So as many of you know celebrity Chef Paula Deen was recently discovered to be a racist. This discovery stem's from a current lawsuit in which Paula's former employee is suing her. The employee claims she was harassed and assaulted by Paula's brother Bubba, and that Paula herself frequently used the N word. In her deposition Paula admits to using the racial slur and gave example's of jokes she made. Paula claims most of her jokes where about Jewish people, Rednecks and Black folk, and she can not determined what offends other people. She then goes on to describe an idea for a party she wanted to have....
(Huffington Post has a copy of the entire deposition)
"The whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie.
"I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America... after the Civil War, during the Civil war, before the Civil War... It was not only black men, it was black women... I would say they were slaves."
OK so let me see if I get this You thought it was ok to have an entire wait staff (all black people) dress and pretend to be in the civil war? Because that was such an awesome time for us? I love how she said it like there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
