THE VIEW..ON THE "N" WORD

ABOVE IS THE EPSIODE OF THE VIEW THAT AIRED LAST WEEK ABOUT THE USE OF THE "N" WORD. I SAW THIS EPISODE WHEN IT AIRED BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVEN'T SEEN IT OR HEARD THE BUZZ ABOUT IT IN THE NEWS CHECK IT OUT HERE. I THINK THAT IT IS A VERY POSTIVE THING THAT THESE WOMEN HAD THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT TOPIC IN WHICH THERE IS NO "RIGHT" ANSWER. I DO BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DIFFICULT TOPIC BECAUSE THE WORD HOLDS SO MUCH POWER. IT WAS EXCEPTIONALLY HARD FOR ELIZABETH HASSLEBACK TO UNDERSTAND WHY AFRICAN AMERICANS USE THIS WORD IF IT CAUSED SO MUCH PAIN. I HAVE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACES BEFORE AND THEY SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE WORD. HOWEVER, I DO THINK THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS KIND OF OWN A RIGHT TO THIS WORD. IT IS VERY HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH CAUCASIANS USING THE WORD. I'M NOT SAYING THAT I AM RIGHT OR POINTING FINGERS AT ANYONE. WATCH WHAT WHOOPI SAYS, SHE KIND OF WRAPS UP THE WAY I FEEL IN A NUTSHELL.
