	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!

	all that damn drama y the fu*k is she cryin...not necessary...whoopi was makin some good points tho

	Good job Whoopi!!


Politico
	@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

	I'm just a bit curious.The Magazine HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP reported her profiles were found on the famous wealthy dating club ***M eeT Ri C H. C O m and she was seeking her new guy there now! BTW, The girls there are really hot!

deadlyboredom
	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


305sBADDEST
	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.


milkchoca
	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.


TskTsk264
	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.
	--------------- U Lik A B*tch W/ No A$$ U Ain‘t Got $hit

destchild09
	Why white people always want to know why they can't say the damn word? They need to learn to just let [EXPLETIVE] go


MsSavannah912
	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

	She needs to get over it, I can't stand Elizabeth she is so closed-minded she pretends to be open-minded but the words that come out of her mouth says otherwise.

MsSavannah912
	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 CRACKERS 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."


pinkloy
	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!

	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.


kimpeach
	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.

	BUT US BLACK PEOPLE ARE USED TO CALLING OR MANS OR OUR PEOPLE [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE]...WE DO IT ALL THE TIME AND DONT REALLY THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL A WHITE MUTHAFUCKER SAY [EXPLETIVE]....[EXPLETIVE] IT AINT NOTHING WRONG WITH US AS BLACKS SAYING [EXPLETIVE]....THE ONLY REASON WE GET OFFENDED WHEN WHITE PEOPLE SAY IT IS BECAUSE OF THE SLAVERY THAT WENT ON WAY BACK AND NOW WHITE PEOPLE SCARD 2 EVEN SAY [EXPLETIVE] BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS NOT RIGHT OR IT USED 2 B NOT RIGHT WHEN THEY WERE DOGGING OUR PEOPLE BACK IN THE DAY...BUT THEY KNOW THAT [EXPLETIVE] NOT GOING ON NOMORE SO IF THEY SAY [EXPLETIVE] NOW.....

	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.


sexCmodel
	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.

	personaly i dont take affence to the word [EXPLETIVE] if some 1 black says it it dont really count we have that sort of relationship since we r both black but if some 1 white says it i wouldent care its up to me to be affended or not by caling mme a [EXPLETIVE] you dont define who i am i have no insecurities about being black .. i am black and loving it


quiet_storm
	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 cracker!" 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.

	Real Talk...all of us have used it and some of us will continue to use it whether good or bad. It is embedded in our culture unfortunately. 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!

kimpeach
	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”.
	--------------- Everything is so peachy!

	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 Ngga. To say that we've turned into something positive is bullsht. 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.


1205
	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! CRACKER ASS CRACKERS


Dutchess1
	@FELONY'S HOBBY "And whats up with Elizabeth with this We Are The World shít? She needs to bring her lily white áss to the hood or the barrio and see how the other half lives." PLEASE! When was the last time Whoopie visited the hood. She has lived a life of priveledge for the longest. Yeah Whoopie is right, we do live in tow different worlds in America - RICH and POOR!


ladyGAdawg
	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!!!!

She refuses to see outside the box, which she feels she holds. I know some N1ggas and sometimes I act like a N1gga... wouldn't you like to be a N1gga too?

	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 is SO dumb. Good Lord. Those were some really poignant statements "quiet_storm".

	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!!!!!!!!!!!

	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!!

	i agree with eleizabeth on this one but i also feel this way. if white people want to know why they cant use it but black people can (not should, but can) its the same reason i can call my sister a bitch & you cant...without me sockin in yo jaw. we're family & i can say somehting to my family that you just cannot...without consequences. period.

	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!

	damn i never realized how powerful the "n" word is for people . me personally , i dont use the word on a daily basis but i do use it when im singing a song or talking to my best friend . 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 . ps : that Elizabeth chick was right on some things ; so was Whoppi .

	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! Let the stupid [EXPLETIVE] have their way with it, you'll be hearing it less and less.

	I think we use the word to show the white people, hey what you meant as a disgrace we have turned it around & took the power away from that word....but it is power still in that word, because as soon as a white person calls us the N word we are upset.So, it really does not matter if we are calling each other the N,word that does not count. 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.

	I have a new found respect for Whoopi. I thought we lost her years ago. And Sherri was telling it like it is. 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. I get tired of whites playing the victims now. We have always been and will always be the victims! And I still have great respect for Rev. Jesse Jackson.

	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. Not fair!!

	Im glad that someone finally got on her talking bout we live in the same world no we dont whites dont even know what is going on in this world when it comes to race they think that everyone got it easy when in reality we are all divided because of skin color meaning if u not white u got it hard and its a shame i smdh anyway she dont need to be on the view she always takes comments personally and is sometimes closed-minded


imabadchic
	NEESHAB..the only bitch is you. FYI- Elisabeth is an educated woman who was also on other program besides Survivor. She's a talented designer who has hosted other shows prior to the View. YOU on the other hand have to be trash to be putting your pic up next to the garbage you write. YOU are part of the reason why the word Ngga will never go away- because people like you cant see the real issue at hand- instead of talking abt the word you have to go personal and attack Elisabeth. You can't rationalize. I don't mind btch- but I cant stand an ignorant b*tch.


imabadchic
	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 Ngga. 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 Ngga, other than we've "earned" it.


karma1624
	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. WE ARE BLACK AND U ARE NOT!!!!! PERIOD!!!!

IF IT'S NOT OK FOR WHITEY TO CALL U THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE OK FOR A BLACK PERSON TO INSULT YOU EITHER! HOW CAN WE DEMAND RESPECT FROM OTHER RACES WHEN WE STILL DON'T RESPECT OURSELVES AND DON'T KNOW BETTER TO KNOW IT'S NOT RESPECT OR "ENDEARMENT"! COME ON PEOPLE!

	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 Ngga. 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 ngga 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
