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

[ClosedCaption]

Did you read either Deen's testimony or Lisa Jackson's (her accuser) testimony given at the deposition?

I think not. This all bullshit hype based on allegations and not testimony.

Don't need to. The poster compared the allegations with comedians skewering public figures. If the allegations themselves are specious, that makes his comparison even more worthless. I gave him the benefit of the doubt to show how he was "at best" totally wrong.

I don't really care what's in the deposition. She's a ******* TV cook who's contract was not renewed -- this site will not permit me to post the word "YAWN" large enough. As news items go, "trivial" does not begin to describe the import of this fake story the media feed the proletariat with while actual serious things are going on.

When good people have their reputations and their careers destroyed due to someones idea of what is politically correct, it is a big story.

Too bad, Paula lives in a society. Society has norms. She didn't fit into societal norms. So it's not "somebodies" idea of politically correct it's Americas idea of what is and isn't decent. Blame society boo hoo

when the personal destruction is always against one political philosophy and the other side gets away with exactly the same kinds of remarks with no negative actions, it is a big story.

What political side belongs to the ones saying ******?

This is just more political targeting, like the IRS, AP, and Fox news attacks. when the govt is able to use the media, the courts, and pressure on corporations to destroy their opponents, it is a big story.

The Free Market let her go, govt had nothing to do with it. You should attack the free market lol

Personally, I don't give a crap about Paula Deen, but political PC targeting must stop.

By the Free Market? Makes no sense

That must be where you put your dictionary because obviously you have no idea what the word "political" means....

how do you think libtard 'hate speech' is getting into our laws......?

"libtard hate speech"...

You're so dim you don't even get your own self-irony, huh?

you're so Dim all you can come up with is an insult because you can't argue the point...

The left wants to destroy our first amendment with things that they don't like. These kinds of people are what our founders created the first amendment against.

 

[Spoonman]

IMO if there is a segment of society where it is ok to use the word, even today, then it is ok for anyone to use it. If the word is so offensive, it should be eliminated completely. under all circumstances. no one has earned the right to use the word. that is a crock of shit. and until we face up to the reality that the word is offensive or it isn't, it's never going away.

DO explain how a TV network declining to renew a contract amounts to "the left destroying the First Amendment".

This oughta be good.

Let me know when the question draws an actual response. Or how Paula Deen's contract is affected by any law at all.

I give up, how many? And how many would make it equal?

Why is the media going crazy over this? They don't show us all the black on white violence within our inner-cities. Innocent whites walking down the street getting beat and killed for no reason.

Oh nooo's that's not news. I know why the media is doing this to Paula dean....

It's not about the law, it's about the culture.

The PC Police have succeeded in intimidating individuals into (usually) keeping their mouths shut, and businesses into quickly firing people who say the wrong words in public. People know that if they cross the PC Police they're immediately a target, and it's just not worth the risk.

It's a damn shame. The PC Police doesn't care if it operates directly contrary to the spirit of the First Amendment. It just wants to control the language and the conversation.

I'm confused are you referring to the Americans as being the "PC police"?

first explain how a TV network has the right to pull Dean's show for something she said 40 frikken years ago....did she really agree to that kind of silliness in her contract....?

or did the network execs 'read' into the contract something that really wasn't there...because they are hypersensitive libtards who operate with idiotic PC mentalities....who probably also support Mayor Bloomberg and his Big Gulp bans....for them getting rid of Paula Dean and her butter-saturated southern cooking would be a logical step 'forward'....

Won't be applied equally as
1. The black community will riot
2. the left hates whites and feels that we must feel pain

I pray to god that inner-city black culture doesn't replace American culture.
-72% dadless rate
-5 times murder rate
-a hatred of education
-many times more likely to join gangs

Stating this is what makes me a racist.
