I remember finding this site way back in 2001. Lurking in the shadows. First post I pulled up had the Gong involved in a urinating match with one of the moderators because he needlessly insulted someone that disagreed with his thoughts.
So now it's pay respect because he has behaved in a civilized manner?

How many lives she and cracked head Bubba has destroyed with their toxic workplace environment if all or the rest of the allegations against the pair proves out in court?
The key word is proved out in court and that has not happened...Just a whee bit dramatic are you not? Someone's life destroyed over a work place environment? It's a job for christ sake, not the end of the world. We all have been through jobs that we have not liked for reasons that were toxic and that's why we leave them.
This is about a disgruntled employee finding a miscreant tort lawyer and going after the big bucks.

‘N-word’ user Paula Deen is an Obama supporter
Television chef Paula Deen, who lost her gig Friday with the Food Network after admitting and apologizing for having used racial epithets, including the “N-word,” is a supporter of President Barack Obama and campaigned on his behalf in 2008.
CORRECTION: The first version of this article incorrectly stated Deen allegedly called President Obama the “N-word” in front of her employees, when, in fact, the lawsuit states her brother Bubba Hiers is the one accused of using the epithet to describe Obama.

Did you insult I because I asked you to agree with I or did you do it in the hopes that I might answer to your imbecilic rants and get thrown off the Board again?
You are right it has been going on for years. Idiots attack I and Mods are just waiting for my answer to take action. That is the way it works around here. The slow leaner part is where I learn not to pay clowns any mind.

As to Moderators their were many Mods on this Board who had agenda beyond purely Moderating a discussion forum. There were even Moderators conspiring BTH to throw I off the Board. I saw the Posts myself.

She admitted to telling Niggaz jokes and to Bubba been on drugs. She gave explanations for both. Outside of the court setting she was still cracking niggaz jokes when NYT invited her to a talk.
If anyone is been dramatic it you. Your Nickers was all in a twist from the opening bell. I am going to put you on my early XMas Gift List....get you a hula hoop, so you can have something to play with. Unwind a little.

The NEW Thread you started is FALSE INFORMATION just as the Ann Coulter thread that you posted. You did not figure out that Coulter information was satire until someone pointed it out. YOU than posted the Paula Deen information on that same thread to try to save face. Why do you find a need to chase down dirt on somebody white? Especially if it's not true? Are you taking blu's place for a bit? Is he on vacation?

Comments she made on the "Today" show may already put her in conflict with other allegations made in connection with the court case. It is alleged that she said she wanted to hire several African American men to staff a plantation-themed wedding she was planning for her brother in 2007.
maybe u should contact the LA Times re printing wrong info ....since u privy to wat went on maybe u should open the secret meeting files....

Paula Deen’s Cook Tells of Slights, Steeped in History
By KIM SEVERSON
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Dora Charles and Paula Deen were soul sisters. That’s what Ms. Deen called the black cook from the start, even before the books and the television shows and the millions of dollars.
For 22 years, Mrs. Charles was the queen of the Deen kitchens. She helped open the Lady & Sons, the restaurant here that made Ms. Deen’s career. She developed recipes, trained other cooks and made sure everything down to the collard greens tasted right.
“If it’s a Southern dish,” Ms. Deen once said, “you better not put it out unless it passes this woman’s tongue.”
The money was not great. Mrs. Charles spent years making less than $10 an hour, even after Ms. Deen became a Food Network star. And there were tough moments. She said Ms. Deen used racial slurs. Once she wanted Mrs. Charles to ring a dinner bell in front of the restaurant, hollering for people to come and get it.
“I said, ‘I’m not ringing no bell,’ ” Mrs. Charles said. “That’s a symbol to me of what we used to do back in the day.”
For a black woman in Savannah with a ninth-grade education, though, it was good steady work. And Ms. Deen, she said, held out the promise that together, they might get rich one day.
Now, Ms. Deen, 66, is fighting empire-crushing accusations of racism, and Mrs. Charles, 59 and nursing a bad shoulder, lives in an aging trailer home on the outskirts of Savannah.
“It’s just time that everybody knows that Paula Deen don’t treat me the way they think she treat me,” she said.
The relationship between Mrs. Charles and Ms. Deen is a complex one, laced with history and deep affection, whose roots can be traced back to the antebellum South. Depending on whether Mrs. Charles or Ms. Deen tells the story, it illustrates lives of racial inequity or benevolence.
Jessica B. Harris, a culinary scholar whose books have explored the role of Africans in the Southern kitchen, said Ms. Deen and Mrs. Charles are characters in a story that has been played out since slaves started cooking for whites. “Peering through the window of someone else’s success when you have been instrumental in creating that success is not a good feeling,” Ms. Harris said. “Think about who made money from the blues.”
Ms. Deen ran a restaurant in a Best Western hotel when Mrs. Charles, newly divorced and tired of fast-food kitchens, walked in and auditioned by cooking her version of Southern food. Ms. Deen hired her immediately.
Their birthdays are a day apart, so they celebrated together. When Ms. Deen catered parties to survive until they could open the Lady & Sons, Mrs. Charles hustled right beside her.
“If I lost Dora, I would have been devastated,” Ms. Deen wrote in her 2007 memoir, “It Ain’t All About the Cooking.”
Early on, Mrs. Charles claims, Ms. Deen made her a deal: “Stick with me, Dora, and I promise you one day if I get rich you’ll get rich.”
Now, Mrs. Charles said, she wished she had gotten that in writing. “I didn’t think I had to ’cause we were real close back then,” she said.
That is where the two women’s stories diverge. Ms. Deen, through her publicity team, offered a statement denying all of Mrs. Charles’s accusations: “Fundamentally Dora’s complaint is not about race but about money. It is about an employee that despite over 20 years of generosity feels that she still deserves yet even more financial support from Paula Deen. ”
What is more, the document states, Ms. Deen “provided guidance and support through the many ups and downs of Mrs. Charles’s life.”
Investigators for the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition have spoken to Mrs. Charles. Robert Patillo, a lawyer for the coalition, visited Savannah in June and July to interview Ms. Deen’s restaurant employees, including Mrs. Charles, who still works at the Lady & Sons.
The 20 or so others Mr. Patillo spoke with were divided on the conditions for black and white workers. Some said there was bias against blacks, while others said the Lady & Sons was a terrific place to work.
The Rainbow PUSH report said, “There was evidence of systemic racial discrimination and harassment at the operations.” But, it went on to say, “there is limited evidence of direct racism or racial discrimination” by Ms. Deen.
Mrs. Charles says she is not expecting any money from Ms. Deen, especially not now.
