A former manager at Deen's restaurants in Savannah, Georgia, is suing her and her brother for sexual and racial harassment. LIsa T. Jackson's lawsuit alleges that Deen and Bubba Hier committed numerous acts of violence, discrimination and racism that resulted in the end of her five-year employment at Deen's Lady & Sons and Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House eateries in Savannah.
Deen's lawyer called the allegations false.

Well, of course he does.
What this lawsuit comes down to is did Paula Deen and her brother use the N word in jokes and conversation. If so, does that constitute racism/discrimination?
So let's talk about that. Can the N word be used without racism being part of the meaning?

As the N word was use to refer to black people people originally, just as the words Honky and Cracker were use to refer to white people. The N word having been turn into a bad word is just a little ridicules if you consider the origin of that word.
Or maybe it became a bad word because the current ones do not shock us any more.
PS I will now read the article and post about it now.
Absolutely. ...but she's got the right to be a discriminating racist.does that constitute racism/discrimination?
Only if you're black.Can the N word be used without racism being part of the meaning?
You are black?
Yes, black people call each other that all the time. I've known white people to call each other that years ago. It's also starting to be used again in jokes by Louis CK and Russell Peters. Not saying I like it, it's just not always a racist term.
Did you see how in the article it never says when she said the N word. For all we know she said it long before then up until it became a bad word. And food for thought the movie Blazing Saddles uses the N word and then it was not a bad word.

I'm pretty sure 'nigger' was a bad word in 1974. Blazing Saddles is mocking people who use it.
What about "wigger?" Is that a bad word too?
wigger
A male caucasion, usually born and raised in the suburbs that displays a strong desire to emulate African American Hip Hop culture and style through "Bling" fashion and generally accepted "thug life" guiding principles.
Often characterized by his car, or "whip": usually an econobox modified with at least twice the car's book value in non-power producing modifications or an SUV with at least 5500 lbs. of curb weight. Traditional trucks can also qualify here, depending on locale (southern states' percentages are higher). All vehicles are also mandated to have at least 19" chrome alloy wheels, regardless of make. The typical wigger is also characterized by a strong desire to adorn gold jewlery (especially heavy gold chains) and athletic warm up suits. All equipment and clothing will be paid for by the parents of the individual in question, or the parents of said individual's "shorty" through the use of said shorty's credit cards.
I used to have a neighbor who would be on his cell calling his buddies N-this and N-that. :roll: He and his friends were white as white can be, and skinny little white middle-class suburban kids too. I was thinking about how funny it would be if some big black guy overheard him or one of his friends. :lol:

Nothing more pleasant than being around privileged white kids acting like they're from the 'hood, especially when they cuss and play their bass real loud.
Obviously, it doesn't need to be racist every time it's used, because we've all heard it used in non-racist ways. So the situation is more complex than that.
I would just love to see the looks on their faces if a BIG black guy overheard them and was like, "WHAT did you say?" They would probably drop that act so fast. That would be really funny. :lol:
