something that richard pryor said.

" A n!gger is defined as lazy and stupid....that means there are some white ni!ggers too!"

It may help the search but I found something saying she used the term "wigger"

And Colored White: Transcending the Racial Past (google book search) "By December 1993, after an Oprah show centered on "wiggers" The Source... declared the term and the controversy officially played and over."

That was just a quick google on her name and the terms.

I wana say the show I'm thinking of was before 93, maybe in the late 80s. I can picture it in my head but the link I posted was the only thing that came up.
