In reply to the discussion: Paula Deen: I’m like ‘that black football player who recently came out’ [View all]yeoman6987
(14,449 posts)10. I just wonder
I believe as a gay man, the following is going to happen in the future because I have heard a ton of straight people using the word: what is going to happen in 30 years when people ask "have you ever said the word "faggot" in your life? We may have thousands of Paul Deans in the future. People are so stupid for using the word "faggot" but decide today that it is not right to say it but still have it in their history. Paula used the word over 30 years ago and had this wrath. I think a lot of straight people will have that too later on. I have heard the word "faggot" so many times that politicians will be asked and perhaps disqualified to run later on.

Oh, few of us have tried to plan a party with only black servers in stereotypical uniforms.

Please read the post I first responded to. It was not about Paula Deen as much as it

Bigots often play the "I'm being oppressed too" card to deflect from their egregious behavior. nt

I'm sure he'd also rather be known as a 'football player' instead of a 'black football player'

I think the point is...why did she say "the black football player" who came out...

Okay. I don't think of you as a racist cook. I just think of you as a racist. Problem solved!

Can a person choke to death on their own ignorance? And by ignorance, I mean a stick of butter
