(July 17) - 'View' co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck doesn't like when black people use the n-word, and cried while trying to explain why, Usmagazine.com reports.
While discussing Jesse Jackson's alleged utterance of the word, the conservative white-host said that no one should be able to say it because "it perpetuates stereotypes and hate."
Whoopi Goldberg countered her table-mate's argument and said, "We use it the way we want to use it."
Goldberg then became upset when Hasselbeck claimed that they both live in "the same world," and the Oscar-winning actress let her know.
"We do live in different worlds. You don't understand," Whoopi emphasized.
'View' denmother Barbara Walters also chastised Hasselbeck during the discussion.
"You're not listening, you're just talking," she remarked.
The denouement of the conversation came when Hasselbeck burst out in tears asking, "How are we supposed to move forward if we keep using words that bring back that pain?"
