    WHITE PEOPLE, BLACK PEOPLE, ANY PEOPLE AT ALL SHOULD NOT USE THE "N" WORD. THAT SHEPARD GIRL LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT SAYING THAT SHE CAN SAY IT BUT OTHER RACES CAN'T. PEOPLE NEED TO PSYCHOLOGICALLY REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK FOR JUST ONE RACE TO USE IT!!! SHUT UP!

    @classybuttafly...ur right we shouldn't use it, but its a part of our culture a part of our history that we can't just simply say ok no more to. like whoopi kind of said we turned it into our own..there's going to keep being conversations like this as black culture is slowly, but surely assimilating into american culture

    let me find out elizabeth and hillary clinton went to the same school, the school of " CRYING WHEN UNDER PRESSURE " .. talking about the topic is upsetting to her and she is white ,what about us minorities going through the years of racial abuse? ... whoopi lets the truth be known whenever needed

    I'm black and I don't want my kids using that word. Does that make me a conservative Biotch? Elizabeth had that ish coming. The show is called The View. Everyone has a diferent point of view. You don't have to like it but just respect it.

    I don't like her but she felt like we've been feeling for the past 300 hundred and something years.....but yet we still hold our heads high.

    White folks reading:

    You CaNNOT use it for one simple reason. It hurts when you say it and it doesn't hurt when someone black says it.

    You say it to either belittle or demean me (or at some weak attempt to fit in), we say it because there's some kindred connection and we have a shared common struggle.

    Just let it go, why does it bother you that you can't use it anyway. A sense of deserved entitlement will get you killed. Just saying...
     

    TskTsk264
    that was supposed to be 'undeserved'

    But I agree that none of us should say it because it is never going to work for us to try to be exclusive with something as common as a word. And as long as we don't want them to say it and they for some reason feel the need to say it then none of us should say it. ...or black pple should wise the [EXPLETIVE] up and keep it amongst only black pple, which means Sherri you can't go on TV saying that. Just go to the family BBQ do you, but when on the View make sure clueless white pple like Elizabeth keep it out of their mouths for all of their days.
     

    msfoxxy
    She just needs to accept the fact that some blacks use it but it is not okay for whites to use it. Period. End of story.

    And LOL @ we live in the same world. WTF? Is she living under a rock or is she just naive.

    I agree with Sherri, I don't give a [EXPLETIVE] how many times I say "[EXPLETIVE]: [EXPLETIVE] I'm a "[EXPLETIVE]," not a "[EXPLETIVE]," that is totally different.. When we say "[EXPLETIVE]" we're talkin about our one of "us" but when we say "[EXPLETIVE]" then it take us back to slave days. I don't c why all the educated people doesn't understand that. That white bitch shouldn't have said it and if I was in the audience I would've tried to get up there and beat her ass just so Whoopi could have a job to come back to. We'll c though if they let my "[EXPLETIVE]" go.! lol

    WE can say "[EXPLETIVE]" all we want to because that term simply refers to "us." When a white says it that takes us back to the word "[EXPLETIVE]" and we aren't tryin to hear that [EXPLETIVE]. I agree with Sherri just because "[EXPLETIVE]" and "[EXPLETIVE]" means two different things to me. Ya'll act like that's a curse word. Watch this, "[EXPLETIVE]", "[EXPLETIVE]", "[EXPLETIVE]!" Did anyone get offended? If so get yo sensitive out of here and move to another country because as long as u're here u are going to hear it!

    When are WE (BLACK PEOPLE) going to wake up! NO ONE-BLACK, WHITE, RED, PURPLE, ORANGE, SHOULD USE THE N WORD! WE (BLACK PEOPLE) are the only group of people who refer to ourselves in such a derogatory manner. You never hear asians refer to themselves as WHOPS, or you never hear whites refer to themselves as [EXPLETIVE] or latinos call each other SPICS, and if they do call each other that, it's NEVER out in public, it never comes out in their music or anything. How dare MY PEOPLE say that the N word is a TERM OF ENDEARMENT..NO calling your loved one or friend "brotha" or "sista" as they used to do back in the day, is a form of endearment! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!

    Yea, that word is ugly no matter how it's phrased. I don't hear Spanish calling each other Spics. We are too proud to do that. And that's the problem. There is too much self-hate within the black community. How can you expect to rise above if you are too busy tearing each other down? What kind of endearment is it really when Jay-Z says "N***a ask about me."

    I am Black, but I agree with Elizabeth! If the word was CREATED as an offensive term, then it will ALWAYS be an offensive term. A rose by any other name is still a rose. But of course in this case, it's the SAME NAME! Whoever "made" the word into a term of "endearment" clearly was NOT thinking. Even though we have gone through so many troubles as a race, the word was CREATED by WHITE folks as a term of OFFENSE! And I would never want to be called that word by ANYONE! Just think: Why was the word CREATED? There is NO EXCUSE as to why it shoould be a term that is loosely thrown around! NO EXCUSE whatsoever. We as blacks should be IN SCHOOL learning some NEW TERMS to strengthen our vocabularies and focus on getting an education! That's what we should focus on! But no, we would rather be called nigg**s! It's funny, but I'm not a part of it! I choose to stand out!

