“Is that a negro? Bring it here. I desire jazz hands.”
Paula Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers (This story’s great already, I know.) are currently being sued for sexual harrasment by Lisa Jackson the former general manager of their jointly-owned restaurant Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House. Along with claims that Bubba openly watched porn in front of her and made sexual advances, Lisa, who’s white by the way, also claims in her suit that Bubba made black employees use a restroom in the back of the restaurant while allowing white employees to use the nicer customer restrooms. On top of that, she also alleges Paula Deen freely uses the term “nigger.” Via RadarOnline:
According to the court documents, Jackson states that she was appointed by Deen to handle the catering and staff for Bubba’s wedding in 2007, and she asked Deen what the servers should wear: “Well what I would really like is a bunch of little niggers 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,” Jackson alleges Deen told her. “Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn’t it? But we can’t do that because the media would be on me about that.”
Of course, much like Kirk Cameron being a massive homophobe, it really shouldn’t be shocking that an elderly white woman from the south is all kinds of racist. That said, unless you’re from the south, you’re never fully prepared for how it manifests itself. You always expect something horrible like, “Them darkies shouldn’t be allowed to drive cars on the same road as white folk!” But instead it’s something way more random, and almost genteel, that you’d never expect. Something like, “In the good old days, you could make a nigger bake you a delicious peach pie for a Jew nickel.” It catches you off guard is all.

I heard Barabra Walters say Ni**er on the view, let’s hang them both.
I love that ppl just put a dash in the word “‘N-ggers” – as if it doesn’t convey exactly the same designation. Grow the fuck up.
it’s out of respect dipshit.
“kara | March 6, 2012 at 1:26 pm
it’s out of respect dipshit.”
It’s a word, dipshit. Grow the fuck up. Maybe they should reprint Huck Finn to add all the fucking goofball dashes and asterix.
Or you could try being less of an asshole. Despite what Louis CK has told you, there are still lots of people out there that get offended by racial slurs. By recognizing that, Kara has beaten you to the “grow-up” part by probably several years.
Yeah I laugh at all those PC fuckers and news freaks say, the N-Word “You see I said N-Word but the word Nigger never entered my mind.”
How did Walters use the “N-word” and how does it pertain to this article?
I’m not saying you’re a moron, but I love the hyperbole!
There is no right not to be offended. So fuck the fuck off.
yesterday, a Kansas City 13 year old white fellow was doused and set on fire by black teens. Hey Fish, which is worse the N word or being set on fire??????
@thatdude black on white crime doesn’t fit the narrative
I wish someone would hit this chick with a ham. OK, so that’s been done. Then hit her with a truck, train or anything to take her out.
Bubba is a nickname, right?
let’s hope so, but i wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t
His real name is Earl. Not much better.
This is too convenient. Manufactured for sure. And I’m not even a fan of that woman.
I thought old people were grandfathered in for n-bombs. Or is it just ‘colored’ and the ability to call black males ‘boy’? The rules are so fucking confusing.
“Nigger” is a word and only has the power we give it. If one is calling a person a ni**er as a racial slur, that is extremely offensive. However nigger used in other contexts is simply a word.
For example, explaining to someone that Gov. Rick Perry’s family owns a hunting camp called “Niggerhead” is acceptable. But further opining that is probably called that to keep ni**ers from hunting there is, indeed, offensive.
actually its more than a word, people have heard the last thing whilst dying listening to this. so shut up if u don’t understand.
Hey heebeegeebee,
people have heard a lot of fucked up things while dying.
Such as,
“dumb cracker bitch”
and things I am not going into.
None of these words are necessarily prosecuted.
And p.s. could you speak something a little closer to English?
-I could barely understand your fucking gibberish.
I’m pretty certain this qualifies Paula to be a Republican presidential candidate. Does she hate contraception too? That would really help.
Yeah, that’s right, only Republicans are racist. You haven’t hung out with any of the “enlightened” Democrats lately, have you?
No its ok when Bill Clinton looks at Barack Obama and reminisces about how “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.” That’s totally fine cause Bill’s a democrat and banged an ugly intern.
I love you morons who automatically assume anyone who is anti-Republican is pro-Democrat. For decades Republicans followed Nixon’s strategy of courting social conservatives in the South, now we’re seeing the inevitable result. Reagan wouldn’t have a chance in today’s GOP, he’d be cast as an elitist liberal tax-raising antichrist.
