I have not read most of the posts - so I am dropping in on the conversation.

I have only seen PD on a few talk shows, once on a very awkward guest appearance on Martha Stewart's old show. From what I understand she is a "self made" success - and I really admire people like her that have, worked their way up from the bottom and are "successful".

I have a hard time believing that she only used the "n" word once 30 years ago. With that said - and if she is telling the truth - this has been a huge witch hunt. I get so tired of corporations that are quick to drop someone who has been tried and convicted by the media.

Sheeezz give the poor woman a break. People can change - I know I have done and said some really stupid things over the years and when recognized - I have tried not to do/say them again.

I think some corporations may me taking advantage of the situation to get out of some expensive endorsement contracts.

It almost makes we want to have some of her Southern fried chicken, corn on the cob and cobbler today...but I won't - I am mostly vegan.
