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

If Deen were smart she would run to her friend Michelle and get a racist pardon. :)
 
This is like a bizarro replay of Zimmerman where everyone and their mother was so desperate to paint George as a racist that they were frothing at the mouth.

Media going so bat shit wild that three high ranking individuals with long careers at NBC edited a 911 tape for crying out loud and lost their jobs.

What the hell is wrong with people?

We're always going to have the Lakhotas of the planet running around with stupid pictures and bullshit quotes but we're just a message board.

Food Network bought into all this garbage. YIKES!

Lakota is racist towards white people. This person does everything in their power to attack and destroy white people.

Lakota doesn't believe in fairness as they want to see whites gone. This is pretty racist.
 
Oh and look at the tweets that Jackson's lawyer has made:

In the motion to dismiss Billips, Withers quoted a tweet by Billips in which he said “suing Paula Deen is a hoot.”

Withers also referred to a sexually laced tweet Billips directed at Deen “even more concerning.” In it, “Billips promises to symbolically undress and have sex with” Deen, Withers said.

“Billips has posted sexually explicit tweets using extremely graphic and profane language and imagery. He has used the n-word,” Withers’ motion said.

I suspect the Food Network knows more than it is saying. Also, her QVC gig may also be on the ropes...

The fallout may not end with Food Network. At least two other companies that do business with Deen say they’re keeping a close eye on the controversy. Las Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment Corporation, which has Deen’s restaurants in some of its casinos, said Friday that it “will continue to monitor the situation.” Publisher Ballantine, which has a new Deen book scheduled to roll out this fall, used similar words.

My .02c for what it's worth:

I get the feeling Paula Deen's a generally nice, if not a bit naive, woman. She probably didn't realize what effect her comments would have. Not an excuse, but I think if she understand the gravity of her use of the N-word, she probably would've not answered.

The one thing that bothers me is the fact that this was leaked after she testified, under oath, in a deposition. The reason it came up was because the lawyer of the lady suing her wanted to show she has a history of making these kinds of offensive comments around the people who work for her. I get why it would be something to bring up to make the case, but I almost always hate snitching just to make someone look bad or "get someone in trouble", and, the way I see it, if her language makes you uncomfortable, you should leave the first or even second time she says it, not after the twentieth. Sticking around when this is a common thing, so you say, just makes this look like blackmail.

the problem is that consequences for using racial slurs is not applied evenly

The plaintiff has testified she has never heard Paula Deen use a racial slur. Jackson testified she never knew of Paula Deen sexually harassing anyone.

Jackson even testified that to her knowledge Paula Deen had never been discriminatory.

So how crazy is this?
