Paula Deen called Obama the N-word but campaigned for him in 2008 [Under the bus, lady]

Is truly a racist or is she just a culturally ignorant old woman? Regardless of which, the hurtful words she spoke can never be unspoken. The damage has already been done to her image and to the African American community, especially her fanbase. But how does President feel about the latest controversy surrounding her use of the N-word and other racially insensitive behaviors?

Paula Deen

Barack Obama

Deen reportedly called Obama the N-word around her employees, alleges the now-infamous lawsuit against her. However, she campaigned for Obama back in 2008 and even made a friendship with . Why would a racist support a black man for president? Michelle Obama

It seems the problem here is that Deen comes from an out-of-touch attitude that is ingrained in Southern culture. She may not personally feel racist or want any harm to come to people of different races,

According to one account I just read, she used the word ni**er in reference to a black man who put a gun to her head in a bank in 1968 in order to rob her. She used the word in her deputation. I would say that’s an appropriate description of a black thug who would put a gun to my head..

More like Valerie Jarrett who said that payback was coming after the election. She’s the one calling the shots, I bet.

Paula will not be the only loser - look for Food Network to lose a bunch viewers because of their quick response against her.

it is very hard to have any sympathy for anyone who campaigned for Obama. This is exactly what Deen got when she cast her lot with Leftists. She was lynched and there will be no mercy.


She’s still better off than the Ambasador to Libya.

Oh come on Chelsea. Just listen to the Comedy channel for about an hour some Sat night and after you hear 4—5 black stand up comics say da “N” this and da “N” that over and over into infinity you will be completely OK with it. In fact maybe you will feel okay firing off an “N” bomb from time to time.

Any group that habitually refers to themselves with a derogatory term can’t get too upset when everybody else does it.

I was on a training TDY near Biloxi in the early 90s. While off duty I would hang out at a club west of town. When a waitress asked for help from a sweet young lady working behind the bar, the barmaid shouted “I’m not your ******!” This was with several black people sitting at the bar. It was an awkward and bizarre situation, but nobody seemed phazed.

Paula Deen is getting the commensurate treatment that George Zimmerman is getting. The Left is doing to Paula Deen as they are doing to George Zimmerman. The only difference is the social status of those in both instances.

“Paula will not be the only loser - look for Food Network to lose a bunch viewers because of their quick response against her.”

Now that you have proposed that the Food Network will lose viewers for firing Paula Deen, can you name some companies that will stop advertising on the Food Network because they fired Paula?

What companies do you think would now want to advertise on Paula Deen’s show?

Deen admitted using the “n” word growing up in the South when that was common and acceptable. She denies using the word more recently, as alleged in the lawsuit, and the fact that she supported Obama gives some credence to that denial. Someone should not be fired for saying things as a child that they now regret. (By the way, I do not watch her show.)

"It’s a power trip and don’t let anyone tell you different. They can use a word that *we* cannot. Complete. Power. Trip."

This is exactly my impression. A few years ago I was riding the bus and two black male teenagers kept calling each other the "n" word, in voices loud enough for me to easily hear. It was obvious to me that they were doing this partly to emphasize that THEY could say it, but I couldn't. I was tempted to tell them, "If that's what you call each other, who am I to disagree?"

Look for Deen to soon publicly grovel to Oprah.

Look for Dean to go on the "Cooking Channel" Incredibly stupid of the Food Network. Then maybe go on Oprah to plug her new gig.

as ye reep so ye shall sow. Liberals love nothing better tha to toss one of their own to the race haters they have. She is done—Time to retire Paula—you have been pained as a member of the KKK—its not true but you will be punished as if it is.

Good point - Michelle is our Food Nazi Queen,so it stands to reason that she would be the one to take out Paula... not that Paula’s own mouth tends to do it’s own damage.
