We live in a double standard society

July 8, 2013

It appears the entire country is set on crucifying Paula Deen because she (courageously) admitted to using the "N" word years ago.

How many hypocrites are among those who have publicly criticized her? It's a good thing we stopped burning people on the cross or she would surely be doomed.

It's amazing how some Rappers can get away with vile, disgusting, degrading, (especially towards women), songs and not a word is said!  They've even gone so far as to suggest cop killing.

What a sad, twisted, double standard society in which we now live.
