My god I know its cold in New York but how many layers does Whoopi have on in that picture? She gotten bigger then a house.

thought it very interesting how Sherri listed other cultural and racial epithets such as “WOP” as words alone…but then let “Jew you down” roll off of her tongue. It was not an apt comparison to awful racist names.. It was not just a word, but a cultural and religious stereotype and anti-semetic put down.. which took it a step further. It made me think that this was a saying that she was quite comfortable with.

OK…..how does the conversation on The View get so off the actual point…..a republican presidentail candidate and his family own a hunting ground that has the title of “niggerhead” at the gated entrance. That is the real story!!! How is it that America still feeds into such outright hatred.

there are a # of ridiculous things here. 1st, this land is leased, not owned by Perry’s father and mother for a number of years, then, he leased it for a # of years. They never owned it. When the Name ‘N*ggerhead’ was painted over, that is the question, and oh yes, the name seeped through the cover paint. (ANOTHER controversey, Rick Perry does not know the proper paint to use to cover offensive graffiti! ) Anyhoo…. How long has this ‘hunting camp, with it’s name, existed???? Meaning, the word ‘N*gger’ was used as a NAME FOR ANIMALS, and other things in the 1800s. It was just another word for BLACK. Horses, dogs, whatever, got that name. It was not really offensive until, what, 2 decades ago? So, possibly, the camp was named, BLACKHEAD… hmmm, not that appealing that way either…. a clogged pore… Whatever, again, he does not OWN THE LAND… take it up with the OWNERS and ask THEM -who NAMED IT, WHO PUT THE NAME ON THE ROCK AND WHEN???? As for the Word, it is beyond MORONIC that anyone that is not black cannot say it, but BLACK PEOPLE CAN….. Don’t you think it is confusing to young kids, both white, brown and black? It is the same way with gay terms,…… okay for them, not for straight. You know, if the word is offensive, NO ONE SHOULD BE SAYING IT, it just shows ignorance on the part of the person. And Sherri saying she did not like Barbara saying it, in the context of the article, but it was okeedokee for Whoopi, just shows what an uneducated, ignorant person she is.

If today’s youths and others really understood their history and the connotatio­n behind the n- word, they would perhaps think twice before using. I am reading and studying the turbulent 60′s and slavery before and after. And I will tell you, I am learning things I never knew and appreciati­ng what I have learned and still learning. KNOW your history. Not just read it but know it and understand it.

Why is it ok for a black person to say the “n word” and not other races? its a word and whoever it comes out of it has the same meaning. So why dont we all just not say any racial words and not offend people?

Im Latino, we use Negro all the time. How else do we say Black. Not Oscuro=Dark Or we say “Moreno” that can be used to descrive a black person or a Latino with a dark skin. Infact Dark skin latinos are often called Negro by there girl friend, wife mother or anyone realy close to the person. Some times even the women too. Latinos come in two colors Piel Morena=Dark Skin and Piel Wera=Light Skin. You know Wero, Gringo they almost look like there white folk. Little known fact about Latinos: Dark Skin Latinos dont mingle to well with Light Skin latinos and like wise. Ask around.

Why are only the whites whining about the word?

Southerners just moved their hate from blacks to whoever they find that’s different from them. Then go on Facebook and act very sweet and religious.

Sweet also is dishonest.

Wow, I think that was a little racism on the View today…

Sherri is a very ignorant woman and brings nothng to the view but her racism. She would not be missed by me. I hope Barbara does replace her with someone intelligent.

Good for Barbara instead of saying the N-word like every body in the media does she actually had the ball to use the word. People act like they have never heard the word nigger before. when they hear it they seem so schocked. Turn on any rap music and it comes up 100 times a song. If u would read the true meaning of the word, if it is still in the dictonary, it means a person of or with ignorance…. so there are alot of that around of any color

Not all southerners hate sound like hate southeners HMMMMMMMMM Is this Sheri

sounds like u hate people from the south…… Is this Sheri…..
