Which one of us hasn't said or done something we shouldn't have? I grew up in Florida, and thought as little then of racism as I do now. I owe that largely to my Archie Bunker like father, who was far meaner with his words than Archie. All of his hateful rants served to help me reject such attitudes. In our home we do not speak that way, but I recognize that not everyone feels as we do. I may not like the way some folks speak, I would give my life for their right to free speech. If you take free speech from one, all will eventually lose it. She's going to have to deal with it like the rest of us, take her lumps and move on. Fins Up!!

The "N" word was undoubtedly a big part of his vocabulary during those years, and as late as 2001 when giving a nationally televised interview. Here is Bill Clinton at his funeral giving him a pass for his "loose" association with the KKK. The interview with senator Robert Byrd saying the "N" word is on youtube if you're interested in hearing it, but I won't post a link to it here. I suspect that a lot of people used that term in the 1950's regardless of their politics. Racism is racism. I do find this to be a touch ironic. If someone comes onto our server and uses that term, we ban them period and many times there is little argument by anyone... So why the pass on Paula Deen? Because she allegedly knows better now and doesnt use the term...she only admitted that in the past she had... So we ban because we know better and do better....if we banned anyone who has used the term in the past who'd be left?? Thats so true, but in the end does the punishment fit the crime? I admit, its harsh. I rather they left her on TV and let public opinion make that choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The N word not only replies to African Americans it applies to all races. It means stupid ignorant person so it doesn't matter what race you are. so you telling me if she called a Mexican the N word they would do this to her, ? I think she is a great woman an the reason for the apology was maybe to keep her show. She has enough money now she can buy them out an have her own network an I hope she does that .

I have certainly used other slurs, but not that one. In any case I don't have a TV show and sponsors. And TV shows and sponsors can decide who they want to air and who they want to throw money at. They also have that right (within certain legal boundaries of course). PimpedOutPete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Guest grishae4851 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Хроника блюстителя закона Джона Рейда, который с через индейца Тонто стал легендарным мстителем в маске, стоящим для защите справедливости. Тонто с юмором и небылицами повествует о тех приключениях, которые пришлось пережить двум непохожим благоприятель для друга героям, сведенным судьбой чтобы того дабы купно драться насупротив общего врага. Им приходится противостоять жадности и коррупции во времена, если появление первых железных дорог изменило понятие о начальник и могуществе в мире. смотреть одинокий рейнджер мультсериал http://loneranger.hol.es х ф одинокий рейнджер Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The card in the tray read, N*** babies 2 for a penny. I never connected the dots until later in age. Also, around that same period, we would have Christmas nuts put out during the holiday's and one particular kind (Brazil nuts) were called N*** Toes . Being a kid at the time and never having seen a colored(coloured) person I don't think we were racicts. Maybe the product of grown-up racism but certainly not of our own. But one question I have is why do they call each other that word when they are mad or poking fun at each other? Just like the old commercial for Coke, I too would like buy the world a Coke and live in harmony, just not that Bill Cosby New Coke shit. little_old_man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it lie we forgive politicians when they SIN Sorry but the N word is not a SIN. I get a charge that rev Jackson and BIG AL are now on this side with Paula these are the jerks that insight this crap in the first place. I dont see Al or Rev Jackson going after any of the rappers white or black for using this word. That word Boasts there sales. This is the rubber band affect and at some point it needs to start coming back. I have been thinking about starting a TV network called W.E.T. to compete with B.E.T. hmmm do you think any network would pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever a situation happens and a dollar can be made (all countries) it will be exploited to the fullest and then when sales drop another issue will surface and off we go again. Ironically, if you had a loud speaker on a busy street and called a white woman a slut, you probably wouldn't get the same reaction as calling a colored woman a Ho. (Same meaning) Pete Rose, O.J. Simpson, Mike Tyson and Martha Stewart all come to mind as big articles in their day and now are mostly forgotten. If it sells it will be stirred and if it doesn't it will be put in the fridge.
