Now that Walmart, Target and the rest of the bullies have pulled Paula Deen from their shelves, I fully expect them to pull all the rap and hip hop cds that use the same word and that are racist against whites.

What do you think the chances of that are??

No, they should have taken her products off 30 years ago, when she made the comment.

ohhhh, she didn't have any products in those stores 30 years ago.

You haven't made a racist comment or used the 'N' word in the past thirty years. I seriously doubt that. Her only fault was being honest about it.

It's a common practice for the blacks to use that word between themselves, Mrs. Dean made the statement on TV that she hated to hear them use it. I wonder if she had sent an employee home or fired one for using it what would have been said about her then.

That fact that you insinuate support for her colors you as one who would condone such language. I'm not saying you would or do use that sort of language. I am saying that it leads others to believe you do. If you understood the last three sentences without blowing your top then, you understand why she is losing her corporate sponsors.

It's no insinuation, it's 100% and no I do not use the N word.

honest? She used the N-word when a Black man had a gun to her head? I think it would be a lot better to use "sir". You really believe that story?

I think I had heard something like this saying once somewhere: "He, who has no sin, shall cast the first stone."
I think that's how it went.

If you read the details in the court case filed against her, by her restaurant workers. The "N" word is a minor detail.

Show me a person who claims to never using a racial slur, the N word, told a cracker joke or a polish joke or Italian.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU A LIAR!

So your implication is that the allegations in the lawsuit should justify Wal-Mart's and Target's reaction? Some of the allegations have already been shown to be false and others are refuted.
