I'll have some spam, spam, spam and eggs, spam, spam and spam, and some irony-fortified ham!

son says mommas not a racist because he had Hank Aaron pajamas when he was 7.

Yeah, that'll work.

But mama can take care of him after he gets unceremoniously fired and shunned.

I can assure you there were plenty of their neighbors who wouldn't have let that happen. It's just gross. Savannah is slightly better, but they all have a very long way to go.

Not exactly the best spokesperson for a food company.

Better get crackin', then!

They have a lot of room to condemn others.

Something about her having diabetes came out earlier last year, and the first thing I thought was about how she was always talking about using so much butter when she cooked.
She was always talking about dipping whatever she was cooking in butter, just soak it with butter, butter this, butter that.
Butter, butter, butter.

because I could never stand her. But she has a $16 million empire, book deals (a zillion books on Amazon), cookware, DVD's,
QVC, Walmart, Sears, JC Penney, Target other endorsements.
Her sons bubba and booboo are probably frantic at losing their meal ticket, as the "momma's not a racist cuz I had Hank Aaron jammies" was the best defense they could come up with. Pathetic.

So I typed in "Cooking Magazines" the other day to get a list and see if one of them jogged my memory (it was Saveur I was thinking about). I was so surprised how many of them had her face on the cover, something like half of them! That woman sure has, or had, quite an empire.

As a TV personality she always totally creeped me out. That huge silver hair and grinning clown face. That's not to say I hated her since I have no idea what she's like in real life. But her media persona sure rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it triggered my innate genetic fear of clowns.

All these big corporations firing her? What hubris. What hypocrisy. if we're gonna go after racists, go after the ones in congress who've thrown the country into gridlock because the Black man in the white house is acid in their guts. Go after the people who keep electing them, those folks who - regardless of age, gender - think just like Paula.

Paula is a fool. When I find out she's funding right wing groups, then I'll hate on her. Until then, I'm gonna focus on the real enemies of Black folks - like the supreme court that just today delivered a devastating blow to voting rights.

Don't be diverted by this Paula nonsense - red meat thrown by the right (Smithfield Hams indeed).

On the one hand I thought her attitude towards food helped people justify their "well let's just go ahead and clog every last artery" cooking and eating style. On the other, I do remember one time she had Jimmy Carter on and said what a fan she was of his. Also, she pissed off some Christians by letting it slip that she and her husband had slept together before marriage (*gasp*), so that won her some points in my favor.
