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?

"She accused Deen of using the N word as recently as in 2007, while discussing an idea for a 'plantation'-style wedding."

Is it just me or are we focusing on the lesser thing here... a what style wedding??

The news tonight has kept bringing up how in court they asked her if she used the N word before. And her response was along the lines of "oh sure, of course I have. In my own home...like the time I had a black man put a gun to my head and I told that story to my husband"

I'm surprised the news outlets I saw tonight (NBC local, NBC nightly news, Access Hollywood) didn't bring up her plantation style wedding comment. That was public, so that makes more sense to fire her than what she said in her own home.
