Well, she didn't just say "nigger" once. She admitted to saying it repeatedly. She also said she wanted a Civil War era party where middle aged black men would play slaves, LOL. In sum, she's a mess.
LOL. If you don't see the difference between blacks depicting a story by playing slaves in a movies and white woman wanting to role play in her actual life by pretending black people are slaves, you are ... something else.Black men and women play slaves in movies. They get paid for it.
I think this is just the straw that broke the camel's back. Mrs. Deen using the 'N' word wouldn't have gotten her fire on it's own. The shear ignorance with which she used it in a professional environment is the key to this particular controversy. But, that isn't the real reason she got fired. Her show is a dissonance within contemporary cooking shows; where 99% of shows are either cooking gourmet dishes, cheap recipes, or diet food; Paula Deen cooks southern home dishes, without any mind towards the culinary arts, frugality, or healthy nutrition. Paula Deen is a dinosaur in the industry; the food channel has had their pen on the pink slip, just waiting for a scandal like this.
Maybe she will walk around carrying a bible like Clinton did.:lol:

“There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much.”
“I will never submit to fight beneath that banner with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."”

No, but a cooking show based on KFC is pretty much screwed. Sometimes I watch the iron chef while I eat KFC. But, I do it with dignity, pinkies up!
I don't blame The Food Network for trying to protect their image but you've got to wonder what's wrong with them?
They've been pushing personalities over quality cooking shows for awhile now. When you promote image over substance you end up with shallow programming and non-entertaining themes.
Well i think the chef has to be likeable as a person in order to captivate the auidence. I wouldn't buy a cook book endorsed by the KKK just because they made good steaks.
You might if they made thee best steaks.
Too much importance is put on appearances in today's environment.
I've never heard of Paula Deen, and I don't know why I should care about her career in particular in the scope of the millions of careers in the US. To me she's a faceless, nameless anon who lost her job like thousands of other people today. Suck it up Paula Deen, whoever you are. Life goes on.Paula Deen Fired: Food Network Cancels Show After Racism Scandal
