CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?

DR. LAURA: It depends how it's said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it's ok.

CALLER: But you're not black, they're not black, my husband is white.

DR. LAURA: Oh, I see, so a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.

CALLER: I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the n***** word, and I hope everybody heard it.

DR. LAURA: I didn't spew out the n***** word!

CALLER: You said "n*****, n*****, n*****" and I hope everybody heard it.

DR. LAURA: Yes they did, and I'll say it again: n*****, n*****, n***** is what you hear on HBO.

DR. LAURA: Why don't you let me finish a sentence? Don't take things out of context. Don't NAACP me, leave them in context.
