Elisabeth Hasselbeck, The View Panel Debate Use of N-Word
Rosie O'Donnell may be off The View. But she didn't take all the show's controversy with it.
On this morning's episode, Elizabeth Hasselbeck broke down in tears during a discussion about under what circumstances the "N" word can be used appropriately. Take a look at the heated debate now
Whoopi Goldberg, an African-American, said: "We use it the [word the way] we want to use it," but Hasselbeck was soon brought to tears, asking:
"How are we supposed to move forward if we keep using words that bring back that pain?"
It's a sensitive topic. React to the video and to the issue now.

This "N" word.........Today it is all political, money making business. It is rampant through-out movies, music etc. A true disgrace to our country & the world at large!
This is NOT what (Martin Luther King Jr.) Message to Washington D.C. was anything about! I LOVED this MAN!
I also LOVED LB Johnson......... Most of all the
United States of America!! and ALL HER PEOPLES!!
Elizabeth only stated teaching children not to use this word? Starting in her home, with her own children.
Elizabeth....continue to teach your children self respect, for all people of color this means white also.
(Martin Luther King Jr.) Would be very proud of you.
Your beautiful tears reflected your soul and love.
Teach children to Pray for the neighbor next door, it maybe purly exceptable, even considered enduring? Reminder of the White/Black Man? To use these demeaning names "N" & "C"
This is child abuse, the child hears a very different message. (Starting with shame for himself or herself) in

I dont care WHO or WHAT you are. If Americans dont want double standards or segregation based on color or beliefs, then NO ONE should use the word. Whoopie says its because of history. History is about what used to be, not what is NOW. If we want to move on, get along and live in harmony, then "double meanings" need to stop. Words such as this need to be eliminated or EVERYONE should be allowed to use it.

I was curious about the Hasselbeck hype...so...I logged on to read about the latest mess. I work during the day and I don't buy into all the Hollywood propaganda. I considered taping the "View" on my DVR when I heard there may actually be more than one view on the show. I have zero respect for the "ladies" on the show, and all the working women I know think the show is liberal trash. I love my country and I'm tired of Hollywood bashing our country and the people that are VOTED into office. Their lives are messed up and their decision making skills are lacking. The informed, educated, hard working Americans are the silent majority. We are sick of pompous, immoral "stars" trying to influence our children. Elizabeth, start your own show...I will tape it...as will numerous hard working Americans. Do you really care what Barry Manilow or Alicia Silverstone thinks?? Hey...maybe Katie Couric will replace you and we won't have to see her at night. I'm not surprised liberal Hollywood wants Obam

i never use the word and don't like anyone using the word. that is so weird to me, cause when i think about, i always teased my mother about being a limie, english. i suppose it depends how the word is used and who is using it. the word should not be promoted, but the newfies went through lots in their days.

I never watch "The View", I'm one of those stupid patsy's that actually goes to work everyday to support my family...However, I know enough about the show and the hosts to advise Elizabeth to heed the Biblical admonition to "not cast (her) pearls before swine".
She is the ONLY person on the show who has any sense whatsoever about life and reality and the other three are an (ugly) bunch of liberal, brainwashed, pompous, self-important harpys.
She's wasting her time and (unfortunately) giving the other three FAR more credibility than they deserve or could garner on their own. Gallant effort sister but you need to pull the plug on it!

Gosh! I didn't know there was so much HATE torward another person (Elisabeth)... I thought that is what this country is trying to move past! The whole point of the 'View' is for each woman to state their opinions and talk about them. No one is to say if each are right or wrong! Isn't she entitled her opinion? All the other women aren't getting slammed because of what they think...
