Dr. Laura Schlessinger is wrong. Just because comedians , HBO, or any other person, black or white, uses the "N" word doesn't make it right. If we wish to become a society that wants to aspire to it's lowest common denominator then yes she would be correct. I do not. I always want to try to better myself.
As far as her claiming black people voted for President Obama just because he was black was racist in itself. Of all the black people I know and discussed politics with voted for him because he was their only viable candidate. Yes, they were proud to have someone they could embrace. Black people weren't blind, they saw the racist coming out in droves to the McCain/Palin rallies. Most white people didn't vote for them much less black people. I also don't go around asking my friends what or why they do something based on their skin color or race. I know there are going to be cultural differences and I accept that, not question it at every turn. People say dumb things like "why do black people like fried chicken or watermelon?" when I eat more fried chicken and watermelon than any person I know, black, white, or purple! We can and should discuss race in this day and time but it should be done in a sensitive and tolerant way and Dr. Laura Schlessinger did neither. Just because she is smart and educated doesn't make her always right.
