After being fired by the Food Network for saying the "N-word", some 20 years ago, Paula Deen's cook books are selling like hot cakes. And now she is being defended by none other than Rev. Al Sharpton. Read all about it:

Nigger... there I said it!
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of the "N word" being whispered and being considered an abomination. Seen an R rated movie lately? You will hear the "F word" (several) times, the "S word", the D word", the "C word", both B words", God's name used in vain. You will also hear references about luid acts and perverted fantasies. Then there is what you will see - soft porn in my opinion.
YET the "N word" is a sacrilege?!?! Really!!!
What about ALL other races and derogatory comments made about women and even men....
If you are black you are not entitled to a world free of insults or hurt feelings for that is life.
Should Dean be fired? I feel it is extreme but a show has the right to renew or not renew for whatever reason. Of course Dean's fans have a right to support her.
ReplyDeleteHow about Homie? A word is just a word. This board is full "crackers", and I am fine with that. The PC police are out of control. When I worked for a distribution business back in the late '90's, I used the word "boy", as in let me tell you boys something............
ReplyDeleteA little black man pulled a knife and said, "Never call me a boy".
That's when I realized that colored folk will never give up on the slavery issue and want more handouts.

DeleteSigh, so nice to live in such a neat a tidy world.
I don't know enough about her or the situation to tell if she was insensitive or racist. But I do know that I've never liked her. I do like Giada and Giada married a broke ass nerdy cameraman. Sigh...

DeleteMaybe you can hitch your wagon to McCain's daughter. She's not as scrawny as Giada, but she seems like a lot less of a bitch.
PC police are indeed overzealous and I agree with Sharpton. Dredging up shit from 20 years ago is ridiculous. As for the food network firing her, that is a business decision and well within their right to make. The are about selling food and products and when one of their chefs becomes a controversy, it's a distraction. Ultimately, Dean will probably get a show on Fox, it seems like good fit.
