Celeb chef Paula Deen admits using 'N word' - CNN.com
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?
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.
