Is Nigger OK in Certain Parts, Whoopi?
by Big Dog on Sep 4, 2007 at 18:53 Uncategorized
Whoopi Goldberg made a splash debut on the Gal Pal Gabfest known as The View by defending Michael Vick. If anyone had any questions about whether she will be as controversial as the woman she replaced, this might be part of the answer. As far as I see it, there is no defending a man who tortured animals for sport. We are not talking about killing something to eat or wear, we are talking about electrocuting, drowning, and beating dogs to death. This type of behavior is indicative of someone with a very disturbed mind. Whoopi does not see it that way and said this:
“It’s like cockfighting in Puerto Rico,” she said. “There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country.” Breitbart
I guess under Goldberg’s explanation that certain things are indicative to certain parts of the country we can now stop Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson from holding riots every time some KKK member or other white supremacist calls black folks niggers. It is just indicative of the way they live and beating blacks for sport or dragging them behind trucks is OK, according to Goldberg logic, because the blacks are not viewed as humans in those certain parts.
Whoopi became very defensive back in 1993 when then boyfriend Ted Danson did a skit at the Friars Club roast that had him wearing black face. Whoopi was in on the gag and thought it was a hoot but there were blacks who did not appreciate the stunt. She defended the act noting that Danson had been referred to as a nigger lover for his relationship with her. Whoopi was not happy that people would call Ted a nigger lover and she was not happy that people would infer that the stunt was racist (though it is illogical to refer to him as both a nigger lover and a racist). There are two opposing things here that seem to involve items indicative to certain parts of the country. The black folks who were offended did not like it and that is indicative of the struggles and racism they have overcome. There is also the group of people who come from certain parts of the country that think interracial relationships are wrong. She should not be upset with either group because to one being upset by this was indicative of their parts and to the other not liking “nigger lovers” was indicative to their part.
We could play this all day long. To certain parts it is OK to sell and use drugs, kill people in drive-by shootings, become part of violent gangs that steal and kill, demean women as hos (was Imus just acting in accordance with his certain parts?), have sex with children and on and on. It should also be noted that the Confederate Flag is perfectly acceptable in certain parts but some people come unhinged when it is displayed.
The fact is, regardless of what parts people come from, the majority of people in this country find these acts either criminal, reprehensible or both. This includes the majority of folks who live in these certain areas of which Whoopi speaks. The notion that Vick might have been acting in accordance with the culture of “his certain parts” does not negate the fact that what he did was absolutely disgusting, inhumane and abominable. But hey, if Whoopi wants to defend it, power to her. I find most of the acts to be despicable and contemptuous of civilized society. Only Danson, Imus, and those who said offensive words were actually exercising their right to free speech, regardless of how distasteful that speech might have been been and those sparked a firestorm.
I just wonder if she would accept the argument that in certain parts of the government, torture of our enemies is OK, and allow this argument to dismiss what took place at Abu Ghraib. I also wonder if it was OK for three white racists to drag James Byrd Jr to his death in Texas. Maybe they should have used the “certain parts” argument?
Of course the title might be rhetorical since Goldberg is a black comedian and use of the word nigger is acceptable in that case and in the case of rap artists and blacks to each other. The answer just might be yes…

LMAO, well BD get ready for the Racist emails to rain down on you….I see the logic in your argument MOST right minded folks will too, but you have a few uber liberal readers and they will label you…good luck.
liberals generally have lost the ability to reason…when it comes to justifying diverging “lifestyles” or “viewpoints” or “moralities” each should be left to his own choice and interpretation without infringement by others (e.g. abortion is a personal choice and no one has the right to impose their personal morality on another)…unless it’s their ox being gored (e.g. so i suppose no one has the right to tell another that slavery is morally repugnant and insist they do not own slaves…it’s just a matter of differing moral choices)…idiots all.
Typical nigger garbage…
And typical of Whoopi-t-doo, who with her buck teeth, could eat a watermelon through a picked fence.
The events at grab-an-arab prison were not torture. Just wanna make that clear. And since slavery was just standard in part of this country at one time maybe her argument should be used there too huh?
Good post BD
We are getting far too politically correct these days, that it’s going to be the ruin of our nation. Why, it’s even bad that blacks are “over-represented” in our prison system. Over-represented? What, was this an election and not enough whites were chosen? I don’t get it. Do we just go out and arbitrarily arrest a bunch of white folk to even out the numbers? If they really want to push it, we could make Affirmative Action real law, and force them to hire more white basketball players, etc.
But, it just doesn’t work that way now, does it? It’s only good for other races, but not for whites, who are slowly becoming the new minority.

