That's right, she's a beeotch for using the "N" word...

[b][Losing her market share rapidly....

[b][Read here.../b] 

Why is that? She said she used it decades ago. I don't think she said she has used that word recently. 

she is losing her job.

if she was being honest and used the word a long time ago (as much as I hate the word) I dont think she is different from a lot of people her age in the deep south.

it would be another thing if she was still using that kind kind of language, but she is over 60. a lot of people in the south used that language in the 50's. 

I just heard that, on the news-IMO, she only admitted it, because it's on record- and she said she prolly said it some other times, to CHA- 

I'm a 4th generation Texan and that word is just a part of our history. It wasn't a bad word back in the day. Of course, some people have the green light to use it and those of us who risk getting a beat down if we use it.

None the less, at least she took the high road and owned up to it, now lets move on...

On another note - dang her teeth are mighty white! 

OY. I realize it was common in the deep south and excepted. And she admitted to it probably because as Tatt said, she's on record...she's CAUGHT. The only thing worse than saying it is going to be lying about saying it now.

...I hear my Dad saying...sometimes you just gotta take the punches, get up, and see where you land...Karma.

It will hurt no doubt, but maybe she will learn some things. Some people actually learn and grow from their mistakes. 

dang her teeth are mighty white!


LOL! That episode of Friends keeps coming back, LOL. 

best post today- 

Come to think about it, that word wasn't just used in the South. 

My sister is going to be very, very angry. Paula is/was her hero. 

growing up in Chicago, I never once heard that word- and after I moved here, I never heard it from an educated Texan- 

well, she is loaded. it wont hurt her to retire a little earlier than planned. 

and grow
she done growed enough,she's mammoth. 

People in Georgia still say it A LOT and say it directly to black people like its nothing. This might be a wake up call that it is not acceptable to those who haven't gotten the message yet. 

My mother from Chicago, said it on occasion, but it was not also associated with a specific race. I grew up with the understanding that it meant a "lazy" or " ignorant" person. One race decides they can use it in music and movies, but THAT'S not offensive, while all others have been BANNED from using.......
Seems a little backwards thinking, IMO. 

Anyone who grew up in the 50's, 60's, even 70's (like I did), heard it plenty. Not just in the south--I grew up in the north. Very common. Anyone watch "Mad Men"? They haven't dropped the "n" word, but say plenty of racial epithets. It's just history folks. 

I'll bet educated Georgians don't say that- ( at least, I hope they don't..)

She's also facing a discrimination by a former employee, and her comments came out in depositions.

Deen: “Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n***ers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around,” the lawsuit claims Deen said. “Now that would be a true southern wedding, wouldn’t it? But we can’t do that because the media would be on me about that.”

Good-bye and good riddance.

It's really not. It's about relationship..between friends, it's understood that it's not negative, but a friendly term of endearment. From strangers, not so much.

It's like the unicorn thing and Jesus..any of the 12 disciples could have done that to Jesus and it would be funny, but on the internet, almost always a dig. LOL 

So in the same respect what words should white folks be offended by?

it is a disgusting word, one that I am perfectly happy to be banned form saying. i understand that some blacks use it to take the power out of the word. I understand their reasoning but I dont agree with it.

my black friends dont use it. however, they dont think it is as big of a deal as I do, whether used by blacks or other races. they just think it is ignorant. that pretty much sums it up for me too.

its just a word used by some people who want to advertise their lack of an educated mind, no matter who they are.

But we can’t do that because the media would be on me about that.”



I just read her comments about her brothers wedding too and that it not what she said in court. That must be someone else's statement about what she supposedly said. WOWZA 

So in the same respect what words should white folks be offended by? 


I hate it when people call me your majesty. Gets me every time. 

Ol, I don't know where in Chicago your mom grew up, but I never heard it- and it wouldn't have been allowed in my house, either- 

I know some black people in Georgia that say it all the time......

seriously? now that is about as ignorant as it gets. who even thinks like that? *smh* 

Paula, obviously... 

Did Paula Deen murder, rape, sodomize or mutilate somebody?

I don't see the harm of some hick using an unpopular word. 

Rappers think its OK..... 

i understand that some blacks use it to take the power out of the word. I understand their reasoning but I dont agree with it.

Hissy this isn't directed at you but I was agreeing and replying to your comment too.

I grew up hearing it from my father and I also grew up hearing my black friends and co workers saying it to each other. They were not saying it to take the power out of the word. For the most part they were teenagers and young adults and thought it was a pet name and funny. My cousins call each other that to this day and think nothing of it and they are white, black and hispanic.

