Paula Deen: Food Network Gives Her the ax

[Heddi]

82. I don't buy her "story" about why she wanted to call it the Sambo burger, and here's why

I'm from the south: born & raised in Charleston, SC, which is pretty fucking close to savannah, where this trainwreck asshole is from.

I'm only 37, far younger than Ms Deeeeeeeeeen, and *I* know that Sambo is a derogatory name for black people.

Shit, growing up, there was a Sambo's restaurant down the street from where I lived. My elementary school had copies of Little Black Sambo in the library.

Southerners *know* what Sambo means, and what it refers to. Especially Southerners of Ms Deeeeeeeeeens' age.

So, being only 37, and having spent the first 25 years of my life in Charleston, SC and it's surroundings, the idea that someone hearing "Sambo" and thinking "Oh, but it's just a mix of the name Sam and Beau" is bullshit.

Ms Deeeeeeeeeen is trying to pull someone's leg by relaying that story as the "aw shucks" reason for the naming of the burger.

She's full of shit.

Here is the Little Black Sambo book that was in my school library. Tell me Ms Dean didn't know this was racist, or that the name implied a stereotypical southern African American


fucking lying racist pig. I'm glad her nasty ass is off the airwaves. She made me embarrassed to be a Southener, with her bullshit sugary sweet exaggerated Yawwl Drawl and buttah buttah buttah. Fuck her. I hope she rots
