Cue the troll "I could not care less about Pioneer Woman" response. |
Nope. There are at least two of us who have given the "PE super fan response." OMG. LOL. |
| I've never seen this woman on TV but I stumbled upon her sour cream pancake recipe once and we love it in my house! Kids ask for it every weekend. |
So what is your point ? That man is 50 something he came up in a time when society and probably his family used the term mentally retarded. Mental retardation is a real condition. We have since learned better ways to refer to people with that condition. We have terms that have not been turned into pejorative , an insult. We have terms that don't focus on what some may view as a handicap. If she used the term, realized that was not the way to go, and corrected it by re- writing, good for her. And don't try to say it is the same as calling a black person a nigger. That word was never used to describe a medical condition, it was always intended as an insult!!! |
How do you know that that's what happened? Would you acknowledge that perhaps her PR firm made her change the offensive language? |
What a sanctimonious know-it-all. Ree Drummond and her brother Mike are 18 months apart. Ree's 44. Okay 44 years +/- 18 months does not equal 50. http://www.r-word.org/ |
They may have pointed it out and it got changed... The exact chain of events I have no idea. |
H 44,45,50 same age range... U get the point! |
Apparently U don't. Ree wrote that post in 2007 long after it was deemed inappropriate and politically incorrect to use the R-word. But go ahead and pat yourself on the back for defending an Internet fraud. |
OMG! You are crazy!!!!!!!! Certifiable crazy!!! |

| Seriously, we should all stop with the back-and-forth and agree on one point: Her show is just another example of the trash train TV networks are engineering and conducting. Pick a channel - Animal Planet, TLC, A&E, History, nothing but crap. Food Network is just running with the pack. Here's another point that will be subject to much disagreement: Ree Drummond and her family are firmly entrenched in the plutocracy that is controlling the country. They can buy whatever they want - including influence and image - while the empty, ignorant masses worship at their feet. |
We all did stop with the back and forth. Three months ago. |
| What a great read! Lol. |
