In the course of taking a deposition on a Racial Discrimination lawsuit, she admitted using the "N" word in the presence of an individual who apparently was attempting to rob her at gunpoint. The first thing that occurred to me was why antagonize someone who has a gun on you, I personally would be calling him "Sir," But that was her choice. I understand that there are more than one lawsuit pending, all on discrimination grounds, and that her son is involved also. I find it hard to believe that a son of hers could also be a bigot.
I have never watched her show, so I cannot comment on her attitudes or comments on the show.
I also have to wonder how they grilled, coerced or tortured her to get her to reveal that she had used the "N" word, unless she was trying to let them, and the world know, she was tough, and took nothin off of nobody.
The news became public and she started losing sponsors, and more sponsors, and more sponsors. I can only assume that these large corporation had invested many millions of dollars on her image, and I personally find it difficult to believe that they were willing to throw her aside on that one incident, I feel they were aware of more, assumption on my part only.
It was a one time thing, many years ago, spoken hastily, at gunpoint. She had many tearful apologies, she showed remorse, regret, a one time thing.. Just because she was born and raised in the deep South, during a time period where negroes were grossly mistreated and maligned and considered second class citizens, none of that rubbed off on her.
Then, she has another opportunity to apologize, on Atlanta radio, and as inconceivable as it sounds, she took that opportunity to blame the Jews for all of her problems, they owned, ran, or controlled all of the companies that dropped her. She even admitted that "I will even use the same bathroom as a black person," to show how open minded she was.
The self proclaimed "Queen of Southern Cooking" has some problems, enough said.
