[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If people knew what I said out loud in the privacy of my own home, I wouldn't have any friends.  That said, Paula Deen is a fat, loud mouth pig.  I don't really care about her using the N word... she just seems obnoxious as heck.

Oh... Black woman here![/quote]

OP here again (also a BW)
I understand your point PP...we all say and think some things (right and wrong) at home and in private....
HOWEVER, these are things that were said at businesses she owns...are alleged patterns of behaviour that colored  her behaviour and patterns of behaviour in HER BUSINESS.
this came out of deposition taken as part of a lawsuit alleging sexual and racial discrimination...
NO one is suing her cause she said something to her neighbor or said out loud to herself when she was home alone....there is a big difference there..[/quote]
13:28 here... I mean who really cares that she said nigger and she discriminates against people. I don't!  I don't buy her products, don't watch her shows and I think she is a big fat phony.  I've been called nigger and worse by a whole ton of people. I've also been discriminated against at school and at work.  When people call me a nigger (or in today's lexicon an Obama supporter) my response has always been, "really! If you say so. I'm a married mother of two beautiful DS's, a homeowner, a partner in my firm and we have a summer home. If that's how niggers role. I'm cool!"

When my former employer discriminated against me. I documented, sued and won.  I took a picture of me holding my check in front of my old building.

We give power to that word by the outrage that it causes.  Paula Deen means nothing to me.[/quote]

how much was your settlement?[/quote]
2 years severance and a letter stating that I resigned; not fired because some limp dick a-hole was ticked that I turned scut work into a money-making case load.  :evil:[/quote]
