says 'nigger' By Mickey Sartre, News Lampoon cub reporter
Whoopi Goldberg, however, thinks "nigger" is cool. She said "nigger" over and over again last week on The View. "Nigger" this and "nigger" that. Sherri Shepherd, the other black woman on the show, someone I confess I had never heard of before this whole "nigger" debate, called "nigger" a "term of endearment" and said it is alright for her to say "nigger" but does not want to hear "nigger" come from Barbara Walters' mouth. "Nigger"--please! Let's all stop using "nigger"! For the record, Walters did not say "nigger." Barbara Walters would never use "nigger." Elizabeth Hasselbeck was excoriated for saying no one should say "nigger." "Nigger" made her cry. A week or two ago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson was caught by a "hot" FOX News microphone saying Barack Obama has been "telling niggers how to behave." This is what spawned The View's "nigger" discussion. In short, Jackson caused the whole "nigger" problem. "Nigger" has the power to hurt. "Nigger" polarizes, no matter who employs "nigger" for whatever purpose. Goldberg claims "nigger" empowers blacks. "Nigger" empowers no one. "Nigger" brings us all down. Let's move away from "nigger." "Nigger" should be history. |
