What double standard? Other white people have donned black or brown face and not been persecuted.

You said you think Paula Deen is a bigot and you have very similar opinions about that poster. The accusation is not as thinly veiled as you assume it is.

Against, lol she ain't nothing but a bigoted southern bell that promotes obesity. She is the butt of jokes. I would have to take her seriously to be against her. If anything I am happy she is a prominent bigot. She reminds America that we are not a post racial society. She brings the storm font clowns out into the open and exposes them for what they truly are. Paula has her uses. I am not against her at all.

Similar is not the same. Nice try though.

You certainly have strong opinions about someone you don't take seriously. I wonder what Dean's opinion of you is? Regardless, this thread is about what happened recently....and apparently it actually didn't happen recently. Thus, I believe some of us can bottle up our rage for now.

You got called out on a personal attack. At least be a man and own up to it.

If you want to report that you don't like what I said go ahead. Otherwise take your childish games somewhere else.

I have strong opinions about a lot of celebrities I don't take seriously. I think Kanye West is the most self centered person on the planet. I think Kim Kardashian is a genius for monetizing baselessness. I think Paula Dean is a bigot.

The only rage in this thread are the people who identify with Paula Dean and feel any attak on her is an attack on them and the culture they love.

This is just humorous. I'm defending the premise, not the person. I'm not from the south and don't deep fry everything in butter, so no I do not exactly identify with Paula Deen or love the culture.

At least we agree on Kanye

I have no problem with any "attacks" on a celeb - I just think it's humorous that people feel the need to attack someone that cares nothing about them. It's especially humorous when the "attack" is based on something the celeb didn't even do (i.e. outrage for the sake of outrge). If your outrage is based on something that happened in 2011....well, that's a long time to hold a grudge against a stranger.
