I would LOVE to hear peoples opinions on this. So I guess we no longer can have freedom of speech or express our opinions in our homes? Thoughts?
Are you kidding me? It wasn't a personal conversation between her and someone else in her home, this was an idea she openly expressed, obviously around co-workers which is why an employee was the one who pressed charges.

Freedom of speech in your own home is your own business, but from the accounts I've read she made no qualms about openly using the N-word. Hell, the woman admitted that she used it.



And when asked if she wanted black men to play the role of slaves at a wedding she explained she got the idea from a restaurant her husband and her had dined at saying, “The whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie.
“I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America … after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War…It was not only black men, it was black women … I would say they were slaves.


This sounds like a woman who is unabashedly, unapologetically racist and hides behind her Southern roots as the cause.

You Southern a-holes lost the war. Time to move on.
