It's hard to pick one bad guy from the players in the Paula DEEN
affair. Should it be the lawyers who brought the case or the MSM that
blew it into the biggest scandal in the cooking world, or the Gold
digger after some bucks.
All should be hung on the cross till
dead. They ruined the career of a fine Southern lady over something we
all have done a time or two in our lives. Hell I grew up in Baltimore
where the word was fairly common in the 50's , used in all kinds of
ways, some derogatory, some in something like endearment. Don't think
for a minute that last was a mean thing, it isn't it was life in the
50's. Hell it even carried over into the submarine navy. At one point
in time I was brought up on racial charges for a guy who worked for
me. On the way to see the captain two fellow shipmates stopped me and
said wait we want to talk to the captain first (yep , they both were
black) Needless to say I got off clean as I should have, after all I
wanted of that troop was to work till I laid my tools down for the day.
Paual
was raised up in the deep south where that word was used on a regular
basis and yes in the wrong way, but it was and in some cases still is
today. It was as wrong then and it is now. But Paula hasn't been
guilty of using that word in a long long time..She would have never made
the big time if she did.
So what do we see
here,, We see the only thing lower than whale shit, (lawyers) looking
for a big paydays and a news service that feeds on bullshit . Of
course the big business of Media immediately pulled the chickenshit
label and dumped Paula's shows followed by her sponsors. One after one
they dumped her and destroyed a long career , over what? An old old
story long past meaning anything.
What does
this prove? It proves we are a nation of lemmings ,,, what one does we
all do.. Does anyone ever stop and say ,,"Wait a minute is there any
truth to this" In this case the answer in NO. The sad part of this
story and thousands of others like it is . when the case was settled
without payment or fees to anybody, pointing out it was bullshit from
the git go you saw barely a mention of it in the news... Didn't bring
back Paula's shows or sponsors , it just made a good southern girl
cry..Shame on the lawyers,shame on the networks and the news and the
sponsors for not stopping for just a minute ans ask "What the hell is
going on here" and we are to blame too , we should have stood by her
stronger than we did. We are left to just hope she can find a way back ,
meantime I guess we can make it up a little
I think Paula got a raw deal too.
