Most of it.
Why did she stick around for so long? If I was being harassed or had a racist/offensive boss, I'd quit. I wouldn't sue everyone.

I agree. If your working conditions were that bad, you'd think that you could go work in a restaurant elsewhere.

She was born and raised in the south in the 50's and her great grandfather was a slave owner. What do you expect her to be like? If you read the deposition , she clearly admits to her husband making racist jokes, and doesn't understand what would offend other people. She admitted to saying the "n" word more than once in her deposition, but then changed her answer to only once on the today show.
We have come a long way in this nations civil rights movement, but we are not all there yet.
I wouldn't want to be a black youth walking alone in some small southern town today.
Paula Deen shouldn't be allowed back on the food network until she understands that what she said was very wrong and why. This is the 21st century, not the 19th century. Wake up Paula and smell the lard.

Just how many small southern towns have you visited lately? Where I live, the two largest cities are predominantly black and many of the small towns are, as well. My city has a high murder rate, but it's not whites killing blacks. Most of the violent crime is black on black. In a lot of southern towns and cities, the danger to black youths is other black youths, not white people.
I don't get how it's cool for black rappers to use the N word but it's almost a crime for a white person to say it. I don't like the word, have never used it but I don't like the double standard.

Perhaps the pharmaceutical company feels that many customers for their diabetes drug relate to her.
