Paula Deen put her Southern fried foot in her mouth when she revealed her loyalties to all things Southern including that tired tradition of racism.Deen is embroiled in a million dollar lawsuit over racist behavior with Lisa Jackson, the former general manager of Paula’s restaurant in Savannah, GA
Jackson claims that Deen used the N-word and was harassed and assaulted by her brother Bubba.
The reason it probably hadn't gone viral until now is because the only paper covering the story was the National Enquirer. But even they can have a broken clock moment of journalism every now and then and it looks like that is about to happen.
Deen parted her lips during that videotaped May 17 deposition to reveal that she is not only a Confederate flag waving level racist, she's ignorantly dismissive about it as well.
The fact this news about Deen dropped on Juneteenth did not escape some peeps and as usual on Black Twitter, just as we did a few months ago with the #BlackPrivilege hashtag we gleefully took on the challenge of excoriating her in our own creative way.
The #PaulasBestDishes hashtag that has gone viral as I write this post and had me at one point rolling over and in tears laughing at some of the sarcastic cuisine on this list. Y'all know I couldn't resist jumping in on the fun of roasting this bigot over the coals.
And you know TransGriot readers that Paula is a nominee for this week's Shut Up Fool Award.
