during the dozen years I lived in a predominantly black neighborhood...
(and, believe me, I was 'bout the only white face around...)
there were at least a half-dozen instances of me coming home to find my house broken into and stuff stolen...
btw... I loved my black neighbors... and I miss living there... and I really hate living in white-bread land...
but, back then, whenever I'd come home to find my house broken into and my stuff stolen, I'm pretty sure that, at the time, I muttered under my breath sumpin' like "fuckin' *******..."
so, fry me...
You're right. She could be one of those Robert Byrd supporters.Hello TK,
You mentioned that Paula Deen is a conservative in a liberal America.
I wonder.......is she very political? Is she known for expressing conservative views? I was not aware of that.
I am guessing that you have no clue about her politics. So I must ask, why would you assume that she is a conservative? What gives you that impression?
From everything I've seen, her admission, under oath, to saying the "N" word several decades ago is the reason for all these contract cancellations.
There must be something else, isn't there. This just doesn't pass the common sense test!
Oh fer chrissake, how many times do we have to go through this again?
A manager at one of Paula Deen's businesses filed a lawsuit claiming harassment and assault in the workplace. The central defendant in the suit is Paula Deen's brother, "Bubba".
(I know, just the name "Bubba" should be enough for a settlement right there, right?)
PD is involved because she owns the business and would be by extension negligent in allowing the harassment to continue.
Somewhere along the line someone seems to have got her to tell a story about something from 30 years ago (or 40 or 50, it morphs). Whatever that is and wherever it came from, it has nothing to do with the suit. It's not mentioned in there at all. And the plaintiff only came to the business in 2005, so it wouldn't be relevant anyway.
Now the suit was filed in March; the Food Network, which contracted with PD to run the show, would have had time to run the suit by their lawyers and have them assess whether the suit had merit, and if so, would they stand to be embarrassed when the suit began while they're running her show.
Whatever their lawyers told them we don't know, but FN announced that the contract with Deen would be let to expire. They didn't give a reason, nor did they need to. The suit hasn't gone to trial yet.
That's it. Waiter, check please.
Excellent job, well done.
Youve provided an accurate, succinct, and factual account of the issue.
One small problem
For conservatives the facts are meaningless.
This is yet another opportunity for the right to whine about the myth of political correctness, make hyperbolic and hysterical proclamations concerning reverse discrimination, and how the poor, oppressed white man suffers under the infamous burden of a racial double standard.

Very true.
And none of them seemed to have a problem with Maher's show "Politically Incorrect" being cancelled or the Dixie Chicks being banned from Clear Channel's airwaves.
Gotta love it.

Yanno......................Don Imus made some really fucked up remarks when it came to talking about a bunch of black women on a basketball team a bunch of "nappy headed hoes".
He was only taken off the air for a year.
Me personally? I believe that Mrs. Deen should know that her behavior was unacceptable, but losing her brand and her job? Totally unacceptable on the sides of those who sponsored her.
At the most, maybe a 6 month ban off the airwaves.
And yeah...................I'm a "liberal" according to some on these boards, but shit................she's being unjustly pilloried for what she said a long time ago.
Give her a 6 month break to think about what she'd said, and then put her back on the airwaves. I mean....................a 1 year break kinda smoothed out Imus, didn't it?

Give her a 6 month break to think about something she said 30yrs ago? You're a genius ain't ya. How about the fact that she was a vocal obama supporter? How does that jibe with her having to take off 6 months to think about calling some scumbag who stuck a gun in her head exactly what he was, a ******? Seem to me if she voted for, spoke out for and donated money to a half negro for President she doesn't need to "think about what she said".

Paula Deen isn't a Conservative, she was a vocal Obama supporter and donator.

Actually, "Politically Incorrect" has been replaced and Bill Maher has a new show.
If you'd check HBO once in a while, you'd see that Bill Maher has a show that is now called "Real Time With Bill Maher", and if you'd actually watch the show, you'd also see that not only does it include left wing types like himself, but he also seems to season the show with a lot of right wing types as well.
I mean shit......................he's even had tea baggers on there to express their viewpoints, even at the round (or rather, roundish triangle) table.

Well yeah..it was.
But Maher was out of work for a while..and he's still pretty bitter about it.
But the point was, no conservatives were lamenting the show's demise. They actually were celebrating it.

Really? He was out of work for a while and was bitter about it?
Really?
Sorry, but Real Time is much bigger than what Politically Incorrect ever could have thought about being.
I mean....................instead of Christine O'Donnell showing up to talk about how she had sex, he now has many people who are movers and shakers instead of being third rate talk show candidates.
Hate to tell you, but many of Bill Maher's guests have outshined Christine (I'm not a witch) on a regular basis and have done much better.
Matter of fact, I'd love to see Bill Maher have her on his show as a round table participant.
It would be fun to see her taken apart.
Maher also argues with D'Souza about the comments he made about 9/11 that cost him his job with ABC.
