Ladies of The View

Some people applaud Hasselbeck for her stance that it is not OK for anyone to use the n-word, but others say that she is ignorant for not knowing the difference between a black person using the word and a white person using the word. Also for not recognizing that there are context when it is, and is not offensive.

    I think Whoopi was dead on. Yes, by taking back the term you put it into your hands, and use it the way you want to. We are doing that very thing with our comedy in NYC, the "feminazi", (the n-word for women). We have an uber-German feminist running around looking for sexist pigs. In this way, we have addressed a very derogatory word that is continually being used on women and rendering it powerless.

    If everyone can't use it, I don't think anyone should.

    Blacks got the vote right after the Civil War. It was subsequently taken away from most of them in the South by making all voters pay a poll tax (can you imagine having to pay a tax to exercise a constitutional right?), pass an 8th grade literacy test, and other stratagems. This didn't deny the vote to all blacks, as middle class blacks didn't regard the poll tax as a heavy burden, and middle class blacks could pass the literacy tests as well. Even so, it disenfranchised a whole lot of people.
    Women gained the right to vote piecemeal - Wyoming and Utah were very early in granting women the right to vote (1870 something in the case of Wyoming). But nationally it happened with the passage of the (19th? 20th?) amendment to the Constitution about 1920. Native Americans were granted full citizenship in 1925.

    women & blacks have had somewhat similar paths in US in many ways--not all ways of course but many

    I think the blacks need to get past the bullshit....blacks have all the same right as everyone else these days. Whoopie doesn't know what the hell she is talking about....she lives phat and has been living larger for a long time...she has nothing to talk about....So Hasselbeck don't let them brake you down keep your head up and strike back....and don't cry on camera you lose strength and seem weak...
