Remove this ad But on the flip side, most people "reporting" the situation would have used the term "N word" as opposed to just blatantly saying it. As long as Babs has been in journalism she should have known that unless she needed to say a direct quote, she could have avoided the actually word and people would have still known what word she was referencing. Her excuse that well "because Whoopi used it to report the story, I now feel comfortable saying the word since I'm reporting" was poor judgment on her part. Whoopi (regardless of her race) is NOT a credible journalist so I was in awe that Babs cited Whoopi using the word as a justification for her to use it.

I'm on the West Coast, by the time it aired, it was 'bleeped,' for both Babs and Whoopi. This controversy makes more sense now. BUT I believe that by allowing a derogatory word to have power it empowers you.

What do you mean, "How I said it"? You think I was talking about someone? Now, if Babs started cackling or some shit like that, I'd have understood. But

It was bleeped on the East Coast too, just about the whole discussion was bleeped because no one stopped using the N word.

But, I took it as it being a term that isn't offensive in your own 'circle,' but is terrible if somewhat else uses it. Like Mike the Situation from Jersey Shore saying he got super pissed at someone who was a non-Italian and not a Guido calling him a dirty Guido and how offended he was. But, Barbara was NOT directing it at anyone. But, neither was Dr. Laura and she got put off the air because of it.

Sorry, but both are offensive, but I don't think one should be allowed and other not. If that results in banning so be it.

Because in many Jewish circles, Rabbis and other Jewish leaders taught us that certain words are offensive no matter who says it. I agree with the poster who said you can't have it both ways. Once you give it a negative power over you, it's there forever. Something cannot be both negative and positive at the same time.

She's a hypocrite. And not an inteligent one.

Of course she has another person to support Last Edited By: MsJulieR 10/06/11 03:19 PM. Edited 1 times.

She's a hypocrite. And not an inteligent one. When Sherri was asked about the fact that blacks use it, then why can't whites, she said that blacks took the negative connotation of the word and made it their own. As, when she says it, or any black for that matter, it could mean a form of camaraderie or 'endearment,' as she put it, and it has a negative connotation whenever a white person says it. I don't necessarily agree, but I see her point. I used to get annoyed when gays called each other queens, studs, and f.ags but it was forbidden for anyone else to say it. But, most of the time it was used humorously. Basically, as I said before, certain slurs are offensive to those who are outside that circle. So, I think that's the point sherry was trying to make.

Remove this ad .....f*cking white people can't understand anything they haven't experienced till you spell it out for them. You know how when you're hanging with your girlfriends and it's ok for one of them to say "Heyyyyyyyyy, Bitches!", but if some random guy did, you'd stab him? It's like that.
