Madness & Reality Radio: Paula Deen, George Zimmerman, & Justice

Jun 25, 2013 No Comments by

In this episode we reset our previous conversation on the Paula Deen discrimination lawsuit. We’ll take a look at the recent developments, her series of apologies, and the subsequent backlash and reaction to her being dropped by Food Network. Question: Were they wrong to drop her?

Also, on the heels of the George Zimmerman trial for the death of Trayvon Martin. We’ll also discuss our feelings on the trial and the potential outcome. Central to the discussion would be the mostly white all-female jury and its impact.

Lastly, we’ll discuss the implications of this week’s upcoming rulings from the Supreme Court. As it stands, said decisions related to Gay Marriage, Affirmative Action, and the Voting Rights Act can have a lasting impact — whether good or bad — on our society at large.

Being the habitual line-stepper and fire-breathing liberal-progressive, whether others agree with him, isn’t his concern. He loves fried chicken, watermelon, and President Barack Obama. Yes, he's Black; yes, he's proud; and yes, he says it loud. As such, he's often misunderstood.

Rachel Jeantel, the Zimmerman Trial, & the R-Word

The trial in the case of George Zimmerman has begun. The eyes of society are watching closely already drawing conclusions and verdicts for the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed young black teen male, after a scuffle resulting from a confrontation (on Zimmerman’s part) for ‘looking suspicious’. So far, it’s been nerve-racking [...]

Paula Deen’s Wade in the Watermelon Ice Cream and Other Famous Recipes

I’m 2 years older than Paula Deen and am having a hard time getting worked up about her use of the word nigger. Considering how and when I’ve heard it during my six decades on this planet, I used to believe that it was one of the first words that white people taught their kids [...]
