Many people will lose their jobs because of all this. Seems like the innocent bystanders always get caught in the crossfire. With work hard to come by, it's a shame for people
who have done nothing wrong to lose their incomes. |

I agree 100% It is interesting that today I was reading comments on another blog and many were saying how offensive she was because of this and that. Many times the posters called her a f'ing idiot and used that term many times on the thread.....Now THAT IS OFFENSIVE to me. It amazes me that so many think she has used offensive language but feel perfectly comfortable using THAT term. |
Said perfectly, most people do not see their own prejudices when speaking, it's amazing.......

She are what she are. :doh:

I read this morning her publisher dumped her and her new cookbook due to be released in October is a no go. It's getting to the point where Vegas could start odds on what company is next in the Deen Dump. What a shame, really. I never liked her but to see someone have it all and then throw it away is just sad.

I am not familiar with her or her work, but I really don't much care what she said. I would care much more about what she has done. It's the actions of a person that tell us who they really are.

The whole thing really is a shame. Every one of these incidents get spun completely out of control and it's the top of the world for the media. Her first mistake was improper damage control. She only should have simply made one statement and kept her mouth shut after that. When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Do I ever agree with your statement. There are three words that seem to be used interchangeably but have very different meanings...racist...prejudiced and bigoted. Most people are racist, meaning that they prefer those of their own race (whatever that might be). Predujice meaning making a judgement without knowing the facts and bigot which is one who is intolerant of any opinionnbut his own. All people are racist but because we are intelligent and hopefully empathic beings, we try to move beyond our instinctual feelings. Please learn to use the correct word when identifying an emotion and it is an emotion, not a fact! |
But Is that all she did?
I believe that what she said is unacceptable but that is not all she has done IMHO. She plays on her "Southernism" but that does give her the right make snide remarks about other areas or to make crass remarks about the South. I think she has not incorporated an adequate "filter" in her speech or in her actions. Now, however, she is faced with no longer being everyone's little sweetie and she is scrambling to excuse herself. I personally think it is time to hand the dynasty on to her sons. She talks about how during the riots black people spoke badly about white people as do Rappers. Maybe her Mom forgot to tell her "Two wrong nevr make a right." Just Saying!

The corporations that have dropped Ms Deen: The Food Network, Wal-Mart, Target, Smithfield Farms, QVC, K-Mart, Sears, J C Penney, Home-Depot, etc. have one thing in common. They are all big corporations that have big legal departments and big public relations departments. It seems after all the facts became known, these companies decided Ms Deen was more of a liability than an asset.
