I posted my thoughts on this in facebook this morning and when I got back home (I was out all day), it got some pretty heated responses so I took it down. I defended Paula Deen, the famous chef who is known for having her own show on the Food Network TV station. I have watched her show a lot and I quite like her. Still do. This incident with Paula Deen happened years ago, and it’s real insane how people are getting all over her about it today.

Whether she’s telling the truth about the Southern culture part of things or not, I believe she isn’t racist. I mean — admit it — who hasn’t said or done racist things in our lives? I’m sure we’ve all had. On top of that, the South has had a huge problem with racism for many years so do you really find this a surprise? Who cares. Leave this woman alone and move on with your own lives. There are better and more important things to get mad about.

Paula is innocent and doesn’t deserve the crap she’s getting. She made the mistake years ago, get over it. It seems that when celebrities get caught saying racist stuff — it’s like career suicide for them. Look at Michael Richards (Kramer from “Seinfeld”) and Quentin Tarantino. Brad Paisley too! That’s the thing with today’s media and the internet. It destroys people lives and that’s why fame is dangerous. You shouldn’t blame these celebrity for racist things when quite honestly this whole freakin’ world is racist so stop being a bunch of hypocrites people. Hypocrisy, gotta love it.

I don’t agree with the N word or other racial slurs — people say it by mistake or entertainment purposes but don’t go calling other people racist when you’re no different.

There’s racism that goes on everywhere. Not just the south. It’s pretty crazy how black people can call each other “n***ers” all they want to and others have no problem with it but when white people do it, that’s offensive. *rolls eyes*. Racism happens against white people too and there is no outrage there.

Stephen King has used the N word in his novels all the time and there’s no outrage there either.

So shut up, leave this woman alone, and get over it. Move along, nothing else to see here.
