So Surprising

There is a whole lot of hoopla about Paula Deen using the ' N " word. She admits that she probably has said it in the past sometime. Maybe after an African American citizen stuck a gun in her face trying to rob the bank. She is over fifty and comes from the south. Maybe she said it in conversation with close friends before she became famous. Does it make it right ? Of course not but certainly not surprising. Why the big deal ? Little Wayne walked, literally walked, on the American flag but you didn't hear much about that. That's okay because it it protected under the first amendment. Rap stars and the like can use that term all they want, and get applauded. Comedians use it all the time, it's funny stuff. So just how is something Paula Deen probably said years ago so offending ? How is this such a grievous thing ? Lots of celebrities cheat on their spouses, get arrested for drunk driving,spousal abuse and all matter of immoral acts but that's okay. They go to rehab or see a therapist and it's okay. Does Paula Deen need therapy ? Probably, she didn't tell us about her diabetes for a couple of years. She is obviously a desperate person. Cooking with all that butter and not telling us she had diabetes. The car companies don't tell us running into a brick wall is bad for you either, but they keep on manufacturing !
Have you listened to prime time television lately ? Have you heard the language they use ? Listen to the radio and you will hear every foul mouthed,derogatory term you can imagine and some you can't. But this one word is so offensive it proves that whoever uses it is a bigot ! Whoever uses this word believes in discrimination ! Anyone that uses this word is evil !
The whole deal is just ridiculous. If that is the only proof you have, her own confession that she probably said it, you don't have much of a case. A disgruntled former employee, who happens to be black, making these allegations in an effort to collect. That is what it is. If she was so discriminatory why did she hire him at all ? Send her to therapy, rehabilitate her, it wasn't her fault. She is a product of her environment. If I'm her lawyer that is what I'm saying. And that is just as ridiculous.
