Paula Deen's use of the "N"-Word

This Borderline GC Race War was interesting enough. UVA17 has typed every predictable message board cliche' in the book and is impressed with himself/herself (we've seen much better). Perhaps he/she is really a teenager who is at least one generation younger than some of us in this thread. Only a teenager would be so impressed with his/her attempts to offend older people with message board cliche'. The humor of UVA17 aside, everything he/she has typed actually solidifies this thread topic. I doubt he/she would have wasted the keyboard if I was assumed to be a white person. He/she definitely would not have joked about an "angry Black woman", bitterness over racial issues that he/she finds funny, and the Damon Wayans youtube would not have been used.

PDITY? (Paula Deen Is That You?)

Oh Phil, Phil, Phil. You are such a closed-minded dolt. I'm making assumptions about your race? Maybe you're making assumptions about mine. But that can't be right, can it? Because anyone who doesn't tow the Official Persecuted Blacks has to be Miss Lily White 2013.

Maybe some people are just reared to work hard and succeed instead of rolling over and playing persecuted.

The Damon Wayans clip is comedy gold; if you honestly can't see yourself in it then you are deluded.

Still, I'm flattered that I'm on your mind

WTH is "the Official Persecuted Blacks"? How do you tow such a thing? Is it another tugboat?

It's obvious that you are not from around here. Sit down, take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth.

Read Two Nations: Black and White, Separate, Hostile, Unequal by Andrew Hacker before you come back and post anything else.

Ah yes, calling attention to a typo. Last bastion of those who really don't have anything else to say.

Andrew Hacker? Already read it. Typical white apologist dribble. Am I supposed to listen to him on the basis of his whiteness? Hack, indeed

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

ETA: Kitchen porn? Oh.

You are on a roll.

I'm just wondering if she's attempting to insult members of every sorority on UVA's campus? She's gotten KD and Theta down...14 more to go! She can see what it's like to "tow" that line when recruitment comes round.

I do want to see it because it is a subject that I want to incorporate into my research. It's incredibly intriguing and incredibly heartbreaking.

She used to hate her father because she has his skin complexion.

Unfortunately, a young man I once dated had a similar complex. His father (who abandoned him) was light skinned with gray eyes. He simultaneously was attracted to light skin (both in the women he dated and wishing he had it himself) and made borderline insulting comments about it, too. Of course, his resentment against light-skin had little to do with the skin and signified a deeper issue with his dad, but he came to associate dark skin with not being worth anything or worth keeping around. This was the same young man who said one of the things he loved best about me was my "good hair." I'm almost laughing remembering the look on his face. I'm sure he was expecting me to say "Thank you" rather than the...er....passionate...reaction I had.

ETA: StealthMode, they just showed the part of the documentary in which two Black men said they preferred darker Black women. One man said he wants his children to be darker like pharoahs and queens. Then he said "I'm being real ignorant right now" so he knew he was talking crazy. LOL.

So thaaaaaat's where the FB status originated.

There can't possibly be THAT many PNMs from Birmingham going through at UVA, right?
