LOL! Fat southern trash she is. I can't believe she said those things about races across the board. Let me take that back, she is from the South so it's not farfetched...since she is blaming her "upbringing" being raised there the reason why. [censored]!
OP, shirt isn't racist lol. It's Spanish for black cat lol. I hate everything has to be about black/white/brown/red/yellow...it's a shame!
You sure like to spout insults relating to body condition and geographical origin, yet you close your post with saying you hate the fact the people make "everything about black/white/brown/red/yellow....". There was no reason to attack Miss Deen except to show your own bias against mildly overweight folks from the south. By all accounts by those that really know her, she's a very kind woman. She's apologized and now paid for it with her career ruined by hypocrites. Yet folks such as yourself still want to pile on the attack! Seems to me you ought to do some self examination my friend.
I'm born and raised in the South (Alabama to be exact) so I'm not talking bad about my home or being biased because I have a lot of great friends in all races and size back home, BUT I do realize there was/still is a lot of hate there.
Who are the hypocrites? She said out of her own mouth that "her Southern upbringing" is why she used racist terms, which is why I called her southern trash. She stated that her friends/family and husband constantly tell racist jokes using the "N" word and she isn't offended by what they said. She stated that she wanted a traditional Southern wedding with little N words servers, but was afraid to have it due to the media. Maybe that's being a nice lady to you, but that's trash to me. If you think this kind of behavior/thought process is OK, then you really need to do some self examination my friend. The only thing that I apologize for using is the term fat, I didn't have to say that, I was speaking from disgust. I don't care what you say, anyone who is a racist or use racist terms about different races is TRASH to me!
She isn't sorry for what she said, she is sorry for being caught and messing up her OWN CAREER. I don't feel sorry for her one bit. My mother called me to break the news to me because she is a big fan of the show. I thought it was a lie until I read the statements she quoted. Afterwards, I was disgusted.
And I still stand behind my black/white...statement based on the origin of this thread. The OP posted a nice looking shirt, but is kind of afraid to wear it because some idiot may think it's racist.
Calling somebody "fat southern trash" has some sort of virtue then? Aren't you doing the same thing you accuse Miss Deen of? Yes, that is exactly what you are doing. That my friend is hypocrisy. If I may use a term from MY own upbringing....it is "the pot calling the kettle black". Miss Deen may have said things that some of us find objectionable, but so what? I'm 100% certain (even without knowing you) that if you had been forced under oath you would also have said things in your past that could be determined as racist. Should you lose a career over it and be demonized in the media, even after apologizing? No. They are just words and opinions. Do I use the term we are referring to? Yes. But that's my personal business and owe you no explanation of why or when I say it. And I am not sorry for it. But at least I am no hypocrite like the media and various folks like yourself that are so busy pointing a finger and destroying a woman's career over it. Anti-caucasion bias is completely rampant in the media and almost a given in circumstances involving work, business, entertainment and such. That is my main point of the hypocrisy of this whole thing. One silly word or statement and a person is ruined....unless of course it's coming from a person 'of color'. Then it's ok.
