"N*%#@R'S STILL DEAD."

This reportedly is what Cooking Channel Southern chef and host Paula Deen said when asked to comment on the death of Sopranos' actor James Gandolfini. With George Zimmerman on trial in Florida and Deen being Nationally vilified for admitting to using the N-word in a deposition, it's a week for race. When asked by a plaintiff's lawyer if she ever used the offending word, Deen answered "Of course...." The woman bringing the suit  alleges sexual and racial harassment in the restaurant Deen ran with her brother "Bubba". Would you rather she lied? The only thing worse than this old "neck" being given her own TV show, is the way the entire media-nation of hypocrites is calling for her head. Excuse me, does anyone really think that a 65 year old white woman from the deep south never uttered the N-word? Or for that matter, do you think those yentas on The Klatch don't talk trash when the cameras are off? Nigger please.....

    We live in a racist country. The most hardcore racist individuals I ever met live in small towns in the North. Lets not forget that neighborhood vigilante George Zimmerman was allowed to go home with his smoking gun in his pocket, after killing a young unarmed Black man. All he had to do was claim self-defense. As that poor kid lay there dead on the sidewalk, the cops literally handed back George's gun and let him go. OK, he doesn't have a cooking show.....yet, but outside a few soundbites, the media isn't even covering the trial. And that brings me to, as Paula would put it, "That fat n%$*^#r Tony Soprano."
    I loved The Sopranos, but goddamn, this is Gandolfini not Gandhi. Dying of a heart attack in Italy has allowed the world plenty of time to eulogize the "great man". NBC news had a five minute segment worthy of any head of state. Attention whore Dr. Oz blamed his weight. Really? I'm sure he was a nice guy, but when a rich, fat actor dies of a heart attack, does it warrant a national day of mourning? St. John's Cathedral is being prepared for his funeral and I'm sure every Italian flag in every Rod and Gun Club storefront in Little Italy is flying at half mast. Treyvon Martin?  Who's that?