    Last week, after being hyped by Matt Drudge and Fox News, the Beltway press unanimously decided that Rev. Jesse Jackson's whispered comments, picked up on a live television set mic, in which he expressed anger with Sen. Barack Obama and used some crude language to convey his sentiments (i.e. he wanted to cut off Obama's "nuts"), represented a hugely important event. "It was the most-covered campaign story of the week".


    By contrast, McCain said at a campaign appearance in Denver on July 7 that the Social Security system as structured in America, in which younger people pay taxes to support the benefits of retirees, is an "absolute disgrace" -- but his proclamation was mostly passed over as being irrelevant. The disconnect betwee n the coverage was astounding.
    As of Sunday morning, only 17 major metropolitan newspapers in America had reported on McCain's "disgraceful" remark, in a total of 20 articles and columns, according to search of Nexis.


    By contrast, more than 50 major U.S. dailies published a total of 126 articles and columns about the Jackson story. Several influential newspapers went back to the story ad nauseam. Combined, the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times and Los Angeles Times published 39 different articles and columns that referenced the Jackson-Obama controversy.


    By contrast, the combined number of stories and columns those three newspapers published that made reference to the McCain "disgrace" controversy? One.


    On television, the disparity was even more striking. Again, as of Sunday morning there had been nearly 900 mentions of "Jesse Jackson" over the previous five days on the cable and networks news cha nnels, according to a search of TVeyes.com.


    On those same news outlets there had been less than 24 references to McCain's "disgrace" comment. And not a single network newscast reported on the Social Security story.

    First off we as a culture need to stop using that word. I know I still catch myself doing it sometimes b/c its a bad habit that I NEED to stop. But what Elizabeth needs to understand, we still live in a racist world with ppl that have the most closed minds b/c they were formed to be just that. Even though we're a black community that use that word as positive, how does that look to other cultures?? It's just like telling a child not to do drugs but you're a drug dealer!? It dont' make sense, we're sending off the wrong message. So in this case I agree with Elizabeth that we need to stop using the word but also Whoopi stated it correct, we don't live in the same world!

    The BIG difference is GGER and GGA. When whites use it they use the GGER which takes us back to the derogatory meaning. I use to to define a male, someone foolish, my buddy, but never about race.

    first of all, that dumb white broad is a follower, her thoughts R not her own, she don't even know what she's talking about most of the time. Second the Whoopster has a lotta nerve 2 chastise anybody 4 using racial slurs after she allowed Ted Danson 2 tell racially sensitive jokes while wearing blackface.

    as 4 abolishing the N-word, it's been here & sad 2 say, but it's not going anywhere, anytime soon, do I still use it? yes, either as a term of endearment or when I'm describing the actions of some ignorant individual regardless of race.

    First of all, Elizabeth has no idea what is going on Black America. She doesn't understand that there are many versions of America. She lives in her rich/conservative world without a clue to how poor people live. What black and brown people go through on a daily basis. Elizabeth represents the average white woman in America.


    Second of all, If black people continue to use the N-word, then other races/people will continue to use the N-word. That is why we can't get mad at idiots like Don Imus. They see us disrespect ourselves and each other, so they think its okay for them to disrespect us. I don't hear/see Asians calling each other ch!nks. I don't hear/see whites calling each other h*nkey. I don't hear Hispanics calling themselves $pics. Only black people will take a racist word and brain-washed themselves to use it against each other.

    Whoopi is right....we don't live in the same world. However, Whoopi is wrong to use racism as a reason for blacks to continue to use the N-word. She is no different from Messy Jesse abd his hypocrisy.

    You all are popping off over nothing.

    Elisabeth didn't say the N-Word, the discussion was about Jesse Jackson saying that word on Fox News last week, in reference to Barack.

    So, Elisabeth asked why is it okay for him to say it, but when a white person says it, there's a problem. She also said that she does not use that word or any other racial slur, and that she wishes that no one would use those words anymore.

    She also didn't really cry. I mean, she got a lil misty eyed for like 5 seconds, but then, it was over.

    But, I just think that whites still have a problem with us using the word because we took the initiative to turn a negative into a positive. And we also use it amongst ourselves as a term of endearment. I mean, for whites to feel like they are entitled to be a part of that, when the fact remains that they were the ones who made that term derogatory in the first place, is just beyond absurd.

    AND WHY PEOPLE KEEP SAYING IF WE USE IT THEN OTHER RACES GOING 2 USE IT.....NO THESE MUTHAFUKERS KNOW DAMN WELL IT IS NOT RIGHT 4 THEM 2 SAY IT JUST CAUSE US BLACKS DO THE [EXPLETIVE] DONT MEAN THEY CAN DO [EXPLETIVE].....SO IF WE USED TO CALLING OUR PEOPLES NIGGAHS IN A PLAYFUL WAY OR EVEN IN A SERIUOS WAY WE SUPPOSE TO STOP DOING WHAT WE USED 2 DOING FOR SOME OTHER MUTHAFUKERS 2 THINK IT IS NOT OKAY NO [EXPLETIVE] THAT THEY NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFRENCE.....EVEN IF WE DOING IT IN OUR OWN [EXPLETIVE] HOUSE SO WHAT IT IS WHAT WE USED 2 SAYING [EXPLETIVE] NIGGAHS

    I watched that show yesterday and I've been watching The View for a while. Elisabeth gets on my last nerve. She always argues with somebody if they don't agree with her and then gets teary eyed when somebody has a stronger argument against her opinion. She needs to stop being so sensitive and learn that people have their own damn opinions. And then she always gets mad when people point out McCain's flaws. Get over it trick! I can't stand her.

