I've been following this chain of events as closely as I used to follow Paula Deen's cooking advice!

(really, autocorrect? "Paula Queen"?)

More important topic:

Let's find other places to link from than the Huffington Post.  They are even worse than Paula Deen.  At least she was going to pay her minstrel show.

This has spawned a fairly amusing tumblr collecting screenshots of white people publically freaking out at Food Network, including an especially insane exchange from Anne Rice(yes, that Anne Rice) where she explains that Paula Deen is the REAL victim here, and anyway, racism isn't really racism unless you say it directly to a black person's face with the intent of hurting them. Or something.

Anne Rice is a white lady from NOLA, I don't see how its at all shocking that she might act exactly like a white lady from New Orleans be racist.

General observation, please don't think I'm singling out Joxam here:

Am I the only person who finds it weird that it's acceptable to criticize a person for being racist and also judge them based on the location of their birth?

Brent, firstly, I was making a joke. Secondly, no I don't think so. Look man I usually don't get into the specifics of my family but you know that I've got family in the deep south, right?

Texas to be exact.

I literally have cousins who are half native and half Mexican who post stuff on their facebook about Obama being both a monkey and the anti-Christ, and about how all the wetback should take their asses back to their own country. Did I mention that my family is Mexican?

Do I think that intelligent, enlightened, people who fight for equality can come from the south? Of course I do.

Do I think its the norm? Hell fucking no.

I don't think I've ever talked about it here, but I am genuinely glad mom got us the fuck out of Texas when she did. I look at my cousin Clifton to be specific, who, aside from my brother was my best friend when I was a kid, and see that he's turned into a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic bastard and I'm afraid of how I might have turned out had I not been taken out of that environment at the age I was.

Of course, my only interaction with the south was in the most poverty stricken areas, so I guess I don't know much about the upper-class in the south.

And also in my really shitty joke I left out OLD white lady when I said white lady. I do think our generation and possibly my mom's generation is a lot LESS racist than the generation who was around before the civil rights movement.

Texas is kinda gray area as far as "deep south" goes.

Doesn't really take away from your point, though.

As someone who is from the not-Texas inarguably Deep South: fucking this.

There's a really great stand-up guy I used to know who doesn't come by our regular internet haunts anymore. He was a fairly intelligent, liberal guy and his immediate family were decent folks too. He and his whole family are from Alabama.

Once he showed me a picture of him at the local campus Democrats meeting or whatever. There's maybe a dozen people. Then he told me that those were the only declared Democrats in his whole school.

Interesting sidenote: His family are Faulkners, close relatives of the writer. But they're from the smaller branch that apparently loathes the dude with total passion.
