I just got done sitting through over 6 minutes of a “debate” that happened earlier this week between View co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on whether or not it’s ok to use the “n-word.” Goldberg’s opinion so upset Hasselbeck that she started to tear up a bit towards the end of the segment.
