This Probably Wasn’t a Good Idea, Paul Deen

she just havin fun out there…LMAO

“…mascara-stained apology video…” Auntie, I think I’ve done a few of those, too!

And she STILL hasn’t learned, smh…..

Gross..so he couldnt play Lil Ricky?

Me too..she racist and dont even KNOW it…YOU DONT EVEN KNOW PAULA…YOU DONT EVEN KNOW.

Yes and they got numbers.

Its like the folks with the Confederate Flag. They really believe its about heritage. Its like they don’t understand what the rest of the sane world is trying to explain to their ignorant asses.

Who’s surprised?

She was just on the Chew… smh!
She just don’t care… once a racist; always a racist

I feel ya. But you can’t explain ignorance to ignorant folks. And I’ve tried and gave up.

Truthfully, because we too busy fighting and killing each other. We are too busy worrying about who will lead the march and I don’t want to follow that one instead of just banning together and get the ish done.

So now is her son’s show gonna be cancelled as well? I’ll wait…

Have I ever told you how much I love your name? Well, I do. Its adorable!.

Thanks hun!

The women who sued her was not black.

Shyt we ignorant too. Wasting our goodt food stamps celebrating the 4th like that holiday is for us. I don’t think black people understand we wasn’t free during that time. Fug we popping firecrackers for. How pop fire at these crackers….

I agree..Its a “things have always been like this” mentality. The rate or white on white crime is almost the same as black on black crime

I need her to choke on a recipe that she stole from our people.

And once you make a little money and see a little progress…*shrug* but now the scab has been ripped off…

Thank you! I am acquainted with two older white women from Small Town USA that are like this. One used the word “colored” during conversation and kept talking like it was nothing while I tried to pick my jaw off the floor. The other, after praising a (white) couple for adopting a child (from another race), shook their head and said, “But that baby’s so dark…”

I don’t even bother arguing with these ignoramuses. I can’t tell someone two plus two is four when the only number they know and think they need to know is five. I think Oprah made a good point when she said the older, more racist generation needs to die. Nothing will ever remove the stain of racism from the US but I think that’ll help.

SMH DEAD

I don’t want to go into how the slave mentality is still driven into our minds even though we weren’t around when slavery was going on. But, I feel thats a part of it.

I’m not ignorant. At All. But a lot of black people are ignorant to their history and to not admit that is the problem. We educate our immediate family, but what about the community as a whole?

I prefer my white people educated, citified, and adjusted to an urban environment. I can’t do these country backwoods pinks outside of the city. I try to keep my interactions with the ones in Atlanta.

But that money spent on food and clothes could actually have an impact on white America. What if Essence moved the festival to Juneteenth weekend instead of the 4th. That would be a powerful message. But I’m sleep though.

Bit?

…and she probably loves you too. Bless your heart.

Do you realize how much money black people spent last weekend in NOLA to celebrate a holiday in which we were still slaves? Millions of dollars was in NOLA this weekend. Most of it sponsored by white corporations. What if we forced that for Juneteenth instead. So that money spent can actually mean something.

I agree and disagree. A white man using the Bible as a tool of oppression doesn’t take away its validity. If I used food to overfeed you that wouldn’t make the food evil.

You need to share that with Essence. I think it’s a great idea.

Pride in a holiday where you still considered chattel? They actually used to beat slaves in CELEBRATION of Independence day…. But keep barbequing and popping firecrackers…

Chile I wish I could.

Child…right down to Tyler Perry’s chicken George movies..Light is always good, dark is evil..I saw a girl with the prettiest chocolate skin stone…I HAD to tell her, I almost wanted to touch her. lol

I’m not.

If we HAD a gatdaymn ARCHIVES…I could pull up where I said the FIRST time that she wasn’t done.

HAHHAAA! @Chicken George!

Yes, BUT there were free blacks during this time as well, so….and nothing is wrong with celebrating independence day.

Hopefully you’re spamming, but I’ll give my time to comment since I don’t have anything else to do. Sounding like Ruckus.

