Thoughts on Paula Deen? [CLOSED]

Serious topic by joerox123, woah! Okay, back on topic:

What are your views on her and her case? About her saying the N-Word? Is she telling the truth, etc...

Personally, I believe she did only say it once. She seems so convincing, and I believe her. Under that circumstance, is one of the only times i feel it is acceptable. And it happened 30 Years ago! God dang, can't they let go. She has apologized over and over again, but nothing. I do, however, think it was horrible that she had a "slave" wedding. That was completely wrong, and shouldn't have happened.

For those who don't know about it very much, here is the interview that explains it all:

I've never liked, I grew up watching her on television, not by my choice, so I'm not siding with some one I can't stand, no matter what she's doing.

She also planned to have a traditional wedding for her brother where the waiters are black and all that, don't know if this is true or recent buti read about it. The N word thing, that was 30 years ago. I know it's offensive, but there are still people who say it today. This just shows she's racist which no one can really know about. I just hope everything blows over.

Yeah, she was asked if the waiters were all black men, and she replied: there are black women too!

It happened 30 years ago, who cares?

What annoys me is that seems to only be racist if a non-black person says it. If I black person says it, it tends to more be like saying "dude". I mean, WTF!!! If you're going to take offense from the word, don't say it.

I have never heard of her, but everyone makes mistakes.

If she has apologised for it, then I think everyone should give her a break.

paula deen was not fired for a slur she used 25 years ago. she was fired for calling the employees at her restaurant racial slurs, forcing them to use separate restrooms & a back entrance, sexual harassment, and for claiming that she wanted to host a “slavery themed wedding" where only black men were hired as servers. and then she said that she wasn’t really a racist because she was raised that way & everyone in the south is like that.

Paula Deen should step inside the view of a black person.
After all, she's probably had many black dudes inside her view.

she said it once.

Once. She said it. and yet, the corporation fires her and demeans her. It was a trap.

but yet, let's take another person like Eazy-E who said the N word like 90 times in one song. Yet people glorify his music and lifestyle.

I think it's wrong for people to demean her. It isn't a nice word, but the past is easiest let go.

Well, today the "-er" ending has come to mean ignorant. And honestly, they probably would.
