Paula Deen Accused Of Using The N-Word, Y'ALL!

I'm no forensic psychologist, but some of the accusations are specific enough to seem true. For instance, who the f@#k would think up the phrase "n-bomb rig" on her own?
___________________________________________

I was probably 18years old before i found out that isn't the common term it seems to be here. ...even black people say "ni--er rig" when it refers to half assed fixing something. My exhusband...a black guy from South America..was the first to point out (to another black person) that it was Jerry-Rig..or Jury-Rig depending on who you ask

As far as all the other harassment issues etc..
Having worked in only restaurants my whole life, and having worked in them in the South and Mid_West, I can assure you that some of this is really common. Sexual harassment, sexist attitudes, racial harassment etc tends to happen A LOT in the kitchen. I had a manager in Indiana who frightened the hell out of me. He would lock you in the office with him and rub against you. There were numerous complaints and nothing done..and as a young girl, suing wasn't on my mind, keeping my job so I could eat was more important than trying to get him fired.
As a Savannah resident, I can totally understand how this woman MAY have worked 5 years with all this going on. Jobs are so damn hard to come by here and lots of people will tolerate all kinds of bullshit til one day when they've just had enough.

It makes not one whim of difference. Paula being from the South and mega-rich obviously a disgruntled employee is going to run to the press and say their foe called everyone "n*gger". I find it as believable as saying Paula made a pass at her. You know what ex President and First Lady have been on her show repeatedly? The Carters.

It's funny, last election the accusation of being "racist" was hurled at Bill Clinton. I don't think he's ever forgiven the Obama camp for that. But he is from the South and then there's that accent. I bet he calls even the dog a "n*gger".

Darling, you also broke this shit down, and you are right about the racial harassment trumping the sexual one. To quote Cornel West, race matters.

I am interested to see what happens next. Are Paul and her husband going over to the Neely's now with homemade peach cobbler to show everyone how much they love black people? Because I love black people but hate the Neely's. Can we talk about those cornball assholes for a moment? All that lovey dovey shit with their hideous sexual innuendo when they cook (Oh honey, pass me some sugar! Oh, you bet baby, here is my sweet sugar!! VOMIT.) You know that his wife is a bitch, and he, understandably, is into gay porn.

Yes, the Neely's should come out with a press statement defending their friend and the woman who dumped them on an unsuspecting public, Paula Deen. You know, that usual shit: We have known and loved Paula for years, blah, blah, kind woman, blah, blah,, loves our kids, blah, blah, she has so much soul in her that she smokes blunts, blah, blah, it's like Paula is black because she is so real, blah, blah, can't be true because Paula eats collard greens like their Aunt Mabel, blah, blah...

Molotov Cocktease:

I believe that America has lots of problems, sure, BUT...after living in other countries for the last ten years, I feel SO blessed to be a person of color from the United States. There really is no other country in the world where you can have *something* no matter what your race is. My heart goes out to my Black European friends who have been conditioned to accept less and just settle for whatever is given to them. They have no point of reference about true civil rights movements or demanding equality/parity.

I am an artist, and I work in several fields, so I have worked with hip-hop artists on both sides of the Atlantic and by and large, most of them DO understand the word 'n*gga' and its implications, but they are more interested in being 'hard' and 'down'. What this creates is a worldwide environment where people that are NOT black think they have the right to come up to me and spout off racist rants just because they heard it on a CD.

I really don't know anything about this Paula Deen trick. I've never heard her voice, seen her show, et cetera. But I will say I would not be surprised if she said it, whether it was malicious or not. My whole point of the word 'n*gga' is this: it is incendiary and should not be used.

Why would I use a word that still causes deep rifts in homes/communities? Why would I use a word that has NEVER been recognized as a formal term for black people?

I was called 'n*gga' TWICE in my life living in America? In Europe, I have lost count. It is really that rampant.

Using that word is just the easy way out. I have a smart mouth, a filthy mouth at times, et cetera. But there are MANY ways that I can issue a verbal slap without calling someone a racial epithet.

