I'm not sure what point it is you're trying to make, Jimbone.
Somehow Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who didn't exploit the situation and have nothing to do with business decisions to fire Deen for past remarks (and how poorly she handled initial reaction), are responsible? They should arrange public protests or should feel some obligation to work towards helping Deen to re-establish her career? I'm not following the logic.
You (or anyone else who feels so strongly) could arrange a rally, march or boycott the fact that she was fired by primarily white business leaders and rejected by a largely white consumer base.
Freedom of speech, expression and public assembly are at your disposal (and can help to affect change, IMO).
