I think this Paula Deen hating bandwagon is so over the top this is a woman who was born in 1947 and was raised in Georgia. CLEARLY she's going to have somewhat of a prejudice against blacks... she was a child and teenager during the civil rights movement. Odds are her own family was racist and that influenced her.

I just can't comprehend that people act so surprised by this. The things she said weren't even that awful. I'm not condoning racism or anything but I don't understand why people are surprised that an old, southern woman has said racist things in the past. And things that she's said, like in that interview where she talks about her black friend, she probably doesn't even think sound bad when she says them because they were okay when she was growing up.

And now her show is being cancelled? that's just too much. It's sad that the media overblowing something like this can ruin someone's career because that's an incredibly poor justification. If it was one of their chefs like Giada or Rachael Ray, I'd be more understanding, but this is just dumb.

Whatever, I'm sure she'll have a great retirement with her millions of dollars.

Not an excuse for being racist. Sorry.

Yes people are blowing this out of proportions.

she is friend with black people as well, they are doing too much against her :jakeno:

Yes, she cooks unhealthy food.

We aren't talking about Justin Bieber. At some point in your adult life you understand that your actions can affect your career.

no poor ha

No, .

My problem is, SHE ISN'T A RACIST. I know so many people that aren't black that say the n word. They don't do it like daily or anything but they've said it. And not even in an aggressive nature.

WE DON'T EVEN HAVE PROOF SHE SAID IT, until she admitted she has said it, but we don't know it what CONTEXT. She even apologized.


SHE'S HAD BLACK PEOPLE ON HER SHOW SO MANY DAMN TIMES. She is obviously not racist and therefore deserves forgiveness (tho she doesn't need to be forgiven)

Yes! she shouldn't have been saying racist remarks

death at you justifying her foolishness by saying this

Ignorance shouldn't be tolerated.

She didn't just say the N word for the umpteenth time She deserves this.

And she isn't ruined. She still has other endorsements, her millions of dollars...it's not like she'll become a homeless bum.

The problem for me is she is making other white folks like myself look bad. I can't stand racism. I don't know how true the story is of black people entering from the back from her restaurant but that's what I heard. If it's true then that's really ****ed up.

FFFF

It's 2013. She's had 66 years to get with the program.
