Does Paula Deen owe an apology?

[jeffdt]

Hell NO!

 

[Ritchard]

Just saw in AJC that Jesse Jackson is planning to "investigate". Must either be a good photo op or someone to extort money from.

The only thing Jesse Jackson needs to investigate is his own son.

Seems pretty unanimous here. Since the Food Channel fired her, maybe she will come at the next ODT meet and greet.

Well tell me this I must be racist. Because the way I look at things I guess, did anyone ask lil Wayne for an apology when he stomped all over this country's flag? I don't recall it. But they ask Paula dean to say she is sorry? Get the hell out of here, I would of apologized, I would of said I am sorry that I got caught saying it. Nah I wouldn't even then. But I love my country and I am polite to everyone, but when they start telling us we can't pray on tv,our kids school, or anything like that you have to step back and say, glad I own guns. And what is this world coming too.

Is that like 'mostly dead'? She was in a racial discrimination and sexual harrassment suit and apparently used racial slurs in 2007. I'm pretty sure most employers would relieve you of your duty in that situation, especially if your job was essentially public relations for the organization.

"The lawsuit alleges that, while discussing with Jackson plans for Hiers' 2007 wedding, Deen said she wanted a "true southern plantation-style wedding."
"Well, what I would really like is a bunch of little n***** to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around," Deen said, according to the lawsuit."

Doesn't matter what the situation is, people should only apologize if they are sorry. If they are not, truck on and let the chips fall where they may.

Pretty stupid thing to say, but the fact that this is even a blip in the news is the real problem.

 

[Indirect Fire]

I'm pretty sure most employers would relieve you of your duty in that situation, especially if your job was essentially public relations for the organization.

That whole "right to work" thing cuts both ways.

That whole "right to work" thing cuts both ways.

Nah, just the right way.
