Dr. Laura: I Have a Black Friend! And a Gay One, Too!

[Swede]

Yeppers,sure.

Let's ask the question other news outlets are too afraid to ask: Why are angry activists trying to censor Dr. Laura's point of view, which is that white people should be allowed to say the N-word all the time? (As civil-rights activist Sarah Palin put it: "her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence.") Who would try to censor the point of view of a woman who has a black friend—and a gay friend? A woman who clearly has a deep, nuanced understanding of race in America?

1. I'd like to talk to the black friend and gay friend.

Perhaps their definition of "friend" is different than Dr. Laura's?

Black "friend" = housekeeper
Gay "friend" = interior decorator

They are both her "friends" because she pays them for their services. They probably hate the woman because of what she stands for.

(Yes, I know the occupations I mentioned are stereotypes. I just used them to make my point in the context of Dr. Laura viewing them as friends, not saying anything else.)

2. I really doubt that Dr. Laura has a friend at all. Who the Hell

would want a friend like her?

3. Gee, Dr. Laura ~~ I know someone who is black AND gay...

...would you like to meet him so you can put all your "other type" pals into one person?

:sarcasm:

4. Hey, if she could find a Black gay friend ...

she'd only need to have one friend. Given her personality, that would be less of a strain.

5. This lady. Really.

She's is gobsmacklingly, jaw-droppingly ignorant. There's no other way to say it.

6. Dr. Laura is now officially irrelevant. And the dope doesn't yet realize it. nt
