Why Is Paula Dean Getting Slammed For Using the N Word 30 years ago?

It sounds like they're being sued as a business.

It would depend upon the nature of the suit and local laws, as well as his business relationship with Paula, as to if he could be sued. It may be that he is also being sued, but because he's not as famous as Paula, nobody gives a shit, and its not being reported in the media.

gul, there's just no getting around your own words - "We can't whine about the world we live in, because we are masters of that world. In absolute terms, not true, but it's close enough."

Do I think you're a racist? No more than Paula Deen.

My family and I tried to eat at her restaurant in Savannah GA. but when we found out that there was a 3 hour wait we went elsewhere. The guidebook my wife got from the library never mentioned that you pretty much have to get reservations.

Proof that you've got nothing. Congratulations on your spam award.

Fuckin' A, Clyde is the new Garamet, only more obvious.

Except unlike garamet you can't put Clyde on ignore.

Actually, Clyde is WF's Dancing Merengue Dog.

He's your reward for creating the Faux Garamet Meme because you insisted on binary answers.

Be careful what you wish for.

Good grief, these are your words bubba - "We can't whine about the world we live in, because we are masters of that world. In absolute terms, not true, but it's close enough."

You are referring to white males and why they shouldn't be allowed an opinion.

What now?

Yeah, I've often been likened to other members. Most notably marathon, but also John Castle, Volpone, Diacanu, Captain X... so being called the new garamet is no surprise.

But more than that I don't mind, I'm happy to be included in their company.

If true I disagree. You can't ignore warnings but you should be able to ignore posts. Truth is staff folks can't ignore anybody but everybody else should be able to.

That's what you got from that? I'm gonna start calling you VisionClyde. You're either stupid or purposefully obtuse. Neither is a very distinguishing trait.

Guess I'll add this so-called VisionClyde to the list.

ps - It's okay if you misspoke

Appropriately enough, given the thread title's reference to "Paula Deen getting slammed," she's been offered a six-figure check by a porn site.

Well, OK, I guess it's not all that appropriate, since they're only asking her to endorse the site, not star on it.

I bet this was her plan all along!

Is that six fiugres including after the decimal point?

Anyway, to heck with endorsing - her and old war-horse Ron Jeremy should team up. I can write the screenplay!

Well it looks like Paula may not be a Lone Ranger! One of the cast of Big Brother has said it and is reaping the whirl-wind. And her last name is Zimmerman - which I find interesting.

Big Brother....is that shit STILL going?!

I don't watch it - I think my daughter does.

Para says this whole mess is horrible!
Awful!
Unjust!
Unfair!
... to me.

Those Paula Dean pots made easy christmas gifts thanks to black friday shopping.

Para demands this woman be given a second chance!

^eBay is your friend.

Nah, because most of the time when staff give warnings they aren't warnings in the system, but just posts telling people to knock it off.

Yeah, in-thread warnings would be ignored. Still, there's no reason staff commentary shouldn't be ignorable.

WTF when she pleaded "I is what I is...."
Is she trying to be all hip and speak in her version of Ebonics or what?

It would have been cool if she said:
"I is what I is....and that's all what I is....I'm Paula the sailor Ma'm."

gul I am not satisfied with your answer. Please explain your racism.
