Oooooh. Things get heated on The View when the ladies discuss the N-Word.

I’m not saying I 100% agree with her, but I must say: I f*cking love Whoopi Goldberg! Seriously! I love that woman LOL! I know I’m totally missing the point, but I just had to say that.

Re: the debate…hmm…well, I always find it hard to have an opinion other than “that word shouldn’t be used”, but I think that’s mainly because I’m not American. I understand that cultural/colour divides are much wider over in the States than they are in London [of course I'm suggesting those same divides don't exist here, but am only saying they're not as wide (IMO)] and so, it’s pretty hard for me to related to the reasoning behind using that word… 

What you sayin?

Peace, Love & The View

    For once I agree with Elizabeth on the word. Yeah, I'm not black BUT people are too sensitive and quite hypocritical with the word. And it's impossible to discuss it b/c well, Whoopi or what's her face on the show, will always "win" the argument.

    TO WHOOPie
    I am a white man and I am not racists
    And if whoppie Goldberg wants a segregated language; as she spoke about yesterday .. that only black people are allowed to use certain words.. then we all should be able to go back to segregation – seperate but equal – seprate but equal… this is what she really wants … To me she wants segregation and if she says its ok to segargate a language or words, the why stop there??? lets bring back segration.. we all should be able to do it
    I may never vote for a black person now because of her …
    I am not a racist – I am a white man … but if thats the way she wants it then so be it – I am following the lead of whoppie Goldberg and the Rev of god… Master Jackson and master Sharpton
    You want polarized society well now you got it – I will start from this day on
    Thanx for bringing me to lite

    I have to say, I agree with Whoopi. By taking the term back, you get rid of it's power. We are doing the same thing with our comedy in NYC, "feminazi", (the n-word for women). By creating an uber-German feminist, we are taking this derogatory word used against women, and rendering it powerless.

What Do You Think?