    Good morning, MTO family

    I don't understand why so many people are calling Elisabeth out of her name just to get their point across. To your knowledge, has she done anything offensive to you, or the Black community, for that matter? Has she personally attacked any of you? Probably not. You don't have to offend or degrade someone just to get your point across.

    As for the "N" word, I totally agree with her, and a few of the bloggers. It's not okay to use the "N" word in any shape, way, or form. You don't hear people saying, "Whaddup, my [EXPLETIVE]!" or, "Whaddup, honkey!" Do you hear people saying, "Whaddup poor white trash!" How many of you have ever heard that before? How many of you say "Whaddup Spic[EXPLETIVE]!" to a Hispanic/Latino person? Chances are, you wouldn't. Why? Because it's disrespectful. But somehow, some Blacks have allegedly changed -ger to -ga or -gah, and it's all of a sudden "okay?" It's never okay. Would you want your kids to address others like that?

    To my knowledge, we (Black) people are the only race that does this. It tears us down as a race, and undermines the value of the beauty of our race. Please take time out to educate yourselves on this word. It was a term the White man gave us back in the day, and its meaning has not, nor will it ever change. It's not okay for ANY RACE to use it.

    If that be the case, then I guess reverse racism is okay too? As a people, let's elevate our minds to an exponential degree, so our Black children won't become the victims of our ignorance. Be blessed.

But you are sh*ttin me if you are going to tell me there aren't different meanings coming out of different mouths. Good Job Jesse...now you got caucasians feeling comfortable about talking sideways!

    I know one thing…anybody that calls me the N-word is not someone I want to associate with. This word is getting out of hand, especially in the Middle and High schools. Its not only the N-word…the B-word is popular too. The girls think its cool for boys to refer to them as b!tches. They see it as a term of “affection”. It’s the same “affection” that comes with the N-word.

    For those people who say, “The word is here and we can’t change it”. I say, “Baloney”. Our history proves that we (as black people) can change anything. We just have to work on it and regain our identity. If our Civil Rights warriors had “we-can’t-change” mind frame, then we would still be riding on the back of buses.

    In the words of Bob Marley, “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
    None but ourselves can free our minds”.

    SOME, not all, black people are some of the biggest hypocrites ever. I have yet to hear an educated black person adequately defend using the word N*gga. To say that we've turned into something positive is bullsh*t. Other races have been called derogatory names and they havent turned that into something positive.
    The N word is bad on so many levels and to have someone like Whoopi sit on that stage and justify using it is crazy to me.
    How black does a person have to be to use the word? Can my white friend who's always been around black people and had little or no contact with white people use the word? NO?
    How about my mixed friend who's black and Swedish? Can she use the word even though she looks white?
    Say you use the word in your house and an impressionable child hears and uses it in school to their white friends. How do you then explain to a young child that they can't use it because theyre white, and your black child "earned" the right to use it!??!
    Comeon. Elisabeth was crying because she was frustrated at the bull that Whoopi was telling her.

    We didn't make the word up.white folks did...now whitey is mad because we took that word, made it our own word, and do not allow them to say it to us....why does that bother them so much? Get over it whitey, you can't tell us what and what not to say anymore! [EXPLETIVE] ASS [EXPLETIVE]

    I do not use the "n" word and I never have simply because I didn't grow up with a family that uses the word. HOWEVER,words do change meaning over time. A great example in the English language is the word "gay", which everyone knows has a strict definition of "happy". Another example is the word "ghetto", which used to be the name of places that were heavily inhabited by Jews.

    Now the infamous question: Why can't white people say it. Sometimes, even though words can become a term of endearment, if you are not inside of the circle of endearment then it still hurts coming from you. For example, when my niece was born she was very big for her age for the first year or two of her life. (She eventually grew out of it, as most children do) Anyway, everyone in my family used to call her "chub chub" as her nic-name. We never said it to degrade her in any way. Now if fomebody else came along calling her chubby, we probably would have been very mad because they aren't in the family so they have no right to use that name.

    elizabeth is very closed minded and even though she doesn't "want to say the n word" i'm sure that white devil has. she doesn't fool me at all. i'm sure she calls whoppi and other black folk nigg*ers when those doors are closed.

    If she said it...oh well!!!! Black people have been calling each other that word for years now. People say the blacks say: N.I.G.G.A while whites say: N.I.G.G.E.R. Dumbazz black people, there is no difference, the only difference is the "er" and "a" at the end. In slavery it was illegal to educate blacks, so we mimicked what we heard the whites say, often times it came out sounding different, that's how "ebonics", "slang" or "broken-English" came about. Even today a lot of us won't say four, we'll say foh, or instead of door it's dough. Just a reality!!! It offends me more to have a black person use that word, because of all the killings, lynchings, raping, tearing families apart over that word. So black people don't get mad when others use it, because we don't own the copy rights to that word. When we educate ourselves so that we don't degrade our people by using it, then and only then, can we really get angry because another race used it against us. Knowledge is empowerment!!!!

