Race War Leaves Hasselbeck in Tears

61. my parents are latin, we dont use the words, Spic, or Wetback, not even in jokes, because the word is OFFENSIVE!
Black people look real bad when they use it,or when they think its ok to use it. STOP USING IT, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT SLOWLY GO AWAY, YOU ARE BEING HYPOCRITES WHEN YOU USE IT!!! YOU SOUND IGNORANT AND STUPID WHEN YOU USE IT!
White people should never under any condition use the N word!

62. James, you are wrong. Joy Behar has an MA and was a teacher before entering showbiz.

63. A civilised debate on race and the "N" word just can't be had on the View without a
breakdown, I don't know why Elisabeth blew a gasket and then broke down in tears other
than to garner sympathy from her supporters. This is one of many arguments that
Elisabeth has lost because she cannot maintain an intelligent conversation even if she
has a good point to make like in this one. Both Whoopi and Elisabeth had good points
in the conversation but Elisabeth lost, this goes to show she is the kid in the adult table.

64. Hum lets see Whoopi - You make millions of $ per year, live in a mansion, get celeb priveleges left and right yet you want to play the race card?! Pllleeeaaassee! We do live in diff worlds. I am white and poor and you are black and rich!

The N word is a filthy word that her mother and grandmother probably vowed their lives to have elminated from the English language FOREVER!! And for her to justify its use because some rappers made it "popular" is immoral, unethical and soooo unintelligent. She is letting the bad part of a culture dictate what is right? So she must think calling women bitches and ho's is perfecty ok also.

WHOOPI YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE. YOU WERE NEVER A SLAVE. YOU LIVE BETTER THAN 95% OF THE POPULATION IN THE WORLD!!!!! GET OVER YOUR ISSUES OR GET THERAPY!!! America is sick to death or race card being played by rich blacks!!!!! When is the last time you stepped foot in Africa and adopted an African child????? Funny how is seems to be caucasians coming to aid of hundreds of black children. Sure Oprah has done alot and I commend her for it but she hasnt invited one to live in her home and be raised by her. Its very easy to throw money at problems - alot harder, alot, to deal with them head on.

Whoopi has no problem getting paycheck from a white man while she gabs with the white women everyday but is first to bite the hand that feeds her. Pathetic.

65. heh, funny, so far the only negative comments I've read about Elizabeth H is that she's republican ... not because she said anything as ignorant and triflin as Whoopi.

66. Look, I don't like Elisabeth or agree with her on any political matter whatsoever, however, this is one time that I agree with her. Why can't we ALL just retire the "N" word permanently?! It's a nasty word, whether a black or white or Asian or middle Eastern or Hispanic or ANYONE uses it! It is unfair to continue to say that black people can say it, but no one else can. I think it sounds gross when a black person says it, too. If we want to move forward, and become a nation of unity and equal rights for all, then let's drop words like this from our vocabulary. It's time to move to a higher place of understanding one another, instead of hurting each other with words.

67. CLEAN UP RAP CRAP FIRST, THEN WILL TALK, HOOKERS IN SWIMSUITS, PIMPED OUT JEWELRY, BAD WORDS, KILL THIS AND THAT, THE N.............WORD IS ONLY THE ICING ON THE CAKE OF LIFE PEOPLE!

68. Watching her FAKE cry isn't enough to get me to watch that pablum. However, if Whoopi were to get up and beat the crap out of her, I would be a lifelong fan.

69. PEOPLE WHO CAN STAND HASSELBACK, BECAUSE THEY KNOW SHE IS RIGHT!

70. I DONT LIKE THE N WORD, I DONT USE IT BUT BLACK AND WHITE THROWS IT AROUND WHEN IT SUITS THEM. VERY FEW WHITE PEOPLE CAN TELL ME THEY NEVER USE THE WORD WHEN THEY GET ANGRY AT A BLACK PERSON, OR USE THE N WORN IN THE PRIVACYS OF THEIR HOME WHEN THERE ARE AROUND FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN AROUND WHITE FOLKS AND THE N WORD WAS BEEN DROP LIKE HOT CAKES .AND EACH TIME I WOULD HEAR I AM SORRY I DID NOT MEAN YOU. SO WE CAN ALL BE HYOCRITIS.I CANT FIGURE OUT WHY ELIZABETH AND SHERRY IS ON THIS SHOW THEY ARE BOTH DUMB WOMEN, DONT SEEM VERY BRIGHT. WE REALLY NEED A CHANGE OF THESE TWO. WHAT A CRY BABY ELIZABETH NEED TO CUT IT OUT. I THINK SHE GOT WORKED UP FOR SOMETHING ELSE. MAYBE SHE WAS CLOSE TO HAVING HER PERIOD OR TODAY WAS THE START OF IT. BECAUSE THAT WAS NOTHING FOR HER TO BOO HOO ABOUT.SHE IS NOT A NEGRO AND SHE LIVES IN ANOTHER WORLD ,PARK AVE. AND THE BURBS. SO YOU AND SHERRY NEED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB WE DONT LIKE EITHER OF YOU. BRING BACK ROSIE BARBARA.TONY DANZER AND DEBRAH ROBERTS.

71. WHOOPIE, IF SHE WAS A SLAVE, SHE IS LIVING THE HILTON WAY!

72. #38 is right on. And it is an absolute double standard.

73. I do see where both are coming from..but when you continue to use that word in "your world", why would you get mad when it is taken into "other worlds". I don't understand as to why most black people want to continue to seperate them from other races. Yes, years ago they were seperated, and they are the only ones that continue to seperate themselves. I normally do not agree with Elisabeth, but in this case I do. Whoopi, you seemed to be smarter that this.

74. 12. The Left Democrats have been using the tactic of 'Race Baiting' (with all races), because they can Not win on their true Socialist ideals.

75. Elisabeth obviously is a very spoiled, greedy money-hungry individual. She and her husband just sold their apartment FOR MILLIONS and the most important thing to her is appearing on tv for the attention and money she gets and NOT HER KIDS as she so desperately tries to portray herself as a good mother. NOT! Same goes for Sherri Shepherd! These women are both complete idiots and need to be off that program if it is to be saved, along with Joy Behar! They are both raising what sound like obnoxious spoiled brats and the world does not need any more of those.


Why the sponsers don't boot Elisabeth or the View off the air is beyond comprehension. These complaints about the hated Elisabeth have fallen on deaf ears way too long so sponsers, take note. Your products are being boycotted and the money will be spent on gas.
