Gee I got a Black History Month special last week. It was fried chicken, the restaurant is in a black neigborhood, and I am black. Was I offended? As much as I like fried chicken how could I be? Also, I gladly eat it in public and I don't care who sees me.

The same is true for eating watermelon. Once I was at a beach party, started eating some watermelon along with others and the only other black in our group said to me "Don't you know they all think we eat that?" I said "Yeah, and now they know for sure that I do- so what?"

Whoever would hassle this store over this has too much time on their hands.

Too much time on their hands... That's what Neal Boortz said. Royal disagreed.

The truth is that my family (from the south) eats as much greens, cornbread and watermelon as any black folks. It's good food. I wish people would relax and just enjoy life. As evidenced by some freepers who've passed away suddenly, you never know how much longer you have.

Mafree, I've seen you post for a long time. I have a lot of respect for you and wish you the best.

Freeper Regards, CACTMH