    Whoopi explained it best when she said we took it out of the peoples hands that have been calling us it and now we have it in our hands and turned it around. It is also funny that whites have been calling us Ni99ers since they bought us over on the slave ships and now there is this big deal about it. and if you really look at it we say Ni99as and not Ni9ggers. Like Tupac said also, there is a difference between the two.

    White folks just cannot accept that there are certain things that they can't do...She is the epitome of White entitlement....People like her think that its their world and that they should be able to dictate how things are and what they should be able to do....

    Once white folks started getting their asses fired for saying it, then all of a sudden they want to turn it around and dictate to black folks, saying "if we cant then you can't either"...And as far as i'm concerned, they can go straight to hell with that.

    Elizabeth should have to do the experiment where her skin is painted brown and wear a wig like Black women's hair, and live for 1 week as a Black woman. She should have to look for a job, buy a house, go shopping, try to date, try to have political protection, as well as other daily activities that Black women experience. Elizabeth would kill herself!!!!! If she cried just because of what Whoopi said, she would not make it for a full day as a Black woman in America.
    Elizabeth is so privileged, that she could not understand that there is a different reality for white people and Black people. ...Even Black people with money!
    She should stay on the show so that Whoopi and Sherri can continue to shut her down!!!!!
     

    peachpie
    This is the first time I have ever agreed with Elizabeth. Those 2 idiots are so comfortable in their [EXPLETIVE] ways that they don't see it's a word that serves no useful purpose for anyone. How are you going to teach your children to say it's okay for you to say [EXPLETIVE] but, no one outside of your race can say it. That is a racist statement. I think Barbara Walters like having people of marginal intelligence on her show so she can keep them in line. Way to go Elizabeth. You made a whole lot all sense and don't let a few tears imtimidate you from making a point. Even thou I think republicans are destroying a great country.

    OH, white people can't say [EXPLETIVE] because their ancestors were not slaves who built the United States for no pay. They are offended by the fact that Black people are trying to actually restrict them from something, like the N-word, as they say.
    They have been so accustomed to white privilege that they are afraid of Black prosperity.
    So when Black people are intelligent and assertive, they become threatened.
    When Black people are ignorant, uneducated, ghetto, criminal, and un-cultured, they LOVE IT!!!!
    So, Black folks, begin to be the best that you can be, just to prove them wrong. The other reason is to inprove our own conditions as a people!!

    It's as simple as this. The reason it's not okay for white people to say the N word is because it's automatically racist and/or offensive coming out of their mouth because of the history of this country and when black people use it it's automatically understood that it has no meaning or offense. Simply put! White people cannot use the word!

    to me the "n" word is like calling your friend a b|i|t|c|h .. now u can call your friend a b|i|t|c|h but if someone else calls your friend a b|i|t|c|h its a problem . thats just how i like to think about it .

    WE are the ones giving the word power. It's just a word let it go. The more they say it and don't get a rise out of you, the less appealing the word is to them. This word, n199er is such an issue, because it is forbidden. Do you know how mad they will get when they say [EXPLETIVE] and no one reacts? Do you know how hard it will be for them to find something else to ruffle your feathers? The next time someone of another race calls you n199er just look at them and shake your head. Watch their response. It's priceless!

You will know when the power has been taken away from that word when you are called the N word by a white person & it does not bother you.

    Oh crying a$$ Elizabeth, JUST DON'T USE THE WORD LIKE SHERRI AND WHOOPI TOLD YOU! I think she is secretly racist because I saw her on CNN talking about she doesn't trust Obama as her President because he was under the leadership of a racist minister for 20 years. The man isn't racist -- he is speaking the truth.

    This is the way I see it. Ladies, have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said, "Wow, this outfit makes me look like a fat ass." It's cool bc you are talking about yourself but if your man walks in the room and says,"Wow that outfit makes you look like a fat ass." Then it becomes a whole different story. Yeah, that's a light hearted example but that's the way some people feel about the "N" word. We can debate this until the end of time but it is what it is. Just like they can be "C" average students, do cocaine, be dumb as a doorknob and still become president w/ no question but when we have good grade, don't do drugs and are articulate and intelligent people don't know if we can actually be a good leader, same thing.

    it's really messed up when a White person has to speak out against a word that is obviously offensive- but the black people on the panel are too stupid to see her perspective.
    Hey if the N word was so cool to use, how come this website censors it when you try and write it???
    We have a black man running for president and yet when topics like this come up.. makes you wonder how far did we really come.
    I doubt if Dr. King were alive he would justify using the word N*gga. And for those of you who dont agree with what I'm saying.. instead of coming at me cursing..I challenge you to make at least one good point about using the word N*gga, other than we've "earned" it.

    This comment is related to the July 17th episode regarding the use of the N-word. First and foremost I am a 30 year old Bi-racial female. I want to give say thank you to Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I 100 percent agree with her . My opinion and its only my opinion, The N-word is a terrible word that was used for centuries to lower the self esteem of Blacks. So when I hear fellow Blacks using the N-Word in conversations and even rap lyrics it upsets me. Hears why, its not fair of us as a people to say "its ok for me to use but if you use it I will beat you up or ect". I have even heard comments like "We are taking that word back and changing the meaning." The meaning of that word is an ignorant person. If that word is not ok for everybody to use in conversations, maybe noone should use it. Every single day I hear stories of the discrimination towards black, and how our ancestors were called the N-word for so long they began thinking it was there name. No matter how you think you can change that word and how it is used it will always have those skeletons attached to it. Sorry Woopi and Sheri I love you. I also usually agree with you but this time I believe you have it wrong. How can we change how others view our race as long as we continue to put our selves down by refering to each other saying, " Whats up My N***A? Then have the nerve to tell White people no way can you use it even if its in the same context as the way we use it. Come on now. Way to go Elisabeth. I been asking my self and others the same thing, trying to get a decent answer.

