In reply to the discussion: I'm sorry, President Carter, but I can't forgive Paula Deen. [View all]ChazII
(6,448 posts)22. Along with Freshwest, I agree
with your remarks and observations. As an aside, waiting to see if Alec Baldwin is called on to apologize as well for his tweet earlier today. Both of them (Dean and Baldwin) are equally disgusting for their remarks and their lack of character.

I didn't try to speak for President Carter, who I admire more than any living president.

It's a custom among some that only the offended can grant forgiveness. Carter is speaking to all.

When Baldwin had that rant he showed his true colors and they didn't make a rainbow.

That's the thing. Deen did more than say a bad word, she harmed specific people.

I'm sorry that in 2013 so many still find this genteel bigotry acceptable.
