I just read that her fans are mailing butter wrappers to The Food Network, QVC, etc. http://www.ryot.org/paula-deen-fans-strike-back-with-her-favorite-weapon-butter/269001
I don't think she deserves the treatment shes getting, when little wayne stomped on the american flag, yet his record label did not fire him. I know of many black people who use the n word in a joke, I have a cousin who is black and does it. I know people who use it only for ignorant people ( and will often call white people it because thats the definition ignorant.) Personally I would rather just say ignorant person, but hey I am not in her head, and it was probably a joke. Theres jokes peppered with hints of racism in pretty much all media today, and we all laugh at it, personally I wouldn't laugh at her joke, but hey its a joke
