I hadn't heard of this bullshit from Anne Rice about this, wow. I am floored. I can't understand the people standing up for Paula Deen- ok, I get the folks whining about freedom of speech, but everyone else sounds like they're replying while thinking about all the racial jokes they've ever said and justifying them as well as Paula Deen. Disgusting. "She's from a different time!" is the biggest reason I've seen thrown around, as if she hadn't lived through the civil rights era and has been transplanted here straight from 1886 or something. Old, barely-in-touch-with-reality granny racists are bad enough, but pretending that such a huge television star doesn't know better, and hasn't at least been coached to keep her racist bullshit inside her sick head, well. Come on.
And seriously, defending a rich white woman using the n word by comparing her very simple court process to lynching.. horrifyingly obtuse on Anne Rice's part. I don't understand how you can be that out of touch. Who cares if Lisa Jackson is white?! You don't have to be a person of color to realize the shit Paula Deen was saying was wrong- you just need two braincells to rub together.
