They can share with her how they managed to make MILLIONS off of the N word, and the overall degradation of Black people, and are celebrated for it. The fact that these same rappers and comedians are Black themselves just makes it all the more ironic. Personally I am disgusted at the fake 'outrage' over this lady. Where is the outrage over the fact that this word has been in continuous rotation across the airwaves all over the globe at this point. When will American culture get out of the gutter?

Pathetic, isn't it?
Some "own" the "word", so as long as they "own" it, they can make money off of white, etc. folks who buy the crap songs the "word" is in...it's all good! But when whitey starts singing/loving the lyrics of the song, "you need a good beat down, you racist pig".
White kids, on FB and Twitter? "Hey *****, 'sup"? Why doesn't the media contact FB or twitter and get all up in their faces for allowing the typing out of "that word" on their cell phones or computer? Because someone has to buy "rap" crap? Money makes the world go 'round.
But let's take Paula Deen down?
Can't have it both ways.
I don't have high hopes for the idiots who perpetuate the word/ issue (for money) to ever understand the issue they maintain and keep alive...and especially NOT when they get all up on their high horse b/c some white person said "that word" too. Let alone the idiots who are incensed over Paula.
...or even Alec Baldwin, who can repeatedly offend any group and then count on a statement from its spokesperson that "that's not who he is" because he's thrown money at them, er.....been financially supportive in the past.
its sick right? And they claim they say it for the sake of "artistic expression" and its discriminating to . I had heard on a tv program (I can't remember which) that its okay that they make a movie White Men Can't Jump and no on says a thing, but make one called Black Men Can't Swim and it would be racists and cause a riot. Its true, there is a double standard. And lets face it just cause you spell it with an A at the end, as the seem to do now, doesn't change diddly squat.
Fact is these people using the word who claim its not the same now and it means "buddy, friend, homie" etc now a days are idiots.. A fish is still a fish even if its in a bowl, and quite frankly the N word means the same now as it did 100 years ago. It reminds me of those religious people who make the bible fit their beliefs and their opinions instead of whats on the page. Its the same thing and those people are CRRAAZZYYYY
Lil Wayne was just seen in a video stomping and walking across an American Flag, record label didn't drop him and no one said a word. It just shows that racism is alive and well and used when its convenient.

Does anyone know why Food Network, Wal-mart and Target were so eager to give Miss Paula the boot?
I heard no public outcry calling for her to be fired ~ none. Not from any white or black person. In fact, most everyone is defending her.
So - why did they fire her so quickly? Perhaps our anger should be directed at the appropriate entities - the Corporations. The Job Creators. Her corporate masters. Since ALL they care about it the bottom dollar - they couldn't even wait around long enough to see what the public wanted. But, we know big business can do no wrong in this country. No offense, Paula, it's just business.
I suspect they dropped her because it's a smear campaign, & who knows why....?
Maybe she really pissed off somebody who's looking to destroy her now. Cause when ya think about it-- it doesn't make sense. Just think back to the frugal gourmet-- he molested boys for Pete's sake, & there was no outrage like this directed towards him.
Yep but was there anything close to this witch hunt ?? Where was the outrage?? Where was the media??
We didn't have social media and the news reported the news of the world, country & states not what celebrities were doing. It was wrong of him but it was a different time period with no twitter, FB, cell phones that were capable of hooking up to the Internet. Sad but true some days I think we have TMI with all the celebs but then some things need to be exposed sooner.