TheBreakdown - I'm reading this thread in my current [elevated] state and your name has never been more apropos because you are breaking it the fuck down! I agree with you about the need to get rid of the word, and the detriment that it and deceptive portrayals in the media are causing to all Americans, not just those who identify as Black.

I respect that you have the rare perspective of one who has not only experienced gross misrepresentations here, but has also seen the ramifications of those misrepresentations in other cultures who have only a cursory understanding of the actual history/connotation of the gestures, phrases, etc that they emulate. PREACH ON PREACHERMAN!

As a Black American (normally it's just "American" but it's relevant!), I despise most entertainment that is targeted to my demographic. It's depressing that Tyler Perry is considered the paragon of black film, when *most* of what I have seen are trite plots & heavy reliance on stereotypes. Same with most music. I just can't with the status quo and when I hear that shit I feel like hollering in the streets and banging on doors to wake people the fuck up!

Self-hating, willfully uneducated, shallow,selfish values are now the threads woven into the readily available media. I remember when rappers talked about selling crack they gave the impression that it was a bad thing with negative consequences. Now it's not a response to desperation, it's something to aspire to. It's almost mandatory to at least claim to either be [a dope-pushing, violent, abusive, shitty dude] or [an up in the club making it rain to impress people you don't even know perma-baller] to even attempt to get some radio play.

I am constantly intrigued by the the dubious timing of the mass praise and distribution of meaningless, self-obsessed images that are used to define what it means to be Black and how it coincided with the deteriorating family and community units, but perhaps that's for another day.

On the actual Topic - not outside the realms of possibility at all that she said that, but I'm actually more appalled by Bubba's harassment and surprised at how little attention it's gotten on here. Behold the mighty power of the N word!

"Kevin Keller will forever be a part of Riverdale, and he will live a happy, long life free of prejudice, hate and narrow-minded people." J. Goldwater

After living on both sides of the pond, in several countries, I will tell you that Black American culture is probably THE most copied aspect of American culture worldwide, in terms of music, clothes, et cetera. So guess what they think/say about Black Americans? Just guess?

I cannot tell you how many times I have had non-black people come up to me with "hey, n*gga!" Because they don't think Black Americans (and I say Black Americans only because if i say "African-American, they want to strip my American nationality from me) do anything but spit out the word 'n*gga' all day, get high, and speak ebonics that no one but them understand.

So imagine me, a Black American, living overseas and what I have to put up with from the MOMENT I step outo f my house until the MOMENT I return. I get stared at like I am an alien. I get asked if I am a rapper when I say I am a musician. They cannot wrap their heads around the fact that I speak proper English with no "ghetto" accent. They cannot wrap their heads around the fact that I don't wear hip-hop clothes or smoke grass all fuckin' day.

If these Black American rappers were forced to live overseas and find out first-hand how they would be treated, I GUARANTEE you they would 86 the offensive words that belittle Black Americans and Black culture from their vocabularies.

I know first-hand how racist America can be, but guess what? It is FAR worse outside of America. I believe America can still be, even in this day and age, a very racist country. However, I also believe that Americans are conditioned moreso than other countries to KNOW that there are certain things that are NOT cool to say in public, are NOT going to be welcome, and that if you feel that way, then you keep that racist/hurtful shit to yourself.

You all know what would happen if the boss of the company you were working for called you a n*gger and there were witnesses around. Well, I've been called that in Europe by a boss and NOTHING happened. And there is no recourse here, no NAACP to turn to for help. You are on your own to fight for your rights here, more or less.

I grew up in the south, have lived on both coasts of America and I will say that the most racist incidents I have encountered have been in cities where Americans are allegedly more liberal and open. By limiting racism to just the south in America, it is easier for other Americans to stomach, because they like to think people from the south are not as educated or are backwards.

Well, guess what? A large majority of people IN the north CAME from the south.

Know your history.

That is all.

I'm no forensic psychologist, but some of the accusations are specific enough to seem true. For instance, who the f@#k would think up the phrase "n-bomb rig" on her own? At first glance, the bathroom charge sounds a bit suspicious - a group of black employees wouldn't protest that sort of discrimination? - but on the other hand, it sounds like the white employees were given a "privilege" they shouldn't have been given, while the black employees were not given that same "privilege" - in other words, it's not something that those black employees really could have protested.

