‘The View’ Panelist Scolds Barbara Walters For Using N-Word; Different When Whoopi Says It

Double standards were on display in full force during an amazing conversation on Monday's "The View" centered around Herman Cain's reaction to reports of a rock with a racial epithet painted on it in Texas. Panelist Sherri Shepherd had an emotional reaction to Barbra Walters when Ms. Walters used the word while discussing the story, yet Whoppi Goldberg used the word over ten times during the same conversation.

Also, Ms. Sheppherd seems perfectly comfortable using the term "Jew you down" and says she would only not use it around someone if they told her it made them uncomfortable.

In light of today's report from Big Government about candidate Barack Obama marching with and sharing the same stage with Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panthers, will "The View" have an impassioned discussion about the President's vile association with that known racist and anti-Semite?

Affirmative Action rules clearly state that Blacks legally have more Rights than Whites in the United States of America.

To Blacks, Affirmative Action rules would include Rights linked directly to the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Blacks, for the most part, do not view this as a problem.

Blacks didn't like "separate but equal" as a policy but then insist on separate treatment when it comes to language, particularly which people can use which words.
And we can already guess the kinds of excuses and justifications the View harpies have for the NBP party's racism: "Black people CAN'T be racist because they don't have the power to carry out racist policies." (Despite the Obama administration and Barack's tacit approval of their means.)

In Barbara's defense, she has been known to sleep with Black Men… Therefore under liberal logic, she can use the N word.

mackycat   October 3rd, 2011 - 9:55 am

When are people going to get over it. Its a phuckin word. Just like any other. It's root means black. It's a bunch of syllables and sounds. Only black people can say it?

The only black people I know that feel that way are racist. Pots meet kettles.

Futhermore, just about every goddamn race or people in the world has been enslaved by another race or people at some point in history. Guess what? We all got over it and moved on. The fact is that we have been apologizing and bending over for black people for far too long now. They now have privilege and rights that other people in this nation do not. There is a congressional black caucus. There are black college funds. There is black entertainment television. There is still an NAACP. There are the black panthers. Black this and black that… If white people did what black people do today, WE WOULD BE RIGHTLY CALLED RACISTS. I know it sucked for them. But we as a society have moved on. They haven't.

tatankachief   October 3rd, 2011 - 9:55 am

So, I wonder if Sheppard or THE WHOPPER share any grief over such words as 'CRACKER OR WHITE BREAD'. And if Walters is sitting between the two ebony LEVIATHANS I wonder if use of the word OREO would be offensive. Oh no!! I've done it now, my TV is fading to BLA………………………………………………………….

RightUnite   October 3rd, 2011 - 9:56 am

Well, then I don't think black folks should say WHITE CRACKER, because I don't like how Black People say the word….

Now, doesn't that sound incredibly STUPID?? For crying out loud! It's a friggin word! You people need to stop being SOOOOO FRIGGIN STUPID!

Thinker822   October 3rd, 2011 - 9:56 am

The primary reason is that white people didn't spend their first 250 years on this continent as property.

I'm sick and tired of the "I can say it but you can't" racist remarks. I don't care what they call me because I know who I am. Ever heard of, "STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HARM ME" saying? If a white person is just saying what they say or heard IT IS NOT RACIST. It sounds to me like they are the racist.

August 8, 2011

Dear President Obama,

Well. I think tonight I will get hammered and watch a funny movie. If the world is going to go to hell and a hand basket for a while why not at least enjoy the ride I say. “Blazing Saddles” seems like a good choice . . . ever see the movie? Great movie. The story goes something like this. A town in grave danger from government hired thugs is being terrorized. So the good towns people rally, and debate, and then after some real good frontier gibberish put out the call for a new Sheriff to save the day. Well, their call for desperate help is answered. The Sheriff refers to himself as a n – - – - – Can’t say that word, even as a joke anymore; funny how that happens? After a very funny scene that bit of racism is dealt with and a pie is exchanged as tacit thanks for the Sheriff having a great start at the tough job that lies ahead. Long story short he teams up with a desperado, whose good with his pistol, and they have a grand old time beating back the bad guys and a corrupt government.

You see Mr. President that’s all the TEA Party really is. Just a bunch of people who realize they are being ripped off. We put the call out and we need a new guy or gal to protect us from the feds who want to tear up our towns, if not our entire States with the final cornerstone of liberalism and wars fought not for Victory, but insanity. We do not care what color they are or what gender they are just so long as they can shoot straight, and get the job done. Because, brother, who ever told you you could be President I recommend a lawsuit for malpractice. You can call the American people as a witness. I request permission to be the first testify. I will quote from memory chapter and verse about how not only did you not do the right thing, you through some level of insanity, unbeknownst to even the medical profession – made it all worse. In fact if you and Jimmy Carter start building houses for Habitat for Humanity I recommend that the structure be condemned even before the occupant moves in!

Blazing Saddles is a fantastic allegory of what we as a nation face with you as President. The TEA Party are a bunch of regular folk who want to keep their town free from government interference and desperately want to be left alone. Yet, the corrupt government will not comply. On November 6, 2012 we will elect a new Sheriff, I for one am praying that the Sheriff is from Alaska and is wearing a skirt. I’ve had more then enough of Republicans getting scammed into thinking that a RINO is Presidential timber for anything other than kindling.

Respectfully,

Joe Doakes

GobBluth   October 3rd, 2011 - 10:08 am

I guess we'll never get to see a faithful adaption of Huck Finn again, what with a white Huck not being able to refer to his friend "African American" Jim. This is just ridiculous. Last time I heard a white person use the word on TV was an episode of South Park. Even Bill Maher won't utter the word on his HBO show

pdirt   October 3rd, 2011 - 10:10 am

One of the stupidest concepts in the world is the idea that we have come such a long way that the "N" word is saddled with the worst possible stigma that our culture can possibly attach to it, and yet the victims of this terrible traumatizing weapon now say that it is OK for them to use it as a term of endearment. What a crock of unmitigated B.S.

quivive   October 3rd, 2011 - 10:14 am

The n-word doesn’t make blacks inferior anymore than it makes them superior. It is an antiquated word that disgustingly was used to keep our good neighbors down. Using the word without malicious intent is no more wrong than using the word God. It’s only a word, but those who use it for ill should be severely scorned by all of us. It is also the reason we should rail against progressives when they call conservatives racist. It is way past the time to move on.

"Originally owned and sold by other Blacks and then eventually freed by honky, crackers in the most costly, terrible, and destructive war by far in the history of the USA. "

Yes, because this country unanimously decided to free the slaves. All the white people were in total agreement on this.

Originally owned and sold by other Blacks
————–
That's not completely true."There are many factors that led to black slaveholding. One was the desire of free blacks to purchase their family members out of bondage. Until around 1800, it was legal for white slaveowners to manumit their slaves, for whatever reason they wanted. However, in 1800 in South Carolina, the legislature began putting restrictions on the manumission of slaves. Additionally, there were restrictions that required freed slaves to leave the state . Therefore, free blacks would often purchase their relatives in order to allow them to remain in the state"