BD, good logic and I hope it sinks through, though I doubt it. However, I do find the N word both vulgar and reprehensible, regardless of which race or races uses it.

I agree with Ms. Underestimated – well said.
I think some people are overlooking the fact that what Vick did was against the law. Wearing blackface (although distasteful to some), interracial couples (in most states anyway), and the N word are not against the law.
I really grow tired of folks making excuses for people that have done something wrong. We have gotten too far away of teaching and accepting personal responsibility for our actions. It’s always society’s fault, or accepted in “those areas,” or lack of familial support, prattle, prattle, prattle. I grow weary of the blame game and would like to see people “fess up” to what they do, right and wrong. If you are man or woman enough to do something, stop trying to place the blame elsewhere. Enough already.
I also grow weary of the politically correct practices that are further dividing our nation and segregating our races. I have been called many names (most of which would be filtered out if I shared them here) and I have yet to find a state that wants to ban one of them. Is it because I am white? Is that not the definition of racism – to be treated differently because of one’s race/color? I didn’t see the footnote stating “unless you are white.” Of course I could just have the conservative version of the dictionary…
This country has started treating its criminals, ILLEGALS (also criminals), and even prisoners of war far better than it treats the honest hard-working people that are paying for it all. Politicians are more worried about how we look than who we are and how we stand. I believe we are weakened by this everyday.

I think a lot of people don’t watch the Animal Planet ASPCA police shows. They have the dog fighting problem in all of them. It’s not just the good old south. I think Ms. Goldberg needs to look in to it a little more.
If Pits are raised as a normal dog they are great. But just like any other animal if they are taught to fight they will. Pits raised to be family dogs are very lovable. But if you took a kitten and taught it to be agressive it will be. So will a poodle.
As far as Vick, so he found Jesus. I thought he had already done that?
I guess the elite can find Him when it is convienent to do so. It’s like the prison holy rollers. That last about 12 seconds once they are released.
Vick should be baised with meat sauce and thrown in a ring with his best fighting dogs.
Sounds fair.

I’m glad that people are finally standing up for the embattled White race. As Ms. Underestimated says, Whites are becoming the new minority!
Has there ever been a more embattled, put upon race than the lowly Whites of America who have had to endure unspeakable hardships, overtime work without pay, and, as Big Dog pointed out long ago, rampant voter fraud? Whites have been sold down the river time and again by their White Presidents. Their almost entirely White national leadership has betrayed them at every turn like White Uncle Toms to the point where Whites aren’t even comfortable calling a black person a ‘nigger’ to their face anymore! And now we’re expected to pay them fair wages, protect them from housing discrimination and stand up and say something when some good old boys in Texas chain one up to their truck and drag him around the backroads until the guys body disintegrates? What an indignity. You can’t even hang a noose in a tree anymore in an attempt to menace black people. Our White Leadership has sold us out.
If blacks are going to insist that more whites should be arrested because blacks are overrepresented, then whites should return fire! They should demand that more blacks be put in prison for serial murders since whites are ‘overrepresented’ in serial murder convictions.
It’s also imperative that Whites seclude themselves in their gated community ghettos. There are simply too many non-whites who demand equal treatment and it scares Whites, the world’s greatest victims.
Troll, Could you be any more stupid about this? The post had nothing to do with any of these things and pointed out that bad behavior is not acceptable regardless of who you are.
Ms. U is correct, by the year 2050 whites will be the minority race. I think you misunderstand because your density does not allow you to see. We continue to hear tripe like yours nut the facts do not support your claims. Slavery was along time ago. It is irrelevant to today because no one who is alive is or was a slave.
Blacks are not underrepresented unless of course they are being displaced by ILLEGALS. Blacks make up about 14% of the population, do you expect them to make up a greater percentage of any part of society? Except of course the prison population but I guess criminal activity is racist as well. The post office is about 77% black in its employee composition. Should we fire a bunch to get them back to “representation?”
I do not hear you rail about reverse discrimination that is rampant in admission standards and workplace hiring practices as well as contract award criteria for the government.
As for the noose incident, those kids were punished for that but if we use Whoopi’s logic, isn’t that just part of certain areas and how they were raised.
Blacks make fair wages. I also addressed the terrible crime and said how horrible it was. The purpose of the post was to show that you cannot excuse behavior based upon color.
I do not believe you are this dense. I think you make these outlandish statements in order to try and get visits to your site. How pathetic.