    The whole situation is complicated . . . just like the history of the word being discussed.

    I can understand Elizabeth's stance on the subject, her only misstep was trying to paint a Polly Annaish view of the world where our experiences are the same. Being a minority in this country (any minority) is vastly different than being a white American. The only way we're going to make progress is if they accept this very real fact and move from there.

    In regards to the whole concept of "reclaiming and redefining a negative word to make it a positive" I can see the argument being posed but it is still a flawed. A white person looking from the outside in isn't going to see it as some kind of race reaffirming practice. They're going to see it as a bunch of dumb ni@@ers (because they use the er in it's true form) who are so stupid that they refer to themselves as a racial slur. And worst yet, they're probably thinking they created the word in the first place so their more than entitled to use it. Trying to put rules of protocol on it is not going to change the nature or origin of the word. So either we can a) stop using it altogether or b) really try to claim the power of the word and not let it get under our skin when white people use it. But that's easier said then done, hence why we're in this conundrum.

    And as for her tearing up, the old adage is that if you can't take the heat,stay out of the kitchen. Even if her intentions were noble, she shouldn't have gone toe to toe with Whoopi unless she was able to stand up for her convictions. She made herself look naive and foolish when she may have actually been makin a valid point.
     

    ADAH
    I dont get it!!!! A word was invented to disgrace a race and the best solution is to make a joke out of it,then continue making jokes out of the way others get treated and addressed. Cant have your cake and eat it to. Point is the word should be burned and buried. The point of using the word was not addressed after all that. If we live in different worlds per Whoopi then racism can continue bc those can continue to say I want nothing to do with you bc your the N word, right???? or lets use porck monk@@, spoo@@, co@@s, etc. Its okay right bc you can grab more words then turn them into acceptable language. I think Elizabeth cryed out of frustration of ingorance not bc she felt like she was blind .

    I dont think Elizabeth was being racist. In fact i think that she was trying to see the logic in a whole group of people taking an ugly,hateful word that has a history of pain and using it towards one another.

    I think she is a decent chic just trying to understand the lunancy of people identifying with something ugly and hateful as opposed to identifying with something that is positive and beautiful.

    Dig this: if you walk up to a brother on any street corner and called him a punk,chances are pretty good that you would get knocked the fucc out! but call that same man a n***** and it's all good.

    What we dont seem to understand is that we've suffered from 400 years of negative programming of the worst kind!

    Look at the multitudes of black people who live in the greatest nation on earth and we still live in miserable poverty! This is 2008! We should be much farther along than we are and this is due to a large extent because of the massively negative programming that we've recieved over and over!

    Everytime we use that word we are basically re-enforcing that programming that says we are inferior,that we are expected to fail,that we are doomed to second class citizenship!

    I say in the words of PUBLIC ENEMY: DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE!

    No matter how you try to explain it to non blacks they just dont undertand. That word has followed us around since we came to this country. That word hasnt went anywhere so we chose to make it into a term we feel comfortable with. That doesnt mean we feel comfortable hearing others call us that because for so long we were called that by those same peoe and it held a different meaning. The "A" and the "ER" are 2 different things. There is really no way to fully get someone to understand the word and why we use it. some of us dont know why we use it but it is a part of all of us as blacks in america. Elizabeth was out of line for not respecting the whole thing. She might even be low key racist. but whatever the case dont try to make us look bad by exploiting the fact we use it.

    A little late on this post but...
    A few people typed some things I want to respond to but for now I'll just repond to the 'same world'. We live in the same world physically but not mentally.
    When we realize that most of our being is mental and spiritual, I think we will be better off. This may go over a lot of peoples head because you just 'ain't' there yet.
    I am not saying we are not physical beings because 'duh'. To stop using that word is not going to change the fact that African's were slaves. No abandonment of any derogatory word is going to change any negative impacts that history has made. I'm not advocating the use of the word, I'm just telling a truth.

    BeReal... thank you for your comments. I am in total agreeance with you about the use of the word N*gga. Like I said in my previous posts, I have yet to hear anyone adequately defend using the word. To have Whoopi say such garbage and to have Barbara co sign it, shows that White people really do think lowly of us.
    Whoopi is trash and Sherri is trash. Anyone who doesnt know if the Earth is round or flat(Sherri Sheperd), shouldnt be allowed to have their opinions heard.
    Yes, some black people are very stupid and they talk about both sides of their mouths. Its ok for rappers to use n*gga and b*tch in their songs.. but if a white radio host uses it in a joking fashion, there's an uproar.
    SOME OF US ARE MAJOR HYPOCRITES. LETS EDUCATE OUR OWN BEFORE WE POINT THE BLAME AT OTHERS.

