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

[squeeze berry]

Should anyone's life be ruined for an offensive comment that was made 40 years ago? Including any of you...

2007 ain't "40 years ago"...

so that was an exact quote from 6 years ago?

exactly?

word for word?

sounds like a shakedown

Everyone on this board could have our lives destroyed if this is all it takes. Lakota that includes YOU. Think about it.

Mel Gibson is still paying for what HE said. What makes Paula so special?
As blackhawk said..selective political correctness.

I don't care if she said it yesterday....She has a right to say it.

 

[tinydancer]

Scenario, TinyDancer. Just a scenario.
I didn't bother to look at your links, though. Do those places REALLY have darkies tap dancing at weddings and say Massah as they serve refreshments?

Paula Deen never said in her deposition under oath that she wanted darkies tap dancing.

What are you talking about?

What did he resign from?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Lyndon Johnson should have been impeached for referring to black folks as "*******" during the Civil Rights Era.

LOL. The logic behind Paula Deen's ouster is ridiculous.

 

[thereisnospoon]

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.

What should anger all is the fact that the people responsible for not renewing Deen's contract profess to being pure as the driven snow. As though none of them had ever uttered a racial epithet.

With all due respect, have you even read her deposition?

Hello? It was NOT 40 years ago! Jeez.

She said stupid crap recently too. And her life won't be ruined. She'll still have her restaurant and plenty of money.

If you're a public host, you have to be smart. This chick is clearly an idiot. I get that many of us are tired of the PC, hypocritical nonsense out there. But there's no need to shed a tear for this stupid *****.

There's some bizarre shit going down. This is all freaking bullshit.

In the plaintiff's own words under oath:

In the plaintiff’s own words

In Jackson’s deposition taken Feb. 11, she recounts how Dora Childs, an employee at The Lady & Sons, told her “probably sometime in 2010” that she felt discriminated against when a white male kitchen manager was promoted over her, adding, “and that Paula made racist comments.”

Deens’ attorney, Franklin, asked Jackson: “You have never heard Paula make a racist remark, have you?”

“Not heard it,” Jackson replied.

“You have never known Paula to discriminate against a person based on gender, have you?”

“I’m not aware.”

“And you have never known Paula to sexually harass anyone, have you?”

“Not me.”

How whacked out is this?

Under oath the woman who is suing her and her brother said she never ever heard Paula say anything racist.

Sweet lord. This is Jackson herself saying that Deen never said anything racist.

[ScienceRocks]

So we're trying to Hang Paula Dean because someone said she said something, but NEVER heard it???? How ******* crazy is this.

This is nuts.

Who cares if someone else was promoted over you...Jezzzz.

 

[tinydancer]

So how did we get to this freaking point with media running around with bullshit quotes?

 

[Gracie]

Media is using their freedom of speech, I guess. Maybe, if all this is bullshit, Deen can sue them for slander.

 

[blackhawk]

30 or 40 years ago 5 years ago hell how many have gone a week without saying something racist or offensive?

The only consistency in this entire thread is its inconsistency

Stupid *****?
