Paula Deen's use of the "N"-Word

[AOII Angel]

I am less perplexed by her use of the N word (she is from the South, and I hear so many people use that word that is does not surprise me in the least, especially given her age.) than I am of her desire to hire a bunch of black men to serve at a "real" southern wedding to mimic slaves. That just goes too far for me. I have no way to explain that and make her come out looking like anything but a bigot.
