Ancestry/Genealogy

She acted like she'd never heard of slavery (quick - you find out that your ancestor is a "Planter" with $36,000 in property on the 1850 census in Georgia - what do you think most of the wealth on the plantation is? She had to have it explained to her and then acted shocked) and cried when she found out that one of her ancestors' son was killed in the Civil War... I didn't want to be annoyed, because I know a lot of that stuff is emotional (it was touching when Lisa Kudrow stood near her ancestors grave in Kiev.. it was annoying when Paula Deen acted like these people would still be alive if it was for their early deaths... it was like 150 years ago!!)

I don't like her much either because I think she could be a better spokesperson for people with Diabetes and I feel that she just reinforced the stereotype that all people with Type 2 Diabetes are over eaters with no self-control - I have Type 2 Diabetes and I'm 155 lbs - 5' 11"... so on the low end of my perfect weight range, but I get crap all the time because people act like I'm Paula Deen and "I don't look like I have Diabetes".

But I watched the show anyway because I like Genealogy...but it was just annoying and not fun.
