Whoopi Goldberg Says She Once Dared Barbara Walters To Say The N-Word: ‘See What Happens’

Walters was seemingly offended by Shepherd’s comment. “It’s because I’m white that I shouldn’t use the word?” she responded. “So, no white person should use that word? I’m repeating what was on the rock.”
Goldberg once again made it clear that there are consequences when non-Black people utter the N-word. “Whenever people who are not Black say this to me, ‘Why can’t I say it?’ I always say, ‘Go ahead. You know, I might not punch you out, but somebody else might,” she said. “But, that’s up to you to find out. If you’re not interested in finding out what happens if you do say it, I suggest you don’t say it and just keep moving on with other things.”
