Call me out of step, but it has really never occurred to me to make a social or political statement with a cake.

Is this what Malcolm X meant with “...by any means necessary?”

In the new era, everything is a social or political statement. A cake for a Christening celebration is a Statement. A cake for a wedding or baby shower. A cake for graduation or joining the military.

I once had a giant cookie decorated to celebrate the completion of the Tiger Cub rank by the group of boys I was leading. Someone could have taken offense! Another time I got cakes for an event at a religious foundation. An atheist (or Moslem) Sam’s Club employee might have objected to writing “Missionaries of the Poor” in icing.
