She&#8217;s apologized, but some groups have called for her to be fired. The incident has reignited a debate as to whether it&#8217;s ever OK to use the N-Word. I can&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s still wrong for white people to use the word given the word&#8217;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&#8217;t say the full N-Word in your comment).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Laura Schlessenger, the loopy, obnoxious, conservative\u00a0radio talk show host crossed the line earlier this week when she used the N-Word several times during a tirade about race.
