BREAKING NEWS – Savannah, Georgia – Paula Deen who is currently in damage control, made a slip of the tongue that has gotten her into even more trouble, while being interviewed on “Entertainment Tonight”. She stated that she plans on telling her side of the story to all of the black leaders in her community in the near future. Deen concluded by saying that she is currently planning on having the conference during a backyard barbecue at one of her plantations.
Ok she is not a racist, just a bit insensitive concerning her speech. Using the word “plantation” while trying to defend herself against a racist charge shows racism isn’t in her. She would’ve been cognizant of her guilt. This shows that she is not aware of it because she isn’t a racist. How many Blacks have used the word “Cracker” when describing whites? Yet, they have white friends. Names are given sometimes as a retort to a crimes or an indignant response to a racist action, a crime against them, or some other outrageous action by someone.
LOOK lets speak honestly,she knew the meaning of the word,her guilt from the past led her in a different direction,a better one.I am a christian,i have used it in the past and it was headed to the person who i felt disgust and contempt for.I don’t like blacks sending me back to a time i did nothing to hurt people of color and if they chose to call me racial names that they never experienced but was taught.Then i guess they better come looking for me cause i don’t beg for forgiveness or apologize.My family never owned a slave,and my family will NOT suffer because others chose.BUT those like the ass wipe little wayne who trampled on my flag get NO RESPECT FROM ME OR AN EXCEPTED APOLOGY.
Ginger I am so happy God doesn’t judge the way we do. How do we think our sins will be forgiven if we can’t forgive those who sin against us? Jesus even taught his disciples with a parable concerning this. From what I hear, this happened some time ago. Why are we rehashing now? There is another motive being played out here.
Cleophas, I think you’re reaching with this one. I can’t say anyone is or isn’t a racist by what “I” think they meant by a statement or word. Intent is the sole property of the one who owns it and no other person is privy to that information. Who can know what I meant or intended? All they can do is assume. I just know I don’t like the word and also I don’t like ANYONE using it, black or white. But most importantly I don’t like censorship. I think this opens the door for censorship of anything that people can file under P.C. and P.C. is a way to move an agenda along without anyone speaking out against it.
I can also agree with what you have just said. No one can really know another’s heart. This was truely an opinion on my part. However, I did base it on my knowledge of human nature. Flawed? Maybe, but still it’s best to let old dogs lie. I also agree with yout accessment on how this might be used.
OH! Goodness, she just lives in a altered reality that she has built on the backs of anyone that she think better than, and color is just a convenience so she can sort how better she is, mire easily……Bwwahahahnabwahahah……not politically correct….anyone older than 60 years old!
On who’s back may I ask? Because she’s an entrepreneur? And as for altered reality, when did political correctness enlightened anyone? Where’s the reality of always worrying about every word that comes out of your mouth because thin skinned group of losers who can’t tough out life and have to rely on some Gov’t entity to fight all their battles? And now being 60 plus is crime and probably should be set aside somewhere or worse! Can’t wait until youre 60 and see how relevant you are to the people you teach this garbage to!
So what? I would love to come to a back yard barbecue at her plantation. Yes plantations have a remote association in the not so distant past with slavery but not always. Besides that has nothing to do with me now. We’ve got to stop being so sensitive and get on with more important issues people.
She needs to shut up and cook.
People, are you kidding me? This article is from Unconfirmed Breaking News and you’re actually taking the insanity from the boneheads at this lunatic website serious? They are here strictly for the laughs! I know there is some truth in what was written here about Paula Deen being true, but keep in mind, a lot of it is satire! And BTW, I love this website where everyone is fair game!
I thought this one might spin out of control a bit. At this time people love her or hate her, she has become a polarizing figure. She was a fool for what she said years ago but the media has driven this, manipulating everyone involved now. Making jokes about this one will draw fire no matter what side your on.
Whatever happened to good old fashion satire?
Look! When Blacks stop calling each other the “N” word and blaming everone else for thier issues and stop the runaway black on black crime, then talk to me about this. Otherwise, please take your (referring to the writer of this article!) “self loathing hypocritical, never cared about blacks to begin with” self and promptly take a long walk on a very short pier!
Ralph, “self loathing” you say? Do you take this same type of pointless animosity towards articles on “The Onion” or maybe “Weekend Update on SNL”? The articles is satire, and you’re actually getting worked up and taking it serious? INCREDIBLE!!! There are at least five disclaimers in the heading telling people not to take these zany articles serious. You might want to take few steps back and take a look at what has you so worked up.
I’d rather be at a BBQ on a plantation than in some small ragedy backyard in the hood!
