Her groveling didn't help her at all in the end. They still dumped her.
Eventually, people are gonna stop apologizing for racist sins, when America sinks into third world status and everybody admits they hate each other. When the old media is destroyed, and the amateur media reigns, they're probably be a white supremacist cooking show.

I'm not sure what pissed me off more: Deen's use of the racial insult or the sanctimony of white people in the media who live in 99.9 percent white towns trashing her for it.
We are what we do, not what we say. You can shame "racists" all you like, but if you move to the exburbs, live in a gated community, and send your kids to lily white schools, who is the real racist?

I can't agree more. I've recently taken to saying more racist things, not out of hate, but just to piss off silly SWPL types. But, only in situations where (at least I think) it's clear by my actions I'm not racist but making satirical commentary about how people think dropping a slur is the worst thing in the world and makes you prejudice, yet they they conveniently ignore facts like that if you but a traditional black name on a resume, it gets half the response as a traditional white name (all else being equal). People seem to hate blatant racism, but so long as they remove themselves from it and don't even have the option to be its fine. I feel you shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion on these things until you deal with it on a daily basis. They focus all their energy's on removing huck finn from the classroom, but don't bother to ask why there are no teachers of colour.
What's worse, the guy who treats everyone equal but has certain sounds coming out of his mouth that society has deemed 'bad', or the guy who uses every proper PC term but still doesn't hire blacks? A good many people would say the former.
Anti-prejudice has seem to taken hold over the language, and not the deeper routed honest feelings and actions.
Read an interesting book about an austistic kid (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) and he goes on about how people aren't supposed to call him spastic, but instead they just make fun of him by calling him "Special Needs! Special Needs!" How is that any better? I honestly don't get where this obsession over terms came from.
Even goes so far as that you can't use phrases like "To call a spade a spade" or terms like "Niggardly" which absolutely have nothing to do with anything racist. So I'm the racist because you're ignorant.

Elvis Costello once famously called Ray Charles the n-word in public. If you see your SWPL friends clapping themselves on the back for being "enlightened" about Deen's firing, be sure to send them any of these link:
Quote:The admissions are part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her.
Its good to see people taking money from those great white devils. Hopefully the NAACP will find a way to take the rest of her $16M. Where you at Jesse?

You do know that Lisa Jackson is White?
Quote:Jackson, who is white, was hired at the restaurant in February 2005 and within months was promoted to general manager.
But I digress, It just funny the level of hamsters defending Deene's actions. This is 100% her fault, EEOC case law is easily accessible online. Plus whose dumb enough to admit to having use the N word at a work place during a disposition of a hostile work environment lawsuit? She now has to put her big girl panties on and lie on the bed she made.
Also, Reading between the lines, I get the feeling that some Whites resent not being able to use the N word while sober in real life without repercussions like their grand poppi's probably did at work and around the diner table. Get over it, you are not in the 60's anymore. The bottom line is that if you want to use the N word at work in the presence of people you don't know very well. Go ahead and knock yourself out. Use it. But then don't start belly aching and crying that your pussy hurts when the "PC Police" and multi culturalism gets you shit canned from your job.
That whole Chirs Rock, "I know the difference between niggers and Black people" routine is not going to work if you are White. Also, what sup when people get called out on using racist slurs, they always say "I have Black friends"? In the words of Bill Maher, that's like a pedophile telling you that his best friend is a kid.

I defend her actions on the basis of equality. If everyone is equal and everyone is colour blind, and there are zero inherent differences between anyone based on race or sex, (As opined by a good many) why is it ok for certain people to use that language, and not others, based entirely on the colour of their skin? Sounds racist to me. And why the huge focus only on language? The real race problems are those things that where all else is equal, certain groups of people still get the shaft.
In Canada here someone called the cops because there was a black postman in the neighborhood and they thought he looked suspicious. Or like I mentioned in the other post about all else being equal, black people are called back much less frequently for jobs. Those are the issues that need tackling, not language.
At the same time I agree with you she was a dumbass for saying those things in a public forum, she should have known better, and generally too when I'm around people I don't know and actually who i'm trying to make a good impression with, try to keep that sort of language to a minimum. That said, why am I expected in that sense to 'get it', while a woman who dresses like a slut, and then gets treated like a slut, doesn't have to 'get it' that that's how the world works, and she should know better?

Do you agree then that the same rules should be applied to blacks or whoever uses racial epithets against white people?
Because you know very well they aren't right?
