Paula Deen – I’m like the “black football player who recently came out”

Considering her recent past,  you’d think Paula Deen would be advised against using certain colors in her public statements when referring to other people. If she cannot remember Michael Sam’s name, you’d think she’ll use another descriptor instead of “black” when comparing herself to the man. But, no…

“I feel like ‘embattled’ or ‘disgraced’ will always follow my name,” Deen reportedly told People. “It’s like that black football player who recently came out. He said, ‘I just want to be known as a football player. I don’t want to be known as a gay football player.’ I know exactly what he’s saying.”

Unlike Sam, however, Deen wasn’t called “embattled” or “disgraced” until after she lost her show and several endorsements following the revelation that she regularly used a racist slur regarding Black people during the course of her work.

Though discrimination charges against her were later dismissed, Deen lost her show. Earlier this month, however, she secured an investment worth between $75 million and $100 million to be used for a new company fueling a comeback bid.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

I like Paula, but she just can’t HELP herself….it’s embarrassing. She’s like my 86 year old aunt (white, wealthy, Repub here in TN). She opens her mouth and the racism and bigotry come out. Her answer…”Oh, it doesn’t mean anything. We’ve always said that. People know it’s just an expression.” They just DO NOT get it!!!!!!!!
