The foolish Paula Deen is getting her just deserts; what with everyone that previously decided to pay her money saying they no longer wish to. Obviously they recognize the public is not with her, so all her prior associates are now decoupling their previously hitched wagons. If they thought the public was with Deen they'd be defending her. Do you think they really care about her using the N-word if they thought the public would forgive here and there was still money to be made? Absolutely not.
A lawsuit filed against Deen is how we learned she used a racial slur decades ago. She honestly admitted she used the offensive word in question. "Of course" she said. She also admitted to "fantasizing about throwing a slavery-themed wedding for her brother". She "apologized" for those things, but only because she was worried that what happened to her (corporate sponsors/employers cutting ties with her) might happen.
That is a clue that this all about the money. The lawsuit filer who complained about a racially insensitive workplace (as well as sexual harassment) is lying. A tearful Deen does not admit she allowed racially insensitive language and jokes in her place of business. Nor sexual harassment. None of that happened according to Deen.
So she says she is sorry for what she said during the deposition for the lawsuit she is defending herself against, but she isn't sorry about how she wronged the person who filed the lawsuit... because Lisa T. Jackson is a liar.
If you ask me who I believe -- Paula and her brother Bubba Hiers or Lisa Jackson -- I say Paula Deen is the dishonest one. So why did she tell the truth about using the N-word in the deposition? Because she didn't think it was a big deal. She said "of course". She thought she had a good excuse, as she said it about a man that had a gun to her head during a bank robbery. But why didn't she say "yes, but..." and then insert her explanation? Why did she say "of course"?
She said "of course" because racial insensitivity is no big deal in Paula's eyes. And that racial insensitivy is not a big deal to Deen is why it was accepted in her place of business. The lawsuit filed by Lisa Jackson, a manager in Deen's restaurants in Savannah GA, says "even though she herself was white, she [was] distressed by Paula and her brother's racist comments because her partner had a biracial niece".
If you ask me if I believe Paula Deen and that Lisa Jackson is a liar, I say "of course NOT". Come on, we all know Deen never changed. Just last year (according to Jackson) Deen said she'd like her bother's wedding to include "tap dancing little n***ers". Conservatives are saying ridiculous things like the Left wanting to stone or lynch Deen, but we don't want that. We just say she should go away. Take your millions (less whatever Lisa Jackson is awarded when she wins her lawsuit) and retire.
This is an example of Liberal political correctness gone awry. As far as the lawsuit against Deen goes, it hasn't been resolved yet. You speak as if it's over and Deen has been found guilty already. I the chick who filed the lawsuit overheard a few risque jokes and thought she could get rich suing Deen. She's an example of a jealous Lib who wants to sponge off the success of others.
ReplyDeleteNice blog you have begun here... have you called it quits? I'd be interested in following you if you come back with more commentaries. We need all the Liberal bloggers we can get, IMO.
