Her exaggerated accent annoyed me. Her unhealthy, butter soaked recipes repulsed me. Her revelation that she hid her diabetes for years had me lose any respect I may have had for her. But now, reading her own words in her deposition, I just want to see her go away for good. What a retched woman, and apparently the rest of her family are cut from the same cloth.

It's just a word. Get over it.

Most of the food I've seen on her shows is simply disgusting.

No it's not - try reading the linked article before you try to insert your uninformed opinion.

Or do you also think it would be fun to have a plantation style reception with "little n------s" dressed in slave garb?

I will never "get over" racism - you clearly are delighted by it. Let's agree to disagree.

In all fairness, I have observed far more blatant examples of racism coming from other races besides Caucasians. And apparently, it is just a word. It's thrown around like any other by AAs today, so apparently it has lost it's effect. So I am to understand the word is only bad when used by a white person? Sounds kinda racist to me...

So if blacks call each other the "N" word it's okay. But if a white person says it it's bad. That's jacked up. My guess is blacks use it cause they know.......

She has some very nice recipes with real ingredients. In fact, I intend to try out her Texas Pork Ribs recipe on Independence Day.

Naaa, television personalities should be able to say whatever they want, even if it is a racist comment.

I now want to see Judge Joe Brown call white defendants krackers and honkeys.