People are hard wired in their brains to stick with their own. It is how our species survived. Adults know there are lots more problems when people marry out of their group. It does not mean someone is racist. It most likely means they don't want you to have a difficult life.

You continuously claim you are a hardcore dem but still manage to make the most idiotic, generalized, unfounded statements that easily come from a Republican's mouth. I think you're on the wrong side of the political spectrum - but I doubt you understand that.

Those "problems" you speak of are usually caused by the people who want to "protect" someone from that "difficult" life. I gravitate toward a person's character and not their race.

You are so clueless, it's painful.

@Oh Dave, loved your post.

"Anthropologists debate whether race even exists."

One of my friends was raised in a small town... an oceanfront kind of town. Very white. One couple in that town decided to adopt a baby from Haiti. And that was way before it was "in" to do so.

That baby grew up to be the most popular kid in town. Everyone wanted to be his friend.

Well, the kid, along with my friend, had to go away to college. First day he got approached by a group of black men on campus, who started talking about them being brothers, and that he is welcome into their community.

Well, the kid simply held on tightly to my friend's arm, and whispered to her:

"Oh my God! What do those black people want with me?"

She looked at him like he was nuts.

Now that, is color blind! But unfortunately, to his own skin color, and not everybody else's.

When NWA called themselves that I do think it was valid. It was like punk rock. The effect over time has been that you now here that word constantly. My take on it is that it's nothing positive. I understand wanting to take away the power of a word, but then I guess you'd have to let everyone say it. Otherwise the word is still powerful?

And if you listen to some idiot like Rick Ross end every line of his rap with the word, it shows it for what it really has become, a cheap ploy.

The establishment has always wanted to keep black people ignorant and illiterate. Now if I look at a magazine like Vibe and see the way, not just the readers write, but the way the actual writers write, it looks like it is written by illiterates. It's a ploy.

Dr Dre makes some of the catchiest music I've ever heard but he's either confused or part of the system. You can say it's cool for him to say the word because he is black, but then what about when he says "faggot"? I love Wu Tang Clan but they say "faggot" also, and it sort of erodes the position about why it's cool to say "the n word."

Meanwhile, ever since I can remember we've been "nostalgic." That's bullshit. In the 70's with Happy Days, we were sold the 50's. Then people were nostalgic for the 80's. As long as we aren't thinking about right now and are trying to live in some sanitized version of the past, we aren't going to get anywhere.

The reason that some people, mostly black rappers, are able to get away with saying these things is because they are considered to be, and in many cases are, clowns, whose words mean nothing. It's been taken over and made to be stupid entertainment for stupid people.

I think that we are taught racism and it's in our language. I expressed this to a librarian I was working with who is black who looked at me and told me she is colorblind. Later she asked me to get her some "black books" I honestly pictured books that are black, but she meant books by black authors. (because it was black history month. "February, shortest month of the year" - Chris Rock) I didn't argue. She's in her 60's and grew up in Mississippi and I have no idea what she has had to endure.

Anthropologists debate whether race even exists. Can you imagine a world where we saw people as people? We've been taught these things because the people in charge need to keep us spinning our wheels. Meanwhile, they make the real decisions that affect us all while we listen to this nonsense and let it divide us.

Please. Deen is PWT who got lucky when she met that English guy who majorly pimped her out. The veneer is thin. Now she's been outed as all sorts of things: deceitful, money-grubbing, opportunistic and now possibly racist. Why is this surprising?

Lets be real. Racism goes across every race. Being married to someone another race than my own and having biracial children, we had to deal with racist comments from BOTH of our families. But by no means do i think the South is any more racist than the rest of America. And i dont give a fuck, the N-word is never fucking ok. NEVER for anyone non-black, and i m not too fond of black people using it either. The whole over-use to strip the word of its power is fucking bullshit. Its a hurtful word and i wish people would totally erase it from their vocabulary.

