" I would make the same mistake if I focused on your use of the p-word without understanding the context."

That's why I say, know your audience..... And as a professional talk show host, Dr. Laura should certainly have known her audience.

" Like you, she was trying to be instructive in her example but by her using the n-word all you can do is focus on that"

I disagree, the woman she was talking was the one being instructive, she lives with bigotry everyday. She did not need a lecture on the use of the n word....the woman on the phone was the expert...in fact I'll go far as to say that Dr. Laura was displaying her bigotry...
