LOLOLOLOLOL! Glad to see the video has been updated. Sadly, the systemic offenders wouldn’t get it. Just about blew soda pop out of my nose. You should be proud.

Bet they haven’t cancelled billeee eyelash for her insensitive tiktok video from days past. Because she put out a statement saying “that’s not who I am...” Sure it ain’t.

If they had offered food items commonly associated with white people - say spaghetti, quiche, Waldorf salad, and yogurt, wouldn’t that also be called insensitive and racist? And didn’t they spell “potatoe” the same way that Dan Quayle spelled it, and was mocked for?

Menus have everything to do with this federaldayoff. Sauers kicking in, it’s hot and salt trade down in Atlanta in a lot of feeling cooking down in Atlanta, I don’t really see the problem here.

I’m looking at this thinkin’ “that’s southern cooking.” I spent a lot of time growing up on bases in the south, everybody eats that way.

The old Maine Ave fish market in DC served it up, and chowders too and it was all southern downhome cooking. It was good too!

Maybe “Turkey’s” would have been symbolic...

I like watermelon after mowing the grass on a hot afternoon.

Okay. You should take pleasure in almost making me spew soda out of my nostrils. Better? :-}

Did the menu items sell?

I used to shop at IKEA in Atlanta, I went for the $3.99 Swedish meatball plate, I never noticed many African Americans shopping or eating there.

Exactly. And where’s the cultural misappropriation outrage over IKEA serving Swedish meatballs on its regular menu? But for double standards, the leftist woke wacko mob would have no standards at all.

I call BS on NPR.

Fried chicken was NEVER a popular slave food. It doesn’t even come up. Okra, potatoes, and corn meal were a staple.

Watermelon and black-eyed peas came over from the slave trade and were popular on colonial dinner tables for whites and blacks by 1775. So it wasn’t exclusive.

Thay are popular with everyone in the south in summer.

I thought they serve Swedish food. Does anyone actually eat those rancid meatballs?
