Celebrity Chef Paula Deen first shocked the nation with news by revealing that using donuts as hamburger buns and deep frying cheescakes can lead to diabetes. Now she’s shocking the world even more by showing that old people from the south can sometimes be racist.
Specifically, Paula has admitted in court that a dinner party where black waiters dressed like slaves would be super neat.
She didn’t say anything about shackles but she wanted to say something about shackles.
Wow…
That’s alright. I think there’s a way Paula Deen can learn from this experience and make some good television in the process.
We get her on one of those wacky court TV shows like Texas Justice (is that still on?). The last time I saw that show, the judge was brandishing a wooden bat he called “the justice bat” and made people do wacky shit like dress up in sumo outfits and duke it out. The judge will sentence Paula Deen in a poetic “let the punishment fit the crime” fashion to spend one month serving a black family. Have the cameras follow her around as she carries out her sentence.
At first she’s really insensitive and maybe serves them fried chicken and watermelon for dinner while giggling but over time she comes to learn the dual lesson that everybody should already know of “slavery sucks” and “racism is bad”.
You could call the show “Guess Who’s Serving Us Dinner?”
This is why when I do an 1800s themed dinner parties, I only hire Irish waitstaff.
Seriously, I’ve never had any respect for this woman and even that has been diminished.
