If you cast a show with Chris Rock as the head of household it might work.

I give her credit for being honest. The south is changing, for the better, and many who used racial slurs years ago would not dream of doing it now. The generation Paula came up in was different than it is today, "normal" was different, and views about race were different. As long as someone grows and learns, I refuse to hold their past against them.

That said, I wonder, if everyone was as honest as Paula was, what would happen if we asked everyone of all colors if they had ever referred to someone of a different color in a derogatory way.

I suspect that, if this were done and everyone guilty lost their job, we would not have much of a workforce left, nor anyone to play sports, hell we would probably go back to the middle ages.

I just feel that she is being judged very harshly on something, because she refused to lie.

She's losing a job because the public got to see the real woman, the one that called another woman a "piece of pussy" and talked about holding a "southern plantation" themed wedding amongst other bad behavior. If you read the whole deposition you will not feel so warm and fuzzy about her.

I did read it Ken, did you?

Yes, the whole revolting thing.

The part where she blew off her brother sexually harassing employees and watching porn at work was particularly enlightening.

By today's standards... disgusting... but by the standards of that day?

You are correct, that was my mistake.

I remember reading an interview with Pryor where he talked about that. That's a recurring sentiment - reclaiming it or diffusing it. I guess his intentions were good. I just don't agree with his methodology.

I am SO with you, lw. I normally make it a point never to speak ill of anyone, especially behind their back. I'm breaking my code. Way too much manic personality for me. Words that come to mind; loud, braggadocios, overbearing, garish. The show is more about her than the food.

The same can be said about Julia Child or Emeril or just about any other cooking show... and that's not meant to be an insult. The personality of the chef is what the show is built around. I've met a lot of great southern cooks over the years but none of them would be very compelling to watch on television.

Right you are about that...apologies to you both. I guess I went overboard, as she so rubs me the wrong way, but that's my problem, not hers.

Status: offline 		I think that's why I don't like food shows on tv so much. It's all about the the person and not the food. It's probably why I like Anthony Bourdain...you KNOW it's not really about the food but about him and his life. He says hat himself about his shows.

The only food shows I like are the ones where you don't see any persons talking about the food. It's just a show that has a background speaker while going all over the place talking about food or they cut out the image of the chef...you just basically see his/her hands doing the cooking...no voice, no face....just cooking and someone telling you "now add half cup of flour and mix.....".

I love Bourdain, too. I know what you mean.

Still, that was very bad form of me to snipe about her.

Status: offline 		Yes I have. I sometimes will watch the cooking shows on more obscure channels or public television where all it is is an over-voice as someone prepares something. The person who you don't see is talking in a bit of a monotone voice and just following along with what the person is doing step by step. It's basically a how-to video. There's no personality or anything like that...just step by step explanation.

I really dont like her attitude, it seems that she is speaking down to her audience.

Finally, I would not put her racist comments past her, she is clearly of the "old" south mentality.

Yup, usually you can find them on on Sunday afternoons on public tv channels or the more obscure paid tv channels.
