re: Paula Deen

My thread was hijacked

Well said man. My favorite Supreme Court Justice was Brennan because he recognized the fact he was fallable and could change his mind when presented with additional information and having time to reflect. Those that are set in their ways are static and by definition cannot grow. While I am an atheist and think it is just as likely that Cthulhu and his tentacles are just as likely to grab me in death as Jesus and his love I realize that I don't know shite. To some you are always gonna be a **** and unfortunately that ain't gonna change. Paula Deen is cool with me even though Lady and son's is not even as good as golden corral. Talk is cheap. Even on a message board.

Number one, I'm a worship Pastor for a MULTI-cultural church.......

So, you're a pastor in a Christian church.............but you refuse to Forgive a woman for a word she said 30 years ago?? Even after she's apologized profusely?? ANd not only that... but you're actually encouraging the destruction of here livelihood......and hope that she loses everything she's worked for?

Wow.

I mean, Jesus was nailed to a fricking cross breathing his last breaths........and he was able to forgive the soldiers (aka hired government stooges) that nailed him there and were sitting on the ground below him rolling dice to gamble for who got his clothes when he was dead.

Sorry, but something doesn't add up to me here, "Pastor".

Also, pretty sure the Bible says something about "thou shalt not steal." So, check into that too.

Thanks.

I'm the first to say no one should use the n-word, whether black, white or in any song. There's been many "leaders" who have come out and voiced their disdain for the use of the word and protested against various record labels, although efforts have been futile so far. It's just become so deeply ingrained into popular culture that it will be very difficult to get rid of completely. Personally, I despise most elements of hip hop culture and hope there is a major shift in the mentality soon.

There's no such thing as black only colleges. There ARE HBCUs, which were created out of necessity since Universities such as ours were resistant to integration well into the 1960s, but it's not like white people or any other racial group aren't allowed to attend. A couple years back there was a white valedictorian of Morehouse, and white students can even apply for minority status at these Universities, though I'm not too well versed on specific benefits one would gain. There's plenty faculty of white and other racial backgrounds at these institutions. Has the label of HBCU outlived its mantra and usefulness? Possibly, but it's not as if they're exclusive.

I have no idea what "blacklegalproblems" is, but it sounds like some stupid Facebook group or Twitter page.

Anyway as another posted stated, I grew up in a household where I was not allowed to use the n word or any other variation of the word. In addition, I was lectured in the same manner to never say any slurs period. The majority of my friends and friends of my family have been white and traditionally southern in culture. Often times, they'd refer to themselves as rednecks, and each time my father or mother would ask them to please not use that word, and they would oblige.

I'm definitely not perfect. Oddly enough, the only times I've ever thought any racial slur has been the n word with the er about my own racial group. I can't say I've ever vocalized or written any disparaging remarks about someone based on their race, religion or country of origin though.

This coming from a man who blamed white privilege on his failed work promotion.


Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?

*hands clap*

I don't remember judging anyone, but you've proved your point I guess....

I just want the land.

Ohhh I can be a cougar.