***********************

Eeeeek, I respectfully disagree.

We are actually genetically wired to look for the strongest and mate with them. As someone from Mediterranean descent, I can tell you that my people, like my ancestors, traveled the seven seas for centuries to explore this world and interact with different species of the human kind. They had married outside their tribes, they had interacted with other cultures, and often enough, they have easily acculturated to their new surroundings.

The only times "the family" was against a marriage, was when religion came into play. Even within the Christian religion. But my people shoved religion where it belongs, and still married into other cultures' faiths.

When idiots speak of purifying the blood, meaning marrying into their tribal traits, they are actually weakening their tribe. Which is reassuring, because the Nazi would have auto-destructed with time. There is actual study on such a tribe in contemporary world living in Northern Quebec (Canada) where people have been marrying within their village for decades, and now their children suffer from multiple congenital diseases, and had weakened their immune system in general.

You see, to actually "purify the bloodline", you have to marry the opposite of your DNA tribe make-up, which would complete your own, by making up for your weaknesses, in order to insure a stronger line of descendants. Only religious zeal will try and convince you otherwise.

@Whamo - It is an uncomfortable word...

Maybe someone that is black American can explain the use.

See, I remember slaves being promoted to oversee slaves. And to assume their superiority on their brothers and sisters, they did call them the N word. Which brings us back to calling the N word in order to remind someone of their inferiority...

When rappers started calling others the N word, first it was a superiority complex over the others... Than it became taking back the negativity of the N word, and making it positive. But still...

The only time a black man is called N*gger by another black man or woman, is when he is being called out on his wrong doing. Or when he is being insulted and bullied for trying to show off.

I still cannot see how the N word is empowering men and women of color. To my knowledge, it is still meant as a demeaning insult, as a reminder to someone not to aim high or look down their nose on others, not to overreach in life.

But then again, no one really says this nasty word around me... I have something of a flaring temper, and discriminating big mouth :D

Would like to hear from someone with more experience with black people uttering this word on the regular, and how it is perceived.

It's not only the South. I got a lot of unbelievably boneheaded comments from all sorts of people up here in the good ol' liberal Northeast, even some I would consider close friends, when I dated my black ex-bf (I am white). His friends threw shade at him too. And given the fact that he was a single dad too....some people just had a field day with that shit.

-----

Yes. And yeah, racism is not exclusive to the south. And it's not just white people, I've heard 'non-white' people make derogatory remarks about other races enough times. I think most other racists just know their audiences. A lot of southern racists, on the other hand, seem to be a bit more emboldened. I think it's largely an insecurity issue. There are still old people around here waiting to kick the bucket who are racist, and some people who've grown up in that environment and never managed to grow out of it. Quite honestly, the old-school racists are probably the least threatening because they'll all die soon enough.

I have no interest in defending racism, but it gets annoying to see people act as if the south is the exclusive metropolis of racism, and only spread amongst the white folks. Seriously? It's surprising to think some people have never heard or witnessed racist bullshit from other demographics--and to think that, worldwide, the American south has a monopoly on that market. Anyway, I think this is the last time I'm even going to try to 'defend' the idea that not all southerners sit on their porches eating fried food and drinking tea, talking about black people. If some people want to keep thinking we're all ignorant fucks, then go at it.

Honestly, they are shy and very respectful.

So no matter your leanings, your phobias, if these VERY POLITE AND RESPECTFUL PEOPLE, ask you for direction, why in heaven's sake would you call them Desert Niggars? Just give them direction, or say you don't know, and let them be on their way.

It doesn't matter what you believe in, but you have to have a bit of COMMON HUMAN DECENCY, and act accordingly when "strange ones" are in your town.

No one who is FROM here (savannah) has anything to do with Paula/Bubba/The Sons etc.
We try to steer tourists away from the horrible food. We also wish Paula was not the so called representative of our town, she's not even from here. Neither is her accent.

Older white people do tend to say "nigra" in the rural areas. my grandmother says it, and I'm pretty sure she's not racist as she loves my biracial children to death.

