[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked Paula Deen's show - though I didn't make any of her recipes because the calorie and fat count is astronomical.  I am horrified at these revelations about her behavior.  [b]I don't care what age you are or where you are from, racism and bigotry are wrong and the N word (or other slurs) is never acceptable.[/b]

I'm not sure why there's 11 pages of debate on this.  [b]Seems like Paula Deen is a closet racist [/b]and the Food Network made the decision to part ways.  Very simple and, to me, completely uncontroversial.  [/quote]

Then let's see BET, music companies, etc make the same decision for black rappers, comics, etc who freely use the word. [/quote]

Are you being willfully ignorant? Why do you care so much about what black people call each other? Do you care equally that gay people use fag in the same way/context?[/quote]

Either the words are derogatory, or they're not. I don't think anyone should be using them.[/quote]

Nothing is as simple as your clumsy assertion.  But let's go with it's not offensive (in your over-simplified world). And the next time you hear the word said, join in with the conversation using the word. Good luck![/quote]

It's not a clumsy assertion at all. If I hear an African-American student call another student a "nappy headed N," I don't give him a pass. Same for anyone else who uses that kind of term.[/quote]