School aged kids today in Kingwood call each other the N word regardless of their color. For them I think they are using it in a different context. If you don't think so look on your kids and their friends Facebook if they are older than 12.

Regardless of how they use it Paula Dean is old enough now to know that it is unacceptable and she knows it. 

evidently they can do it- they're black- but white people can't- 

I might call another Irishman a mick, but I wouldn't like someone non-Irish to say it- 

My entire family, on both sides, is from Chicago and I lived there until 3rd grade. I heard white people using the N word in a derogatory way toward black people. I've also met ignorant people from the midwest who have used that word. I've also heard the older generations referring to them as "the colored."

So, the N word wasn't a stranger to Chicagoland 40 years ago or today. 

Please. There's enough of that word on rap albums. I have heard plenty of blacks use terms like honky...cracker...spic, etc. Never hear whites get all wound up.

Martha Stewart is a convicted felon and her stupid show wasn't dropped.

At this point what good would any apology do?. No one will believe she is repentant or sincere anyway. It would just be pandering to the pc lynch mob. 

According to a transcript of the deposition, filed Monday in U.S. District Court, an attorney for Jackson asked Deen if she has ever used the N-word.

"Yes, of course," Deen replied, though she added: "It's been a very long time."

Asked to give an example, Deen recalled the time she worked as a bank teller in southwest Georgia in the 1980s and was held at gunpoint by a robber. The gunman was a black man, Deen told the attorney, and she thought she used the slur when talking about him after the holdup. "Probably in telling my husband," she said.

Deen said she may have also used the slur when recalling conversations between black employees at her restaurants, but she couldn't recall specifics.

"But that's just not a word that we use as time has gone on," Deen said. "Things have changed since the '60s in the South. And my children and my brother object to that word being used in any cruel or mean behavior. As well as I do."

William Franklin, Deen's attorney, said the celebrity was looking forward to her day in court.

"Contrary to media reports, Ms. Deen does not condone or find the use of racial epithets acceptable," he said in a statement.

Attorneys for Jackson did not immediately return phone calls Wednesday seeking comment.

Plenty of people were already judging Deen on social media sites Wednesday. One of the top trending topics on Twitter was #PaulasBestDishes, the name of her Food Network show. Tweets used the tag along with satirical names for recipes such as "Massa-Roni and Cheese," "Lettuce From a Birmingham Jail," and "Key Lynch Pie."

Station spokeswoman Julie Halpin said in a statement: "The Food Network does not tolerate any form of discrimination and is a strong proponent of diversity and inclusion. We will continue to monitor the situation."

The civil suit was filed in March 2012 in Chatham County Superior Court and was transferred to federal court a few months later. Deen and Hiers have both denied the allegations made by Jackson, who is white.

"Bubba and I, neither one of us, care what the color of your skin is" or what gender a person is, Deen said in her deposition. "It's what's in your heart and in your head that matters to us."

Known for her sometimes ribald sense of humor as well as her high-calorie Southern recipes, Deen acknowledged in her deposition to sometimes telling jokes. She seemed to struggle when asked if she considered jokes using the N-word to be "mean."

"That's kind of hard," Deen said. "Most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks. ... They usually target, though, a group. Gays or straights, black, redneck, you know, I just don't know — I just don't know what to say. I can't, myself, determine what offends another person."

Jackson's attorney, Matthew Billips, also pressed Deen to explain whether she had once suggested that all black waiters be hired for her brother's 2007 wedding.

Deen said she once mentioned the idea to her personal assistant and Jackson but immediately dismissed it. Deen said she had been inspired by an upscale Southern restaurant she and her husband had visited in another state.

"The whole entire wait staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie. I mean, it was really impressive," Deen said. "And I remember saying I would love to have servers like that, I said, but I would be afraid that someone would misinterpret (it)."

Asked if she used the N-word to describe those waiters, Deen replied: "No, because that's not what these men were. They were professional black men doing a fabulous job."

and she just sank her ship....

her show was dropped where I lived after her conviction. it is syndicated so the station made the decision to drop it. she came back and reinvented herself.

the food network can do whatever they want to. she doesn't own the show, they do. if they are embarrassed or feel she doesn't represent them, its their call to not renew her contract. same as any other business.

Her son has his own show. I wonder if it will be cancelled too.

They are canceling her show at the end of THIS month. Actually they said not renewing but same thing. Interesting that the timing of all of this just at her renewal. 

"would just be pandering to the pc lynch mob."

Poor John. .. He gets blamed for everything! 

Is it shocking that a fat, old white woman from the south would use the N word? No.

Would I support her tv show? No.

I think that's where the food network is coming from.
