Thank You Dr. Laura For An Honest, Non Racist Dicussion On Racism

The other day Dr. Laura had a caller, who was black, who took offence to the Dr. using the term Nigger. Dr. L was making the point that some folks are allowed to use the word, and others are not. She also pointed out that the word Nigger is used quite often in movies.

The caller makes the comment that it is racist of Dr. L even to use the word, but not racist if blacks use it. That is a racist view!  There is a double standard when racism is discussed. One set of rules if you are white, and another if you are not.

I am of the belief that if you are not racist, you are free to discuss this topic without fear. Of course, the ones who complain the most, who take the most offense, and throw the label of racist on the speaker, is usually a pure racist.  The democratic party if the most racist and hate filled bunch. It is sad to see Dr. Laura apologizing for telling the truth.

Here is part of Dr. L's show were she educates her caller on the double standard that isused when "race" is involved.

CALLER: -- racism has come to another level that's unacceptable.

SCHLESSINGER: Yeah. We've got a black man as president, and we have more complaining about racism than ever. I mean, I think that's hilarious.

CALLER: But I think, honestly, because there's more white people afraid of a black man taking over the nation.

SCHLESSINGER: They're afraid.

CALLER: If you want to be honest about it [unintelligible]

SCHLESSINGER: Dear, they voted him in. Only 12 percent of the population's black. Whites voted him in.

CALLER: It was the younger generation that did it. It wasn't the older white people who did it.

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, OK.

CALLER: It was the younger generation --

SCHLESSINGER: All right. All right.

CALLER: -- that did it.

SCHLESSINGER: Chip on your shoulder. I can't do much about that.

CALLER: It's not like that.

SCHLESSINGER: Yeah. I think you have too much sensitivity --

CALLER: So it's OK to say "nigger"?

SCHLESSINGER: -- and not enough sense of humor.

CALLER: It's OK to say that word?

SCHLESSINGER: It depends how it's said.

CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?

SCHLESSINGER: 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.

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, I see. So, a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.

CALLER: I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the "nigger" word, and I hope everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: I didn't spew out the "nigger" word.

CALLER: You said, "Nigger, nigger, nigger."

SCHLESSINGER: Right, I said that's what you hear.

CALLER: Everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: Yes, they did.

CALLER: I hope everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: They did, and I'll say it again --

CALLER: So what makes it OK for you to say the word?

SCHLESSINGER: -- nigger, nigger, nigger is what you hear on HB --

CALLER: So what makes it --

SCHLESSINGER: Why don't you let me finish a sentence?

CALLER: OK.

SCHLESSINGER: Don't take things out of context. Don't double N -- NAACP me. "

This is fact, many blacks voted for Barack because he was black. Even some whites voted fot him solely because he is black. Heck, white folks got him elected!
