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

[Redfish]

Squeeze, BHO is your enemy because he is black. Too many of you infect our far right wing. The mainstream hates you far worse than Obama. Go away.

oh fuck off.

Obama has made condescending comments about white people.I have no power or bully pulpit to call him an enemy.

He made the statements. He needs to take ownership

Yet you kind give him the free black pass.

Double standards much asswipe?

PS why not say something to Deanie?

You are a fake

So he was being condescending towards his mother and grandparents in Hawaii...?

Wow.

yes, he was, have you read his books?

 

[RandallFlagg]

If we were all held liable for things that we said 20-30 years ago, none of us would have jobs. This is the height of the stupidity of politcal correctness.

Geez, people, its just a WORD. How are you damaged when someone says that word?

Should every black who has ever said "honky" or "whitey" be fired?

this is asinine.

Honky and whitey were not used to degrade and dehuminize and entire race of people. Those words were not uttered by a race of people who could kill whites just for looking at them.

Please dont confuse "whitey" or "honky" with the word ******. By the way, who the hell says whitey or honky now days anyway?

You not being offended by the word ****** is interesting. Its almost cute because you are almost telling blacks to stop being offended. lol

I am black and yes, I am offended by that word. It annoys me when rappers or black kids in general use it, but its not racial. If you dont understand that, I cant help you.

When whites say it, YES IT IS RACIST.

This woman saying this 30 years ago....who gives a fuck. The more I learn about all this and about the Slavery wedding etc the more I am starting to get it though.

I'm a black man, I lived through the 60s. I am NOT offended by the word "******". I always consider the source - the idiot (whether he be black or white - and ESPECIALLY if he is black) who uses the word.

Your statement "it ANNOYS me when rappers or black kids in general use it, but it is not racial" tells me all I need to know about your ideology. True, a word is jut a word. When young bloods use the word, it is to illicit a response or evoke an emotion - especially these multi-millionaire "superstars" that play on some imagined "hood" mentality that they never experienced, but looks good to the record label.

So what makes the word any different when some white kid, too stupid to know otherwise, with his hat on backwards and his pants hanging around his ankles uses the word "******"? Absolutely nothing. He does it to shock and to get folks to look at him.

Richard Pryor said it best when he stated after returning from Africa - "I looked around trying to find just one ******....just one...and I couldn't find any. Cause there wasn't any. They were all Africans" He never used the word again, because it had lost all it's power. He realized that its JUST A WORD.

Funny.....somehow the black youth of today have never gotten the memo.....and we still want to persecute whites, who through ignorance, use it to illicit a response. You want "Civil Rights"? start treating your brothers and sisters who call each other "******" the same as you treat white folks. THEN we'll be equal.

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.

Negged.


And you are supposed to represent the 'loving left.'

 

[Sunshine]

Paula brought it on herself with her stupid apologys. Plus her choices of food are disgusting. Honey...y'all. She should just drown herself in a pot of grits.

I agree she shouldn't have apologized. But her cooking is good. All the others on that network cook just as unhealthy as she does. Emeril Lagesse looks like a pig, and his food is just as fat laden as hers. It's all about flavor. For them all.

I don't know if Deen is a racist or not, given she campaigned for Obama in 2008 and is a registered democrat, I wonder if things have not been exaggerated, quite a bit. On top of that there are charges she would openly view porn so employees would be exposed to such as well.

Probably had the soaps on in the kitchen. Those shows are nothing but soft porn.

Well of course she should be fired. She said what she was thinking, and that's just asking for trouble. Self-inflicted wound.

She should know that in today's America, if you say the wrong thing, one of two things is going to happen: The PC Police will come after you and your job, or your employer will act pre-emptively before the PC Police can get you. Either way you're toast, unless the PC Police considers you a protected class. That's a different story.

Watch what you say, every last goddamed syllable you utter. After all, this is America.

I would have to see it to believe it. I simply don't believe people were eating in a restaurant in Savannah with porn playing in the kitchen. It would have been audible.

When I was doing intake for a hospital, I used to get a call EVERY Sunday morning from some jerk who was using our service as an outlet for his sexual fantasies. I could give you a list. One day he called pretending to be an 11 year old boy whose mother was having sex in another room with a woman. He would turn the volume up and then he would turn it down. You could hear the music. It was nothing but a porn film. I rolled his call out to the police station and that was the LAST time he EVER called.

In the suit, Lisa Jackson claims that she was the victim of repeated sexual harassment on the part of Deen’s brother, Bubba Hiers, who co-owns Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House in Savannah, Ga. with Deen.

Jackson claims that Hiers constantly looked at pornography on the restaurant’s computer, and repeatedly made inappropriate sexist and racist comments.

I have had my share of training about sexual harassment. Let's see, every year, now. The cardinal rule is that you have to ask the person who is harassing you to stop. If you don't let them know you don't want the remarks, or whatever, then you don't have a case.

I would ask where was this computer. I doubt a piece of equipment that expensive would be in the kitchen. In the dining room, it would have been visible to customers. So, where was it and why was this 'employee' seeing it? Did she object? If it was in an office, why did she go in there?
