Does Paula Deen owe an apology?

[captdave77]

Paula Deen admitted under oath to using the word without disclosing context. The woman is 66 years old and grew up in the segregated South. How many people her age ever used the term "Brazil nuts" and how many grew up calling them"****** toes"?

Context is everything.

Only thing she owes an apology for is making me fat. That fried chicken is good.

This^

Here's the thing that gets me...all Paula's slurs put together wouldn't make one LiL Wayne song. Most of the people pissed off idolize rappers or comedians like Richard Pryor, who used slurs loud and proud. It's the hypocrisy that agitates the bejeezus out of me. If your only offended by white people using a slur, then you need to get over yourself. That is by definition "discrimination" and makes one a hypocrite.

Are you suggesting those that profit from racism (JJ, Sharpton et all) are disingenuous in their professions?

 

[Azznik]

Race pimp is their profession, I believe.

Couldn't agree more.

I was born and raised in Stone Mtn. I used the same name for brazilian nuts growing up, and heard family using the "N" word all my life, and heard several black's call it each other the "N" word, but that's OK.

I think Paula should hire Jesse- he survived his Jewish rant so he can tell her how to survive this
