The caller involved in the Dr. Laura Schlessinger N-word controversy appeared on Larry King Live Thursday to discuss the flap, and refused to accept an apology from Schlessinger, who subsequently resigned from her radio show in the wake of her racially offensive comments.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Nita Hanson called into Schlessinger's August 10 show to discuss her experiences as a black woman married to a white man, and how at times she feels she is the butt of racist comments from his friends and family. Schlessinger dismissed Hanson's complaints as being too hypersensitive, which led to Hanson asking Schlessinger if it was alright to ever use the N-word.

In a bombshell announcement, Dr. Laura Schlessinger said she'll be done doing her radio show at year’s end on Larry King Live Tuesday, following a week of controversy after the radio veteran repeatedly used the N-word while discussing race with a caller.
"I'm here to say that my contract is up for my radio show at the end of the year and I have made the decision not to do radio anymore," Schlessinger told King. "The reason is: I want to regain my First Amendment rights. I want to be able to say what's on my mind, and in my heart, what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is a time to silence a voice of dissent, and attack affiliates and attack sponsors.”

When you think of black and white in relation to Harry Connick Jr., you probably think of piano keys -- until now.
Connick, appearing as a judge on an Australian television variety show called Hey Hey It's Saturday, was subjected to an uncomfortable stretch of minstrel humor when an act called Jackson Jive -- five white Australian guys in black face pretending to be the Jackson Five -- appeared before him to be evaluated.
