Why can't the truth about why she was canned ever be told? She didn't get the ax because of words she said decades ago. It was because she wanted to throw a Plantation-themed part using black people as pretend slaves.

She denies that, you know. She wanted a Southern-themed wedding for her stupid brother. She had been to a restaurant that had elegant black waiters in white coats and black pants. That’s what she wanted; not black men playing slaves.

Off topic, about 15 years ago, I had dinner at a restaurant called Safari in Montgomery, Alabama. It was a steakhouse and politicians dined there. We were seated under a large photo of George Wallace! All the waiters were black and very, very elegant.

I do not believe that. I saw her wedding and reception on tv and it couldn't have been more conventional. Whatever this bs was, I suspect is a lie (it is second hand hearsay after all)--or some silly joke/fantasy that went wrong. Deen is from a very modest background, struggled with agoraphobia and an abusive first husband.

I'm unhappy defending an ignorant Democrat. But--what's being used on Deen will certainly come get us all.

Btw--did you know that discrimination in hiring is allowed in show business? That's why the waitresses at hooters are a particular physical type. They are not waitresses but models, legally speaking. Movie producers when casting a movie discriminate on the basis of race all the time.
