Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?

Partial transcript, via HuffPo:

CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?
DR. LAURA: It depends how it's said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it's ok.
CALLER: But you're not black, they're not black, my husband is white.
DR. LAURA: Oh, I see, so a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.
CALLER: I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the n-word, and I hope everybody heard it.
DR. LAURA: I didn't spew out the n-word!
CALLER: You said "nigger, nigger, nigger," and I hope everybody heard it.
DR. LAURA: Yes they did, and I'll say it again: nigger, nigger, nigger is what you hear on HBO.

It's a double standard, no matter how you slice it. The political correctness movement has made it acceptable for black people to say it, but no one else. Everyone knows this! And, when people like Dr. Laura point it out, the sensationalists in the world jump on it like stink on an elephant.