    I'm black and I was not allowed to use the 'N' word growing up. My parents would've smacked me in my mouth. I guess every black person is different cause some blacks would've disagreed with Whoopi logic of the word. However I thought Elizabeth was dumb for saying we live in the same world. Wrong answer! But it was good seeing Whoopi check that a** properly.
     

    chace
    Elizabeth did raise a valid point tho. Why would a person use a word that's offensive them? I understand that the 'N' word is used differently among blacks and whites but the word still has one meaning. Just like when I hear women call each other b*tches. Not everyone is going to go along wit this is term of endearment or the word is different depending on how it's used. None of those logics are concrete or good enough for the masses to except because the message is too confusing!!!

    SOME OF YALL IS SOME DUMBASSESS SHE NEVER SAID THE WORD AS A MATTER A FACT SHE IS AGAINST EVERYBODY SAYING IT.SHE AND WHOOPI HAD GOOD POINTS. SHE THINKS ITS DEGRADING TO ALL PEOPLE TO USE IT. BUT SHE CANT UNDERSTAND CULTURALLY WHY SO MANY BLACK FOLKS ACCEPT THE TERM WITHEN THEMSELVES.

    CHACE, you've made some good points as well. GENERALLY speaking all other races think lowly of black people. And can you blame them when we do such a beautiful job of contradicting ourselves?
    Jesse was upset and felt that Obama was talking down to black people when in my opinion, Obama was only telling the truth. Same thing with Cosby.
    No, but there are some black people who want to continue in their ignorance and continue to perpetuate the stereotypes about black people. They refuse to take responsibility for their actions.
    Like I said, Whoopi is trash and I doubt if they had prominent black people in the media such as Jeff Johnson, Phylicia Rashad, Oprah, Soledad O'Brien.. ask one of them if they think the word is acceptable? chances are they would say no.
     

    ladylove28
    That goes to show you that even though whoopi is married to a white man she will still put a white person in check about the n word !!!!!

    I agree w/ both of them.... No one should use that word, but also, we just can't go up and stop using all at once. But It's hard, we grew up with the word.
    Maybe if there was a common ground where we could compromise both of these sides of the issue.
     

    Missmedia81
    Wow only 10 % of the people posting were really actually listening to what she was saying she has a point.
    The word is now deeply embedded in black culture really ghetto uneducated people use the word so frequently in front of anyone almost like using the word I. Yes they look stupid but hell they think they are being cool. The word is not acceptable but America has a Freedom of Speech and I hate hearing black people use it too because they take it way too far.

    Blu you are such a dumb bitch. Explain why Elisabeth is a bitch. Why is Whoopi right? Yea, she has a point about black and whites living in two separate worlds. But Elisabeth was completely right about the use of the N-word.
    It's ignorant bitches like you that make it so hard to get rid of the word because you cant see other perspectives.
    You're the simple one.

    you have to be a simple one to agree with Whoopi.

    come on black people I know you cant be that ignorant to say elizabeth was wrong for saying what she said. It's true. Why would you get offended if a white person says it but not a black person. Either way it's still degrading. But yet we sit up here n say well look how they use to use the word to degrade us. But now ur gonna use it to degrade ya self. Makes no since to me

    Umm i dont know about yall but I don't let nobody call me the n word no way shape or form. I don't care how long we been friends thats just somethin I don't like. The word is ugly lol why would you wanna be called that? But I see where both of them was trying 2 go with their arguments.

    And Whoopi and that other chick does NOT SPEAK FOR ALL BLACK PEOPLE. Let someone else with an ounce of class and less ignorance be on that show and you would've heard differently. We are not the brightest people and it shows. And it wasn't right for them to jump on her like that. AND YALL ARE JUST AS IGNORANT CALLING HER OUT HER NAME. WE STRIVE TO FIND WHITE PEOPLE LIKE THAT WHO WANT TO BRING US TOGETHER. Yall are never satisfied. When someone is being racist yall are mad, and when they are not yall are mad at that too.

    And I hate when people say "we were slaves" YOU AS A PERSON WAS NEVER A SLAVE. So you don't know what it was like and if you did you would never use that word in the 1st place.

    i dont think this word should be used by anyone black, white or hispanics who i here using alot more than blacks. i dont see how blacks can sit up there and claim that word like its ours..i dont answer to that, i dont use it in my home and my kids dont use it either..its a degrading word.. i just dont understand how sherrie can sit there and say she can use the word but no one else can..how ignortant of her and she on national tv. whick makes it even worse b/c their going to look at her like she speaks for all whites..come black people we have to free our minds we have been locked up too long

    @pinkloy,Pretty_Black_Girl, Great POINTS!!!!! WHOOPI AND THE OTHER BLACK SAMBO ARE IDIOTS, ELIZABETHS POINTS WERE VERY LOGICAL... ONLY BLACK PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT BLACK IS SHODDY INCLUDE THE N WORD IN THEIR VERNACULAR....IF YOU ARE TRULY PROUD OF BEING BLACK AND ARE NOT A SUBSCRIBER TO WHITE SUPREMACY BRAINWASHING, YOU WOULD BE OFFENDED IF ANYBODY (BLACK, WHITE, ASIAN ETC) USED THAT WORD...IT IS A WORD THAT CAUSED OUR ANCESTORS SO MUCH HARDSHIPS, BUT YET WE COME AROUND AND TRY TO MAKE IT COOL, SO WHAT ARE WE REALLY SAYING WHEN WE USE THAT WORD? THAT THE HARDSHIPS OF OUR ANCESTORS WAS COOL? BLACK PEOPLE ITS 2008 STOP SUPPORTING BEHAVIOR THAT IS NOT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST....THIS WORD SHOULD BE ABOLISHED AND LIKE ELIZABETH WAS TRYING TO SAY BEFORE WHOOPI HAD A TEMPER TANTRUM, NOBODY SHOULD USE THIS NEGATIVE WORD!!!!!



