I agree Liz is unrealistic, borderline delusional. We may live in the same planet (which is flat according to Sherry), but we all live in different worlds.

It wasn't really a fight, just an emotional and elevated conversation. Not better than the Rosie/Lizabitch fight. Who the hell cares is what I think. Let people say whatever they want. If there are consequences you don't want to live with, then don't say it. Own it.

Notice Joy was quiet during that entire argument, she didn't want to touch that issue at all.

Not that it had a lot to begin with... but until that show, I really thought it was more off-the-cuff. How silly of me now that I think about it. Now that I know they discuss absolutely everything before hand in the morning and that Joy has writers who write her jokes for her, I find my self being very critical of it's honesty. Nothing that comes up on the show is a surprise and it really bothers me when someone brings up a topic or point and they all react like it's new info to them.

Well, actually she is not a dyke, although she looks like one. She is totally straight, and she only prefers white men. She actually has a boyfriend right now, but don't know his name. She does periodically say on the show that she is very happy in her current relationship. She's been linked to a good looking famous director (wish I could remember his name, a Frank something), and most famously to Ted Danson. She lived with Frank Langella until 2001.

That was the worst idea for this show. I cannot stand Joy now, knowing that her "witty" snarks are pre-written for her.

Glad it's not just me... that turned me off also... now everytime Joy says anything I know it's "scripted" and it bothers me...

I disagree with all of Liz's politics but completely agee with her about the N word. It is a deragatory word and should not be used at all. I see Whoopi and Sherris point that they are taking control of the word but it should not be used publicly or privately.

By taking it back they are stripping it of its power. Elisabeth needs to shut the fuck up, as usual, and not try to be the authority on things that are not part of her ethnic culture.

Black people should cry and whine for racial equality but then claim exclusive rights to the word "N*GGER" just because they are black. I guess if Whoopi only dates white guys, then it must be tough living in different worlds and being together at the same time.

Posts: 2901 (07/18/08 1:32 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Oh, I agree with that too. If black people are going to use it they shouldn't whine or be surprised if a white person uses it too. But I cannot agree that the word should be forbidden forever. That's retarded, and unrealistic. Like I said earlier today...people should be allowed to say whatever the fuck they want and be prepared to suffer the consequences whether they be good or bad.

Posts: 5213 (07/18/08 1:47 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I agree 100% with Whoopie here; I can only imagine how blacks back then hear nothing but that word; it must be painful and degrading. If you can't stop the white community from saying that word, then use and own that word, it makes that word less painful. Granted that almost nobody uses that word anymore, there are still people in the back community old enough to remember how it was so that word stuck. I don't see the big deal why they shouldn't be using that word. How do you teach the children? Teach them that you are not allowed to say derogatory remarks to minory and ethnic groups you don't belong to but others may be able to use it. If your kid asked why, then explain to them why. That is how children learn acceptance and tolerance - by understanding what is the meaning behind those words. Simply telling them NOT to say that word does not teach children why some words are bad.

I don't really watch the show and therefore did not see it and don't know the debate. As far as the N word goes..it's wrong no matter what color you are. I hate how black people feel like they can say that shit but freak out if a white persons says it. It's either said or it's not..and it's wrong no matter what.
