These company's needs to grow up and ignore the hype, she said that 30 years ago, but there are rappers out there that still sings with that word , I don't think that is fair just because she lives and from the south.

People are upset about a lot more than just that word. She did and said other very questionable things.

I think at this point, anyone using her to endorse products has no choice but to drop her. If they keep her, it'll look like they are condoning the racism.

She was at gun point when she said some stuff and it lead to some improper stuff about plantation wedding, she did this 30 years ago , not that she believes in it now , watch the segment from the today show she explained what she actually believes in.

I myself had said the N word in a convo between my husband and I a few occasions but, that wasn't towards anyone...


I heard from a black friend that lived in my parents neighborhood 20 years ago , she told me that there are some black people and there are trouble makers that are black and those are the N word..

1. As Calliegirl pointed out it was more than one incident. Plus her reaction and blase attitude towards it all is ridiculous. Her apologies haven't come across as sincere at all. More like a lot of back peddling and trying to save her ***. Then there's the comment "I is what I is, I'm not changing" which should be held against her by the grammar police!

2. You don't see anything wrong with saying the N word? How could you say it during a convo with your husband in a way that was not referring to anyone?

3. "I heard from a black friend that lived in my parents neighborhood 20 years ago , she told me that there are some black people and there are trouble makers that are black and those are the N word"

It is Gay Pride weekend in St Petersburg, FL, and it is going to be rocking this year in celebration! Unfortunately Florida is of course one of the backward states with a ban on same sex marriage, but there is such happiness in the gay community here anyway. Change is on the horizon. My daughter and a bunch of her friends, straight and gay, are going to St Pete to celebrate this weekend. :D

"June 29th's Pride Carnivale’s Street Festival and Promenade is the largest single day event in St Petersburg, reaching more than 100,000 attendees in this all day event featuring music, art and fun! "

The local mayors and city council all signed proclamations earlier in the month recognizing Gay Pride month. This is a big thing for Florida politicians, believe me. :D :thumbsup:

I never had said I condone that word sometimes that word and others slips out, It usually slips up and out when I am in an angry mood. Even tho I am currently living in the south its not a ticket to use that word.

That's good the Chicago IL Pride Parade is this sunday, So I think its all over this weekend. This is the first year I am rejoicing with the Gay and Lesbian Community as a Christian.
