I heard some stories but was too young to appreciate them. I’d sure ask questions if my Dad was still alive now. LOL
:)
Didn’t Paula Deen say something about Michelle eating a lot when on her show? Retribution and revenge maybe for her comments.
New York passed a law in 1948 banning racial discrimination in hiring--more than 80 years after the Civil War.
Major League Baseball had its first black player in 1947--when nearly all of the teams were in Northern cities (all except the Washington Senators and arguably the two St. Louis teams). Why had the teams not been integrated all along? The sport was invented by Yankees.
In the era of passenger trains, the black employees were sleeping car porters and maids, not engineers or conductors. It wasn't that none of the black employees would have liked to be an engineer or a conductor.
Alexis de Tocqueville, traveling in the US in the 1830s, thought that racial prejudice was stronger in the regions of the country where slavery had been abolished.
Deen laughed that Michelle wouldn't stop eating the delicious friend food.
Michelle. Does. Not. Forgive.
Took more than a year, but all the imps and demons of Hollywood and Media Matters finally got Michelle's Revenge.
I moved from the north to the south 25 years ago. The worst racists I knew were those that moved from the north at the same time (a bunch of us moved to start a new factory). Now the worst racists are generally black liberals who hate whitey while taking all they can from him.
Anyway...
Country cookin' makes me good lookin'.
I just had to get that in this thread.

Your father had the right attitude and he’d earned it. God Bless our Dads and all they served with.....all 16.5 million of them.
The home is not the province of the housewife, but of homosexual men.
They are also too "tournament." Too many cooking "star" shows, too many shopping for homes in Brussels.
Decreasing relevance.
Yep! You nailed it. This is something that should be addressed and a reason to be fired over.
Like my great-aunts, Democrats because Abraham Lincoln wasn't.
My wife’s grandmother (she dies recently at 92) was still using “colored” and according to her and her mother, grandma never said the n——— word because it was distasteful and only white trash used it.
She never had a bad word for anyone, it was part of her charm.
I saw that just the other day..I was appalled! LOL!
What a great memory for you! :-)
Yes, there has to be a reason. Paula Deen is a lib. When do libs attack another lib?
Well, when said lib reveals the gluttony of the First Lady, that’s when.
I give ms. Deen credit for her honesty.
Not the mooch herself, but her supporters. Lets not forget how this works.
$hit rolls downhill, and libs do not need marching orders.
If the “n” word were as bad a folks make it out to be, I wouldn’t hear it blaring out of cars as “music” every day.
Every. Day.
The “n” word is just a word. And why do we say “n” word? Are we trained not to say.......yep, I ain’t saying it. I’d hate to be banned on FR for freedom of speech.
And now of course Deen’s vocal support of Obama goes down the memory hole. The culture will now instruct us that Paula Deen has always been a Republican. People will officially remember how Paula had Sarah Palin on her show. Michelle Obama of course never appeared in Deen’s show. Bill Maher and Media Matters will tell us so.
The Food Network Channel has been scratched from anything we will ever watch again. God bless Paula.
