Dr. Laura thinks it's okay to use the "N" word, as long as black men are using it on HBO or in rap songs. She claims if that's acceptable that they use it, she can use it. Well, it is acceptable when they use it. The fake doctor just doesn't get it.As a gay man, I can tell you that me and my friends call each other all sorts of things - "Hey, girl." Or maybe "Where do you fags want to go after this?" Or we refer to one of our friends as "She". This is out of affection and, strangely enough, we are playing with the words that have been used to hurt us for years. But I can tell you that if I am in a room full of straight men and one of them calls me a "Fag" or a "Girl" it will not only piss me off - there will be a huge problem.
So you see, it's the same thing when you use the "N" word. African Americans can use the word in jest or just as an affectionate way to kid with each other. But a white guy can't walk around using it. The same thing goes for comedians. A black comedian can make jokes about people of color. But I challenge a white comedian to do a Chris Rock routine. He will not only bomb, all hell will break loose.
Jewish people can make fun of themselves, but no one will be laughing if an Asian guy starts making jokes about Jews.
So fake Dr. Laura, if you're reading this... NO you cannot call gay people "fags" or "girl". NO you can't use the "N" word. I believe, however, you are Jewish... so have at it.
