Full disclosure... What the fuck is a sambo burger???
Is this how CACs think? All that is needed is an apology, admission of guilt then we move on?Or VandeSloot for that matter!
That quote is full of irony seeing how there's numerous ex-cons who still after having served their time get punished through diminished employment & education opportunities, da right to vote taken away, etc. Mike Vick, anyone???

Isaiah Washington apologized and they still didn't have any fucks to give
I just have one thing to say. Doesn't these white people who are defending Paula Deen realize that this makes them look racists? I mean they are defending her use of using a derogatory term against another race and her wishing that she could have a pre-civil war party. I mean WTF!!!
I don't fucking understand this country!

Neely's Statement
The Neelys Weigh in on Paula Deen Controversy
By KRISTA WICK June 24, 2013
In light of celebrity chef Paula Deen's recent controversy concerning past use of the N-word, her former Food Network colleagues, Patrick and Gina Neely, have come forward publicly with their thoughts on the matter.
In a joint statement to ETonline, the Down Home With the Neelys stars reveal that they were unhappy to learn about Deen's behavior, but have faith that she will emerge from this controversy a better person.
"We were shocked and saddened to learn of the comments from Paula Deen. Racism of any kind from anyone is simply unacceptable and cannot be tolerated," said the couple.
"In our own relationship, Paula has shown us kindness and generosity. We trust that Paula's apologies are sincere and hope there is a positive lesson to be learned from this situation."
Late last week, Deen issued a public apology for her use of racially-charged language.
"I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I've done," she said. "I want to learn and grow from this. Inappropriate, hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable."

Salon article:
http://www.salon.com/2013/06/20/paula_deens_racism_isnt_shocking_at_all/
excerpt:
The most interesting part of the deposition was the blitheness of Deen’s responses and her complete lack of shame. Her attitude was that of a person who is surrounded by like-minded individuals, a person who has been so thoroughly culturally conditioned that she doesn’t know any better and doesn’t even have enough of a sense of self-preservation to tell a few little white lies about her racial attitudes.
In truth, Deen does know better. She has, certainly, never said the N-word or made openly racist comments on the air or in any of the countless media interviews she has done over the years. In the deposition she even acknowledges that she, her children and her brother object to the N-word being used in “any cruel or mean behavior,” as if there’s a warm and friendly way for white people to use the word.
This entire debacle reveals that there are unspoken rules around racism. There is a complex matrix for when you can be racist and with whom. There are ways you behave in public, and ways you behave in private. There are things you can say among friends, things you wouldn’t dare say anywhere else, that you must keep to yourself in public.
Writer Teju Cole succinctly identified why so many people are agog about the Deen revelations when he tweeted, “The real reason Paula Deen’s in the news is not because she’s racist, but because she broke the unwritten rules about how to be racist.” Most people are familiar with these rules. We suspect that everyone is, indeed, a little bit racist. It’s not a question of if someone will reveal their racism but, rather, when. Or maybe it’s people of color who are familiar with these rules and willing to acknowledge they exist. Maybe it is people of color who wait, without bated breath, for that when.
In her deposition, for whatever reason, Deen decided to break these rules or ignore them. Maybe she knew she was rich and successful enough that the rules, frankly, no longer apply to her.

Who freed the slaves, Kaya?
In the book, Deen, who was born in 1947, frankly wrote about her youth in Albany, Ga., where she “never thought” about the fact she was living “in the mix of what was fixin’ to be a huge social change.”
In one passage, she detailed a particularly troubling experience she had at the age of 10 with a “real nice black woman” who “often babysat” her and that woman’s child:

