N Word Hall of Shame Inducts Dr. Laura

Radio talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, is the latest inductee into the N Word Hall of Shame, as the latest white person to think he or she is going to be the one who can say the n word on the air and not end up having to apologize later.

What were you thinking Dr. Laura? Now your bust will be placed right between Don Imus and Michael Richards, apology notwithstanding.

I don’t want to repost the entire conversation that Dr. Laura had with Jade. You can find the full audio and transcript right here on Media Matters, but here is Dr. Laura’s wrap up after the caller hung up.

We have to be able to discuss these things. We’re people — goodness gracious me. Ah — hypersensitivity, OK, which is being bred by black activists. I really thought that once we had a black president, the attempt to demonize whites hating blacks would stop, but it seems to have grown, and I don’t get it. Yes, I do. It’s all about power. I do get it. It’s all about power and that’s sad because what should be in power is not power or righteousness to do good — that should be the greatest power.

No, Dr. Laura, the really sad part is, whatever your motivation, you have shown yourself to be extraordinarily ignorant. You could have answered Jade’s original question why white people in her husband’s family stereotype her, without bringing Obama and black comics and all that stuff into it.

If it makes you feel any better, though, Fikkle Fame believes you are sorry.