She might not GAF but her sponsors (if she has any left) and network do. One time was enough for them then you do something else again? I used to sporadically look at her show but after the N word incident you couldn’t get me to watch even if she were the only show on tv.

I don’t care if they’re dumb or from the middle of nowhere as long as they’re not ignorant. Unfortunately ignorance is too easy to find no matter what color you are SMH

Most white people who live in urban areas like NY, Atl, San Fran, Chicago… are educated and use to being around diverse groups of people.

Hey Coon!

she got one?

I don’t think they give much of one either. They were the only ones willing to give her a 2nd chance for a reason. Her network. Took a gamble and LOST

Nope.

They was freeing blacks in 1776? Where? We weren’t even considered HUMAN. We were property. Keep celebrating and giving the white man your coins.

Lol…

Unfortunately ?

Awww…come on. I’m disappointed in you.

I’m not a big fan of reality TV, but I occasionally watch Sisterhood of hip hop #dontjudgeme

You had me at “true Jews”….lol…

? Nope. It’s just a lot of people in one house. I think like 8 kids & I think 3 sisters

I used to live in Chi… you’d be surprised. Those that are racist are smart enough to keep their racism between themselves. They will smile and be polite to a minority but talk ish about them with other white friends.

Just when I think she’s gone she pops back out.

Dont sleep on the conscious folks…we’re out here and fully aware of the bs. I gave up on the bible debate cause folks can’t hear you and wont research shyt but they have a scripture for you. Ask them about King James and they have a blank stare.

lol.

My take on the Bible is, as with everything else, take the meat and leave the bone. I’m a Christian, the Old Testament is for historical understanding of the New Testament. That is all. However, Proverbs is outstanding. The Bible is not and was never intended to be a historical tome of the world.

Hint: The true answers lie with Paul.

That was harsh. She is entitled to like Paula Deen. Damn. Coon? Ouch.

There were black millionaires in New Orleans in the 18th Century…

yes ma’am.
You can be private

so it’s like an after-THOT special? or is she also still looking for ‘love’? sounds so um, un-interesting

ok. i’ll look out for the 1st EPI…….

that’s how we USED to put ourselves or others in the “corner” on the old site. sorry, but I tried to paste new emotes and Sandra swept them AND my comments away like cobwebs LOL!

Now, it is just me….for our history buff Roses, correct me if I am wrong, but in 1776 free blacks were around and faught in the revoultionary war, correct?

Less than 10% of em here was free in 1776.

Yes some were in Revolutionary War.

Pbs dot org has a great timeline about slavery

I replied but I’m waiting for my comment to be approved ? but any way pbs has an informative timeline

Yes indeed ?

Get out there and handle your business and educate the community then. Lol hopefully most of us know about our past. As for me and mines we goodt on all that community education bull. Just know this . That I’m good. We good.

Le Struggle…..

oh no, you ARE crazy for sure …but you is kind, smart, and important too

Thank you *blows kiss*

Slaves and freed slaves fought on both sides

YOU AINT CHIIIITTTTTTTTTT **Kevin Hart**

SMH. Ya’ll missing the point. But like I said spend your coins where you please. But understand that that holiday surely wasn’t for us. They actually used to torture us on that day.

I kinda don’t.

And I don’t think many masters was freeing slaves on GP. Slaves might have ran away and got free or some kind of way bought their freedom, but wasn’t too many of them issuing freedom papers back then.

I am speaking to the point where you told me that not one black person was free in 1776. That is all. I do believe I said you were correct with something else you said down yonder, about us coming together.

SHe can Nae Nae, clap her hands, and she thinks she can dance. I’m trying to teach her animal sounds and where her nose is.

I see Trump & her having a good ole business relationship…

Complicated or not, some black Americans find reason to celebrate the holiday.

In a Washington Times’ op-ed, Stacy Swimp notes that at least 5,000 black men fought for the Continental Army against the British, men who believed that freedom from Britain would ultimately result in their freedom from slavery. Swimp also names Black founding fathers he believes should be remembered on the 4th, like Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem, and Salem Poor.

And he points out that while slaves weren’t free at the time of the declaration, it is as a result of that document that every American, under the U.S. Constitution, is equally guaranteed individual freedom.

Every black person didn’t have a master. Look at the guy on 12 years a slave…

That wasn’t in 1776 either. And you see they still MADE his ass one. Freedom don’t mean shyt.

Thanks Nancy! I tell her every day she is such a pretty girl, but mommy wants her to be smart, because just being pretty is not going to get it. I know she has zero idea of what i am talking about, but I need her to learn it early. SO even if I have to repeat it from now, I will.

Did we talk about LAHH yet, or did I miss it?

I just wish we would realize how powerful we are economically. We cant boycott shyt these days. Its very sad.

that’s awesome Keya Juju is blessed to have you as her mama :snot:

It is sad. But just like people breed hate and racism, we breed that shyt in our communities. We need to change, and a lot of us don’t want to change. *Disclaimer* By “Us and We” I do not mean me. I am speaking in general.

Exactly. If we cant come together and boycott ONE holiday, how are we suppose to revolutionize. That starts with sacrifice. When I told my husband I wasn’t celebrating shyt this weekend I meant it. You will not take any of OUR coins and contribute to shyt about this holiday. Go over your mama house and eat her nasty cooking. I meant that too.

Lol I caught KDub, I caught it.

Never mind hunny….continue doing you. And yes, they have ALL the markets. Tell me what markets do we own?

That’s not what I meant..but like you said continue doing you.

*blink*

SANDRA please don’t leave us in this post!!! I can’t be in here with Assata Shakur and Huey P. Newton until 5!

And was mad my MIL took my kids to see the fireworks too. People say I have changed. Naw I just woke up is all.

DONE WITH YOU

Ha! I’m done. Ya’ll do ya’ll.

I just said this

OUT! Just get out!! lmao.

Didn’t we boycott Black Friday or does that not matter?

well dayum Dubb! (yall got any lily yt cousins that attend the re-une?) I’m a tad fascinated by this

I’m trying. I want her to be better than me. Her brother too.

You was thinking it.

We are not changing the date of our family reunion.

We indeed celebrated directly with the white man.

My aunt husband. He is white.

My cousin brung his new white wife and she pregnant.

My damn other cousin has been going with the same white man since they were in HS and got 4 lil half breed kids we love as a result.

My own great nephew has a white grandma.

Good day to you.

I ain’t boycotting a damn thing. I love every holiday…every celebration. I love everything about my country because I know where I am. People who hate this country and choose to exercise their right to speak about it use the same freedom that would get them killed in other countries. America is not and never will be perfect, but as Churchill put it is the cleanest dirty shirt.

Oh so it only matters on holidays that YOU celebrate.. Because your initial statement was can we not come together and boycott ONE holiday!

Ditto sis! Ditto!

Are you fat? ????
Talmbout I just do it because I love to cook ???
I’m just joshing. Yeen gotta say ?

But the Indians….Ok. We all have our hypocrisies.

Don’t do it.

Back AWAY.

Nope. If one wants to boycott Thanksgiving I say do it. I’m partial to Thanksgiving because that is a holiday where my family and I can give Thanks to God for providing. But if it came down to the cause, I’d say fug that day too

Yes. They didn’t come this year tho. Their patriarch passed middle of June. Just as sweet as can be. All of em. My mom and 2 of her sisters are going to see the lady who lives in SC in October. It will be her 60th bday.

Cheddup already! ????

There it goes. Im the devil. Smh. Put it like this, I’m not rushing out the bed. That’s why they have a daddy at home.

Maybe! Lol

I hate you.

I love you moe tho

Shut it! Fat people need to be heard too! ???

