Last night, Joy Behar filled in for Larry King and had Fran Drescher on the show. The conversation somehow turned to the whole "N" word drama on "The View." That's when Fran asked Joy a question about Elisabeth, "What's with the crying? Is that how she wins battles with her husband?" No, because I doubt her husband talks to her annoying ass anymore. He just shrugs when she asks him a question and then shuffles off to his office to watch porn.

Of course, Elisabeth Hasselcrack couldn't keep her cunt hole shut about Fran's comment. She called into the show and said, "I was busy watching Hannity & Colmes and wanted to pop in and see you Joy. And I had to express my disappointment in Fran. You speak about women's rights and you certainly wasted no time in cutting another woman down....." I have no idea what she said after that because I only heard the sound of wet queefing.

I'm surprised Elisabeth didn't turn on the fake crocodile tears for Fran. Can't someone have a damn opinion without Hasslebrack moaning about it?

With the other stuff, I just think that if you move to a country where there are people who can't walk, its not very fair to complain that ramps are unnecessary because no one from your country has that problem - you know what I mean?

I understand your point, but ramps for the handicapped are a solution for a current physical problem. I'm not saying that NO white people should be apologetic, just that not ALL of them should be obligated to be.

I'm not talking about apologies. Just about being sensitive. You wouldn't have to be so sensitive if the past had been different.

and MamaCat:

You have obviously missed MY point completely. I think it's rude to say that African Americans are whining about slavery. They are not. They are "whining" about the injustice and oppression that STILL exists in America today.

And I did mention the many memorials placed all over America with regards to the holocaust. Can we tear those down now because the Jews are so "over it"?

Before anyone misconstrues my paragraph earlier…yes, the jewish people suffered and suffered greatly. I never said that they didn’t. Not only Jews were killed in the holocaust….gypsies, homosexuals, retarded people, etc. What I was getting at is the fact that you do not hear them constantly whining and complaining about what was done to them in the 40’s. You will not see them marching. Every thing they do is with upmost reverence. You missed my point completely.

I am not about to move on to the next “subject”, ie gays and illegals. What someone does in the privacy of their own surroundings is their business…not mine. An illegal bothers me no more than any other person. There are way too many other issues to worry about other than a word and that’s children in America going to bed hungry every single night, animals being abused and the elderly being abused on a daily basis because they have no voice. I don’t lie in bed at night not being able to sleep because I’m worrying about someone saying the “n” word but I sure do lie awake at night thinking about some child hungry, a dog or cat similar to my four legged babies being harmed and some elderly person lying is piss and doodie. It IS something to think about isn’t it? TYped quickly....I apologize for any booboos.

Yes, I am first generation in the U.S., but I'm not saying down with reparations altogether. I mean, if one doesn't find it necessary to use the ramp, one can always still use the stairs without complaint.

@YMAT:

I totally understand what you're saying. It's really hard to cover such huge subjects in this little forum. I am restricting my arguments to the use of the "N" word in this case. "Well-to-do Black Folks" in America (I'm editing now because I read it more fully this time) tend to avoid that word like the plague. They also take a LOT of flack from both sides of the game.

I can't think of one culture that hasn't had it's ugliness at one time or another. It is my hope that we can all raise ourselves above it.

The sins of the father are passed down to the son, no? Whether your family had a slave or not, it's still a civic duty to right the wrongs of the past in any little way that's possible.

--------------------------------

Good morning, Angel i...I've gotta respectfully disagree with you here. I have been told many times that ALL white folks in this country should be obligated to right the wrongs done to the African American slaves centuries ago, but I sincerely disagree. My family emigrated from different countries: My mother's side from Germany/Russia in the early '50's, and my father's side from Morocco in the 60's. I'm first generation in this country, so how can I bear any responsibility towards slavery? That's not to say I bear no sympathy--I was born Jewish and can parallel the discrimination against both groups--but I'm not taking any flack for something neither my ancestors, nor I, did.
I also find it ironic that everyone's quick to point fingers at white people, only. What about the more well-to-do dark-skinned Africans who sold their own people to the British?

