For some reason, I always see blacks getting orange drinks from soda machines. I will never, ever bring orange drinks to a fire station!

Then I guess greens, chitterlings, and hush puppies are flat out.

Your comment about Blacks getting orange drinks actually can be considered offensive and racist to the ultra sensitive. You see President Donald J. Trump’s hair color is orange and his detractors refer to him as Cheetos or something else orange in a derogatory manner.

True story: many years ago, someone in the office where I was working decided to make a "milkshake run" during a particularly tiresome day. The "someone" happened to be a black woman. When she came to ask me what flavor, I said "vanilla", because that just so happened to be the milkshake flavor I like. She just about fell on the floor laughing. "What's a white girl like you doin', drinkin' a VANILLA milkshake?!" she hooted. I was dumbfounded. But, apparently -- as I learned that day -- black people drink vanilla, white people drink chocolate. And THAT'S the way it is.

I remember it as a "teachable moment" in my life, but maybe not for the reasons she thinks. /sarc

p.s. we can only imagine if the tables were turned and I was the one laughing at a black co-worker who had the audacity to choose a chocolate milkshake.

It may have come from a routine on the old Keenan and Kel show. It was one of our lovely daughter's favorite shows when she was growing up. It was a pretty funny

When I worked at McD’s many decades ago, when the blacks came in they virtually always ordered either orange drink or strawberry milkshakes and either fish sandwiches or cheeseburgers.

If we were low on those we’d start a fresh batch when a carful of blacks pulled in the lot.
