Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports.
The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers.
Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her.
According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,” when asked if she used the N-word.
Deen also reportedly admitted telling racist jokes, explaining: “It’s just what they are — they’re jokes…most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can’t determine what offends another person.”
Jackson said also Deen wanted African-American employees to act like slaves for a big wedding she was planning. Deen explained she got the idea from a restaurant where "the whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie," the National Enquirer reports. The magazine also quoted Deen as saying: “I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America…after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War…It was not only black men, it was black women…I would say they were slaves.”
Her brother Bubba also admitted to referring to President Obama with the N-word, the report claims.

No white guilt here. I didn’t own anyone black, white, orange or green. My ancestors did a hundred and fifty years ago but that’s not my problem. In fact, they were glad to get shed of that problem because, as great granny said, they were as helpless as children and too much trouble to take care of. No, don’t blame me for what she said. The only thing I’m ashamed of is how we’ve let PC ruin America. Can’t say anything these days without someone getting their widdle feelers hurt. Big deal. Grown up. Even little kids used to sing sticks and stones and got on with their lives. Not today because everyone has turned into big whinies.
Not possible. She's black, and blacks have never been known to slough off work.
Another liberal hypocrite Obama voter. They assume we are racist because they sure are!
That’s more of a reflection of our legal system than anything else. That’s how the trial lawyers make the big bucks and leave their clients penniless if nothing else. That being said. It’s safe to say her career is over. I would say that Michael Richards pretty much doomed himself after his N word incident a few years ago.
Hey, hey, keep the Norwegians out of this. We have that latent Berzerker gene, don’t forget, and a very bad reputation that we earned the hard way.
Buncha herring shuckers.
Nobody is racist against the Norwegians and they aren’t getting away with it any more.
Indeed, call me a cracker and you’ll hear.. “hell, yeah” We cracked whips over our cattle on our farm, you bet, and over our ox teams as we drove West.
Call me a “redneck” and you’ll hear “hell, yeah” were were there with our recognition red bandanas around our necks, for the Battle of Blair Mountain, when a crooked sheriff and his allies the coal operators in Logan,WV went to full war with WWI veterans (white and black) over whether they could be unionized for mine safety and decent depression wages. In which also the US Army surveilled civilians from the air under Presidential order, and private planes bombed them with WWI hardware. It happened. And rednecks can take a joke but not a whole lot of federal S$I#.
People who know they are better, aren’t bothered by stupid words. Professional victims seeking a reward, are.
“Not that I’m inclined to use the word, anyway, but I would never think of calling Obama a “nigger”. Why?”
It all depends on what your definition of “N” is.
“N” in its classical sense was derogatory. To call one a
Black man, woman, person was and still is a show of earned
respect.
So yes, to use the word as a description of Obama would be
accurate though you do bring a certain plausibility.
After all is he really American? Does American history
really matter to this clown, Obama?

The norwegian controlled media is forcing Norse ways on us with shows like Deadliest catch and those Hansen boys.
It started in the 80s when they foisted a-Ha on us.
The TRUTH hurts!! I am SURE that Moochelle ate everything in sight!
I doubt very seriously that she is a racist or uses such words. I doubt very seriously that she tells or responds favorably to such jokes.
On the other hand--I had a close relative who swore that the n-word had never crossed her lips. I knew she was lying because she explained to me what it meant when I was about 3 years old.
