CONCORD (CBS SF) – Officials at an East Bay private school are apologizing after a controversial lunch menu option to celebrate Black History Month. Students at Carondelet High School for Girls in Concord wanted to come up with ways to observe the occasion during a lunchtime celebration Friday. But when the school announced a menu of fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon, other students and parents became offended...

I love those foods too; so I guess that also makes me a racist.
Is “Four Fried Chickens and a Coke” on the menu?
Probably the best menu that school ever saw.
I was going to serve Spanish Rice.
Can you imagine them adding a BREAKFAST of both Aunt Jemima pancakes and Uncle Ben’s grits? They would have had to fly in Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to deal with the outcry.
Only in San Francisco would people get offended by a menu like that. Fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon = heaven.
Simple way to fix this. DON’T KOW TOW TO THE BLACKS! No matter what you do you will offend them so don’t even try to appease them.
Continue to serve the Mystery Meat meals as usual. When THEY whine, say that you DON’T want to offend them! They will still be offended by it.
If they cry “REICIS”, tell them to bring their own lunch if they don’t like what is served!
Fried Chicken was Sunday Dinner food that was eaten everywhere; from the big house on the hill to the shotgun cabins.
On my FB, every time somebody posts a “knockout game” article, FB throws up ‘recommended links” to black history month underneath the post.
Seriously.
:)
Does that mean corned beef and cabbage is racist for St. Paddy’s? Aw, man!
This was a no-win situation. If they serve up the fried chicken, corn bread and watermelon, it’s racist, if they don’t serve up anything special, well that is racist too for “dissing” and not honoring black history month.
Time to tell these perpetually offended non-whites (they’re not minorities in California, whites are) to “shove-it”
(great handle, BTW).
WHO?? In California, Columbus Day has been eliminated, replaced by "Native American Day" or MLK Day or Cesar Chavez Day -- forgot which because so many traditional holidays are being either downgraded or outright replaced. Christmas Vacation = Winter Break Lincoln's, Washington's B'days = one day generic President's Day Easter Vacation = Spring Break Columbus Day = eliminated entirely Independence Day = 4th of July, nothing special ever happened that day just fireworks and picnics to celebrate summer. Thanksgiving Day = Native American grievance Day.
Can’t have a “Paddy Wagon” in California any longer b/c it refers to drunken Irish, had to be renamed to honor PC.
You bet!
You gotta be kidding me. Now food is offensive?
They left out chitlins’.
You just gave them another reason to be offended.
"I just want to say that February is Black History Month. Isn't that nice? The Man gives us February because it's the shortest month of the year! Now, I'm not complaining, but I think we deserve at least a thirty-day month. It's also the coldest month of the year, just in case we wanted to have a parade."
