Ruth Wilson, chair of the African-American Studies Department at San Jose State University, said the food isn't offensive, per se in fact, fried chicken is an American mainstay, thanks in large part to Kentucky Fried Chicken's Colonel Sanders. The reason this particular meal sparks bad feelings, she said, is because blackface-era cartoons and plays showed African-Americans eating these foods in ugly caricature depictions. Yeah, well Nazi's ate Bratwurst, Kartoffelsalat, Sauerbraten, Stollen, Pfefferpotthast and Lager, and if you think I'm giving those up or denying where they came from you're crazy, you fantastically offensive, divisive, insulting, stupid, racist b***h.

Cas Walker please pick up the white phone. A local East Tennessee grocer many years ago. His YV commercials back then would start a national incident now LOL.

So if there are any black students at that school, and they were asked to come up with a menu for Black History month, how much would anyone want to bet they’d come up with the SAME FOODS? But then it would be OK, because the black kids thought of it themselves, and wouldn’t be a stereotype, at all!

I love fried chicken and watermelons. I could eat watermelons every day in the summer. Nothing else is better. I grew up in MS where we had our own chickens beef and pork. In the summer, we grew both red and yellow watermelons, and cantaloupes. Everyone I knew ate the same things. I remember one summer,something happened to our watermelons. My dad had a friend who had more than he could use so we would go there and buy from him. I even remember the price-—4 for a dollar. What a deal! I do not understand why there are not more yellw ones. They are sweeter than the red.

Every time I see nonsense like this, I think of my brother-in-law Chuck, who is black, remarking plaintively at a picnic, “You know, the thing is, I really like fried chicken and watermelon!”
And yes, I was delighted when “one married my sister”. Best guy she ever knew.

Doesn’t this school realize there is a right not to be offended? Especially offending those that live to be offended is most egregious.

I am so grateful to Colonel Sanders. I would never have had fried chicken if it wasn’t for him.
Where do these writers come from?

I have a great idea. How about we stop having any so-called history month relating to some special group or another? How come we don’t have American History month?

Blacks have been leaving California for the South, esp. Texas for years.

Are blacks offended, or being told to be offended by a Race Baiter?
I doubt most blacks would even give a hoot and would want to be there.