    @Dre7Guevara GREAT POINT!!!!
    "Whoopster has a lotta nerve 2 chastise anybody 4 using racial slurs after she allowed Ted Danson 2 tell racially sensitive jokes while wearing blackface"

    I found that to be interesting also...She was laughing her lungs out when her white and shining armor ted danson gave that racist performance RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, BUT SHE'S READY TO EAT ELIZABETH ALIVE FOR HAVING A STANCE THAT WHOOPI HERSELF SHOULD HAVE LMAOOOO (I REALIZED HOWEVER, WITHOUT ALOT OF SISTERS ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO BE CYNICAL TOWARDS WHITE MEN, IN ANYWAY LMAOOO, SAD BUT ACCUARATE) IT JUST COMMUNICATES TO ME, THAT WHOOPI HAS A DEEPER RESENTMENT FOR ELIZABETH (OR PERHAPS WHITE WOMEN IN GENERAL) THAT SHE PERHAPS DOESNT EVEN KNOW EXIST INSIDE OF HER.....I GUESS WAKING UP WITH DRED LOCKS INSTEAD OF GOLDEN LOCKS HAS DONE SOMETHING TO HER.....HULK MAD!!!!!

    I think people are not seeing what Elizabeth was trying to do. The question was "Why can't I (A WHITE PERSON) say it," the original question did not pertain to the validity of the "[EXPLETIVE]." She then justified it by saying what do I tell my child, when her friend uses it, but she cannot. She was not looking out for our culture or standing up for us, you get that twisted. Like others have stated, it was for self entitlement. I am sure she is quite aware why she cannot use it. She did that to condemn our culture. I think its our responsibility to check our community concerning the word, not the powers to be that introduce the word in the first place.

    We do need to distroy that word, because the more we try to justify it, the more it falls on deaf ears. The debate over the PC-ness of the word gives it more "negative" powers. As for people who say that other cultures do not condemn each other, you would be surprise.

    Like these "latino stand up" people, you having noticed the lack of negritas in telenovelas unless they are in servitude and on major noticias. PR, DR are divide racially. True witness of this was the Miss Universe pageant. Hispanics represent 4 countries, excluding Spain, and NONE of them were morenitas that are part of your culture. If you are an affluent dark- skinned public figure you are in entertainment. I digress, SMH.

    Elizabeth thinks that if she talks loud and talks over someone, that it makes her right. Not! She started to cry no because the conversation or n word upset her. She was crying because she could control the conversation. And when Elizabeth can't be in control, she feel she is being attacked. I am glad Sherri finally opened up her mouth because sometimes she gives me the impression "massa! I just so happy to have this job" when it come to Elizabeth. My girl Whoppi never forgets who she is or where she comes from.

    I know Sticks and Stones may break my bones but guess what? Words DO hurt. If anybody knows what verbal abuse is like they will understand the power and force behind words no matter how hard you try to ignore it. If words don't give meaning and are meaningless then what is the point of speaking? If I called you stupid, silly, fool, ignorant or low class, you would respond with anger. Anger also takes on the form of laughing, being passive-aggressive, defensiveness and denial. So if you respond to what I am saying, you were moved to action to express yourself. So words mean A LOT.

    NJADONIS78 said "When are WE (BLACK PEOPLE) going to wake up! NO ONE-BLACK, WHITE, RED, PURPLE, ORANGE, SHOULD USE THE N WORD! WE (BLACK PEOPLE) are the only group of people who refer to ourselves in such a derogatory manner. You never hear asians refer to themselves as WHOPS, or you never hear whites refer to themselves as [EXPLETIVE] or latinos call each other SPICS, and if they do call each other that, it's NEVER out in public, it never comes out in their music or anything. How dare MY PEOPLE say that the N word is a TERM OF ENDEARMENT..NO calling your loved one or friend "brotha" or "sista" as they used to do back in the day, is a form of endearment! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!"

    YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT!!! WE NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE USING THE "n" WORD BROUGHT US BACK POWER. SHERRI SHEPARD SOUNDED IGNORANT THE WAY SHE EXPLAINED HERSELF..."TERM OF ENDEARMENT"??? GET THE F#CK OUTTA HERE!!!

    IF I USED THE WORD "SPIC" AROUND LATINOS THEY'D HAVE A FIT! IF I SAID "CHINK" AROUND ASIANS THEY'D BE OFFENDED. BUT ALL PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS WHITE PEOPLE USING IT??? NOW WONDER WE ARE THE LEAST RESPECTED RACE!

    OTHER ETHNICITIES MAY HATE ON WHITES CAUSE THEY ARE IN A CERTAIN POSITION, WHETHER THEY EARNED IT OR GOT IT FROM "DADDY'S MONEY." BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BLACKS, OTHER RACES THINK WE ARE GHETTO, IGNORANT AND VIOLENT.

