Nita “Jade” Hanson -- the Colorado woman who called Dr. Laura for relationship advice in August and instead found herself on the receiving end of a racial rant in which Dr. Laura used the 'n' word 11 times -- says that Dr. Laura has been lying about Hanson on national television in an effort to rehabilitate her own image as she promotes her new book.

Hanson, who is African American, told Media Matters she was alarmed when she saw Dr. Laura on NBC's Today and Fox News' Hannity earlier this week claiming that Hanson “called the NAACP” and told them Dr. Laura “called her” the 'n' word on the air.

Audio of the controversial call, obtained by Media Matters in August, shows Dr. Laura did not “call” Hanson the 'n' word on the air -- but both Hanson and the NAACP say Hanson never claimed she did.

On the call, Hanson asked Dr. Laura for advice on how to deal with racist comments her white husband's friends made, and Dr. Laura responded, in part, by saying: “Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is nigger, nigger, nigger.” In all, Dr. Laura used the slur 11 times and said, “If anybody without enough melanin says it, it's a horrible thing, but if black people say it, it's affectionate.” Dr. Laura also said, “If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race.” She went on to say that “hypersensitivity ... is being bred by black activists” and that “I really thought that once we had a black president, the attempt to demonize whites hating blacks would stop, but it seems to have grown, and I don't get it.”
