   Jeez, the one day that I sleep through The View…! Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a no-talent presence who doesn’t have much to offer in the form of “entertainment”. She is also contentious, argumentative, and probably a little hormonal. Why don’t they let her go and bring on someone who is more dynamic? Is it because she has kids? It’s a nice pay-check for her. Looks to me like she spends all her money on clothes for the show, anyway…

   Let’s forget for a moment the fact that I can’t stand Elizabeth Hasselbeck. What is most infuriating about that exchange to me is that she is so sheltered and naive a person that she actually believes that we all live in the same world, even though I would bet you could count on one hand the number of blacks who belong to her country club. As I listened to her talk about everyone living in the same world, I couldn’t help wondering when was the last time she went down to the hood to visit her relatives. Is there even a hood where she’s from in Rhode Island?

   What bothered me most is that she’s such a Pollyanna that she doesn’t even seem to realize that not everyone grew up in safe New England communities. Some of us grow up in quiet suburban enclaves where the worst problem you have is someone keeps walking across your lawn instead of using the sidewalk. Others grow up ducking bullets and avoiding abandoned houses where crackheads hang out. What pisses me off most about her is that she’s not willing to live in such a place, but she still wants to believe that we all live in the same world and should see the world as she does.

   Just validation to me that this show will never cease to cause undo anxiety not only for its ‘view’ers, but the very talented and intelligent women as well. I, despite my intellectual hatred of almost everything that spews forth out of her mouth, can’t help but at least feel a little bit of respect for her, especially because her naivety is come by honestly, for being ‘ballsy’ enough to hang in there with three–and sometimes four–EXTREMEMY intelligent, predominantly ‘left-wing’ women. I hate bickering, at almost any level, and I think this girl has to be put down soon before somebody gets hurt. Shame on you, Barbara, for firing Debbie Matanopoulis. And that’s NOT a joke. There’s no “in between” regarding socio-political or theological discourse; especially in troubled times.

   I am not a fan of the view or of Elizabeth. However I do like Whoppie and respect her views. I am a white person who grew up in a “color blind” home and yet we lived in a predominatly black area, 80-90% black. I loved it and would not change a thing. I do not understand and will never understand why this nation can’t get past the “fact” that people are different colors, so what. I understand what Whoopie is saying and yet I understand Elizabeth’s point too. Why is it ok to use this horrible word by a “black person” but yet it not allowed to be understood and used by a “white person”. This word was NEVER allowed in our home. I grew up hearing it from the black community. In my opinion it is not ok, it can not be an endearment when used in any form. You dance around it by saying the “N” word, yet freely use it in commedy and in “private” conversation. I have heard it many times used in a threatening not loving way by black and white people. But to say we can’t understand why you freely use it, yet you “do not want to hear it out of a white persons mouth”, then do not use it. If I said to my daughter, with a smile, come here “B”, I would not think it sounded endearing. We teach our children, do not say words that are deemed unacceptible or words that hurt anothert yet you, the black community do. You talk about a double standard and an un-equal world, yet you create one each time you do it. This country did not and still does not treat everyone equal. It is and should be an embarassment to us as Americans. How will it ever change if it is not changed from the the very first level of our home and families. I hear white women calling each other horrible names while laughing and hugging. This is not an endearment. It is crude and unkind. Have we as a nation grown so distant from kindness that everything is now distorted. I think so. Chage it people. If you want equality then change yourself. Have some real discussions and ask yourself why can’t I make a difference. Choose to not be part of the problem but part of the solution. Stop talking about the past and what can’t be changed and move on to change the future. I have read the accounts. I have seen the horrific pictures. I have sat at the feet of an older black woman and heard what awful things she endured. You know what, I cried for all of them. I can’t read it, look at it or listen to it, without crying for their pain. We can’t change the past events. We can only change today and the future. Elizabeth, calm down a little. Realize everything is not simple and to the point and my dear, it is not all about you. I look at other countries and some are tearing themselves apart over religious and cultural differences. They are slaughtering people just becasue they believe something different. Wake up and realize, that will be us if change does not come. Someone has to step up and say enough, lets all be willing to listen to the other and change.

   PLEASE get this ignorant idiot off the show! I used to love the View but I seriously have to change the channel everytime Elizabeth opens her mouth. Her ignorance and blatant stupidity make the hairs on the back of my neck stand in horror.