    THE TITLE OF THIS ARTICLE WAS READ WRONG!!! ELIZABETH DID NOT ADMIT TO USING THE "N" WORD; SHE WAS TRYING TO DEBATE WHY BLACKS BOTHER USING IT STILL, AND WHERE IS IT APPROPRIATE TO USE...IN PRIVATE???

    JESSE JACKSON IS A DUMB AZZ FOR THAT SLIP-UP! I'M SURPRISED THAT A MAN IN SUCH A HIGH POSITION USES THAT WORD. EWW! I GUESS YOU CAN TAKE 'EM OUT THE HOOD, BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HOOD OUT OF THEM!!!

    It's really comical that IDIOTS on here are defending using the word N*gga. How are you bettering yourself by using that word? What is the point of using the word? You claim that we've taken back the word and turned into something positive.
    Peep this.. Blacks weren't always granted the right to vote. Now we have the right to vote. Yet, many of you DO NOT vote. How come you're not turning that into something positive? Ohhh.. wait because that's harder right? and black people are always known for taking the easy way, right? Is that it?
    Some of you are straight up idiots because you're getting on Elisabeth and calling her out for being Republican, outspoken and stubborn. But she makes a good point. I can only imagine what a foreigner who's visiting the U.S. for the first time and hearing two black people use the word N*gga must think. They are probably thinking, "wow, these black people are really stupid".
    Instead of talking about Elisabeth how about discussing the ISSUE AT HAND.
    People only do what you allow them to do to you and by allowing the word N*gga to continue to dominate our culture, that only takes us a step back instead of a step forward. You agree that we live in two separate worlds : black and white. So how is this bridging the gap?

    its so sad that ignorant blacks on this site who has know idea about black history is justifying the use of the word n****.
    Elizabeth seem to be the only person with a ounce of intelligence and compassion about eradicating the word from use by everyone, Whoopi is so far to the left anything contraversial she is likely to promote. Sherri is just a big time idiot,and her views on the show is to exagerate black culture negatively. They both stated that since they are comedians they should have the use, so we try to ban the word from rappers and its ok for comedians. Its also sad that they keep saying they are talking for black people AND THEY ARE NOT, BUT NOW WHITE FOLKS THINK BLACKS ARE IDOT THAT SAYS THIS WORD AS A WAY TO GREET EACH OTHER. I think whoopi should be kicked off the show for saying the n word so many times.

    dem1001
    Macky you are right. The reason that black people as a race are at the bottom of the totem pole is because they allow themseleves to be put that way. The way we allow stereotypes to continue is by continuing to remain ignorant. And yes, the reason that everyone in the audience was quiet while the discussion was going on was because they probably couldn't understand how those two black women could be so dumb.
    To say that we are putting the word in a positive use is nonsense because the history of the word is ALWAYS behind it every time it is used.
    And what's also messed up is that those of you who see no problem using the word, probably have children and use the word N***a in front of them - only continuing to perpetuate the stereotypes about the black race.
     

    ThatsTee2
    To each his own with using the "N" word. Oh, how proper we have become now in society. We can't even fully say the word; we've given it an acronym. Anyone who believes that the word is buried, lives in the land of fools. It's one of those words that has many meanings to many people. Unfortunately, the repeated use of this word by the Enslavers has damaged Blacks so much that most of our Black men feel they have to turn to a different race of woman to feel accomplished. They hate Black hair, Black skin, Black thickness. Essentially, they hate themselves. I loved Whoopi's explanations, but it is a fruitless battle to try to get anyone other than the "once victims of this word" to understand using it.

    Those of you who think Whoopi was right to go on a rampage against Elisabeth obviously didnt see the show. I saw it and she was not trying to use the word in any way. She said she was against the word, and wanted to know how do we get rid of this word. Barbara was the one wanting to know why she couldnt use it, as if she doesnt know. Elisabeth was pretty much trying to ask what I ask about the N word all the time. "Why do we "WANT" to own this word as a form of endearment.I think Whoopi is way too opionated and she irritates the hell out of me. and Sherri plays the airhead so much that she cant even be taken seriously in a conversation

    Lizzy is a Republican with her views. However, I totally disagree with Sherri Shepard and Whoopi. They act like they speak for all blacks in the U.S just like Al and Jesse.

    Lizzy was right. Why should some blacks use that word as a terma of endearment and then turn around and not want someone else to say it? That's a damn double standard and if they get called the "N" word so be it.

    The way Sherri Shepard answered Barbara Walters was down right unprofessional and disrespectful. Will she be asked to come back? Babs just asked her a question. It didn't deserve a response like "I don't want to hear it come out of your mouth!"

    I'm black, didn't grow up hearing the "N" word at home or in my community. I don't say it in my home around my children and I don't want them using it.

    There's no way on the this earth how any one can explain using that term and are ready to fight a non-black for using it too. It's like a parent telling his child not to do something while the parent is doing it and setting a bad role model.
     

    focus
    I also believe its a generational and educational issue too. Those who educated truly know their history and civil rights know the deep meaning of the "N" word and know they don't want to hear that word used at home, in rap songs or by any one else.

    I agree with your comment 100%! That Elisabeth child is not thick-skinned enough to deal with the wide range of issues that are discussed on the view. The execs need to get rid of her. I know damn well that the N* word was used in her house...half Polish/half Italian...I know they used it quite a bit!
