What Constitutes a Racist Remark?

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.

If I'm correct what you posted as a quote from PD is what she was accussed of saying and its not known who is telling the truth.

This after her whole "diabetes" scandal. I think the final nail in the coffin for Paula was her "apology" For something like this, you don't post an obviously edited, unlisted, private 45 second YouTube video and consider that an apology

Totally half assed apology. If she had come clean and been genuine about it people may have cut her some slack.

But to be fair, that area belonged to Mexico first and many Hispanics have been in the southwest long before the Europeans settlers came around.

Ummm ... the Hispanics were there before the Europeans? Okay ... carefully reread that and see if you can spot the error. [Hint: What language do they speak on the Iberian Peninsula?]

If I need to be more clear then the dark skinned people were there before the light skinned, blonde haired blue eyed people.

You know what ethnicity blows my mind though? Brazlians. 1) Everyone there is gorgeous. 2) They're all fair skinned now.

Except my friend who has a darker skin tone but red hair. It's kinda strange.

The Paula Deen Deposition Is Even Worse Than You Thought

So if someone says racist things about all races even their own does that still make them raciest?

No that just makes them an equal opportunity offender.
