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 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?
They're now hanging people because they're WHITE. This is racism.
