who doesn’t think every black person has used that would a hundred times more than any white person has, toward other blacks, in any number of different ways?

And when will whites no longer be referred to as “crackers?”

This weekend on payday I’m buying some Paula Dean kitchen knives. May not agree with the Obama supporter politically, but her firing was completely uncalled for.

Honestly- if saying the n word is bad because you are a white
but a non white can say it or if you are an elite white like Gwenetyh Palltrow or Paris Hilton you can say it.
People are so stupid a word is a word no matter who says it and to defend one person using it because they are black while condemning a white person is just ridiculous.

Damn hypocrites....I suspect there are some at Food Network who would not want to be held accountable for something they said or did 30 years ago. Thirty years ago the N word was sometimes used....mostly with malice.....blacks still use it today. Whites can be called damn anything and that is OK.

Remember, only a white person can be a racist. That’s the rule and you better get used to it.

The original report indicated she made jokes also about Jews and other groups.
I guess the perpetually bothered have a better activism committee. Everyone else’s complaint had to go to the back or under the bus.

I keep thinking that Paula Deen would be perfectly redeemed if she adopted a rap by NWA as her TV theme music.
I have a particular selection, but prudence prevents me from being specific.
Actually I can provide a list of 100 to choose from; Not a white artist in the bunch.

They’re only saying that now because suddenly everybody realizes she contributed to Democrats.

I wonder if the Columbia professor and Time magazine would be so forgiving if Deen wasn’t an Obama supporter.

I’m not.
She supports Obama and the glutton Mooch.
Useful idiots abound around these parts.

Unless Food Network puts her back to work, they’re history for me. Will never watch them again.

It’s appalling (1) that there can be such a thing as a word that can cost a person their career and (2) there is no statute of limitations on word crimes.

We all understand that a Republican can't use that word.
We now know that a Paula Deen can't use that word.
And we also know that a Robert Byrd, a Democrat Senator and one-time Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, can use that word -- on national TV, no less, without consequences.
Had Paula Deen been a Democrat Congresswoman, rather than a liberal TV chef, she'd have passed muster.
