Lisa Lampanelli Defends Racial Slur, Says She Won't Stop Using N-Word



Comedian Lisa Lampanelli woke up to a firestorm of controversy Tuesday morning after she tweeted a picture of herself with HBO show "Girls" creator Lena Dunham with the caption, “Me with my nigga ‪@LenaDunham of ‪@HBOGirls - I love this beyotch!!”

Now Lisa is defending her choice of using the N-word, saying she has no intention of not using it again.

"I have not been online since Sunday night; I needed a little break after the writer awards. And I’m like, oh there is controversy, perfect," Lisa told The Huffington Post. "I was at the Writers Guild Awards and Lena Dunham saw me and said, 'I saw you when I was 15.' She was so sweet and I swear to you, I'm the biggest fan of 'Girls' in the world, and I just tweeted out our picture. And that's controversial; enjoy, people."

After we pointed out to Lisa that it was her choice of a certain word, rather than the image, that has people talking, Lisa defended what she wrote.

they're all too busy being flawless and laughing at her obvious racial insecurities due to the classic racist white lady aging process
patrioticguy 20th-Feb-2013 12:26 am (UTC)
i actually don't mind white people calling other white people the n-word.

Why is it always me having to be okay with a white person calling me a n-word.

I'm pretty sure I'll never understand why it's so important to some people to use that word, and I'm okay with that.

The N-word ending in 'er' is far different context from the word ending in 'a.

vehiclesshockme 20th-Feb-2013 01:31 am (UTC)
People say that all of the time.

There was a local news story a few years back about a teacher being suspended (and I think ultimately fired) for saying it to his students and he went all on the news trying to explain how if they actually comprehended grammar and the English language they would know that it had a different meaning and wasn't offensive.
falsie 20th-Feb-2013 12:38 am (UTC)