it was partly the abolitionists (like Frederick Douglass and others) that freed the slaves. they are the ones that put alot of pressure on the govt.
but really when the civil war started, alot of the slaves "freed" themselves. many fled the plantations to find refuge up north, many went to fight w/ the union soldiers. many rebelled, burned plantations down, killed cacs, took over the land.
there was alot of crazy shit that went down round the start of the civil war but we are taught to believe that we were all docile and happily working until lincoln one day decided that slavery was a terrible thing.
Something this depraved sounds made up under normal circumstances. Inherently evil. Even at a young age they are.
The slave rebellions + economic decline of profits from slavery.
I keep telling you all to buy this book and get out of the mental matrix
The New World plantation system was a highly developed form of the slave mode of production that, unlike ancient slavery, was integrated into and increasingly driven by a growing capitalist world market.
In Capitalism and slavery, Eric Williams argued that the profits from New World slavery had significantly contributed to the ‘primitive accumulation’ of capital that enabled the industrial revolution, especially in Britain. However, by the end of the 18th century, the profitability of plantation slavery was in decline and so was the slave system as a whole.
This latter point is contested at least for the period before the abolition of the slave trade. However, it was certainly in decline relative to the overall development of British capitalism, which is Williams’ main point. It had played a crucial role during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the process of accumulation of capital, but became increasingly secondary and eventually marginal to later development. There were now more profitable outlets in industry and commerce for investments than in the dirty slave business.
At its high point towards the end of the eighteenth century the Atlantic triangular trade supplied about one third of all European imports and could make up to 200 percent profit on investments.
In Britain a copper and brass industry was created along the Avon valley to supply Bristol with quality metal goods to be traded for slaves in Africa. Similarly the iron industries of the Severn valley did the same. Wealth poured into ports such as Bristol, London, Liverpool and Glasgow, which provided more capital for investments and credit to kick-start the industrial revolution. By 1770 ‘Britain’s colonial markets absorbed 38% of her exports’. [4]
But it was during the last quarter of the eighteenth century that industrial take-off occurred leading to a gradual relative decline in the importance of the slave colonies.
It was the existing dynamism of emergent British capitalism based on wage labour that enabled Britain to become the dominant slaving nation. By the end of the eighteenth century there were fifty factories in Manchester alone employing hundreds even thousands of workers. [5]
Rapid industrialisation required new larger markets and drew in more and more capital investment, pushing the Atlantic trade system into relative decline.
British capitalism had outgrown the triangular trade.
Imperial competition
There were other factors in the equation.
We have mentioned the revolutionary 1791 victory of the Black Jacobins in Haiti, now a dangerous beacon to slaves everywhere.
At the same time, the loss of Haiti was seen in Britain as a welcome blow to French interests, which had been more dependent on slave profits than the British.
Although Britain had been the premier slaving nation, slavery now appeared to benefit Britain’s competitors more than Britain itself.
Prior to revolution in Haiti, this one large island colony had provided France with two thirds of it foreign earnings. In particular, Napoleonic France needed the profits from slavery more than industrialising Britain did.
The abolitionists, whose ideology corresponded to the interests of egalitarian and democratic artisan and proletarian classes in alliance with Christian fundamentalists had started with the support of only nine MPs. But, political instability in the colonies, changing economic priorities and now war with France, led a once marginal anti-slavery lobby to gradually gain ground within sections of the ruling class and their representatives in parliament, which now turned to support measures against the slave trade.
In May 1806 parliament passed an act, supported by the abolition movement, banning British subjects from participating in the slave trade with France and its allies.
The pro-slavery lobby was outmanoeuvred because the bill was presented as a patriotic war measure directed against French interests. It was a major blow to the slave trade and laid the ground for the 1807 act of abolition.
The Royal Navy’s subsequent campaigns against the international slave trade were presented as a moral crusade by Britain, but was much more a form of economic war against its less economically developed competitors.

[SIZE]What is a "racism charge"?
Can someone help me?
The reason this all came out to begin with is that she is being sued by former employees claiming racism by Paula. Most of this stuff was from court transcripts.

kaya, the law of the United States begins with the Constitution, the 3 branches of government exist for one purpose, to carry out & continue what is outlined in that document, while it is DEFINITELY true that many have subverted and outright disobeyed its purpose & meaning, nonetheless @ the end of the day it contains the laws that White people, for the most part, follow.
The US and the "CACs" in charge make their own path and usually don't succumb to outside pressure, it has ALWAYS been internal pressure that made a difference hence their late entries into both WWI & II, and their continuing deaf ear to abolishing capitol punishment, despite England, France & Canada constant pleas for them to change, the 13th Amendment is Lincoln's lasting legacy, it is the absolute "law" that legally abolished slavery, even though, with the assassination of Lincoln it was carried on in other ways.
When England, France or ANY other country makes laws for the US, holla back, until then...
Lincoln freed the slaves.

does NOT equal to Lincoln freed the slaves
else the Civil Rights Act abolished discrimination
Funny you laid out your white definition and then turned around and spit in the faces of your ancestors who died fighting for freedom.
Have you read "Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams?
If not then you are way behind the very same white people who have given Dr Eric Williams his props on this.
Mind you this book was writtern in 1944 and still hold its weight in 2013.
Go do your research and get back.
Short story:
In elementary school I learned that 1-2 = cannot
then in middle school I learned that 1-2=-1, negative numbers
What you know may sound valid now, but when you become diligent as a student of life, you put away elementary notions.
