Stomachs Over Hearts - Good 'Ol 'Murica

All around me, I'm seeing and hearing outrage that Paula Deen lost her job due to a racist comment. One individual on a Facebook page down-played the severity of racism in their smart ass, sarcastic comment "Oh, and thank God none of us have EVER been racist. Only this woman. Bad woman. Bad." As if so many people are racist that it's ridiculous for someone to lose their job over it.
If history has proved anything, it's proved that words do far more damage than any of us would like to openly admit. Racism is just another form of bullying. If you punched someone at work, would you lose your job? Of course! That's bullying. So why is everyone suddenly so defensive of a woman they don't actually know and down-playing the fact that she's a bully? Because she makes yummy food?
Leave it to America to put their stomachs before their hearts.



This woman clearly DID deserve to lose her job and public title! She is not worthy of being a role-model to anyone!
