A question For you Paula Dean haters.

Nope, she testified longingly about an antebellum plantation reenactment party - complete with slaves - about 35 DAYS ago.

I condemn both fantasy league cop-killing songs and fantasy league slave-mastering parties. How about you hoops?

So just suppose the Wedding planning part never came up in the testimony....just her use of the 'N' word. Do you think she'd still be working for Food Network? I don't think so. Would I fire her if I was the CEO? In a heartbeat. She damaged the brand.

I guess stuff like this happens when you tell the truth under oath! I think it's a big crock of sh*t. Why don't they leave this woman alone? I'm sure there are plenty of us right here that have used the "N" word and really weren't serious about using the word.

"Why don't they leave this woman alone?"
The last thing Paula wants is to be left alone. That's kinda the point.

"I'm sure there are plenty of us right here that have used the "N" word and really weren't serious about using the word."

By "right here" you mean LVA? I'm positive there are many here that have used that word and were completely serious about it.

You got that right.

rev wright said much worse things and he still has a job

Nope, she testified longingly about an antebellum plantation reenactment party - complete with slaves - about 35 DAYS ago.

But this happened in 2007.

She says that at Heir's 2007 wedding, Deen wanted it to be "plantation style."
The LA Times reports:
Deen, the suit alleges, told Jackson she wanted a “true Southern plantation-style wedding” and, using the epithet, suggested African Americans that would “wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around... Now that would be a true southern wedding, wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that.”

The point is that many blacks say much worse and nothing is done about it

Yes they do along with every other race. Whites are the only ones I know of that are not allowed to have a "whites only" event,business,etc.

People of all races say and do idiotic things all the time and nothing is "done about it." What are we supposed to do about it? In the case of Paula Deen, companies who pay her to represent them or contribute content to their networks have decided (or, are in the process of deciding) that, in light of certain unsavory statements and deeds, Ms. Deen's services are no longer required. That makes perfect sense to me. Those venues aside, no one is preventing her from speaking.

She has a loyal following that has never demanded much more than predictable, boorish behavior from her. Beyond that, critical consideration of her simplistic television persona hasn't really been necessary. Now, she's under the microscope of knee-jerk public scrutiny. This cannot be pleasant. In fact, it's probably unbearable. But, whether the punishment fits the crime is irrelevant, because the punishment is inevitable. To quote Charles Bukowski, "That's just the nature of the way things work."

Miscegenation is the answer to racial strife. If everyone marries someone of a different race this problem will be solved in a few generations. Hell, you don't even have to marry...just procreate.
