She's okay with having black people SERVE you, but it wouldn't do to let them use the entrance just like they're anybody else, now would it?<br /><br />I have a lot of problems with Paula Deen. Number one is simply that she is not sincere. I don't believe a word out of her mouth - she's all about the money and fame. Fortunately, that type usually gets brought down. Her comeback absolutely cannot stick, because she's not worthy.OKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485452090706289038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-42873873550918679162014-02-26T14:31:51.329-08:002014-02-26T14:31:51.329-08:00@RowdyRod

She should have had better counsel when she was deposed, to require that certain details be better explained since she is a public figure so of course she's going to be quoted. Instead, she made a rookie mistake and figured since she wasn't guilty of the charges, then she shouldn't need hardcore counsel during a deposition. Mistake. Case in point, the perception that she said she wanted blacks to serve at her son's wedding. She never said that. She said she wanted it to be like a restaurnt where the servers where dressed very neatly, etc. It was that presentation she wanted (crisp, white shirts, black pants, antebellum decor, etc) . Then she was asked if the servers at that restaurant were black. The answer was yes. It was a restaurant in Georgia in the 1950's. That is not the same as saying, "I want black people to serve."Jennifer H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05829765567260281279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-72177523234723792292014-02-26T10:41:13.950-08:002014-02-26T10:41:13.950-08:00Right on, @scissors.

I have yet to make something from it, but it's healthier versions of a lot of Paula's food. I'm sure I'll blog about it when I whip something up from it. It looks good!!<br /><br />This country loves a comeback story so let's see how it unfolds. I have a feeling she's going to bounce back. Not saying that's right or wrong, just saying. I thought the whole situation with her losing virtually every endorsement under the sun and Food Network dropping her was outrageous. There are celebrities in every genre: music, athletics, acting, politics who do vile vile things and they all get second chances. So, why shouldn't Paula. A lesser person would have just lied under oath. At the end of the day, she got fired for what she said under oath. At the time of her firing it was all she said vs. she said. That's why it was very baffling to me.<br /><br />And you know, I do think an old person can change his or her ways. Thirty years ago if you asked my 70-year-old Dad, a straight up Italian Catholic Republican about his thoughts on gay marriage, he no doubt would not please many of you. Fastforward to current times: He's attended two gay weddings of my cousins and has supported them, their partners, their lifestyles with open arms. He loves them and does not judge them. He would do anything for them. So, I guess my point is, we can grow up with certain beliefs but over time we can realize that those beliefs aren't always right.<br /><br />And, I like Paula and I do believe that she has probably learned a great deal from the entire situation. <br /><br />Go ahead and call me a racist now.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217948152486483280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-20127577541597391082014-02-26T10:14:18.564-08:002014-02-26T10:14:18.564-08:00Dear troll, I <3 u!Dear troll, I <3 u!Claudeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407658340903004885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-54521650013629514592014-02-26T10:08:32.140-08:002014-02-26T10:08:32.140-08:00YES TO THIS!! ^^YES TO THIS!! ^^Claudeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407658340903004885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-16323083910679650032014-02-26T09:59:35.578-08:002014-02-26T09:59:35.578-08:00Oh please, you give People magazine too much credi...Oh please, you give People magazine too much credit, like they have an opinion about her.

No, she made her black employees work and enter through the back of her restaurant so as not to be seen and tried to throw an antebellum themed wedding with blacks playing servants. It was about more than the n-word.<br /><br />Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423517865900586295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-85326264566022512412014-02-26T09:48:52.427-08:002014-02-26T09:48:52.427-08:00She should give a lot of $$$ to naacp and then sh...She should give a lot of $$$ to naacp and then she and galliano could be great amigosleemonada76https://www.blogger.com/profile/09011931486631017426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-75914015158002674672014-02-26T09:17:24.670-08:002014-02-26T09:17:24.670-08:00Talk about an air brushed cover!Talk about an air brushed cover!roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14125567519071264042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-84631695662026804332014-02-26T09:13:17.873-08:002014-02-26T09:13:17.873-08:00@Kimba Cameo were hot!@Kimba Cameo were hot!Leekalicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562549815982434710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-85168177156231543122014-02-26T08:34:25.346-08:002014-02-26T08:34:25.346-08:00@TTM, I saw Cameo in Seattle in the mid 80's -...@TTM, I saw Cameo in Seattle in the mid 80's - I was a bad teen!<br />#iheartredcodpieceKimbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703346675911269254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-76235649075749631332014-02-26T08:11:50.024-08:002014-02-26T08:11:50.024-08:00Kimba!
