The Paula Deen newstory... [View all]

...I seen it mentioned in a bunch of threads here but haven't actually read into it too deeply. (even though I threw in a comment on one of the threads) But just watched CBS news story about it. This was all something to do with something she said in the 1960s? Why is it being brought up now. I'm hardly shocked that a white girl from the 60s would have used the N word back then.
