Americans actually DO think that way.

I kind of have a weird respect for Deen. You know - as a black American - I wouldn't want that targeted at me.

But at least she is HONEST.

A lot of people think it - but just 'wrap it up' in 'advisement' that I'm uppity, or they were shocked I've never had children, or that I was married, or have a college degree.

At least she comes right out and says it instead of trying to dance around how I'm not "black like that". Give the woman credit for honesty.

And she was still hiring black people. She might be a bigot -but she's not a racist and impacting blacks economically.
