Seriously folks! This is getting ridiculous. She's was fired from Food Network for something she said over 20 years ago and she's losing some things she endorsed. When an African American says that same ugly word during a rap or comedy routine its entertaining. When a white person says it they are called racist. Even Al Sharpton thinks this is being blown out of proportion.
She made a friggin mistake. We've all have said things whether it was out of humor or anger we regret. It does not make her racist, ignorant or uneducated. Nor does it make Food Networks actions just.
The "N" word is ugly. Uglier than most words. I admit I said it too at one time. I haven't said it in years but it was never said towards anyone or in a derogatory way. I was a teenager when I said that word. I don't say it now and haven't since I was a teenager. Does that make me racist? Or ignorant.
