Quote from hermit:
The African-American caller rang Dr Schlessinger on her radio show to ask for advice about how to deal with racist comments from friends of her white husband.
She then asked the radio host how she should deal with "the N-word".
Dr Schlessinger told the woman she was being "hypersensitive" about the term, saying "black guys use it all the time".
"Turn on HBO and listen to a black comic and all you hear is n-----, n-----, n----," she said.
"If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing â but when black people say it, it's affectionate."
