Please let this be the beginning of the end of Paula "deep fried, smothered in butter and lard" Deen. I cannot stand her approach to Southern cooking. There's no technique or skill involved. Just fried the hell out of everything. And I like she says things have changed since the 60's but she's still using the n-word…

You are totally wrong. Being conceived or born of a relationship derived from rape is not nearly the same as being the product of a coupling of two people who were bigots and owned people. There is shame in being related to people who owned slaves and sold them. There is sadness, but no shame, in being related to a…

Shocked that she still doesn't own slaves, maybe. Good God, Paula.

Yeah, but there is a difference between being linked to slavers because of their crimes. You cannot be implicated in it. That's like pointing out that Jewish people born of a rape by the Nazis against women in concentration camps have Nazi relatives. It isn't the same and stop trying to make us complicit in our being…

It was based on a May 17h deposition. She gave these statements on video tape and under oath. These were quotes pulled from the transcript and the video of her being deposed. Either Deen was perjuring herself or this document was falsified. If it isn't true, I would expect Deen to threaten to sue or to deny it.…

Many African-Americans have white blood in them from the slavery era - which, by definition, means that some of our ancestors were slave-owners.

She was devastated that she was born a century or so too late!

I've been saying for years that Paula Deen is a vile cretin, her soul being even worse than her awful food. Now we have confirmation.

Wasn't Paula Deen on one of those shows where they trace your ancestry and was just devastated to find out her family ran a plantation that owned slaves? So now I'm thinking those may have been tears of joy...or jealousy. Disgusting.

i still don't understand why my comments, as a long-time user, are greyed out. But this crap message gets a pass.

Uugugshhfddakldfjaldjf, they're in my thread. THEY'RE IN MY THREAD WHERE I SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT THEIR BULLSHIT. GET OUT OF MY THREAD, YOU RACIST LIARS.

Why did you even feel the need to make this comment? Just go on somewhere with your useless comments.

Unfortunately for casual racists, the the ability to pull off a disingenuously incredulous "good gracious, what on earth???" where supposed "black" or "ghetto" names are concerned went right out the fucking window as soon as the world became aware of Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin's children.

No you don't.

I'm just gonna leave this here since racist comments are pretty much inevitable at this point. This one's for you, racists!

I like it. It's a pretty standard name. If I have to hear about another Madison, Connor, Tanner or Logan I'm gonna puke as I jump from my roof. At least they didn't go crazy and give her some name that made them seem "cool." A cadence is a musical term so maybe it has something to do with that. It's a nice solid name.

It's Kanye's dead mother's name, so take it easy.

"failure to notice something actually offensive"

Yeah, but you didn't. You pretty much just added to the Lena Dunham tweet. Good job.

Yeah, you're not expressing rage at that joke either. You're expressing rage at people for not expressing rage.
