White Woman With A Tan Apologizes For Using The N Word.

Do you really believe this ?

Yes.  Yes, I do.  I see proof of this almost everyday I work.  Living to be almost 90 sounds like a good lifespan to me.
A 'healthy' diet might help you...but most health issues are hereditery.  You have to live life in moderation.

So you admit moderation is healthy.

Some people may be protected by their genes from arterial clogging, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure but allot more people can dodge these common illnesses if they use moderation on sugar, salt, saturated fats and overall caloric intake.

[Joe Gutfeld]

Isn't it terrible that she used the N-word?  They should get a life.

Of course, moderation is common sense.  Right?
I meet people who deprive themselves of all of that...sugar, salt, saturated fats and they exercise.  Yet, they have massive heart attacks and right about the age that a parent suffered the same thing. 
Life is to be lived.  Living moderately sounds about right to me.

As for her being a stereotype, she did exaggerate it a bit for entertainment value. That was her shtick. Mario Batali does the same sort of thing with Italian stuff.

I'd rather see someone like her on tv playing it up in a funny way than someone like Honey Boo Boo and her horrible family doing it in a very damaging way.

I agree with your post! 

Although, that big filthy looking lib 'molto mario' seems the furthest thing from an Italian to me.  He looks like a hippie throwback and wears Crocs.

I've seen a lot better representations of Italian culture than that too I do think it's neat how he knows which region all the foods come from though.

Paula Deen had a lot of good recipes but they're the kind of thing that you eat occasionally for a treat, not the kind of thing you want to build your core diet around. She even said herself that she's a cook, not a doctor. It was her job to show good tasting recipes, not how to lose weight. Have you guys ever heard the phrase "Never trust a skinny cook?" I wouldn't take it at face value, but it does have a little bit of merit in saying that the best tasting/richest food often isn't the kind of food that's going to keep you skinny. Name your top 10 favorite foods and probably more than half of them are going to be high in something "unhealthy". That doesn't mean you eat that all the time as your regular fare, but it also doesn't mean you can never eat them.

I was thinking the same thing.  You must allow yourself a treat now and then.  Life is short.  I always tell patients...cut out unhealthy food in moderation.  If you say NEVER AGAIN to unhealthy foods...which well meaning family members always do,  I think people shut down and become resentful.  A well balanced diet and exercise is about right....with a few treats thrown in for good measure.

She has been fired for using the holy grail N word.............................TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AGO.

Meanwhile, blacks rape, MURDER and rob white people every day.

In O'MeriKa, words are more important than murder.

I think they have wanted to fire her since 'America' found out she is a diabetic. 
It wouldn't have looked very nice doing that.
So they are using this as an excuse.
I don't blame her for trying to hide that.
Her career is not just about 'herself'.  It is the whole machine that is Paula Deen that is being fired.  Maybe that is what she feared, hurting all the people who depended on her, about exposing her diabetes.

True... Just so...  She did play it up but she sort of let you know she was doing it... People watching the show expect it... Years back there was a guy that did a cooking show called the Cajun Cook the guys name was Justin Wilson he use to play it up also and his viewership loved it... He was on for years cooking in his backyard and such... Entertainers like this need to have a gimmick or their days on the air will be quite short.

He has something around his neck that looks like Colonel Sanders from Kentucky Fried Chicken.

[Binyamin Yisrael]

I didn't know about the bank robber part. It is stupid though how people play the race card in court. Just like Mark Furman in the OJ Simpson case.

[briann]

Regardless of whether you like her food, to fire her because she said the 'N' word 27 years ago is outrageous.  Think of all the horrible things Black entertainers say on a weekly basis... and no one would ever think of firing them.

[Every Jew AK47]

A lot of blacks I meet in this country deserve the N-- word..

Nonetheless, I avoid using it, unless I am greeting by one of them with the K-- word.  Eye for an eye..

I agree with your post regarding cutting out unhealthy food in moderation. Trouble is, for some people moderation means having unhealthy food once a month, for others it means having it once a week and, for the ones that used to have it every day, it may mean cutting it out once a week.

[Rubystars]

HiWarp if someone who eats it every day cuts it out once a week at least that's a start.

Very true. One fewer meal is better than nothing. But not by much, unless they are slowly transitioning to cutting more of it out.

actually simply not eating enough will allow you to live longer and have less health problems. for adults that is.

children should always eat plenty.

Well that's why I said it was a start. Someone I knew was putting a lot of sugar in their coffee every morning adding up to a lot of unnecessary calories. They switched to stevia and now they are consuming fewer calories every day. The rest of their diet isn't the best but at least they're at less risk for diabetes because they cut out all that extra sugar every morning. Any change in the right direction helps.  Now if I could just get them to eat less breaded meat.. that would help them a lot too.

[Joe Gutfeld]

The same type of crap that happened to Imus 6 years ago is now happening to Paula Dean.  It's disgusting.  Paula didn't use the N-word on the air unlike Imus who said Nappy headed ho's on his radio show.

People who are 'cool' can say and do whatever they want. The rest of us need to look out for the PC police...

"There shall be one law for the 'cool' and another law for the 'uncool', you shall not judge an 'uncool' before a 'cool', I am the L-rd!" Doodaronomy 4:16

[Binyamin Yisrael]

What does it say really say in the Torah verse your wrote?

What adjective does it use that you translated as cool?

No, I was attempting humor... The Torah actually says that there is one law for both the Jew and the resident alien and to show no favoritism...

The Torah (Numbers 15:16) insists that: "One law and one ordinance shall be both for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you."

[Binyamin Yisrael]

Is that why you wrote:  "Doodaronomy" 4:16?

Like they say "cool dudes"?
