THE RACE ISSUE: VOLUME 121, ISSUE 150
NIGGER, WHY SO SERIOUS?
by Malik Isasis
Yet another rightwinger stoked the hate, vomiting racial bile into the toxic political discourse over public airwaves. Dr. Laura Schlessinger, a homophobic, self-righteous pop-radio-psychologist, who has no mental health background (she got her PH.D in physiology), began berating a caller after the caller stated she believed she was a victim of racism by her husband's family and friends. The caller is a black female, her husband is white.
Dr. Laura, knowing that she exercised poor judgment, later editing out the segment you just heard.
There you have it...a white supremacist blaming a black woman for being hypersensitive about being called a nigger--oh, and it's fine because rappers do it---oh, and black comedians on HBO do it, too. Rightwingers shit and throw bombs and blame others for the damage, and have absolutely no shame in promoting themselves as the antidote to the petulance they leave behind.
One last thing: using the word Nigger outside of educational purposes is never okay, even for the colonized mind of the African American rapper or comedian.
