It hurts me to say this, but I agree with Vetteman on this one. Or really he agrees with me, since I said it first.
Keep her on the air. Let her either apologize or take her lumps. Get guests on to educate her. Let someone tell her first hand what it meant, in the south, for a rich white woman to call a black person "nigger." Let them call her a racist to her face, and let her either own it or denounce it.
Not only would it teach us how to deal with race a bit better in this country, but the ratings would be through the roof.
The stations always get this wrong. Stop firing them. Instead, put them on in primetime and let them face an audience.

You don't seem to understand what "ratings" are.

I certainly do. I don't think you do. Nor do I think you understand how this business model works.

Samuel L. Jackson To Obama: 'Nigga...Get Scary'
Outspoken actor says out loud what all black folks say under their breath
Whether he's locking Martin Luther King's father in a building during a protest at Morehouse or getting rid of "these muthaf*ckin' snakes on this muthaf*ckin plane" Samuel L. Jackson is never afraid to speak his mind.
So when he was asked what he thinks President Barack Obama needs to do if he is re-elected, the actor spoke on it the only way he knows how.
“Obama ain’t scary at all,” Jackson says in an interview with Ebony. “N****s don’t have beers at the White House. N****s don’t let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A n***a would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?’ I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, ‘cause he ain’t gotta worry about getting reelected.”
Prior to that, he admitted that he only voted for Obama because he's a ni**a he was black

Jesse Jackson Shows Hypocrisy By Calling Blacks, Niggers.
Recently Jesse Jackson created a major firestorm with his stated desire to mutilate parts of Barack Obama's anatomy. Fox News held back other remarks that Jackson made, which have now been reported by TVNewser. Jackson called black people niggers.
The TVNewser reports that they have received a partial transcript of remarks made at the same time as Jesse Jackson made his other disparaging remarks about Barack Obama's anatomy and they say they have received confirmation from Fox News Channel representatives saying the transcript is authentic.
The portion shown in the original video was where Jackson had said that Barack Obama was "talking down to black people". What wasn't shown was the remark made after that.
The full remark was, "Barack...he's talking down to black people...telling niggers how to behave."
Bill O'Reilly, went on Shep Smith's show, The Fox Report, and stated that a “weasel" leaked it to the internet, so he will address the topic on his show tonight on O'Reilly's show. He claims they left it out of the original report because the "trashtalk" wasn't aimed at Obama, so they made an editing choice to only include the portion that was aimed at Obama.
This brings back up a situation in 2006 when Michael Richard's, who played Kramer on the popular Seinfeld television comedy show, called members of his audience at a stand up routine, niggers, and Jesse Jackson was very high profile in insisting that the word not be used publicly or privately due to the offensive nature of the word.
In fact, Jackson called for a boycott of all entertainment media that used the word.
Jackson also asked the public not to buy a DVD box set of the seventh season of the TV show “Seinfeld” that was released last week. Richards played wacky neighbor “Kramer” on the show, although Jerry Seinfeld would be hardest hit by a boycott of the DVD.
“Yeah, but he is a Jew,” Jackson said.
Jackson also called on a boycott of all entertainment media that uses the “n-word.” Among the items on Jackson’s blacklist are:
* The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, which includes the character Nigger Jim, a runaway slave
* Blazing Saddles, which featured prominent use of the “n-word”
* Magnum P.I., starring Tom Selleck, a Republican, and featuring John Hillerman, who also appeared in Blazing Saddles
* Redd Fox Uncensored, which included the routine “Colored People”
* Bicentennial Nigger by Richard Pryor, which includes the routine “Mudbone Goes To Hollywood”
Richard's also appeared on Jesse Jackson's radio show "Keep Hope Alive" and apologized as well as made many other appearances and many other apologies. On that program, after Richard apologized, Jackson went on to say, "A simple apology does not deal with the depth of the trauma. The first step is to acknowledge you're wrong. The second step is to be contrite about it, not arrogant. The third is, it takes time to regain or earn trust, and that's where the healing process begins."
Jesse Jackson used the incident with Richard to call on the entertainment industry to ban the n-word, including rap artists that use it in the lyrics, actors and major television and movie studios.
This campaign, led by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton was felt in cities around the country, with s New York city council banning the use of the word in an attempt to eradicate it. The resolution they passed didn't even include the word, they simply referred to it as the "N-Word". From New York straight to Texas, where a Mayor proposed making the punishment for using the word a crime equal to disturbing the peace and punishable by a fine of up to $500.
This brought about tremendous criticism, with Chris Rock, a black comedian telling Reuters in an interview, "What, is there a fine? Am I going to get a ticket? Do judges say, 'Ten years, nigger!' "
Jesse Jackson made this as high profile as possible back in 2006, which brings up the question of hypocrisy.
Is it hypocritical for Jackson to have tried to get movies, books and the entertainment industry, as well as the general public, to ban the use of a word that he, himself, utilizes?
Shep Smith brings up another interesting question in the video at the top of this piece, and that is with the amount of times that Jesse Jackson has appeared on television, it is strange that he would say such things knowing that the microphones are never turned off while attached.
Something to think about.

A BUS
BUT IT DIDN’T BUY HER IMMUNITY: Alleged racist Paula Deen gave lots of help to Barack Obama. “Paula Deen is a horrible racist who has never had a progressive thought in her life because who would ever use that term to refer to a minority in this day and age? Why, she must be one of those Republican, church-going, hatred-supporting vote suppressors we’re always hearing about! Which would probably be accurate if she didn’t happen to be close personal friends with the Obamas. . . . I have a feeling someone in the White House is checking Open Secrets right about now to figure out which campaign checks they need to send back.”

It seems important to the right that their right to use the N word to describe people of other than white skin be protected. I hope that some of them offer to fund a Paula Dean lawsuit for wrongful dismissal and to take it to the Supreme Court as a first amendment issue, rather than just to say, "X did it too" on the internet.

no one should give a shit
when one word is restricted for use (by only one side) more words will be and soon MOST words will be
WHO TEH FUCK CARES WHAT WHO SAYS?
No one should have to care, but reality and the ideal rarely cross paths.
The first step towards the camps is to change the way people speak of those you wish to legislate into sub-humanity. The N word is no different - by using it, you hope to dehumanize your targets in the minds of your listeners and to associate black people with the pre-1860 black man (a slave, a property) or with the 1891 to 1960 black man (an ignorant dangerous fool, a criminal, a primitive).
It is about thought control and dehumanization and that is why it is wrong.

I don't
I don't use it
I have chastised PEEPS that USE it
BUT
Anyone that wants to use it, should be allowed to use that word and any other word
One word=two words=three words=many words
