Paula Deen Accuser Speaks Out: This Was Never About the N-Word

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

The woman who set the Paula Deen racial scandal into motion has spoken out for the first time since it broke last month, telling CNN that her lawsuit "has never been about the N-word."

Lisa Jackson, former manager at one of the celebrity chef's restaurants in Georgia, provided the statement to CNN through her lawyer, Matthew Billips. She is suing Deen and her brother, Bubba Hier, alleging they committed numerous acts of violence, discrimination and racism that resulted in the end of her five-year employment at Lady & Sons and Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House restaurants.

Jackson said that the lawsuit was intended "to address Ms. Deen's patterns of disrespect and degradation of people that she deems to be inferior."

"I may be a white woman, but I could no longer tolerate her abuse of power as a business owner, nor her condonation of Mr. Hier's despicable behavior on a day-to-day basis," the statement provided to CNN's Don Lemon continued. "I am what I am, and I am a human being that cares about all races, and that is why I feel it is important to be the voice for those who are too afraid to use theirs."

Jackson's attorney did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.

On Monday, Deen and her brother filed suit against Jackson contending that she had no grounds has no grounds to allege racial discrimination as a white woman. Their attorneys pointed to the Supreme Court's court's ruling in the Prop 8 case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, in which the court said anyone suing in federal court must have standing.

Jackson has said she was offended by racial slurs she heard while working at the restaurant, and that she has "bi-racial nieces" whose father is African-American.

White folks don't hear that. They keep saying "who cares if she said the N word 30 years ago", missing the whole point of the lawsuit.

Im glad she called the media out on this, because they were definitely controlling the narrative here. The media made it all about the N word, because that allowed them to sensationalize it in a way that they could also implicate black people in this story as well, and turn them from victims to the actual problem: "well blacks use it", "what about rappers", "its just a word, they're sensitive". If you havent noticed, we have a lil blame the black man problem here in America.

They completely ignored things like Deen suggesting her black employees dress like slaves, and her pro-antebellum views, because thats a lil harder to fit into their agenda. Blacks dont have a history of suggesting concentration camp themed parties for their jewish employees, or having pro internment camp fantasies concerning asians.

Props to this woman for filling the lawsuit and props for coming out and clarifying after the horrible spin on this case by the media to make it just "OMG She said the N WORD at sometime and at some point"

Probably because everyone assumed that the accuser is black. I didn't know she was white.

The TS post summed it up pretty well.

 

[Dr. Acula]

Because it fits into the reactionary attitude a lot of people in this country have as it relates to political and social topics. "Oh those blacks again complaining about the n word again! They use it themselves!" instead of actually using mental energy and time for example to find out exactly what was going on with this case. Once people get riled up based on ignorance like that, fact does little to sway them to think otherwise.

Edit: Case and point, I just read the comments on that yahoo article . You know I hear a lot of people complain about the racism on yahoo but I would feel bad if these people were actually educated and intelligent. Their brand of racism and bigotry is so stupid and simple that I equate it with a child calling someone a poopy head because of a minor slight.

nbw always spitting the truth in these topics

 

[Insensitive]

I read the title of the article like

Then this is the first comment I read :

So we can sue when someone calls a white person a cracker??? DOUBLE STANDARD

For the record I knew the woman was white.
Most of the bigots who came out of the wood work to
support who they thought was a fellow racist being persecuted
at the hands of a "double standard" abusing negro were the ones caught
with their pants down.

honestly, because the white mindset is fukking retarded.

i guarantee Paula Deen stans are now talking about how this lady is a race traitor or some shyt and only said something because of "white guilt".

Good post



It's hilarious how the media spun this story into blaming blacks for being so sensitive about the N-word when it was really not based off of that.



But you know how it goes, when all else fails blame the black people
