Race War Leaves Hasselbeck in Tears
We haven't really been paying close attention to "The View" since Rosie left -- but if Whoopi Goldberg keeps making Elisabeth Hasselbeck cry over the use of the N-word, we'll tune in more often.

91. One other thing......a word is only as vile or disgusting as the context it is used in. Any word that stands alone by itself is harmless. Only when it's directed at someone or used to describe someone in a demeaning or negative fashion does it become vile and disgusting. And that concludes MiloYambag's English Lesson for the day!

93. For all you WHITE people who don't see why blacks can use and you can't it's rather obvious. The N word was created by the white as a derogatory word to describe blacks. That is the only reason you need as to why WHITE people can't use that word because you created it to demoralize and degrade a whole race. But I do not agree with black people using it either because it's hypocritical if you ask me. Black's hate the word because it reminds them of segregation, yet when they use it they further segregate them selves. They know that it is not allowed for whites or other races to use it and therefore the only reason they use it is to set themselves apart (i.e. segregation). They are doing exactly what they were fighting against for the last 300 years. We all need to rise above and forget the word period. And I am sorry but for Elizabeth to sit there and say that we all live in the same world is ridiculous. Where live you go from Chevy Chase to Southeast D.C. you feel like you just got just entered a totally new world. That just proves that Elizabeth knows nothing outside her over privileged Beverly Hills type lifestyle.

94. we have the united negro college fund, we have hispanic history month, we have martin luther king day, we have black history month, we have cesar chavez day, we have the naacp, yet if we had white pride day we would be called racists.
There are over 60 proclaimed black only collegesin the us. But if there was a white only college, we would be called racists.
You are proud to be Black, Brown, and Red and you're not afraid to show it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
Why is it that only whites can be called racists

96. I never agree with Elisabeth. That said - I do think she's in an incredibly difficult position on "The View." She was brought on to diversify opinion amongst the women. The other women often gang up upon when she simply offers her opinion. She's made to feel emotional, upset, out of control, when she is often just passionate about the subject at hand. She is interrupted more often than anyone else on the show. She's not in an easy or popular position. As I said, I never agree with her, but she is an American citizen and entitled to freedom of speech in our country. I admire her convictions and tenacity. Most people in her position would've left the show. The usually wonderful moderator, Whoopi, didn't encourage dialogue or discussion today; she simply shouted Elisabeth down. I was disappointed.

98. Wow. Absolutely the FIRST and probably the only time I will ever agree with Elizabeth H. Sorry, Whoopi. You can't keep dragging in the past if you want everyone to look to the future. Look at the Holocaust, and I capitalize that word. I'm sorry but that atrocity trumps any other that has ever been perpetrated by human beings, including the slave trade. Jews have made sure the world will NEVER forget, remember their murdered families, live with the psychological murder that many of the survivors carry with them today and have learned to MOVE ON....... MOVE ON AND CLEAN UP YOUR SIDE OF THE STREET!

99. Today's show was particularly bad and not just because of Elisabeth and her ridiculous rant and fake tears!
Sherri's crassness and stupidity are as hard to take as Elisabeth. Sherri made a complete fool out of herself again with her remarks and EATING CHEESECAKE LIKE A PIIIG! Sherri Shepherd has no manners and really should be forbidden from eating anything whatsoever in front of the camera. It is utterly vile and disgusting. She sets a terrible example for any kids watching at home. Her stupidity is shameful and she is not one bit "cute" as she seems to think. What a horrible example of a black woman! Sherri has a poor character as she tells how she violated confidentiality in the law office where she worked and snoops on every boyfriend she has had or might get. She said the very first thing she did was "go through their stuff!"
Many guests on "The View" appear to hate Elisabeth too. The other day there was a man on decorating tables and HE IGNORED EVERY QUESTION ELISABETH BUTTED IN WITH IN HER RUDE, SCREECHY, RAPID SPEECH! Good for him! I couldn't believe when she interrupted by saying she liked some flowers he was using and then asked what kind they were. He just completely ignored her as if she wasn't there LOL! More should do that and then maybe Elisabitch will finally get the hint that she IS NOT LIKED NOR WANTED and will stay home with the brats she has inflicted on this world. She can then cry, rant and carry on as much as she wants to perhaps an appreciative audience.

100. Yeah, I'm sure WHoopi lives in the same "world" as the black people she's defending in this country. My guess is she lives where all the white people live, yet she can preach to someone that she lives in a different "world" But the same neighborhood, lol. What a hyprocite.

101. You do know that it was white people that invented the "n" word don't you? And you do know what was meant when the word was used? White people have no right to tell black people (in 2008) that if they can't use the word, then the word should not be used. Yes, white people cannot use the "n" word and Black people can. Now if you don't think it's right, remember yall brought the word to town. This is the result of coming up with the demeaning word in the first place...Black people dealt with it so you deal with it.....and no, you will never understand

103. Whoopie and Sherri should have said its not okay to us the N word,, EVER, How does it get to be OK for them to use it when its convenient, but no one else can, that is is ludicrous! And Sherri saying oh dont take that away from me,, I can use it,, cause Im black and whoppie same,, is sorry excuse. That in itself is racist! They are the ones that 's holding the N word hostage and if anyone else says it, they are after them like white on toast! I dont get it, really,, that makes no sesne!
They need to get over themselves! I turned it off, as soon as I heard Sherry say that,, I thot,, im not watching this fiasco,, it can only go down hill from there! If you want people to NOT say it then YOU shoulndt either and SHAME ON BOTH OF YA!

104. It is amazing,
All the blacks shouthing it isn't right, Elisabeth is wrong, we've come so far, yet you still have race problems, and feel attacked, EVERY MOVE, EVERY WORD, EVERY LOOK. YOU'VE COME NO PLACE AND WHOOPIE IS THE WORST OFFENDER, BEING SHE NEVER WAS A SLAVE AND LIVES IN A WHITE MANS WORLD( I'M TALKING RICH) AND A MANSION. Give me a break! BLACKS SAY WE'VE COME SO FAR, BUT THEY SURE DON'T ACT LIKE IT, AND FROM THE BOARD, TALK LIKE IT, WITH JEST FOR SPELLING.
I SMELL DOUBLE STANDARD, ONE DOESN'T SAY, IT, WE ALL DON'T, WHO MADE PICK AND CHOOSE SOME CAN SAY IT, AND SOME NOT. EITHER WE ALL SAY IT, OR WE DON'T. I SUGGEST WE DON'T AND ELISABETH WAS RIGHT, AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH, AND THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE ALL SO AFRAID OF. NOT ONE CAN SAY IT, AND THE OTHER CAN'T.
PEOPLE.............................DOUBLE STANDARD, TO COME TOGETHER, IT IS THIS WAY, OR NOT AT ALL. GO ELISABETH.
