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. -rimshot- |

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.
