After an insensitive tweet led to the firing of her social media manager, Paula Deen has some explaining to do. Earlier Tuesday, the person running Deen's Twitter account tweeted a photo featuring the culinary celebrity and her son, Bobby Deen, dressed up as the characters Ricky and Lucy Ricardo from the television show "I Love Lucy."

Wait, a picture of people dressed up as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo is now racist? I don’t want to live here any more.
My question as well, what is racist about this picture?
Not the future. The past. The incident & picture were from 2011 - pre-dating her admitting use of the word “nigger”.
He definitely got the deal in that relationship but to call him yuk is beyond silly.
It is hard to get equal value when you are that hot AND funny.
I've long noticed people who really seem to base their very existence on complaining about things they don't like. Amping "don't like" up to "offended" has been easy for them.
These leftards are people who would be offended by the sun rising in the morning...and blame it on George W. Bush.
Why? Did he dress up as Lucy ?
It’s not freaking racist. Give me a break.
i saw somebody call it the “perpetual victim olympics”.
i guess to win the gold, you have to really work at always being offended.
He looked more like Boehner than Ricky.
Pretty sure you are right
Geeez.
Stupid Paula Deen didn’t even get Lucy’s red hair the correct color!
He looked more like Boehner than Ricky.
He looked more like Rachel Dolezal than either of them.
What happened to her she sure disappeared quick.
Nothing racist about the picture whatsoever. The common cultural understanding of what is “racist” is now mostly comprised of things that aren’t even bad. This rule that you can dress up and pretend to be someone else so long as you don’t change your skin color for effect is stupid beyond words.
Perfect reply to all the offended Paula Deen posters. “Why didn’t you call out Dolezal over her REAL sham of blackface, instead of a rich white woman? I believe you people are all economiciphobes.”
She reportedly uttered the sacrosanct “N” word about 28 years ago and seems to have recovered from all the flak the over-sensitive emotional cripples could throw her way - they need to keep up the attack and prove that they really need to be put on meds. I recommend Thorazine be given out with EBT cards and other welfare programs.
What’s racist about it? If that’s racist then so is Lurch, Boehner and every person who spray tans.
This was a comedy, not racist at all.
