Gotta hand it to the racist politicians, they sure got a way with words, don't they? And this one actually apologized, even though she would've gotten a free pass. Hey, maybe she knows of a good Soul Food joint around Tampa?

Actually, why apologize? It was his opinion. It wasn’t offensive if it wasn’t meant to be offensive.
People have to stop walking on eggshells. Be nice, be respectful, but your opinion is your opinion.

Granted, if a Republican had made the same statement, there would have been all kinds of fake outrage. And I guess that is my point. Enough with the fake outrage.

and then they get away with a half arse "apology" and that's that....
if a white said it, they would have to apologize, apologize again, and offer restitution and then resign from whatever job they held...

Supermarkets are an important part of the community. Its an important amenity, especially for black and brown communities, Yeah. On the flip side us White folk especially need sidewalks, more so than other races because...........whhhhha?
And I'm sorry her name is Velmanette? Did her mom want her to grow up to be Empress of Prussia or something?

Looks like several options:
http://www.google.com/#q=tampa+soul+food+restaurants
My favorite grocery store here in Alabama is a little place that was built in 1955 and always has the right supplies for making soul food. Inexpensive cuts of pork — neck bones, hocks, feet — turkey necks, bins with fresh greens when they’re in season, and nothing boutique whatsoever. The mix of shoppers is about 50/50 black and white and it is convivial.
To: Impala64ssa
So she should open her own grocery there. Obviously the one that stocks merchandise for “black and brown” customers guessed wrongly as to what the local market wants.

I thought a Velmanette was a place you went to get your Velma laundered.

But it is true!!! White folks don't eat hog jowls, chitin's, and a whole host of “black ethnic foods” as evidenced by the preponderance of overweight black people. If it doesn't include pork, it's not in their diet. BTW, if you want good barbecue, you need to find a joint run by black folks. Here in NorCal, to get good soul food, you need an armed guard or a black friend because the best places are not in "white neighborhoods."
To: Impala64ssa
Yeah, well that’s why they call it ethnic food. Jeez. Chill out.

That's it. It's the hypocrisy of it all. In a way it's like the recent Geico ads with Salt n Peppa (Push it real good!) It wasn't the way the Whites in that ad were portrayed as "unhip" and "dopey". That was OK. When Richard Pryor or Redd Foxx made fun of Whites, like they did just about every other group, I'd be LOL. We can only make fun of straight White guys, everyone else is off limits, it's the double standard that's repulsive.
