Paula Dean

You know what? I don't get all the fuss. Do I like the word? NO WAY! Does it shock me that she used it? NO WAY! Look people, its like this. You all were horrified to learn she was a diabetic but weren't at all shocked. Why weren't you shocked? Because she is a chef who cooked in high fats high sugars and tons and tons of it. Her food is typical southern cooking at its finest. Take her age and her location of birth and you have a typical southern woman raised to think and say certain things. Yes, people in the south still use the "N" word like its nothing. I got news for you. ALL the races use it like its nothing and most folks accept it as norm down here. No I don't think its right. I think the word is demeaning no matter who uses it and it shouldn't be accepted by anyone for any reason. That being said, women have taken on the word "bitch" and don't find it offensive. Men call each other fuckers and nobody takes offense to it. Don't give me the line that the "N" word means something worse than "f**ker". F**ker is an old English name for legal rapist. "Bitch is a female dog both are every bit as bad as "N". No I wont use the "N" word because I was raised not to use it. Does that make me a racists? Maybe, I don't know. What I do know is that its not fair for Paula to be fired from her job while Chris Rock and Eminem use the word and their careers soar. If you don't like someones views on something don't buy their product. She was fired by a bunch of hypocrites. She was fired because they loved her stuff so much they couldn't see passed their own lust to see what was really behind it.

I dont know if I will ever understand how business works and who has a say it what will be presented and what wont. Chefs, Musicians, Comics, Poets, and the like are all artists. How is it one can have a job and the other cannot based on a single word, that only has one definition, that all of them use.
