying the N-word when she want to and in a joking manner. The N word is NEVER ok to use even if African Americans themselves use it. The N word has a negative meaning to make African American feel low and allow another person to feel powerful. The N word is extremely offensive. It is apart of racism, a word based on judgement and stereotypes based on color that causes us as Americans to be divided even we as Americans are supposed to be "United".
Excercising free speech does not give anyone the right to say racial slurs towards other people. There are other ways people can exercise free speech and free thinking. Sometimes other peoples' idea of "free speech" can get those same people in trouble. This is no longer the old "Jim Crow" days when the majority mistreated minorities simply because the majority thought they were "better" then the minorities, this is a new era and a new day. There are laws out there. The world is changing, and the minorities will not tolerate racial disrespect from anyone whatsoever. Also, when the public looks at you and listens to you, you are considered a role model no matter what. Even children look at you. You are suppose to set an certain example far as helping people around the country or even the world. Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Sarah Palin are setting a bad example for children because they are promoting racism. If African Americans promote racism in different ways they are setting a bad example for the children as well. People need to understand that spreading and promoting racism and stereotypes everywhere you go (even in your job) justifying them both as "free speech" will get you so deep in a hole, they will not be able to get themselves out. Dr. Schlessinger was on Larry King Live on CNN, and it was said that Dr. Laura Schlessinger lost some of her sponsors after her "free speech". When people have sponsors, that mean having promotion and having support of something. But after that incedent, she doesn't have as many sponsors as she used to because those
companies don't support that kind of philosophy. I don't care if Dr. Schlessinger was trying to prove a point to the caller, talking like that on the radio is extremely unacceptable.

  1. I am so happy that the ugly (inside and out) crazy old gym teacher reaped what she had sowed. She could have gotten her argument across by saying “N word” and not using the word and by not saying "don't NAACP me" but like Michael Richards AKA “Cosmo Kramer”,she ends up the the trash heap of history, a history of her own making. I am so happy that the free market AKA sponsors started to pull their ads (I guess they were exercising their free speach) and she finally realized that she was just another “run of the mill gabby” and her days were numbered. She realized that she was not as smart as she thought she was, finally!

    The problem with Palin is the same when she mistakenly referred to Ronald Reagan Eureka College, being in California and we all know its in Illinois, same thing, she does not fact check anything she is going to say. She is soooo Palin!
