Judge Throws Out Discrimination Charges Against Paula Deen

In a 20-page opinion released Monday, U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. tossed out race discrimination claims made by former Savannah restaurant manager Lisa Jackson against celebrity chef Paula Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers. According to the Moore, Jackson, who is white, was at best, “an accidental victim of the alleged racial discrimination.” This inconvenient reality will matter little to the civil rights lynch mob and their media enablers who have dedicated themselves to destroying Deen’s career. A USA Today story announcing Deen’s victory exemplifies the success of that effort. It was entitled, “Experts: Paula Deen is done despite legal win.”

When questioned further, she couldn’t recall any other specific instances of usage, but admitted the possibility that she had probably used it, or tolerated its usage, in joking. “But that’s just not a word that we use as time has gone on,” Deen said. “Things have changed since the ’60s in the South.
