Why should she have to apologize? She wasn’t being ugly about it and there are GENERALIZED differences in diets between ethnic groups in certain locales.

The local late-night radio sports show has a couple of black guys doing it - not the “articulate” blacks you see on prime-time ESPN or in the oval office.

They were interviewing a football player (black) that has a brother that plays too.

“Now my brother - he is a better cook when it comes to all of the black food - you know - the stereotypical stuff, fried chicken, ..... Soul Food. Me? I’m the better cook when it comes to the regular food, you know, Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas.”

I was tempted to text in that he was being racist.

Velmanette...sounds like a combination of Velma and Annette. Caucasians would name a child Velma Annette.
Blacks like to combine first names of family members when naming their children. And I believe that's how Velmanette got her name.

Why would a “white peoples supermarket” open in the area? I would think they did some market research and found out that there was demand for “white people’s food.”

Obviously, there is not enough demand for “black people’s food” in that area, since the present supermarket is closing.

Basic economics at work here.

Two of my favorites are:

Female (rhymes with Emily)
La-a (pronounced LaDasha)

She despises the Bread of the Elves.

As gollumn would say “spiff,” “spiff,” it hurts me and I cannot tolerate the presence of purity and life itself.

"white people don’t eat the way we do.”

This is called "PROFILING" P-R-O-F-I-L-I-N-G. The obamas have mastered this technique.

I think she was right. People eat differently than others. In the south the whites eat like the blacks. Soul food is another word for southern food or country cooking.

In New York I’m sure there are more blacks eating pig’s feet and collard greens than there are whites.

Yes. It took me awhile to get use to it - but pretty funny stuff.

I agree with most of your post, but of course things can be offensive if they’re not meant to be offensive.

I agree with you 100%. Nonetheless the comment is still ignorant because its a really simple issue of economics. Whatever a new store doesn’t carry will just mean business for another one who will carry the goods. The worry is over supply and demand which are after all elastic.

I bet you a dime to a dollar the Rev Al Sharpton cancelled his Oscar night protest because he NOT only wasn’t invited to the Oscar dinner but didn’t qualify for a doggie bag of leftovers.

The point is, I doubt he cared if it was offensive and it probably was given in the “f#cking white people” voice.

yeah but these people don’t see the Vive la difference as you and I do.

These people have been carrying chips on their shoulders for years and once elected or given a spotlight to voice their chip they will do so.

Obama has increased the size of the chip by playing the black community & then let’s others shoulder the burden because in his own twisted legacy of mind he’s the end all & be all yet he hasn’t done a da*n thing for blacks in the country he’s actually worked against them.

You might need an armed guard or black friend in non-white neighborhoods if you want these two:
