Black History Month is a time to honor triumphs of African Americans throughout history, but students and parents at Nyack Middle School raised the alarm after a racially insensitive meal was offered on the first day of the month.
Yes, they left out the grits. I’m a white Southerner, and I like most all the “racially insensitive” foods, including fried chicken, waffles, and grits. Cooked by my white (plus 1/8 Cherokee) mother, aunts, cousins, and friends as I grew up. The Leftists are the race haters.
Lol! You even managed to get Greta in there. Lol!
Great idea! I think I’ll celebrate BLM tomorrow by having fried chicken and watermelon!!
It started out as the size of a dime...and grew and grew and grew. I was 75 and couldn't lift it...I rolled it into a cloth bag...and dragged it to the car....and hoisted it into the back seat. PHEW...
The next year, I grew miniature Cantalope. Perfect!!

😂👍🍉
I’ll have your potion, thanks.
I’ll bet they served those waffles with Land O’ Lakes butter and Aunt Jemima syrup in the original packaging too!
Oh, the poor victims.
Black people aren’t the only Americans who eat fried chicken or watermelons. I’ve eaten both my whole life. There’s a town called “Sandía” in south Texas. That word is the Spanish word for “watermelon.”
Bet they ate the fried chicken and watermelon anyway.
They just look for stuff to complain about as “insensitive”. It’s dumb.
we always got in trouble but it was worth it
In 1976, my battalion mess hall had Black Friday, they called it. When polled what they wanted for the evening meal the vast majority of blacks said fried chicken and watermelon. The preferred side dish was grits. So the mess hall fixed up some real good fried chicken and grits, and served slices of watermelon. We all enjoyed it! This was repeated quite a few times in the time I was there and the results were pretty consistent, although the side dishes changed to french fries a few times. I did hear some conversations about whether the choices were too stereotypical, but they were not from black soldiers.
It’s not “black food”...It’s “southern food”...It has been eaten in the south by everyone, black, white, red, brown...
Along with grits, it’s just southern food...
Tone deaf.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I suppose everything is in the eyes of the beholder. When I was a youngster growing up in South Texas, we ate pinto beans, corn bread, turnips, as well as mustard, turnip and collard greens, Lots of cabbage also. In the summertime we had lots of watermelon. If we had chicken it was usually grilled. My dad would go to the coop and grab a chicken a cut it’s head off. I love all of those things to this day.
The Marine Corps used to serve chitlins in the mess hall during February. Was that racist too? I was doing my month of mess duty in February 1975 and I walked by one of those huge vat kettles where they were being boiled just as the cook opened the lid. I was engulfed by the steam and almost puked my guts out it smelled so bad. Needless to say, I passed on eating them.
