you all know I think Sherri Shepherd is one dense lucky moron. Shes like Star Jones without a formal education and clueless on American history and geography
SO..For what it's worth, Barbara was reporting on a story . . . not CALLING or REFERRING to anyone as an N-word. So even though Clueless Sherri didn't like "how" she was saying it, she was using it in the same way that Whoopi had used it. But it made her upset.
Obviously, Barbara doesn't go around dropping the N-word like she's some ghetto rapper or something. She and Whoopi were both using it to report on a story in the news.
The conversation was centered around thecontroversy surrounding Rick Perry and a hunting camp he leased. The camp's entrance contained a rock with the term "Niggerhead" on it for many years. The Washington Post broke the story of the rock, and presented conflicting narratives about Perry's knowledge of the rock and his efforts to get rid of it.
Goldberg used the n word (which was silenced throughout the conversation) first, while talking aboutHerman Cain's use of the word during a Sunday interview. It was when Walters used the word, though, that things got awkward. "It's very hard for me to say," she said. "...It gives me chills." Goldberg said it was useless to "pretend" that the word didn't exist. "Let's call it what it said!" she said.
It was here that Shepherd cut in. "When I heard you say it, it was fine," she told Goldberg. Turning to Walters, she continued, "I didn't like the way you said it." In explaining this, Shepherd used the word several more times.
