Should Paula Deen Get A Pass?

Paula Deen is in hot water for using the n-word.  It happened a while ago and she has since issued a tearful apology, saying that she grew up in the south and those words are used, but she did not mean anything by it and she is truly not racist.

Do you think her apology is sincere?  Should she get a pass?  Or is she a racist who is revealing her true colors, so to speak?  Comment on our Facebook page and vote in today's Question of the Day:
