I watched a recent episode of her latest show. It seems she’s trying to make up by sounding like a southern black woman. A little over the top. I don’t remember her sounding like that years ago

Never give excuses. Own your wake of turmoil and chum, boldly and unapologetically.

Have know her and her family for many years.
Great woman, down to earth, calls it like it is, calls a “spade” a “spade” just we all do. Simply failed to continue the boot-licking so she got railroaded.
And yes, never apologize.

Q: How does a black Southern woman sound differently, compared to a white or any other race Southern woman? They both/all have that sloooooow, "Suthehn" drawl.

Ridiculous that someone could be cancelled for uttering a word that is used ad nauseam with impunity by blacks.

I got thrown off of here for a minute for using that word in a totally innocuous way.

We do not use that word in our family and as children were not allowed to. However, later in life my older sister swore, vowed, and declared that the word had never crossed her lips. I knew that was not true because when I was three years old and she was five, she told me what it means.

“...that is used ad nauseam with impunity by blacks.”

I worked around a black once whose every third sentence contained it. It was amazing how he would work it in.

I’d like to know which person in the south who’s over 35 has never in their lives used the ‘N’ word in one form or another, and that includes every single black person.

Anybody?

I could be remembering this completely wrong, but this just sticks out in my brain: Paula Deen was incredibly loved and popular, so much so that she had several shows on Food Network at the same time. No one had a problem with her. Then Michelle Obama went on her show about the time she was pushing all that clean eating and criticizing school lunches. Paula Deen made a good natured joke that the First Lady wasn’t worried about calories or “clean eating” when she was on her show (I’m paraphrasing, but it was something like that. Something any normal person could laugh off). Very soon after that came all the allegations about Paula Deen’s past language and behavior and suddenly she was public enemy number one. I really don’t think I’m remembering this wrong…does any one else recall this?

Yes. I believe that she stated that she had never seen anyone eat as much as MO. Didn’t connect it with later fallout. Paula used to say, “I’m your cook, not your doctor.”
