DailyMail- The ex-wife of a billionaire told a chef to cook her guests ‘black people food’ at her $2,000 a night ranch and horse sanctuary, court paper have revealed.
Madeleine Pickens, who recently divorced Texas oil tycoon T.Boone Pickens, is accused of telling former chef Armand Appling not to serve ‘white people food’ at her Mustang Wild Horse Eco-Resort in Nevada.
Appling claims he was fired in 2014 for complaining about working in a hostile work environment and has now filed a federal lawsuit accusing her of racial discrimination.
He accuses the wealthy philanthropist of telling him fried chicken, BBQ ribs and corn bread would be the perfect meal for the tourists who pay more than $2,000 per night to stay at the plush resort.
He says Pickens’ stereotypical references were commonplace at the Elko County ranch in Nevada, close to the border with Utah.
Appling, who is African American, also alleges that Pickens, who is white, instructed him to terminate two other black kitchen staffers — one she referred to as her ‘bull’ or ‘ox’ and another who had ‘too much personality.’
He says she told him they didn’t ‘look like people we have working at the country club’ and didn’t ‘fit the image’ of the staff she wanted at the ranch.

I know I’m not in the pantheon of wealth that these southern Oil Tycoon people are in but yo, if you gave me that type of money I’d be so down to drop 2 G’s on all that “black people food.” Don’t even know why this chef’s making it a big deal (probably because he was fired for the main reason of prejudice). If he’s suing because she wanted to cook up that good shit then the argument kinda falls apart. If they loved all that southern classic food then it’s almost like she can’t be a full blown racist; It’s actually probably a compliment. It’s 11:46 am right now and I’m grabbing lunch with my cousin at like 12:30 and all i can think about now is slaughtering chickens and pigs just so I can have some delicious ass fried chicken and fall off the bone ribs. I don’t know what the guest list was like at this little shindig but if the crowd looks like it’s all whites you can argue that she was trying to create the cultural bridge between the two with good food. Didn’t want some snobby escargot or some amuse bouche that does nothing to quell hunger. She said fuck it, we need that good shit, and on that basis, I can’t really find her guilty because i bet that shit tasted bomb as fuck.

p.s- I originally thought it said that she only served “black people food” to the black people in which, I would want to be a black person over a white guy cause, again, that shit sounds so good right now.
