Should Paula Deen be banned from TV ? ( Archived) (7)

Who is this?.

Paula Deen had a cooking show on the foodnet channel.

No wonder I never heard of her.Other than the news, the only other channel I watch is Discovery Science.

Here ya go! I don't find it new worthy. Just kinda sad how the world is going to politically correct its self to death.

I would like to live in a diverse world, sadly if we continue to walk around on egg shells we are going to create the wrong kind of diversity. People are human. Name one of us who has not sinned. And don't tell a lie that's sinning

My daughter came home from school one day using the N-word. I had to explain to her that it was swearing and it didn't matter if the other kids said it, or anyone else thought it was okay, it wasn't. She could say any expletive she liked in the house, under her own roof, but not outside and not racial slurs even in the house.

My mum once used the word 'Negerling'. I pointed out to her that her perception of it referring to an attractive black child, might not be how it would be received, or interpreted by others. She took that on board fairly sharpish.

I think political correctness has a role to play and a positive function, I detest prejudice, but I'm wondering what the background to this is. I'm wondering if she's really been outrageous enough in the past for it to be justified that she's made an example of, or whether its a bit like sacking someone because they came home from school saying a rude word when they were six.

Without the details, we would be guilty of prejudice.
