Barbara Walters was called out for saying the N-word by Sherri Shepherd during a bull session on "The View" this morning, regarding a Washington Post story about a rock with the word "N**gerhead" written on it at the gated entrance of a hunting camp leased by GOP Presidential hopeful Rick Perry and his father.

Shepherd was okay with Whoopi Goldberg, the main host of "The View," using it.

"When I heard you (Whoopi) say it, it was fine. You said it a different way. When I heard you say it, I didn't like the way you said it." Shepherd said to Walters.

This left Barbara Walters confused and wanted to know the proper way to say the n-word. However, Shepherd told Walters there is no right way for her to say it.

GOP hopeful and Perry rival Herman Cain is the scheduled guest tomorrow and the subject most likely will come up again.
