Dr. Laura's Rant: An Example of Failed Consciousness




Black Talk Radio News show

Summary: Most of America is aware of the recent n-word laced rant Dr. Laura Schlessinger subjected one of her African America listeners too on her publicly broadcast radio program. While not enough information is known to call her a flat out racist no matter how racist her rant was, it begs the question, do you have to be racist to practice white supremacy and if you practice consciously or sub-consciously practice white supremacy, does it not make you a racist? Dr. Tracy Scott writes, "While some white religious minds in recent history have attempted to apply faith to human challenges, they have and continue to misunderstand faith and religion as it relates to issues of color, or as W.E.B. DuBois states “The color line.” Their error in cognitive thought is largely related to their white sociopolitical, and at times pathological human development that has shaped their thinking, understanding and ultimately their behavior. Dr. Laura is an example of this failed consciousness particularly as it relates, but not just to her rant and use of the word nigger. But she is not alone." Dr. Tracy Scott is Founder and President of Feeding The Soul Christian Ministries, Healthy Living Seminars and the radio station WPJC.FM. The former psychology intern and therapist of the Minirth Meier Clinic, Dr. Scott is a sought after speaker and he has authored several articles while providing counseling and leadership to many individuals, couples, families, ministries, churches and organizations.
