Should Dean's life be ruined for saying the N-word 30-40-50 years ago?

No. People need to lighten up and move on. Far worse things have been uttered by others who still have their jobs.
 
Totally unfair if you ask me...any scale, sense of history, or balance left? And our media suqs...lol

No, it shouldn't, unless they still have such an attitude. Firing someone for a word uttered 40 years ago is past ridiculous in my opinion. I wonder though if there is more coming, some sort of proof to this lawsuit and Food Network is acting in accordance with information which has yet to be released.
 
Well hell's bells I agree with franco.

Absolutely not , it's total bull shit she has to do this tap dance , her food alone should shun her y'all .
 
Personally I think she should have told the Food Network and all her critics over that to F.O. and then ask them if at any point in their life have they said anything that another would have found insulting or offensive I suspect no one can honestly say they haven't.
 
Who the fuck is "Dean"? Dean who????

Not that it matters -- no.

Bill Maher Talks Paula Deen Controversy With 'Real Time' Panel, Defends Deen... Sort Of (VIDEO)

While it seems universally agreed that Paula Deen's admission of using racist language and, uh, party-planning is terrible, Bill Maher took a moment on "Real Time" to ask his panel an unpopular question: do people really need to "go away" for using that word?

The one black person on the panel said that yes, she does need to go away.

Today, a R (can't think of her name, Amy something, black woman) said that yes, she needs to go away.

My question is, was it really 40 years ago? I've read some news stories saying that she is just as racist now as she was then. Including the deplorable idea she had of having black waiters pretend to be slaves while they waited tables at her relative's wedding.

I didn't like her diabetic, coronary artery by-pass specials she called food so I haven't paid all that much attention to her until this.

Toxic food, toxic mouth but I don't think this will ruin her. In fact, racists are rushing out to buy her fatty food/cookbooks even as we speak.

I don't know if Deen is a racist or not, given she campaigned for Obama in 2008 and is a registered democrat, I wonder if things have not been exaggerated, quite a bit. On top of that there are charges she would openly view porn so employees would be exposed to such as well.
