you know polythene from the food network she's the one who does the cooking shows
and uh... she has the garters with family so on and so forth
the first time i came across polythene i did something which i really try not to
do which is i made an assumption
uh... about her
and my assumption was that i've felt like there was something about the way
she was interacting with the other people on her program sometimes she has
her her children on her show sometimes she talked tell stories about her family
something about her struck me as an a and i find by are not like admitting
that sometimes they come to these conclusions
she feels like that there's something braces to xenophobic about holiday and i
said don't you know what
it's wrong of me to assume that just because she has a southern accent
that doubt those who believe she holds that is the type of of stereotype i'm
trying to separate myself from and i can't think i successfully didn't i said
that's a stupid thing to assume
and it's wrong of me and i need to this was enough six seven years ago and i
need to be more conscious of of the way that i'm reacting
to certain types of people
and we now know that paula dean is incredibly racist we help have a lawsuit
that is being filed this is kind of a long story
last month she gave videotaped deposition
as part of the discrimination suit that she's facing
where she discussed her desire to have eight quote very southern style wedding
for her brother which was modeled after a restaurant
where the whole wait staff was middle-aged black men
wearing white jacket in black bow ties according to a transcript she admitted
to using the and word
she discussed ways in which the n_ word can be said in in something that's not
ameen way
uh... and then
there's a bunch of these allegations also revolving around her brother
rel baba
here's
and also apologies company and their operator a couple of restaurants down in
savannah georgia and they're being sued by a former employee lisa jackson
and the complaint says that she was subjected to violent sexist and racist
behavior
when she was working at a number of polity is different businesses
and the allegations are pretty broad including that it uncool bubbas all
easter house
jackson claims that black employees were required to use separate bathrooms and
entrances from white staffers again these are allegations that are part of
the suit
jackson also said that african americans were held to different more stringent
standards than the white employees and that the that colleges brother
regularly made offensive racial remarks
and um... along with these allegations of racism louis jackson's complain
accuses polity and brother of making inappropriate sexual comments forcing
her to look at porn with him
and then we get to well pollack dean and her views in the complaint actually
details an incident where
where lisa jackson was in charge of food and serving arrangements at the wedding
of paula dean's brother back in two thousand seven
and the complaint includes a comment that paula deen herself allegedly made
one asked by jackson what types of uniforms should the servers where the
wedding
and apology nsaid well what i would really like is a bunch of of little and
words to wear long-sleeve white shirts
black shorts and black bow ties that would be a true southern wedding would
net
polythene admits that she uses uh... uses the allotted to that she used a lot
of these phrases including
are really southern plantation wedding
she denies using the n_-word in that particular quote but he says yeah i used
the n_-word when talking about
uh... idea i've used the n_ word in it's just not always offensive
i think looks pretty pretty clear fat but but at the same time i mean
if u are
i mean okay maybe she gets this this power trip on having black people as
server incinerators bring calling them the n_-word but you know at the same
time they are employees in their being paid by her so i mean if
it's training if she was really racist she wouldn't hire black people to begin
with like it doesn't seem like she's a repulsed by black people but at the same
time because it does it's weird
notes on what do you think that lewis saying that she's willing to be served
food by black people somehow racist issue really be
uh... goes team glorious bastards aca i mean honestly paternalistic slave
holding was pretty common and they were perfil erases they just thought that
they could treat them well you know
their inferior but we can treat them well thought i reject that argument that
with that maybe the mentality the food network says that they do not tolerate
any form of discrimination and their strong proponent of diverse city and
inclusion they really sorry nine glorious past research and on changes
i've been going to have ron uh... wronged tarantino movie
food network will continue to monitor the situation a lot of people saying
worse would that work on some yard if if that's true art deco fire you would
think so
we will continue to follow it
