Paula Dean Fired By Food Network Over Racial Slur

again, read the article

no money has been paid - there have been pre-orders but no payments

no one had put their money on the line to buy the books

I'm not going to repeat what's been said too many times already about the PD and son 'CURRENT EVENTS.'

what evidence do you have of any movement to have these companies do anything?

it seems that most of the people you perceive as being against Ms. Deen were so disinterested that they didn't know about her various endorsements and product lines until the various companies ended the relationships

hopefully BillRM will provide some evidence of the movement and its activities. He seems to be only one who knows anything about it.

I'll miss Ms. Deen.

She was easy to caricature for Halloween (not me, two guys at work).

I don't know what "your movement" refers to--companies make their own decisions based on what they feel are their own business interests.

You're concerned about someone's "right" to buy a cookbook?

You didn't give a damn about the Constitutional rights of Muslim-Americans to build a community center/mosque in lower Manhattan--you're such a bigoted Islamophobe you want mosques "controlled" and Muslim-American civil rights trashed because you see all Muslim-Americans as a terrorist threat. You advocate horrible civil rights violations, for an entire group of Americans, based on your own biased attitudes, but then you express concern about someone's alleged "right" to buy a cookbook.

Well, it's nice that "as yet" you're not talking about putting all Muslim-Americans into internment camps, as was done with Japanese-Americans during WWII. That really shows you have some sense of restraint, you just want them deprived of their Constitutional right to build and attend a community center/mosque in Manhattan, and deprived of any other civil rights you feel they shouldn't have.

You're much more dangerous a bigot than someone like Paula Dean, judging by what you'd like to do to Muslim-Americans.


You're a riot.

You've never been a fan of Paula Deen. You never supported her in any way.

You admit you never watched Deen's Food Network show, you've never bought her cookware, household items, food products, or cookbooks, but one whiff that she and her brother used, or condoned, racially and sexually inappropriate behavior and offensive speech in their workplace, and you can't wait to get your mitts on a book her publisher just cancelled.

Just what is it that you think you're supporting with your sudden desire to gift your friends with that cookbook which may never materialize? Free speech? The Constitution? The right of employers to express bigotry and prejudice and to be offensive in the workplace?

If racial/ethnic/gender/sexual orientation slurs and derogatory statements are nothing more in your mind than "non PC" verbal expressions, you probably regard a swastika spray-painted on a building, like a synagogue, as nothing more than "non PC" graffiti art.

I repeat--in your Islamophobia, you're much more dangerous a bigot than someone like Paula Dean, judging by what you'd like to do to Muslim-Americans and their civil rights--but I guess you feel compelled to support other bigots, for your own self-interest. Too bad you might be deprived of your "right" to buy her next cookbook. That's a terrible blow to your "freedom".

Did not even know who the lady happen to be as a matter of fact but then when you see a fellow human being hung on the PC tree you do not need to know them to do your best to interfere with the hanging.

In any case, my Christmas shopping for gifts is going to be either her new cooking book or one of her older books if the PC mob can stop her new book from being released by Christmas.

Amazing and shocking and frightening that firms are willing to joint in such a hanging no matter what their customers or the public happen to think.

Might be fun to start a facebook page of the companies that need to be driven out of business over this matter.

so where is this PC mob and what is it doing?

where are the FB pages attacking Paula Deen?

Strange claimed as I remember saying over and over and over that they have a constitutional right to build that mosque just that I was of the opinion it was in bad taste for a number of reasons.

Amazing that you somehow missed my full position on that issue is it not Firefly?

You would never be dishonest in portraying any of my statements in order to discredit me now would you.......lol

"Bad taste"--you mean the desire of Muslim-Americans to build that community center/mosque was simply "not PC" on their part? So you supported being "PC" when it comes to preventing the building of mosques in Manhattan? In that instance, you saw your own "PC" as being good-- because you were trying to stop something that was in "bad taste". But "PC" is bad when it results in negative reactions to bigotry and prejudice by employers in a workplace? Racial slurs and racially offensive jokes by employers aren't in "bad taste"?

Funny how you views about being "PC" keep shifting--in accord with your own personal bigotry preferences.

You discredit yourself, constantly, with no help needed from me.

And people are free to go to that other thread and read your Islamophobic remarks, along with your expressed desire to strip Muslim-Americans of their civil rights--short of tossing them into internment camps "as yet".

You're a dangerous, and stomach-turning, bigot. And your views in this thread are but one example of that.

And it's funny how your newfound admiration for Paula Deen suddenly surfaces only after she's considered a bigot too. It takes one to know one, which makes your defense of the poor woman more damning than other people's condemnation of her actions.

i have to figure that PD was thrilled to have Random House walk away.....1) the advance is said to be millions and while we have no word on how the deal was structured in all likelihood anything that had been paid will be almost impossible to get back. 2) no content provider wants a publisher/record company/studio to have control of their work if they no longer support the provider, the work will be disappeared.

Somehow trying to ruin a woman financially for something she said in the emotions of being near to death at the hands of another person thirty some years ago that she had since apologized for is in more then bad taste at least in my opinion.



But you still are always willing to give me that help by leaving out and editing my opinions in the hope that no one is going to be spending the time to go lookings for posts created months or years ago.

As I had said before this is my very very favor example of how damn dishonest of a person you are in this regard see below.

Full sarcastic statement by me in replying to your outrageous question do I trade in child porn!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I trade CP with federal judges

Your edit of my statement to the following

Yes I trade CP

Then you jumped up and down in joy that I had come clean over this matter.

Firefly you are in fact a far far worst person morally and in every other way, at least in my opinion, then Paula Deen during her very worst day of her entire life or in any past lives she may had have for that matter.

Yet you and your followers are always looking down on others for their moral failings but can not see your own for some strange reason.

Sorry dear I did not known the woman was alive before this attempt to ruin her life over a word she had used over thirty years ago came to my attention.

There is no reason to think that she is a racist bigot since even going out of her way to support Obama first run for the presidential only charges by a white woman tryjng for a few million dollars paid day in a law suit.

It been like watching a pack of jackals attacking a defenseless prey.

Poor Paula Deen here are the jackals at a kill and you wonder Firefly why I feel sorry for the woman being attacked by human jackals

It's really comical to see the likes of you trying to make positive all the companies who have dumped Deen - worth many millions.

Her empire is crumbling under her feet, and you had to mention the advance she received as if it was a winner for her. Loser.

Time will tell whether the hanging will go to a conclusion in the face of strong support by the population both black and white or this craziness will come to an end.

Right now the jackals are winning however.

I am still finding it amazing that companies are willing to slap their own customers in a very open manner by showing complete contempt for their opinions on this matter.

"Slap their customers?" Your bigotry shows big time!

Is that your only fall back that anyone who disagree with this jackal attacks on this lady against the express wishes of the customers of the companies who are dropping her is a bigot by default?

Have you look on facebook or twitter or amazon or............where customers communicate with companies such as the food network or Random house and so on?

Have you seen the comments of the customers of Dean .restaurants both black and white?

Or for that matter her new cook book being the number one pre-released best seller before Random house pull the plug.

Sorry but facts of the public support of this woman are facts and telling customers after they had already order the book for example that you will not sell it to them is indeed slapping them in the face.

There is no such thing as "bigot by default." That's an oxymoron. A bigot is anybody who expresses by words and/or actions anything demeaning to any individual or group without good cause.

It's based on IGNORANCE.
