Thank you! My thoughts EXACTLY! Words may hurt, but actions speak far louder. She treated her employees like dirt, especially her black employees. They helped make her what she is & she had zero problem living the good life, while they lived in trailer parks, scraping by. To me, that is the real issue here. Her…

Seriously. She and Matt go on and on about how the discrimination lawsuit was dropped, but it wasn't dropped because Paula didn't discriminate against her black employees. It was dropped because judges ruled that Lisa Jackson, the white woman who sued Paula, wasn't eligible to get paid since she wasn't personally the…

Ask and ye shall receive. Also, I think I pulled a muscle from eye rolling that comment so hard.

The ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is truly the most apt response to this nonsense. I feel like this is the inside of Paula Deen's head 97% of the time.

Plenty of people get money to do it, but almost nobody gets the heaping sums of cash NBC places at his feet. Makes zero sense. He stopped trying a long, long time ago.

Ugh, I hate the narrative that "slaves were happy and grateful" - yeah, being subject to rape, torture, starvation, and having your family and children ripped away from you sounds like something that would make people 'happy'.

And in the meantime... Ann Curry. I guess he hates her just cause she shows how awful he is.

Agreed, this makes me fucking crazy. It's fucked up to drop the "N" word, but it is far more problematic to me that she wanted to essentially throw slavery themed parties, having all black servers in a plantation setting. And her remarks about how happy enslaved people were. As a historian of slavery it enrages me…

People with mental health issues have enough fucking stigma to deal with without someoneimplying that she was only racist because she was "sick" and "should have been under the care of a doctor".

this, yes. I don't care that she used the N word. I'm sad she did, but really what is worse is that she just won't say, "I'm sorry I said that- I was wrong to, and I shouldn't have, and I'm sorry that me using that word has hurt many people." Also, her denial about her brother's wedding and how odd that whole…

"and to talk about how she's a reformed person who once used the word "nigger."

It's amazing that Matt Lauer actually receives money to interview people, isn't it? Even for a morning news circle jerk interview he's terrible.

Yeah seriously. Excuse me while I call the cops on everybody I dislike. Apparently I can get them all fucked over today without even getting up from my seat. Thanks, justice.

I'll join that team. Look, you want to have sex in a car in the middle of the day? More power to you. But sometimes someone will see that and be offended. And, yeah probably the whole thing centered on the cop thinking he was a john and she was a hooker. But if they were in fact having sex in a car in a major urban…

Yup. If someone called in a lewd act, then he could have been less of a dick about it. However, this is a really different story than the one we were first told (which wasn't necessarily her fault): woman kisses boyfriend on street, is stopped by cop.

I honestly think so, yes. I'm glad the transcript is out there, and that people are having a conversation about it. Maybe more people will learn what their rights are. Ms. Watts clearly knew her rights, and I'm impressed by that.

It's not so much a game as it is our lives, but, yeah, being black in America is tough. Thanks for pointing that out. At least someone notices.

I'm fully #TeamNoOne on this one.

Yes. To teach police officers the fucking laws they protect for one. To point out racial profiling at its ugliest, for two.

Everything else about this aside:
