Dr. Laura Schlessinger has joined a growing fraternity of celebrities going on racist rants. Well if you can call her a celebrity I had totally forgotten about her until I remember she said some controversy things about gays a number of years ago. I didn't know she was a right winger well like a lot of right wingers she hold some ignorant views about black people check out the video. [YOUTUBE]h9bYuDl6P3g[/YOUTUBE] To me the N word isn't the worst thing she said the terrible things she said are the assumptions she have about black people. Of course she has come out with a apology of course now she has said she is retiring like all right wingers she want's to be a first amendment martyr. She was on Larry King just playing the victim and I wonder to my self how could a educated woman like this hold such ignorant views. Dr. Laura unfortunately represent millions of white Americans that feel the exact same way she do. Now Dr. Laura have 9 million listeners she has a lot of influence on how people think. The right wing media especially on radio have been attacking blacks for years and my people isn't even conscious of that fact. Now the right wing have T.V along with the internet and of course one of the main targets in the progressive movement is black people. And we wonder why we face so much racism in this country why we are stared at in department stores or harassed by the police or even denied employment from employers. Former shock jocks and Howard Stern wannabees Opie & Anthony have millions of listeners check out how one of the host feels about black people.

And yet black people aren't even aware of this racist guy spewing all of this hate about them. I think Rachel Maddow says it best. [YOUTUBE]qgvBdlD7xUk[/YOUTUBE] All I can do is point the finger first at myself I to have been complacent concerning this kind of media that actually affect our lives. The reason for a lot of hostility towards blacks in this country is because of right wing media. All our young people care about is the new Rick Ross mix tape or JayZ concert tickets. You think young Jewish people would allow this to happen the Anti-Defamation League would be all over it. If it isn't FoxNews creating a false story to flame racial fears with the new black panthers or Ted Nugent on Alex Jones using code words like welfare brats to describe black people. it's no wonder we face so much hostilities and of course black folks could care less.
predjudice on the right and left Wow! I had heard about "Dr. Laura's rant, but I had not actually heard it in it's entirety until now. The woman (hopefully) temporarily lost her little racist mind. I have seen the woman (Jade) who called into the show, and heard her side of the story. While I personally would like to think that this is an isolated incident that is not the norm, I do concede that (in my own experience) more and more people are attempting to take on the arrogant dismissive attitude "Dr. Laura" exhibited. The good news at this site is we are the normal people who accept people as they are. (ok, most of us seem to accept each other) It's too bad that "Dr. Laura" has been bitten by the racist bug. And, by the way racism in NOT the domain of the so-called right wing. Ex president, Beelie Bob Clinton is nobody's conservative, yet speaking of then candidate for President Obama, Beelie Bob was recorded making the comment: "just a few years ago this guy (speaking about Obama) would have been fetching us coffee".
She's half. Her mother is Italian. I see what you're saying, but don't take her racist bullshit and right wing rhetoric to be a the poster child for Jews.
Sorry about the broad brush. It's just amazing that Jews like her and Howard Stern could be so anti-Black. They don't like to be shit on..but boy do they love to shit on Black people.
