Somebody Should Have Checked her A** a Long Time Ago

Okay so I have been so busy with school and life and all I hadn't had a chance to address Paula Deen's situation, but now is the time. SO after reading all the news feeds and articles about Paula Deen and her racist comments and actions the biggest thing that pisses me the fuk off is why didn't somebody check her a** a long time ago when she first said the ish. This is a prime example of how the media controls when we are upset and what we are upset about. This issue should have been addressed publicly when it first happened, but there was no light shed on it. Now all of sudden because the network she worked for is not renewing her contract due to " racist incidents" everyone wants to be enraged. I am willing to bet there is more to this story than the media is letting us in on as far as why they are not renewing her contract.If the Food Network was so intolerant of racist remarks and actions why wasn't she let go from her contract when it happened. So I am not going to give The Food Network a pat on the back or hero cape for their late actions. I am also pissed the fuk off with Al Sharptons comments saying "why hold her accountable for something she said 20yrs ago and she made a mistake", especially when he is advocating to banish the N word. Every body is only giving this lady a pass because she cooked some good food what does this say about Black America. I feel that if we want to be treated fully equal we can not give out passes to certain people of certain status when they are making racist statements and having racist actions. We have to be non tolerant because Paula Deen is not really suffering from anything, she has made her money and has lived her life and has not really been held accountable for her actions. This also exemplifies how people do what you allow them to do, the fact that she had a black assistant who didn't mind her actions and didn't check her on them says allot. I don't believe Paula Deen made a mistake because she had more than one slip. It's like I always say ignorance breeds ignorance and if her family were southern slave owners and thought that way then they raised a child that became a woman that thinks that same way and people have been letting her pass with this behavior so why would she change.#PissedtheFukOff
