Dr. Laura accuses Bernie Mac and Bill Cosby of using the “N word” because they are (were) “Black” comedians who had HBO Specials!

She also minimized a callers concerns about her husband's friend making racial comments by complaining about Obama being President! Amazing that Dr. Laura scolded a caller, saying “And what I just heard from Jade is a lot of what I hear from black-think -- and it's really distressting [sic] and disturbing.†http://mediamatters.org/blog/201008120045 .

While there is an argument to be made about "black think," what the caller was saying was not "black think." She was thinking about leaving her white husband because her husband's friends and family kept making disparaging remarks about blacks. How Dr. Laura got on the n-er, n-er, n-er and Obama tangent is inexplicable.

She was using an example of HBO comedians, and she was totally right. She didn't have to say it they way she did, but her point was spot-on. Her point was if black people don't want to hear that word then they should stop using it as a term of endearment with each other. Plenty of black leaders have said the same thing.

But Dr. Laura did open the call with a crappy going-in assumption that the caller was being hypersensitive. If her husband's white friends say that around her, that is clearly wrong no matter how many times Chris Rock says it during a sketch on HBO.

That was kind of my point. Dr. Laura's response really had nothing to do with what this Jade chick was asking her. Instead of accusing this gal of being over-sensitive, she should have asked what she has done to try to remedy the situation, as well as give her some advice. Instead she went all "history of racism" on her.

This can all be settled by a Jade hot or not thread.

I don't know if they have a picture of the actual Jade. Let's go with this one...

First, some Black comedians don't use the word the same way racist whites do, because, surprise, they are comedians, and Surprise, racist Whites are...racist.

Not all Black comedians use the word, which is what she implied.

I think Dave Chapelle and Paul Mooney have come out and said they won't be using the N-word anymore, so it's not like this criticism has been ignored in the black community.

She clearly had a chip on her shoulder and a point she wanted to prove, instead of answering the caller's question. "Dr." Laura is a prime example of a hypocrite and a first class bitch.

No she didn't. She said it happens, I played it back and nowhere does she say that all black comedians do it. If I say white guys own trucks that doesn't imply that all white guys own trucks. Same thing unless you are on the hunt for excuses to paint someone a racist for making a logical point.

Race relations will never get anywhere when someone saying a word they are describing, in an argument that all use of it is wrong, is called a racist for opposing racist statements. That is dumb.

Hard to imagine Bill Cosby saying "nigger" in any kind of derogatory way. If he did say it, it was probably to criticize its use by so many black folks.

I don't think Bernie Mac is saying much of anything these days.

Why would you say "white guys own trucks"? If you said that to me I would look at you like you are a complete idiot. It is a logical falacy; Why single out white guys as truck owners when clearly there are many races that own trucks. Women also own trucks. To make a statement that doesn't move the conversation forward and just causes people to think you are talking for the sake of talking.

It implies only white guys own trucks, because you are singling out "white guys."

No, by singling out white guys, you are making a statement.

Look at it this way. There is no reason to say "Black kids like McDonalds." Why? Because it implies white kids may or may not like Mcdonalds, but only Black kids, as a whole,like McDonalds. By qualifying, Black kids as a disjunct, your message is understood to be a "premise." After scrutiny, because there is no logical reason to single out "black kids" other than to say all of them like McDonalds, a person will conclude your statement is a falacy of association, which is illogical.
