BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The fate of Paula Deen's magazine, Cooking with Paula Deen, is still up in the air after a controversy over the Food Network host's use of racial epithets led to the end of her television contract.

"We are not in a position to discuss her magazine and contract right now," said Phyllis Hoffman DePiano, the president of Birmingham-based Hoffman Media, which produces the magazine. "A statement will be forthcoming later."

"We at Hoffman Media do not condone discrimination of any kind," DePiano said.

Again, the difference is that none of those slurs are associated with lynchings.

I hope there is a backlash against the Food Network.

What? And put all those gay cupcake bakers out of work?

My hair is gray, yes, and I happen to like the color, so I leave it alone.

Kikes, Wops, Micks and Polocks weren’t lynched in this country.

So?

The total number of lynchings over a century was less than the number of blacks who are killed by fellow blacks every year.

Now let's talk about the number of whites killed by blacks every year, including gratuitous violence like the "knockout game".

Many white people were lynched in the Western states for crimes of cattle rustling or murder. About a quarter of all lynchings in the U.S. (which numbered less than 5,000 total) were of white people subjected to "frontier justice", or whites in the South considered "too sympathetic" to free blacks.

I would never deny that blacks were treated badly. But most immigrant groups who arrived en masse were treated badly by the groups who were already here, including the Irish, the Scots-Irish, the Italians, et cetera. There was even a Supreme Court case involving whether German immigrant children could use the German language in school. Each had a distinct culture, cuisine, way of dressing, and various permutations of religion. Eventually, all those groups assimilated, and it wasn't just because of skin color. It's really time for the black race pimping to stop. They need to pull their weight, police their own group and stop making knee-jerk excuses for criminality and immorality based solely on skin color.

And the number of Jews killed by the pogroms is less than....
Reductionism is a manifestation of ignorance and/ or stupidity.
If you don’t understand what it means to live in an environment of abject terror, because you are powerless to defend yourself from attacks from a mob that at any moment , without warning and for no reason, can set fire to your home, violate, torture and kill you while others stand around and laugh, and photograph themselves in the act, urinating on your corpse -
I hope that one day you get to find out.

if they don't agree with a person politically, then they are unconcerned with her First Amendment rights

Contract renewal, i.e. freedom of contract, a laissez-faire conservative cornerstone, is unrelated to freedom of speech.

Everyone here knows that residence on the liberal plantation comes with a tight restriction on speech.

The surprise of liberals who discover that rule too late helps demonstrate that conservatism is the better way.

For example, the next budding food media entrepreneur might consider approaching Rush or Glenn first.

Really? There's a causative link between the two? I never knew that! I must have missed all the rappers lynching each other left and right!

These days, the only mobs I know of are black ones who target whites. We see it documented here on FR quite frequently.

You know, a few weeks ago, my car got dented by a black kid who slammed it with his car door (which was spray-painted pink). I brought it to the mother's attention, who told me I was a white bitch trying to cause trouble. Your touching racial sensitivity has made me rethink the incident....after all, that poor woman's ancestors might have experienced abject terror two hundred years ago. I'm resolved to find her so she can hurl some more racial hatred my way.

Actually, lynchings were common through the 1950s, so your attempt to dismiss them is not factual.

Yes, there is a causative link between the two - did you go to school? Did they teach history? And your reference to rappers - all of whom I hate - is a pathetic distraction - since they are talking to each other on airwaves, not standing outside a defenceless man’s home with guns and a rope.

You’ve hit the nail on the head!

Michelle O is a bicious vitch.

I bet the Prez heard the “n” word often in his grandparents’ house.

Sorry, I’m not buying into your white guilt, so you can stop trying to sell it.

Wrench yourself out of the past, if you can stop bleeding long enough, wake up, and educate yourself to today’s racial realities.

Do you have any evidence that they were racist? I don’t believe there is any.
