The double standard depends on your political affiliation. Former KKK member and democrat senator Robert Byrd said the N word right up until he died and lefties thought it was cute.

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.

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

So much for any "honest discussions" about race...
Deen catered a plantation themed wedding. Sofar we have not criminalized civil war reenactment. The wait staff was all black. Now 250 years ago they may have been slaves but at that wedding they were well paid professional servers.
How stupid are we going to get? Let's ban all that slave girl belly dancing stuff.

We're quickly becoming a very sick society. One that doesn't allow a opposing opinion and creates protected classes of people.
Why can't we get out of the past and look towards the future?

Maybe because racism continues to permeate our society...blatantly and subtly...

Ask the folks at Food Network. They fired her.
Blacks use these words all the fucking time and are allowed to be racist to whites???? Why should the media be allowed to destroy ones life over something said a long time ago???
WTF

You don't seem to be one of them, Mr. Neddite.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.

Probably not...since she's a Democrat...
