An attorney for the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition said current and former Paula Deen employees told him the famous cook and her brother discriminated against black employees, one of whom was consistently referred to as my little monkey.
After Deen acknowledged using a racial slur, the story went viral and the Food Network announced on Friday that it would not renew her contract when it expires at the end of June.
Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, are being sued by Lisa T. Jackson, a former employee who claims she endured a hostile work environment replete with racial slurs.
Robert Patillo, an attorney for Rainbow/PUSH, a civil rights group founded by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., said one current and two former employees told him white employees are routinely paid more than black employees and are promoted more quickly. A black man who had threatened to go to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Deens brother told him you dont have any civil rights here, Rainbow/PUSH said in a press release.
Rainbow/PUSH said it has found evidence of systemic racial discimination and harassment by Deen and that a family member consistently referred to a black cook as my little monkey.
Patillo, who conducted interviews in Savannah where Deens restaurant is located, said current and former employees told him that Deen preferred white and light-skinned blacks to work with customers and that darker-skinned blacks were relegated to back-of-the-house operations.

Deen this crass... my little monkey... color me skeptical still even if she WAS a liberal
The full court press is on for Paula Deen.
Leroy is out to ruin her.
It’s a lynch mob out for her now.
It’s a shame she did not know that one word started the wheels rolling on the Jesse Jackass wagon.
If she had been smart she would not have hired any blacks to begin with. She could have paid whites a little more and called them anything she liked and got away with it.
She is a liberal and voted for Obama.
Dey be smellin’ dat money and gittin all hot and bothered.

Everyone get out of the way! The Jackson Ambulance Service is on its’ way and you don’t want to get runover, only to get on the gravy train of the world’s greatest ambulance chaser/driver (except for Al Sharpton, a great criminal in his own right - Tawana Brawley - fraud; the killing of the Koreans in New York City - Incitement to riot; acessory before the fact to murder by arson; impersonating a human being).
Hey Jesse? Why did you have a key Soviet asset and identified leader of the Communist Party USA, Jack O’Dell, as you top advisor for decades (SCLC, Operation Breadbasket, Operation Push, RAINBOW Coalition and other extortion operations you have run since the 1960’s)?
Jack O’Dell, aka Hunter Pitts O’Dell, aka John Vesey, CPUSA organizer for the South. In possession of Soviet organizing manuals which were captured in a police raid in New Orleans in 1956 (or around that time).
O’Dell - CPUSA front member in the US Peace Council, as a delegate to the Soviet KGB/CPSU front, the “World Peace Council” (peace disinformation and propagandizing).
Jesse, I CAN’T HEAR YOU!
Last February, Paula was holding classes on the cruise, I was on. I had to ask friends, who is Paula Deen? She had two big black bodyguards with her everywhere she went and she was a big gambler.
Can rappers be sued for using the N word?
She dissed the first wookie. She commented on ‘da mooch chowing down on her set showing the hypocrisy of her healthy eating propaganda. That is the transgression that must be punished, examples made for all to see.
Hey Paula, how’s that Obama campaigning workin’ out for ya?
It was 30 years ago, I thought.
Isn’t it amazing how libs go after their own? Martha Stewart, Paula...amazing. Boy they don’t just discredit, they totally destroy! Maybe now these two ladies will join the Tea Party. :-)
She DID? She commented on Michelle O? Can you refer me please? Of course she’ll be strung up. She should have paid closer attention to Juan (What’s-His-Name), the liberal newscaster who was tossed under the bus.
JJ needs to do one or two of these shakedowns a year to keep the assets flowing toward the family. Whats a beer franchise or an extortion check here and there.
Some liberals really do live starkly double lives, and if they brought proof I’d believe it. But my gut sense is that no modern black man is going to put up with a white woman no matter how famous calling him her little monkey. At least not very often.
