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:

euuuuuuughghghghgh paula deen ....
it is completely wrong to say the n word ... but people do change over the course of 30 years

It happened 30 years ago.


Society needs to build themselves a bridge and get over it. >.>

I feel sorry for her.

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.

>Eminem says the N word in almost all of his old songs, nobody cares
>Paula Deen says the N word nearly 30 years ago, everyone flips ****

I wasn't talking about you.

this is all i have to say

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.

Fun Fact
Dave Days was on Disney Channel's So Random.

Close enough.

I feel so bad for her.

Didn't Food Network pay and plan for that wedding?

How about thoughts on Paula Bennett???

Nicely done!

She is awesome. I don't like what she said though.

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.

Oh my god, I forgot about all this.

We in the South are not all like that.

oh . . . .

i have nothing useful to add to this topic.

But, i don't care about celebrities lives.

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

So me.....I personally don't like it when she says something that is super simple in her accent and I get completely lost.....

I laughed so hard

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.

What does the N word even mean?

It originates from negro, Spanish for "black".

So basicaly when you say the n word you say black? Oh my gosh, so scary. I wonder if any black person would get fired if they said cracker....

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

10 year old charged as adult.
17 year old called child

'MURICA FOR YA.

Eitherway, that was 30 years ago. She's changed and people need to get over it.
