So, are the African-Americans who run soul food restaurants serving that same food also racists?
For the record, I really like collard greens done right.
It is sometimes called Southern fare... which by happenstance is soul food. Good ‘ol greens, grits, rice, pig meat, yardbird, watermelon, the works.
This complaint is stupid.

Nothing wrong with ribs and collared greens.

Fact is, Black History Month is racist.

We were shocked to learn of the drink and food choices that our food service provider Aramark offered at the Weinstein dining hall, the statement read.I wonder if they ever serve ham at the Weinstein dining hall?

My mouth waters for watermelon, it always has and it always will. There’s no political correctness that will keep me from watermelon. They will have to pry my cold dead lips away from my watermelon.

What if you happen to like fried chicken, collard greens, potatoe salad and watermelon?

My favorite cartoon in National Lampoon showed a black share-cropper standing out in front of his shanty. He’s in a small watermelon patch, holding a watermelon in his hands. The watermelon is saying, “Let my people go.”

Many years ago, when someone suggested serving “soul food” at an African-American booth during a multi-ethnic celebration, I heard the brilliant, elegant, and profoundly intelligent W. W. Law remark: “Africa has given the world far more sophisticated cuisine than ‘soul food.’”

If they had served Chicken Teriyaki or Moo Shu Pork for Black History month, that would have been construed as an insensitive failure to recognize their historical culture and cuisine in the US.
There always has to be something to complain about. Until people quit pandering and apologizing, it will never change and we will never get along as plain human beings.
(This doesn’t happen ‘on the street’: I work with mostly AA folks - if we didn’t have fried chicken, watermelon, greens at a Summer party, the peeps of every hue would be Pissed!)