I miss some aspects of MY Texas, but not enough to go back. Even to attend a family funeral. East Texas can SUCK IT though. No one ever said a racist thing to me (at least to my face) in any other part of Texas, except East Texas. I hated living there.

I'm reading a lot of really insightful posts. I couldn't agree more about the "n" word.
There are always going to be racists and haters of every stripe, but being vigilant against discrimination and abuse of those less powerful can help take the haters' power away.
That means paying attention to politics, and voting.

Unfuckinreal.How is the job market in that thriving metropolis Texas town ;) Your friend being called names makes more money and in general has more happiness than those hill freaks. Also bigots deep down inside don’t even like each other, so when one dies off it’s usually a lonely sad death around a bunch of twitching bucky cockroaches like themselves in a putrid atmosphere. For now giggling, immaturity and the United States government keeps them alive. Yes white trash is scattered north too.

Yes every race can be and probably is guilty of racism, but why is it always white people in America who just cannot…evolve when they have so many means to? Not strong enough? Wish it were the 50’s again when you perfect angels had everything and nobody else did you spoiled brat weak-willed conformist prick fucks? Sick. Endless. YOU ASSHOLES ARE WEAK.

This is JMO and should be taken as such. I think a big reason why Blacks use the N word amongst themselves is because there is a certain amount of power taking a word back that for hundreds of years has always been used against them. It's something Black folks can say and Whites can't and because of this gives a certain empowerment. I think it comes down to "look what I can do and you can't". If people think It's somehow lost its viciousness and is somehow ok to use the word now because Black people say it all the time, throw the word around in a mixed crowd and see what sort of reaction you get. Regardless as to who uses the word it's still a nasty word but take into account the historical context of its past use and it might help explain why a Blacks use it now. Like I say this is my simple take on a complex issue.

The story sounds believable to me but I don't know it's true. I have seen people put up with a lot while other people ignore it, when I worked in a restaurant. One chef would harass a waiter he suspected was gay, and no one ever said anything to him. I didn't because I was 19 and needed the job and it was a good job, as far as restaurants go. The place won awards and I learned a lot working there. I don't think it was mean-spirited either, though, of course it should have been confronted.

I could imagine, if I worked at a restaurant owned by a famous person, and wanted to make a career of it, I might stick around and put up with some crap, especially if I came from a culture where this sort of garbage is tolerated.

Based on my personal experience with people I've met form the southern states, I can see this happening, and I can see the woman tolerating it until she was spit at. I think growing up in that culture can damage your self-esteem, and make you tolerate crap.

I've worked for bosses that were abusive because there were ways that I could tax them for it, without their knowledge. I worked for one woman that look much like Paula Dean, for four years. Everyone there hated her but she was usually in her office, and there were benefits to being there that made it tolerable. I did eventually walk out one day. She couldn't believe I was leaving. I had no evidence about her. Who has time to go home from a hostile work environment to write about it?

I just started getting high before work, and at work, and taking advantage of every opportunity that came from the job. We re-sold items, and I got a lot of things very cheap, sometimes free, that I could re-sell on my own or keep. I just ignored the bitch and did my thing.

One day she went too far and that was that. But I didn't have any evidence.

Lack of evidence doesn't make this woman a liar, and I'll bet a million dollars they are not going to sue her for slander, because she could probably come up with a ton of embarrassing things to say about them, and she's probably got witnesses.

About the segregated bathrooms, the way those things happen is subtle. I'm sure there was not a sign on the wall saying "whites only." it was more like no one could use the bathrooms in the front, but then some people (white people) were told it was okay. Because no one wanted to lose their job over something so seemingly petty, they might pretend not to notice.

I can not imagine being black. I think I would want to burn everything to the ground. And I don't think I could ever live in the south no matter what color I was. But I can imagine that someone's perspective could be so different than mine that this sort of crap would be somewhat tolerable for a length of time.

I don't believe or disbelieve based on this story but I am certain there is not enough here to discredit the woman making the charge. I do hope she isn't lying because false charges of racism are irresponsible and selfish, and help the racist agenda more than anything else.
