[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this would surprise me. Of course she and her brother used the n-word; they grew up in Georgia in the 40s and 50s. My family is from Georgia and older uncles and such still use those terms on occasion.  I don't condone it, but for people who grew up in the rural South in that time period, it was totally, totally normal. So no, if the Deen family used that word, I would not be the least bit surprised. The real question is does this woman suing them deserve to be compensated for hearing the Hierses/Deens use the n-word on occasion. [/quote]

This, and for this reason and as someone raised in the south in the 60's who heard the word a lot, I don't think any less of Paula. [/quote]
Because it was "normal" behaviour it is acceptable to use it?
This is how ignorance and racism are perpetuated...
Awww..it's ok...she grew up hearing the denigration and degredation of people...so if she uses the word...it was just the "normal" thing for her...
By the way I don't necessarily think any "less" of her...but I do think differently.[/quote]
