She was whining about a non-problem that is all in her head

Way back in the 80's 5 of us from NC had to do a job in Queens at a pasta factory. First day for lunch we wondered down the screet and found a l'il hole-in-the-wall restaurant with this black lady behind the counter. As soon as we spoke her face lit up. She was from Salisbury and very happy to "hear from home". She fed us royally for the whole week. When I was a l'il juvenile delinquent the black lady at the detention center was a welcome sight. At Ft Bragg I used to love goin to "The Sundowner" for some serious soul food.

Yup, I reckon you could say I'm a "creepy-azz cracka" the way I've followed black folk around. Those folks that turn around-n-leave means an open seat fer me. Hehehe. d:^)

Perhaps. But she didn’t stew in it building up a head of self-righteous steam. She faced it head on. That scores some points in my book.

YMMV

You’ve had a Liberian dish? What the heck is “Liberian” cuisine?

"come in. I don’t bite!"
Does she spit?


Only in the food.

Beats me. This one dish I had looked a little like fried rice in that it was a bunch of stuff mixed with rice on a plate. Only it wasn't fried. It was slimy, glutinous, oddly spiced, had recognizable bits of snail, thumb sized whole crab, unidentifiable more-or-less meat-like bits, and was not particularity pleasing to my palate.

Well . . . In this case, probably not, but . . .
That is the defining issue.

I’ve had occasion to try Ethiopian, Caribbean, and “soul food.” Loved them all!

'I am a black woman. If you are allergic to black people, don't come in': Yorkshire cafe owner warns potential customers she 'doesn't bite' after previous bad reactions.I lived in the UK for several years and this is pure bull sh-t.

In relationship to Texas Barbecue joints owned by black owners you are 101% right. They serve up some of the best that you can get and the patrons are black and white. The patrons of those Barbecue joints buy because it is good.

Never had African food, but I love Caribbean food. That was one of the bonuses of moving to South Florida, some kick butt Jerk Chicken and pumpkin rice!

Had a similar experience in DC area. Went into a ‘soul food’ restaurant. Being from Georgia, I told the woman that we didn’t call it ‘soul food’, we called it ‘supper.’ She got tickled over that, LOL.

Remember Britain and England are not the same.

So you’d be boycotting Scottish, N Irish and Welsh food. All of whom make and produce wonderful food. And to be honest, English food (and I say this as a Scot) isn’t as bad as myth makes it out to be.

That sign would make me nervous. She might spit in Whitey’s food, but she don’t bite.
