3:41Now PlayingShould former Food Network star Paula Deen have paid so high a price for past racism? Is she still a bigot? Daniel Marans, Executive Producer and guest host, discusses the controversy that led to Food Network firing Deen with Alan "Dr. DigiPol" Rosenblatt, #TAN social media guru, and Valentina Stackl, #TAN Activist of the Week, Project Coordinator for Farmworker Justice's Poder Sano program. The more disturbing claims are that Deen continued to discriminate against black employees that worked for her for years. Either way, growing up in the South before civil rights is not an excuse. And of course, Food Network, which cares about audience above all, wasn't about to let this controversy get in the way of ratings. With new reports surfacing that Deen called a black chef "my little monkey boy" for years, the TV channel's decision is looking smarter with each passing day. See ya Paula!
