Spot on brother. I remember those wonderful ballads of days gone by. The new normal? “Wha’s dah bitches and hoes?” Obama listens to this crap and invites the purveyors of this filth to the white house. Jay-Z and Ludacris are two of his homies. But then again, what would you expect from a former dope and crack head?
Do you really want to live in a country that penalizes you on your thoughts?
Good decision.
It was ridiculous for the plaintiff to think she could capitalize on a decades old allegation.
Hopefully, all gold-digger Jackson will end up with will be a large court costs bill.
“Do you really want to live in a country that penalizes you on your thoughts? “
Isnt that what the Zimmerman trial was and STILL(with the Feds) is all about? George thought that Trayvon seemed out of place and was acting in an unusual manner. Being penalized for one’s thoughts is already here.
OK, but we continue worshipping BET with blond women doing black women’s toes as part of “candid humor”?
Whatever.
That IS what the entire attack is about, isn't it?
Show me anyone over 40 from the South who has NEVER, EVER "used" the "N-word", and I'll show you a lifelong mute. I have heard it said, even by people who were definitely not racist, to describe specific lowlife individuals.
I have no skin in the game on way or another, I've never even seen her on TV, am not particularly a Southern foodie. But, FWIW, I had read the exact opposite: that she treated people right, has zillions of appreciative friends, promoted young start-up black chefs, is much loved by 600,000 people on the We Support Paula Deen Facebook page, whatever.
It's, like, an epistemological problem. When you have no firsthand information, you have to run a skeptical eyeball rapidly over both sides, muttering "Who sez?" and "What's your angle?" and "Cui bono?"
So, while I can imagine thousands of nasty people lying and saying she was nasty, I can't imagine thousands of nice people lying and saying she was nice. Thus, when I run it through my epistemology number cruncher, I come up with the probability that she's probably flawed but OK, and didn't deserve to be destroyed by what looked like a coordinated corporate PC pack attack...
Does that make sense?
All subject to revision upon receiving credible information to the contrary.
Brazil nut?
The judge didn’t say she wasn’t a racist, he said the plaintiff had no legal standing because he was white. Which actually does imply she did stuff that was at least questionable, just nothing anti-white.
She has no else to blame but her self. If she had a shred of decency, she wouldn’t be in this situation today.
And then there were nuts....
The winner was announced last night..and it's a younger, prettier, and sassier version of Paula Dean..
Damaris Phillips, 32, from Kentucky, y'all...bloggers have said that Food Network heads picked her from the start..
If you're curious, here's a short video clip of her. I think she'll be a huge star in a few years.
Maybe Paula Dean can file an age discrimination lawsuit against the Food Network
Where does Paula Deen go to get her life back?
I have to wonder exactly what it was that Paula Deen did to you for you to get your panties in such a wad?
Some of journalist hacks who covered this referred to Ms Deen as a “disgraced chef”. I wish she could sue their kiesters off.
She doesn't get her old life back. What she does moving forward will determine her character. I'm thinking she's probably had an epiphany as to the real motivation$ of her detractors and those who have claimed to be her friends. She will also, most likely, re-think her political ideology. She does have some actual kitchen skills so ... she won't go hungry.
Excellent. She’s a good cook, and at one time I enjoyed her show. Best wishes to her in the future.