My phone charger in this office ain’t worth a shyt ugh

NO! YOU ARE THE MOTHER! Don’t bully them or make them feel bad for wanting to open gifts and be happy liek almost every damn other kid in the world on Christmas!!! Thank God for Dad then. He’s the real MVP at your house.

He puts up the Christmas tree. He is the one going crazy trying to make sure we have money to throw away on toys they ain’t gonna give a shyt about by NYE. I’d rather us travel and spend money there. He wants gifts, then he need to get up with them.

At the end of the day “this is our land too” and I ain’t going back to Africa. I’m going to fight each situation as it comes but dammit I belong here just like they do! That’s what they want us to do segregate n separate. No thank you!

He sure is! I thank him for it too.

Everybody barbecues or attends barbecues on the Fourth. Black white Asian Latin American and so on an so forth. Doesn’t mean they’re hateful or didn’t read their history books. It’s a holiday and a time to gather friends and family. Idk how it became a black/white issue.

Because a FAT person said it! Duh!
??

smdh. This is some hateful shyt. Let me go call my momma and say thank you for caring enough about me and my childhood, to get up with me on Christmas and buy me gifts and let me have a celebration on holidays.

Praise the LORD!!!!! WOnt He do it !!!!!

U are wrong!???????

Rofl

Honey I’m a child of God. This is my father’s earth and no man is going to make me feel inferior in it.

How dumb can she be?

He’ll do EVERYTHING, I never thought I’d be glad to stare a Chrissy’s tail.

cant stand her…gtfoh already

God is LOVE. That is all.

line in the sand! ROFL!

:HUG:

Thank you Jesus!!!

Chile I don’t know either. Pretty much all of the American holidays have been celebrated during and long before slavery, so I don’t know why people are bugging out.

Not only does Paula use butter in every recipe, she has butter for brains, too!

Idiot! If she thinks sponsors bow down to black folks, wait until those Latinos are done beating her piñata!

Ut didn’t the pilgrims break bread with the Indians and then…nevermind.

??? I’m confused.

Aw hayle naw. Smh. I can’t stand you.

I agree with EVERYTHING you said right there!Thank-you for schooling the people. I don’t blame our race for being so entrenched in Christianity-it’s the only thing we’ve been allowed to hold onto since slavery but we need to open our eyes. How can we still believe in a religion taught to our ancestors by our oppressors?Collectively we still can’t connect the dots that it was given to us to keep us passive and ‘in our place’ so to speak and its done its job magnificently over the centuries. Chitsngiggles, keep the knowledge coming, we have to keep repeating it over and over again until it sinks into our consciousness. Religious brain-washing is real y’all!

Ignorance is Bliss Chitts some will absorb the truth and others will continue to do whatever to feel “included”. You did your part…. Like Harriet said ” I could’ve freed thousands more if only they knew they were slaves”

Good point.

Why they mad at HER. The son is in Mexican face. They should team up with Trump.

Yes but it affected black Americans still this day. My mom remembers stories from her Grandmother who was a slave.
The affect of slavery by breaking up household of 2 parents when slave masters keep them apart is still relevant today. ?

“Jackson, who is black, accused Deen of using the N-word in racist jokes and for creating a hostile work environment for black employees.”

Sandra, Lisa Jackson is White.

Stop using her words to fit your agenda.

Poor women needs help! SMH!

*sigh*
I’ve been through with her a$$ for a minute.

Latinos, Cuban, Puerto Rico, Mexicans and all other races discriminate those of a darker hue. Jennifer Lopez was darker she will not be representative of the Latino race. If it not just us.

Grandmother was a slave and couldn’t vote and yet in 2015 they are trying to abolish the voting rights act. Those who say they ain’t black will find out at the ballot box next year when they can’t vote and get their “N” word wake up call. Folks cheered when gays got the right to get married, let’s see how loud the world cheers when they abolish the voting rights act for black folks ONLY. If we are AMERICANS we don’t need a separate voting rights act.

Funny, I don’t ever remember Ricky ever being brown.

Racist, pure and simple
