You are free to start your own thread, not to hijack someone else’s just because you like music.

Perhaps Dr. King’s memory would have been better served had Ms. Halliday used her (apparently considerable) extra time and energy to concentrate on his message and not on the school lunch menu.

How much would you like to bet that if roast beef and mashed potatoes had been served, this same school would’ve been accused of insulting the memory of MLK by serving white “cracker” food?

This racial sensitivity crap has really jumped the shark!

Denver Public School officials are apologizing after a parent complained that a school lunch meant to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was stereotypical and offensive, reported KMGH-TV.

The lunch, planned for Friday, was to include southern-style chicken, collard greens and a biscuit in honor of King.

I'll bet brother King would have liked that lunch. I, as a white guy raised Southern would have sure enjoyed it. Are we supposed to have sushi or Mexican food on MLK's birthday?

What’s the big deal. The US Naval Academy did the same thing a couple of years ago.

LOL You ever make it to the states, drop by eastern nc. I’ll fix you all the fried chicken and collards you want. Even throw in some home made biscuits and mashed taters. If you don’t like that, we could try some fried shrimp with hushpuppies and cole slaw and spoonbread. If you don’t like that... LOL again

Some people! Sheesh!

Why do so many Blacks like fried chicken? Because its good! Only a stupid Yankee would think a dish is racist. Same goes for watermelon. It aint about food—its about freedom—and that includes eating what you want.
