Black History Month is a time to honor triumphs of African Americans throughout history, but students and parents at Nyack Middle School raised the alarm after a racially insensitive meal was offered on the first day of the month.

Honore Santiago's mother reassured her daughter, who is in the sixth grade, saying, "You should feel very happy that you spoke up."

Chicken and waffles are good. How can someone be offended?

Issue currently is black fragility not “white fragility” that Robin DiAngelo, Roland Martin, Van Jones, Lamont Hill etc... pimp and this is another example of it.

Give me White History month where I get served Waldorf Salad, Beef Wellington, and Grand Marnier Souffle on the first day of that month. I would not be offended at all, lol.

They should be grateful. There are starving people in Africa.

Just as with the word “gorilla” (or even “guerrilla”), when people consumed with race (i.e., Democrat/Communist racists) hear “fried chicken” — especially in conjunction with “watermelon” — they immediately think “black” … or, in the parlance of the Left “person of color” (i.e., “colored person”). Never fails.

Waffle House disagrees it’s big seller for them less the watermelon.

Watermelon served at school lunch in February? I taught school in an area maybe 20 miles from where watermelon is grown and it never appeared on the lunch menu.

Okay, I’m going to show them how to be racially insensitive AND racist all in one sentence.

“That’s sure one happy looking Sambo serving up those waffles and chicken for us white folks to enjoy. Hey Sambo, don’t forget the honeydew and watermelon for dessert.”

I can get downright mean and condescending when I want to. Some people really don’t want me to.

“Saint” Trayvon Martin drank Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail (NOT TEA) and his mom, when asked, what Trayvon’s favorite meal was, she said FRIED CHICKEN! All the Black folks laughed.

RACISS? R U KIDDING?

Black people like fried chicken and watermelon. I like fried chicken, watermelon, not so much.

Watermelon is native to Africa. Nothing like cold watermelon when it gets really hot. Except a cold beer.

Buy some lime juice and pour some over the watermelon

Is it racist that white farmers grow watermelons in the white state of Oregon?
Would it be cultural appropriation if a black butcher made a haggis? Why is it cultural appropriation for a white to run a Mexican restaurant but not a Thai restaurant to hire Mexican cooks?

All I know is I need to be offended about something, anything, all the time.

There aren't that many 'victims' in Nyack. It's 56.5% white, 14.3% white hispanic and 4.1 Asian for a total of 74.9%
