Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?

Point being, Dr. Laura shouldn't have said it, and she has already publicly apologized and admitted her regret. If we want to insist on the double-standard, go for it, I got your back. More importantly, I strongly encourage the Black Community to quit using it. Many in the BC already feel that way.

I doubt that had she used a Z it would have been ok. It is a double standard. However the point is she was not using the word to be hateful or derogatory. A couple posters posted the word here and nobody blinked..If I quoted a black man using the word on national TV...do you think someone would complain?

If a kid is reading from Tom Sawyer outloud in class does he say "N word" or does he actually say the word? It's gotten so absurd. Race relations in America is not just bad because there are racists but because of people who use race for political clout...which is sometimes exercised by getting a white man fired from his job while allowing another white man to pass because he is a democrat
