How Was Dr. Laura's First Amendment Rights Taken Away?

In her world, the first amendment means no one is allowed to disagree with what she says. She's kinda nuts if you haven't noticed.

Personally, I put Dr. Laura in equal league with Dr. Phil---fabricated media stars that truly DO NOT merit their current fame or salary from their media fame; they both are whack jobs I won't cry sad tears, should they drop off the TV and/or radio show biz for good. But I do have to agree with Dr. Laura: There is a brazen racial double-standard BLACKS have regarding ( and I HATE to use this politically correct term ) usage of ( wincing here ) the "N-word". Simply put: It's OK for BLACKS to spew the ( wincing ) "N-word" like hash out in THEIR free speech---and verbate further RACIST words regarding WHITES!

But society also holds that it's NOT OK for whites to have equal FREE SPEECH USAGE OF ( oh, gawd...here we go again ) the "N-word"! Dr. Laura is correct on this fact. Either society allows WHITES EQUAL approved use of the "N-word"---or society should demand BLACKS stop using THAT word, too.

On the side of logic and civility, I opt for the latter---and I'm NOT alone. Myrlie Evers-Williams, ( yes kids: she IS BLACK ) widow of slain NAACP leader, Edgar Evers---also feels BLACKS should STOP USING THE "N-word". She has an admirable---but laughable---means of trying to secure this goal.

But I DO respect Ms. Evers-Williams for the guts to take a stand on this issue---when we don't see Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrahakhan, Oprah----or even Obama---join her in this brave crusade. Here's the link, should YOU be interested in supporting Ms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
