I am really disgusted that Food TV is firing Paula Dean because she was asked if she had ever used the word "nigger' in a deposition.  She answered yes that she used it about a man who put a gun to her head when she worked in a bank, and that she had probably used it since then but it was a long time ago.   This is just political correctness gone way too far.  It would be amazing if someone raised in the south her age hasn't used that word.   
Seriously I don't like racial slurs, but what happened to free speech?  I'm done with food tv
