It isn't just about the n-word. At some point, I'm sure we've all said some sort of racial slur, regretfully.
The main concern here is she referred to her black employees as her "little monkeys" and specifically had white and lighter skinned blacks working in positions where they would come in contact with customers, while dark skin blacks were put in the back. Obviously all this is allegedly, but she hasn't done much to deny it.
Also during her apology tour, she referred to her best black friend as being as black as a chalkboard, and how the camera couldn't even see him....that was just really stupid...
It isn't so much about the n-word, as it is you can't really implement those types of hiring practices in this day and age.

This is hilarious. And indicative of just how far past the Twilight Zone we really are.......
There is nothing offensive whatsoever about the statement you describe. Zero.
Black is a color. Chalkboards are black. SOme people are black. Like chalkboards.
The funny part though.....is that if you look at your statement logically.........THE ONLY WAY HER STATEMENT COULD BE OFFENSIVE...........is if you think there is something bad about being black.
Otherwise, what's the big deal?
Sidenote: This society is doomed! frickin' PC idiots everywhere............

Okay I'm gonna pull the "I know her better" card again. She said that to Hollis. He's this giant black dude that she cares about like family. He's her body guard/driver/personal friend and he's awesome.
About the "little monkeys". Again this is getting mixed with what she's being sued for by Lisa Jackson at "Uncle bubbas" restaurant. She did not operate that place, only helped fund it. Lisa is a white woman who owes a lot of money in back taxes and is said to be awful and got fired. She even said that paula has never uttered a racial slur around her. The media has done a fine job of mixing what she said under oath, with what her brothers restaurant is being sued for.
Lastly to damn good dawg-
That accent is 100% real. I've been on vacation with them and spend plenty of time with them to know she doesn't exaggerate any of it. In fact my name is Matt and she's always said it the way she said it to Matt Lauer yesterday. She's a kind woman that is seriously getting some undeserved misdirected anger her way. Frickin shame.
