Paula Deen has been dumped from the Food Network for racist slurs.

"Inappropriate and hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable"
^She apologized for the "inappropriate and hurtful language," but it's more about her apparently negative feelings toward those of the African American race. If you had no problems with those of the race, you wouldn't have used the N word to begin with... It's such a derogatory word and to me it "screams" HATRED. JMO

It's a shame for her to lose so much, for such a minor thing.....But these days everyone's afraid of pissing off the blacks

It's funny...we were talking the other night here about the female black witness called up to testify in the Trayvon Martin case being quoted as saying something about the defendant Zimmerman being a "cracker." As a Caucasian, the term "cracker" doesn't bother me in the least...as a matter of fact, I laugh when I hear it. ;D It's hardly derogatory like the N word is. IMO If someone called me a "cracker," I would respond with a smile and say, "That's right...I am a Saltine, baby!" I mean, seriously, who gets offended being called a CRACKER?!? Not this gal!! It's the lamest term for a white person...come up with something more witty, please.

I don't think it's appropriate to lump all people of one race together. I am embarrassed by the behavior of a few of 'my own,' but I won't label ALL of them in a degrading way. ...and the few that act inappropriately don't get the time of day from me.

I see the judge threw out the bogus lawsuit against Deen......Just another case of a spiteful minority trying to make money from someone who befriended them

That's the great thing about fingerpointing. You can totally destroy another person's life and never have to prove a thing. Just yell Racist or Pedophile and game over.

Yes, it is! And it's a lesson learned daily.

"Lifes a bitch, and then you die" There's degree of beauty in all of our lives. To study the meaning of man and of life — I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself. Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man. Fyodor Dostoevsky.