@MamaCat:

Jewish people seem to be still pretty affected by the holocaust. There are events and museums all over the place. I find that an interesting argument to make. I don't think anyone's over that yet, either. There's also the fact that they didn't suffer (well, not like that) in America.

And the other stuff - I would love for people to just get over it too, but obviously it's not that easy. The sins of the father are passed down to the son, no? Whether your family had a slave or not, it's still a civic duty to right the wrongs of the past in any little way that's possible.

"Studies have shown that generations in an underprivileged family continue to be underprivileged. African Americans in this county really are still behind in this race because of that whole slave business way before you were born. You're right, we don't stand a chance in hell if we can't be aware of certain plights and act with compassion. Of course you didn't enslave your friend, but the people that made this country you enjoy (possibly your ancestors) DID enslave his ancestors. " from a previous poster.

If my ancestors had a slave, and I doubt they did, what does that have to do with me, my daughter and my future grandkids. Are we forever going to be held responsible for what happened eons ago?? Do Jews constantly nag and whine about what happened to them in the 1940's and if anyone has the right to nag and complain, it is them. Do they march and demand attention?? How many people murdered? 8 million ?????

It's 2008 for God's sake. Get over this shit that happened so long ago. Move on. Everyone wants to move on this and move on that..Get the fuck over it already !

"I would think you would all be on the same page as Hasselbeck but it appears you have let your intolerance and hatred supersede your logic."

Wow, you're right. Having to share the stage with two black women (though only one is sentient) clearly makes her a latter-day Charlayne Hunter-Gault and not the journalistic equivalent of a Miss America contestant giving her facile take on racism for the sake of face-time.

I think a closer appoximation would be fellow out-of-her-league frosted blonde dipwad Deborah Norville, who also had her phoney, boney ass handed to her by another eloquent brunette -- in this case Jennifer Beals -- when she advised the kiddies at home to turn away during an interview segment with Beals (on MSNBC!) about "The L Word" during which a same-sex kiss was shown. This is the same Norville who didn't want any "Heather Has Two Mommies"-style books in her precious little kids' school.

Hassie's and Debbie's "rationales" are really the same. It's not familiarizing the young ones with difference that gets their tear ducts flowing; it's their lily white fear of having to be anywhere near it that triggers their very public and very embarrassing Mommy Knows Best seizures.

angel_i's picture

The reason a woman like that becomes so passionate about a *word* is because she's, likely, had to live with racism her whole life. She probably has to go back and fight with her grandpappy about it. Do you think her family has ever shared a casual meal with a black family? I'm willing to bet they haven't. The reason it bothers her so much is because she's not over it. She knows she feels differently about people of colour; most likely she is awkward, filled with guilt as the voices of various members spouting racist remarks about this or that fill her head.

We are a society that's all about vengeance and debt-paying but this is not an issue of debts being paid, it's simply an issue of letting go. White people cannot use the "N" word. Even when black people use it, it's a way of saying "oppressed"; "we are brothers in oppression". They are acknowledging this oppression still exists.

Where I grew up, we talked smack about each other cultures all the time, there were so many different cultures and kids will be kids about all kinds of things but there were still lines we didn't cross. The "N" word was a no-no. Even black people wouldn't be saying that shit.

To me, tho, it's just a word. It doesn't cause me any great amount of pain, really. But then, it's not being flung at me as a statement of my value.

At the end of the day, as long as our hearts our pure and just we can fling around just about any word we choose. Unfortunately, we're not there yet and so, if we are smart, we will live according to this weakness and avoid the disappointment that ignoring it might cause.

I'm far more offended by the idea of a white woman crying over the use of the "N" word than I am seeing fuckingclassy type: "Nigga, please." That's a joke and I get it.

But Hasselcrack, if she wants to be the harbinger of cultural peace in America, needs to just say what she means, which is "I grew up with racism and it doesn't make me feel good. It causes me to know that we need to be vigilant about such things." and then STFU. Crying about it just incites pity (not cool) and sets the feminist movement back 50 years.

