Paula Deen fired from FOOD NETWORK for racial slurs

This one is for the peeps shitting on butter.

You know, a basic O.chem class will tell you that your precious Unsaturated Fats, are broken down to saturated fats when heated right?

Food Netork is GDLK, even those shitty reality fake clearly staged reality shows like Mystery Diners and Dinner: Impossible are better than most of the crap on other channels. Food Network is how I found out about Food and Wine magazine which is almost singlehandedly responsible for my obsession with cooking and rarely if ever stepping into a restaraunt for the past 7 years or so:tup:

@hotbu damn I didn’t know you had it in you, good shot! I can only think of a few you used up the good ones:

Uncle Tomato Soup
Martin Luther Burger
Whipped Cream Cheese Cake
Fried Plantaintions
Nigguacamole
White Man’s burnt ends
Kunta Kidney Bean dip

I want to join in the fun with White Chocolate, I think that takes care of itself.

Implying this isn’t a ploy to get rid of her as Food Network switches to more healthy dietary guidelines.

Everyone knew that she used racial slurs before, FFS she’s a old white southerner, that’s what they did. FN just needed a reason to get rid of her as they transitioned to healthier meals, and they found one.

And here I was with butter smeared all over my dick…

Another celebrity who took fame for granted and didn’t realize how much black people liked what she did.

Damn. Melted butter burns like a mothafucker. :tdown:

They could of easily just not do another season if they’re were trying to get rid of her.

She’s gonna probably get a new show soon anyway.

She shut the excess butter out of her cooking a long time ago. Once she got diagnosed her show went the healthy route, and even spun into a show for one of her boys who does a cooking show based netirely around ugh ‘healthyifying’ his mom’s meals.

And real talk 90% of the stuff you see on TV is prepared like it owuld be at any restaurant with excess butters, oils, and salt (pinch of salt is about a tablespoon to them), she isn’t unique. She just stands ot because she was overweight and a big name. Guy hardly ever cooks, Giada weights about 35 pounds wet. The Iron Chefs outside of the hispanic one and Bitalli can’t spell sorry are all in good shape - Myiamoto actually has lost weight over time. So I say that to say she is a lightening rod for the ‘fat’ talks, but she is no more guilty than anyone else on their programming.

Also last I checked she isn’t being fired, they simply aren’t ‘renewing’ her show - which translates to “she’ll be welcomed back after this incident blows over” - and they’ll even be able ot make a media event out of it and pocket MORE money.

I wonder how many black folk actually care about this. I don’t think Lil B is about to get up and write Chronic 2013 in response to the political upheaval this will cause. Even my white wife was like “She’s old, what do you expect, that’s what her generation did”.

Shrug.
Now lets go listen to some Riff Raff while talking about Paula Dean…because she is so much worse…

  • :bluu:

Damn, I was just about to post this. “This cheese is tastier than God’s cock!”

Gotta go with the EVOO man.

damn, that looks amazing but id substitute the shrimp for beef

OH WOW SHE MUST BE RETARDED

I bet she was like, “What ya’ll niggas know about some hot water cornbread!”

I say we give her what she wants. A slave themed wedding is fine with me. I’ll play Nat Turner.

At first I didn’t care about this because, and let’s be honest, all non-black people have done this sometime in their lives just to seem edgy. Even when you’re in a fight with a black dude it comes out even if you really aren’t racist. And I thought she came out and admitted it and people were upset, which is stupid because everyone wants people to be honest then they hang them for it. It’s the reason politicians lie: everyone wants the truth but no one is prepared to hear it. I remember that one presidential candidate back in the 80s who said raising taxes was necessary and he got his ass beat, losing about 84% or whatever of the popular vote even though taxes really did need to be raised.

Then I read deeper into this and see it only came to light because it was in a court document when she was being sued in May. Then the lols started flying out and thought, “Well, I can understand why she lied about it but now she’s in the shit without a way out.”

Should she be fired? I don’t think so, but her dishonesty about how this all came about really rubs me the wrong way.

I would have agreed with keeping the past in the past on this occasion, but if you’ve watched her interviews since the initial report came out she has just been digging herself into a hole.

Her apology videos kept me entertained for hours.

where? the internet?!
