Should Dr. Laura Be Fired For Using the N-Word?

Dr. Laura Schlessenger, the loopy, obnoxious, conservative radio talk show host crossed the line earlier this week when she used the N-Word several times during a tirade about race. She’s apologized, but some groups have called for her to be fired. The incident has reignited a debate as to whether it’s ever OK to use the N-Word. I can’t stand Dr. Laura, but I think she should be given a second chance given the context of the incident. She was trying to make a point about use of the N-Word, not calling the caller the N-Word. She was totally wrong in using the word and hopefully she’s learned her lesson. I know that the N-Word pops up in rap lyrics and that some black people use it between each other, but it’s still wrong for white people to use the word given the word’s history. What do you think? Is it ever OK for white people to use the N-Word? Should Dr. Laura be fired for using the N-Word repeatedly? Please comment below (Please don’t say the full N-Word in your comment).

    I don’t like the W word or the B word either. People come in many colors but I have never seen a totally black or white person (OK this one girl I dated back in the ’70s).

    I don’t like so called Dr. L, and she should not have used that inflammatory term even to make a point. I don’t like to hear it ever. I hear both races use that word, and it makes me very uncomfortable. Her comment about “not going NAACP on me” shows her true nature.

  2. All racists should be fired, including this Dr. Laura and that black lady who went off on the white farmer a few weeks back.

    There are ethnic slurs for all races, but none as incendiary as the N word , Dr. Laura
    knew what she was doing , and it probably helped her ratings. racism is a fact of life, people use it to rise above others. some day when the N word is used and nobody takes offense, that day will be the day that racism is dead.
