So I guess whites can't sue other whites for racial discrimination? #pauladeen

On Monday, a federal judge dismissed the racial discrimination claims against celebrity chef Paula Deen made by a former employee. Other claims in the suit, including allegations of sexual harassment, are still pending.

The plaintiff, Lisa Jackson, worked for five years as general manager of Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House, a restaurant in Savananah, Ga., that Deen co-owns with her brother Bubba Hiers. In a lawsuit filed last year, Jackson alleged that during her time at Uncle Bubba’s she was routinely subjected to an abusive work environment full of sexual impropriety, boorish behavior, and racist remarks. Earlier this summer, revelations from the lawsuit—particularly Deen’s admission in a deposition that she had previously used a racial epithet—touched off a storm of public anger against Deen, resulting in the sudden collapse of much of her national branding business and the cancelation of her shows on the Food Network.

On Monday, the judge in the case ruled that Jackson, who is white, has no standing to sue her former employer for racial discrimination. ”We are pleased with the court’s ruling today,” a publicist for Deen said in a statement sent to the Associated Press.

I think it's because the courts are there to repair "damages". Since this woman was white it was impossible for her to have been racially discriminated and therefor the court really didn't have anything to "fix" in regards to "damages" caused by the discrimination. Deen also probably had a badass lawyer.

technically this shyt is incorrect. idk if military rules are different, but some lil bish who was under me- came to me about a guy she wanted to file against for sexual harassment - she got that nikka in trouble. He said something slick to someone else... and this girl said it offended her.

I actually was hit w a article 15, for saying nikka in a rhyme we produced... some mexican chick reported it and they came down on me hard af. i didn't snitch on the other 2 dudes on the track either and in the military not snitching means - hammer time on ur ass.

anyway, if something goes against ur right to not be offended in the work place and if something is repeatedly done that offends u that is sexual, racial, sexist, religious discrimination, etc then u can report it because it's creating a hostile work environment for you..... can cause u to feel like quitting or feel stress, can affect ur sleep - and a million other reasons people come up with. You can sue on all those grounds evolving workplace harassment and hostile work environment. This white lady was a manager - maybe she was close w those staff members that she had to hear being called porch Monkeys everyday .



i think she had a case... even though if i was the judge i would have laughed that shyt off as well. I would be like :stopitslime: you were soooo stressed over that shyt?? :leostare:

I would sue for hardship just on the basis of sexual impropriety at the hands of Paula Deen. Imagine her hitting on you everyday? :heh: I'd be sick to my stomach daily just at the thought of her naked ass.

But she was suing deen on BEHALF of black co-workers.

Either way, its a pretty fukked up interpretation of the law.

All your god can do is make threats. Nothing of value comes out of this god of yours.

I hope you chose the right god to pray to.
There is only one true God, Allah. The hellfire is waiting for the disbelievers. Trust me it's real. God is Omnipotent. Be thankful to God that your being kept alive by him to say this blasphemy.
