Dr Laura For the last couple of days I’ve been waiting for someone to write something about Dr. Laura and her use of what we call the “N” word. I’ve been waiting because I would like to see some dialog and discussion about it both pros and cons, and I know if I write it there will be very little comment about it. Let’s face it she used it 11 times while talking to a black woman. Then after the conversation was over she continued to rant about it. Why didn’t she tell this woman to make her husband tell his friend to shut up with the racist comments? I have heard her tell white women that about comments their friends make, so why not in this case? I remember watching Monday Night Football when Howard Cossell said something like “Look at that monkey run.” And guess what, he lost his job. There was no apology good enough to save that man’s job. I also remember the big deal made about what Don Imus said, which also cost him his job. And there have been others that have stepped over the line, but it’s hard for me to recall one person that has gone as far as Dr. Laura. Will they take her off the air? Or will it be overlooked as so many on the right are over looked. Glen Beck has called Obama a racist, but I have yet to hear Obama use a racist slur or make a racist remark, and it would seem to me if he was a racist then he would have an all black cabinet. I see signs where this man is call a Nazi, a racist and a socialist, where they have him made up in “White face” and the list goes on and on, yet there is no evidence that this man is anything but a man that was elected to the highest office in the land at a time when there were more problems to be dealt with than any other president has ever had to face. He has every Republican doing everything they can think of to destroy his Presidency, the vote against everything he proposes, en mass. And nothing is done about it for the most part the media is silent about how obstructive the Republican are and how that obstructionism is harming this nation. So I tend to think the the Right wing is getting a free ride just as Reagan got a free ride. Charlie Lockett Here’s a link to the rant |
