Paula Dean Fired By Food Network Over Racial Slur

@BillRM,

Still waiting for answer to this...

So, BiillRM, since you are such a strong Deen supportor, how many Deen products, and Deen-endorsed products, do you currently have in your home? How regularly did you watch her Food Network show? What did you enjoy about it? Are you booked for her cruise? Placed more recent orders for her cookbooks?

if you are a white person and you say nigger losing your livelihood is the appropriate punishment according to liberals. policing conversations and sanitizing minds is the new "doing God's work".

How many hundreds of black families would also loss their livelihood if all Deen's restaurants would go belly up?

Of course the welfare of anyone is beside the point when it come to the PC police enforcing their well on the rest of us.

I do not drink anything but diet soft drinks or live in NYC either but it still did annoy me when the rights of others to buy sugar drinks in any size containers they care to buy was being interfere with.

To sum up.........

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me

All 2 of her restaurants? Laughing

I believe she only owns 2--and, it's in those 2, that she's admitted racially offensive slurs and jokes can be regularly heard, and allowed, and accepted, and where blacks allegedly never get promoted to the positions in the front of the establishments.

Have you considered the racial crap those black employees have to put up with to earn a paycheck in her restaurants?

@firefly,

My my you are claiming only two restaurants so assuming that is true that would mean that only thirty or forty families would be without a pay cheek not a problem at all as the welfare of that numbers of employees both black and white is too small to matter to you.

But you happen to be wrong as there are a number of non-stand alone restaurants in Las Vegas casinos and other places that I know of.

@firefly,

do we know that there were never any blacks in the front? do we know that there were qualified candidates? anybody can say anything ( ya ya, I realize that we dont fully have this freedom anymore), that dosn't mean that it is true.

and how about mexicans, were there any? I have noticed that no one is talking about how PD hates the mexicans because in my experience people who have a problem with blacks (nee niggers) also have a problem with the mexicans.

You're pretty ignorant, hawk. It doesn't matter what race or culture practices racial bigotry. It can be against their own culture or race based upon other ignorant groupings. You probably don't know much about the first immigrants who came to the US. Many were against their own countrymen.

Recent history of Ireland is a good example.

No, I'm not wrong, you are ignorant and uninformed.

The restaurants you refer to are owned and managed by Caesars Entertainment--they will be re-branded, have Deen's name removed, and they will continue to operate.

Deen owns and operates only 2 restaurants.

And have you considered the racial crap that her black employees had to put up with to earn a paycheck in those restaurants she owns? Why are you defending such offensive and demeaning workplace conditions for black employees? And the offensive atmosphere existed for other employees who happened to be female, or Jewish, or gay--because those groups were also the target of slurs and derogatory jokes in that workplace--as Deen and her brother have admitted.

Are you that blind to bigotry and prejudice that you really can't recognize it in slurs, and epithets, and derogatory jokes? You see it as some fabrication of the "PC police" rather than as something real, and something that's hurtful and harmful. Or do you simply share Deen's lack of respect, and possible contempt for, some of those groups she enjoys hearing jokes about?

I agree with you, ff. Deen represents the deep ethnic southern divide where those blacks who work in her restaurants are so glad to just have a job they would have shrugged off anything this woman said, regardless how demeaning.

I watched a rerun of an earlier interview between Deen and an anchor where she was describing how blacks played such an integral role in the lives of white southerners. One person she knew well was called "Hollis" whom she said was "as black as this board." She pointed to Hollis and then asked him to come over saying "we can't see you next to that dark board." Wow! This woman is so disdainful of blacks, so insensitive and contemptuous of their feelings its as if these ethnic workers are invisible and she can trample all over them at will. It was a white worker who brought this type of slanderous behaviour against blacks in his suit against Paula Deen.

Deen doesn't ever have to worry about blacks working for her as long as she can pay their wages and doesn't have the KKK acting as managing supervisor over them. But in today's changing world, her image has been sorely tarnished and she will remain a symbolic caricature of much evil that still exist in the south's racial DNA.

Claimed racist crap by a white woman looking for a big payday?

I was able to recognize your slur and derogatory joke of posting a cartoon showing all the buyers of her cook books lining up in KKK outfits.

@cicerone imposter,

correct me if I am wrong but isnt the entire point of not judging people by groupings that we should judge individuals as individuals? as such are you practicing the evil yourself when you on the slimmest of evidence place PD in the racist group and wash your hands of her? and how about all of the baggage you bring into these threads about some long ago history of putting the Japs in internment camps? that is not judging her by her own act either. I think we have talked about this relatively new approach of judging people by what we immagine their thoughts to be rather than their actions....this creaps me out something fierce.

Boy, you are really, really, dumb. PD is being judged as an individual. What you fail to understand is the history of human-kind no matter where they lived or migrated to.

You also don't understand that racial bigotry and sexual harassment in the workplace is ILLEGAL in the US - according to Federal Laws.

No, that's how you're choosing to distort this cartoon.

http://blogs.denverpost.com/opinion/files/2013/06/paula-deen-cartoon-luckovich-495x359.jpg

It's suggesting that the KKK is rushing to support Paula, and her bigotry, by buying her cookbooks, because they are likeminded when it comes to bigotry.

Nowhere does that cartoon make a "derogatory joke" about "all the buyers of her cook books". It's not showing "all the buyers of her cook books" in KKK outfits. It's showing the KKK rushing to support her, dumbbell.

It's bad enough that you can't correctly comprehend and interpret written text, now you can't even understand simple cartoons.

@firefly,

There was no showing in that cartoon of non-KKK members lining up to buy her book so the it is clear that people who are her supporters and buying her books are KKK members in that cartoon.

Hell by your own personal attacks on the supporters of her on this website and claims of racism there is little to no question that you are of the opinion that anyone who do not agree with you must be a racist in this matter.

it is now difficult to get through a day without committing an illegal act, so the state not approving of something is not much of an argument. also because this state seems to be hopelessly corrupt and incompetent and as JTT keeps pointing out more than a little evil. the state is no authority on right and wrong so dont bother telling me what the state thinks, as I am not interested.

That's possibly the dumbest, most illogical, thing you've said in this thread---and you've said a lot of dumb and illogical things so far. Laughing

Thanks for the laugh.

@hawkeye10,

We know you're not interested; you're guilty of sexual harassment and bigotry at your workplace, and you condone for others who do the same. That tells me enough about you.

Just because you own a business doesn't mean you are "successful." Many crooks and cheats are also financially successful.

You just don't have any ethics or morals.
