More N-Word Hypocrisy

Either the word is bad or it's not. Decide already.

"View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck was in tears Thursday after a discussion about the use of the n-word, in which fellow co-host Whoopi Goldberg told her the two "don't live in the same world."

During a segment covering Jesse Jackson's recent use of the n-word while preparing to tape an interview on FOX News, Whoopi and co-host Sherri Shepard, who are both black, contested that the word has a different meaning for black people.

"It's something that means something way different to me than it does to you," said Shepard. "I can use it as a term of endearment."

Hasselbeck contested that "We [blacks and whites] don't live in different worlds, we live in the same world."

TOTAL CROCK OF POO. Winner: Hasselbeck.
