Paula Deen is Bad and Bad For You
« on: June 19, 2013, 07:12:08 AM »

Quote
When asked by Lisa’s Atlanta-based attorney if she’d ever used the N-word, Paula responded, “Yes, of course,” and gave examples of times she used the offensive term.

In terms of telling racist jokes, Paula said, “It’s just what they are — they’re jokes…most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can’t determine what offends another person.”

A friend of mine has met Paula Deen personally, and... well, let's just say he holds the woman in pretty low regard all around.

I'm still kinda infuriated by the whole not-disclosing-her-diabetes-for-several-years thing.

There's certainly an argument to be made that nobody was going to mistake her recipes for health food in the first place, but still, it's pretty damn bad form.

Paula Deen is racist as all get out, admins should probably change the default avatar everyone got to avoid odd questions

I don't think it's a default anything; I think Kazz just changed everybody's avatar to Deen as a joke like four years ago.  Which means, AFAIK, that it's an individual setting and there's no bulk remove option.  (The other admins can correct me if I'm wrong.)

I don't even know who's still got the avatar (besides Arc, and if he wants to change it he can come back and do it himself).  It's going to show up here and there in old threads with posts by people who left without changing it; if there's anyone in particular you see it on and would like it removed from I'll see what I can do.

Or you could try and talk them into coming back!  I miss the old crew.

I don't think anybody's going to mistake that avatar as being pro-Deen.

It was more a joke to keep the subject matter of "Someone is racist as fuck in this day and age" a bit light.

It'd be more disturbing if Paula Deen seemed more like a normal person and not some kind of wailing ghost of Dixie, even without the N-words.

The link description doesn't really explain what's so WTF about that. Are we surprised that Food Network is telling racists to "peace out"? Are we surprised that Paula Deen canceled an interview and instead had her own press group cobble together an apology video that had heavy editing instead of doing several takes to have her say what should have been simple? Are we WTFing over how the first edit of the video interrupts her after her first line of monologue?

I think it's just a continuation of the 'Paula Deen is Mad Racist' discussion, which started in this thread but could probably be split off into its own thing, now.

Also, I like to imagine that the multiple edits are because every take kept degenerating into full-on, Mel Gibson style crazy racism rants.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Can one of you guys drive me to the hospital?  I feel like my apathy's getting ready to burst.
