"A federal judge Monday threw out race discrimination claims by a former Savannah restaurant manager whose lawsuit against Paula Deen has already cost the celebrity cook a valuable chunk of her culinary empire."

After she's already been publicly humiliated...

It doesn't mean that Paula didn't discriminate. It means that a white woman can't sue for damages due to alleged racial discrimination.

That's why it was thrown out.

She outright admitted to saying what she said.

I guess there's just not enough to actually take the case to trial.

Not this particular law suit, no.

The person filing the suit wasn't "wronged." But if the African American workers would come forward and sue, either collectively in a class action or individually, they might have a case.

But if your neighbor or coworker was robbed, you would be able to press charges on their behalf either.

I always thought that part of it was weird anyway.

Still, I have seen a lot of buzz tonight about how Paula Deen wasn't guilty of discrimination, and this is all so terrible. See? She's innocent!!!

No, it just means the case got thrown out because the wrong person sued. Her sworn testimony is what got Paula Deen in trouble. Plus the long list of "alleged" injustices toward the African American staff.

Still, the entire wrongful termination case wasn't thrown out. Just the racial charges.

It has nothing to do with evidence but only about a white person not being able to sue for racism against blacks.

All the issues about the sexist & hostile work environment and sexual harrassment are things that are going forth in this case.

Rumors say that African American employees plan to pick up the racial charges....but we'll see.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I, as a white person, would be terribly uncomfortable working for someone who is so quick to use the N word. I don't see why she can't sue...

If the charges were/are indeed true, I really hope the African Americans sue. If they are false, then not only shouldn't they sue, but Deen and her brother should countersue Jackson for defamation of character. And they would win (and potentially clear their names).

But if they ARE true, and the African Americans don't pick up the ball, they are doing themselves and the entire cause of racial equality a huge injustice. Still, I know what fear of losing one's job can do to a person. This would be a bad time to be silent, though.

Thats where the hostile work environment comes in. (Methinks.)

She can't sue for a racial injustice, because the N Word doesn't apply to white people, and she's white. But as dramamama611 says, she still has a case for a "hostile work environment" among other charges (the porno, etc.) in her wrongful termination suit.

according to BestBar it does at least for racism, and hes alot more credible then you.

Once again, (and again and again), this isn't just about the N-word! There is a whole list (no, seriously READ IT) of alleged racial issues in the workplace owned by Paula and her brother. It's not just name calling.

The problem is that if you're white, this list of injustices doesn't apply to you. You didn't have to use a separate "colored" entrance, and nobody called you the N-word, or suggested you dress as a house slave for a party.

Paula's career took a plunge because she (allegedly) did these things.

Jackson's race-based charges against Deen were dropped because Deen didn't do them to Jackson.

It's now up to the people who were the actual victims of these racial crimes to come forward and file a claim against her. If they don't, IMO, they are only contributing to the problem.

Only the racism charge was tossed out (on standing). The sexual harassment charge is still valid for litigation.

The winner of the current Next Food Network Star program was announced on Sunday. It was a young woman from Kentucky. Her show will be all about Southern cooking. So it seems that Food Network has already filled the void and moved on.

seriously headband? you have no idea why slurs are bad, if youre not the object of that slur? you have no idea or are you just playing dumb?

so according to you, you
1) see nothing wrong with Mel Gibson calling that cop bad words for Jews even though she wasnt Jewish?
2)If your boss called you a N even though youre white you would be OK with that?
3)If my boss called me a F*g even though Im straight, that would be OK?

you may want to rethink that

There are so many people in this world who need to do the most basic work to understand systemic racism and white privilege. Because they always resort to the "it's exactly the same" refrain in instances where it's not the same at all.

It's tough to answer those questions with a straight face when you deserve it. I can only pray those are the labels you are branded with. Couldn't happen to a nastier troll.

Is it true that people are no longer taught critical thinking skills and never learn of power dynamics and the privilege enjoyed by the majority culture and therefore think everyone is on the same level playing field? These are the white people who live unexamined lives, have never considered their complicity in systemic racism and who say "I'm not racist" because they have never taken a moral inventory of themselves and never will.