Go back to sucking cock, which apparently is all you know.
fuck, why are white house aides commenting on the superfish?
Yeah, because supporting Prop 14 to deny fair housing in CA was really fucking liberal of Reagan. To say nothing of wanting prayer in public schools- the sure mark of the Antichrist.
The Democrat Party: the party of slavery since 1812!
Another crazy chick looking for settlement money.
I have to agree with Sliver, this is way to convenient and contrived. She’s employed too many blacks over the years for this kind of story to now “break.” I’m from Savannah and can remember eating at her restaurant with way before she was famous. Trust me, if she used language like this on a regular basis, she would have been sued and yanked off the Food network a long time ago.
Just because she’s employed black people ‘over the years’ doesn’t mean she’s not racist. If anything, she probably enjoyed seeing black people serving people jus like they did for free during slavery. Also, like you mentioned you ate at her restaurant ‘before she was famous’ meaning she probably held alot of her pesonal beliefs to herself back then to continue to have customers. Now that she’s very rich, her true self came out and she doesn’t give a fuck what people think simply because she will always have fans who will buy her overpriced pots, pans, butter?, cookbooks, eat at her restaurant, watch her fat filled food network show, and cook her recipes. This fat bitch was born in Georgia in 1947 a time where racism was more openly accepted. Old habits die hard.
Yep, because racists have never hired black people for low paying menial jobs in their businesses, or hispanics either, right?
I used to work for a guy who would hire an occasional black person just so he didn’t look “ray-shist” (as he pronounced it). That, in and of itself, is racist in practice, as well as a “tokenist” ideal. BTW, he was the dumbest, right-wing survivalist moron that I ever met.
This was a guy who didn’t like “Interview With A Vampire” because, as he said in a hushed, conspiratorial voice (and this is the absolute truth), “I think they (vampires) are gay!”
Thanks, Shawn.
I think people will believe the things they want to believe. I think people think of the South in a certain way and what is being said is easy to believe. What most likely really happened is that the white employee is lying and trying to smear the Deen woman to get revenge of some kind. If this is true, then it would take no time to get a recording device (cell phone camera, etc) and it would be all over the internet and things would get crazy. So far I have not seen that happen. Until it does, the burden of proof is on the accuser. As for the porn thing, I don’t care either way.
Oh, and if Deen was racist to employees, they would sue. I know reality better than that. Most times they sue even when treated fairly, screaming “racist” as a means for an easy payoff. The morons here need to ask themselves why nobody has sued in the years Deen has been running the place or on tv.
@Truth Your breath must smell like feces, you’re so full of shit. My favorite part is your handle, whilst your post is idiotic, uniformed speculation. Fuck off idiot.
“My daddie’s old hand was a spade who couldn’t tell a spade from a spade! Oh boy, I was fit to slap a Jap, pardon the expression.”
i don’t believe a lot of shit i read. i like paula deen, but somehow i totally think this is true. ahhh….the south still lives…sadly
You still live… mm hmm.
Hey, she can have as many as she wants, we’ll ship for free!
Sincerely,
Philadelphia’s dying soul
Sorry. Detroit is ahead of you in the export queue.
Ever see that commercial (Cadillac?) and at the end it says, “Exported from Detroit” or something like that. LOVE that commercial..it is so true. It’s like a different country, but not in a good way.
His boobs are bigger but she has 100lbs of gut on him. We’re gonna need to take this one into overtime.
what is that orange bubble on her jawline?
I know!! WTF??
It’s a microphone.
put a bag over his head and i’ll take it
what the F!? that freakin’ bubble again!
she must be doing that ‘dick flop’ dance.
All you have to do is tie up a loop of fishing line and stick that jellybean waddle growth in there. tighten up the loop until it holds with it’s own pressure. Then give it a quick tug on both of the tag ends, and the line will cut that fucker right off.
That’s a mic, doc…
Meh…
Let me make myself clear.
Racism is wrong.
But I don’t believe this story. Maybe it’s half true.
I think chopping off heads of the infidels is a little worse than wanting to have black people at your daughters wedding.
Isn’t she already in hot water over some diabetes scandal? Something about making all this unhealthy food when she has it?
I’m no fan of Paula Deen — I’m from the South and I hate her bubbly “y’all” and “honey” and everything, and I especially hate that so many people I know think “she’s so cute — like the grandmother you wish you had!”. No. That being said, I call bluff on this. Seems completely contrived.