Sexist bitch. Anyway, after my incredibly run on sentence, why are people intolerant cause they complain about Hasselbeck expecting everyone to agree with her?

Most of you Hasselbeck Haters are intolerant idiots. If you had bothered to go to the CNN site and listen to the entire 6 minute clip, Joy explains why Elisabeth was crying over the use of the N-word. Instead, you "forward thinkers" would rather vilify the woman who doesn't think anybody should use that vile word. So from your collective reactions should we assume this word is part of your every day conversations and you would indeed teach it to your children? Or do you just hate Elisabeth and are so intolerant of her conservative views that you didn't even listen to what she had to say? I would think you would all be on the same page as Hasselbeck but it appears you have let your intolerance and hatred supersede your logic.

The fact that Elizabeth called in just reinforces that she takes things too far, and over-reacts and doesn't know when to shut up. And when she can't keep on blathering on, or realizes that she is losing the argument, she gets emotional and just goes to proof how much she is NOT qualified to be on a show where it is key to know how to argue and present your "view".

And her logic is always really bizarre. Here she takes this as an insult against women. This wasn't a knock against another woman. It was a knock against a MORON who just happens to be a woman.

I agree. I'm white and I do think some white people like to think everyone has had the same treatment and opportunities in life in this day and age, but for african americans, it was long before any of us were born that your opportunities have been severely limited. Someone like Elizabeth, an upper middle class republican christian caucasian has NO idea what it feels like to be persecuted and held back. I'm sure every opportunity she's ever desired (reasonably) has been doable in her life. College, a career, a family you can afford to support, and a healthy bank account. Fuck, even health insurance - plenty of people don't have that, do you think she's ever gone to the ER and gotten a $1200 bill for antibiotics so she won't die?
I honestly in my gut don't think she cares at all about black people or the N word hurting them, she's always been a parrot and since society says it's "wrong", she overacts so it seems she has strong ideals. She doesn't though - her arguments are never from her heart, they're words she's heard on fox news and is repeating. Whatever view the republican christians have, so does she.

You have to understand that things work so differently in Hasselbeck's world: when someone like Rosie O'Donnell -- who is also a mother but not the blonde, pert, hyper-femme sort of Mommie that Hassie's beloved New McCarthyites consider a "real" woman -- is put under the microscope for far more insidious purposes, she's supposed to defend herself because she has it coming to her. When Gidget turns on the waterworks and has a hissy fit because the mean girls don't like her or because she's retained some Victorian reflex that causes her to swoon when bad words are uttered, only then is the Sisterhood supposed to galvanize in her favor with lots of hugs and "Sowwy" head-patting. Y'know, all the things that feminist icons and everyday ladies expect and receive all the time.

Much as the original comment was dumb, it's disingenuous to pretend stereotypes aren't rooted somewhat in truth. The key is consciously not letting yourself make snap judgments about people based on their skin color, religion, gender, etc. because it may not be true. Stereotypes are to be avoided because they're not universally correct - but they are a lot of the time.
##################################################

Actually, I am on board with your "where there's smoke there's fire argument". In fact, it would be ridiculous not to concede that stereotypes do have their roots in the truth. What really gets to me is the perception that it's okay to stereotype certain groups because you want to sell more crappy T-shirts (hello?? Reluctant Whore, anyone??).

Lol, yeah, many are, and Hasselbeck is certainly of them, but I've actually probably met more "unvile" Republicans than I have people that didn't fit the other stereotypes Karen Flatts mentioned. I just hate bad people, whether they're Democratic, female, white, whatever.

Again, on board. I just hate bad people who try to sell their crappy t-shirts by posting bullshit advertisements shrouded as comments.

Does EVERYONE GET IT THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE BEING ASSHOLES TO SELL T-SHIRTS?

Sorry, the LA in me just came out. I apologize--it won't happen again.
