Having seen variations of that Paula Deen meme . . . conservatives don't seen to get it that Paula wasn't making a movie or writing a script . . . she was actually living it in real life. So, no tears for Ms. Deen, although Tracy Morgan sends his support:

I think people were way too hard on her. She’s a 65 year-old white woman from the South, I wouldn’t trust her if she didn’t use the N-word, You can’t be so hard on her!”

Well before Tarrantino . . . remember Lavar Burton as Kunta Kinte, aka "Toby" and the lines he had to deliver. One wonders if "Roots" could ever be made, let alone replayed, on ABC.
