She really has no idea what consitutes a "hostile work environment" and that it is really NBD to look at porn a work. (I know lots of folks who would LOVE that at their workplace! Woot!)The bathrooms in the front were for customers only, staff (of all races and pursuasions) had a separate facility. That is hardly contoversial. I really don't care that she used the "n word, in a private coversation, after an upsetting traumatic encounter with a bank robber. Of course she used it growing up. The "ick" for me was when she went on and on about the "plantation wedding" idea with black waiters and it would recall another era, the pre civil war era was mentioned specifically. The idea was dismissed because she new people would "take it the wrong way". Um Paula, there is nothing right about that. Romatisizing slavery is abhorrant.<br /><br />That said, I feel the blowback has been excessive, especially as it appears that (as usual) no one in the media did their homework and actually read the deposition and are just riffing off the excerpts, which are out of context and inflammatory. Bill Maher rightly pointed out that Limbaugh, Trump and Palin are blatant obvious, virulent racists, ("shucking and jiving"? Really Sarah?)and they are still on TV and radio. When and if they fuck up and use the N word they might lose their jobs, but until then they are free to spout their bigotry with impunity.

Cruelty isn't funny. It borders on the kind of misogyny aimed at Martha Stewart, Sarah Palin, and even Gwynneth Paltrow recently.

The much defended freedom of speech they love to trot out when one of their own enables treason seems to disappear when the topic is race not espionage. And apparently the proper punishment for the supposed racist offender is financial destruction rather than a prison term. I'm by no means a Paula Deen fan and I really don't like the South or its culture, but this feeding frenzy by the oh-so-righteous press makes me sick. To date, literally no evidence has been presented that suggests that Paula Deen is a racist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-22453526016893868792013-06-27T11:59:13.740-04:002013-06-27T11:59:13.740-04:00I have a hunch the above Anon just MIGHT be on of ...I have a hunch the above Anon just MIGHT be on of the guys demanding a special prosacutor to look into the 157 visits of the IRS.
