Paula Deen knows how 'that black football player' feels
On Michael Sam:
Quote:
I feel like ‘embattled’ or ‘disgraced’ will always follow my name. It’s like that black football player who recently came out. He said, ‘I just want to be known as a football player. I don’t want to be known as a gay football player.’ I know exactly what he’s saying. I’m fighting to get my name back
On Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty:
Quote:
It’s amazing that some people are given passes and some people are crucified. I have new empathy for these situations, though. My dad always told me, ‘Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.
lol. I know. She just quoted him as saying he didn't want to be referred to as a gay football player after referring to him as a black football player.
I get her point, even though it's kind of a reach to compare herself to him, but I don't think she was being racist in talking about Michael Sam who is gay and black. However, I'm more so wondering if it's more politically correct to say African-American or Black?
lol. I know. She just quoted him as saying he didn't want to be referred to as a gay football player after referring to him as a black football player.
I mean...the fact that she refered to him as "that black football player" as opposed to just "that football player" kinda shows she really didn't learn much from the situation she went through
on the guy from duck dynasty he said some pretty ****ed up **** too but he didn't get as much backlash.