Wow, fish couldn’t resist banging the ‘Kirk Cameron is a homophobe’ drum yet again, despite Cameron not saying one damned thing to indicate he is either fearful of or holds any animosity towards gays. At least fish restrained his urge to label Paula Deen a right winger simply because she’s old and uses racist terms for blacks.
I doubt she’s really racist. Her use of racist terms is probably just a combination of her having grown up in the south long ago, and the fact that she has pure mayonnaise running through the blood vessels in her brain.
I’d like to solve the puzzle, Pat.
…something that rhymes with tucker, Randy.
I thought having a brother named Bubba would qualify you to say the N-word.
Is that a Cheetos stuck to the side of her chin?
Seriously, what the fuck IS that thing?
it’s a mike. took me a while to figure it out.
I’ve found that it’s easy to make fun of racist Southerners when you live in an all-white suburb in Minnesota.
+1
try driving an hour in any direction from Wayzata and you’ll find the the same back assward fucks you find in the south.
+1 Eric.
the south catches the heat, but the most racists fucks anywhere reside in NY and NJ
*racist*
go tell it on the mountain.
“Standin’ like this, wearin’ a jockey suit and holdin’ a lantern.”
This woman queefs lard.
Tell me that is not the spitting image of Katy Perry when she gets old and obese?
I’m from Texas and that lady is fucking racist !
So what you’re saying is that people from Texas are psychic? That’s all we needed – be prepared to defend yourself in a massive lawsuit for not preventing Kennedy’s assassination.
Apparently being from Texas is a qualifier?
I love how there are allegations of racism and all you whitey’s are so quick to jump on the bandwagon against them. Hmmm, maybe the woman is lying???? White people are so afraid of being labelled racist themselves they’ll do anything to avoid it. The same thing happened hundreds of years ago when your neighbor would accuse you of being a witch because hey, if I’m accusing you of being a witch that must mean I’m NOT a witch, right??
You. Cabana boy. Meet me in my room with a gallon of butter. Mama’s makin’ dumplins.
The South Beach Whole Foods seems like an interesting place.
“Please! All that beef’s gunna give me da diabeetus!”
An old fat white woman from the South is racist, say it isn’t so.
I would honestly be more surprised if this tub of lard was not racist to be honest.
It is perfectly legal to call someone a n-gger. So what did she do wrong? Nothing I say. God bless America!
If the black people felt Ok about being black, then why should they care if people call them the n word??? Right?!?
People are idiots
This woman’s face scares the shit out of me.
What a disgusting pig she truly is.
I eat shit worse than deen advocates but I’m in great health – even the doctor says so – cause I cycle, run, and swim.
calories taken in – calories burned away = weight.
Fried butter patty between two glazed doughniuts as a main course = death before you finish that triathon.
You eat shit?
he “cycles” shit
“Bring me the Little Mermaid! I wanna deep-fry her, y’all!”
I’ve figured it out. Paula Deen is the basis for Bryce Dallas Howard’s racist queen-bee character in “The Help,” and she’s spent all these years loading up her diet with salt, sugar, and fat to get a certain taste out of her mouth.
A guy who’s seen “The Help”. Really?
He’s Jewish…does that explain it?
Most of you people are total idiots..you talk out your ass cause your mouth knows better..or..wait..does it??? White and southern doesn’t always equal racist. What’s with this “oh I read it online so it has to be true” mentality? Could it be..oh no..JEALOUSY!!??? Old fat white southern and rich! YAY Paula!
yeah, she looks like a racist alright.
i hope she dies of diabeetus
You should never hope (or wish) for the death of someone. Especially someone you probably don’t know anything about unless it came from media sources. That’s where problems start.
Racist or not, I have a feeling that Paula Deen was a hottie 35 years ago!
“Here ya go, honey. I made these oatmeal/raisin cookies fresh just for y’all. And if you want milk with ‘em, just suckle off’n one of my big, plump, engorged breasts.”
You just ruined cookies and boobs.
I detest Ms. Deen but this story does not sound believeable
I don’t believe it either. The media has been drumming this “if you’re white, you’re racist” bullshit into people’s heads with movies for years. This is a test of the “get them to believe anything system”
the black folks can dance indeed.
THE WHITES SIMPLY CAN’T!!
You! Colored boy, bring me them grits.
NI**ER!!!!!!!
Ni**er please!
DX bitc*, SUCK IT!!!!
