Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu[W:250]

Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

That's got to be the funniest thing I've read in quite some time. Watermelon, corn bread, and fried chicken to celebrate black history! I wonder what nimrod thought that would be a good idea?

I know, any southerner knows you have Biscuits with Watermelon and Fried Chicken..
 
Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

Ive heard both black comedians and just regular old friends and civilians make the same lament...I hate getting pissed about the joke about fried chicken and watermelon because I LOVE fried chicken and watermelon....

They are tasty. It just floors me that nobody looked at that and said "Wait a minute...."
 
Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

Europeans were going to record it the way they recorded it. That's one thing. We don't have to keep teaching it the way people across the ocean thought of it 500 years ago.

Why not? The history of Christopher Columbus doesn't exclude the Indians, so what is inaccurate about the factual history?

I understand there are many who are plagued with guilt related to the Indians, and have a need to place halo's around their history and culture, so the pushback is required, but the dtory of of Columbus is rather simple, and rather important.
 
Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

Yep, it's all the left's fault...

It is. It's criminal how the left treats the black community.

They make up a mere 12 percent of the U.S. population, yet they are 70 percent of the prison population. They are the most unemployed, the least educated, the most dysfunctional within their communities, and the most broken in their family structures. You don't see these epidemic problems in the Hispanic, Asian, Indian, Middle Easterm, etc, communities.

Years of condescension and abuse from entitlements and pandering from the left has incapacitated much of the black community, and they are literally taught from a young age to associate anything negative in their lives with racism. They believe white America sits around in private rooms devising ways to make their lives as miserable and hopeless as possible.

And there is a faction of conservative black America that has escaped the liberal vortex that wants so badly to help, but the media and left give them no voice, and ridicule them to no end.

That's your party. That is all there is to your party. It's shameful.

How else would you suggest they treat black America and keep them as 95% Democratic voting block then?
 
Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

Maybe people who aren't so focused on skin color and race might not think about skin color and race when they plan a menu of common foods that almost everybody enjoys? Would you believe that fried chicken and cornbread are staples and frequently served in my household and watermelon is one of my very favorite summer things. And I never once--at least up until now--associated them with black people.

And now I am feeling resentful that our well intended but racist people are requiring me to associate a race with foods that I just considered good food and would serve to everybody without a second thought.

You may be the only person who hasn't thought of the black people, fried chicken connection or heard of it. Geez, in China they've even got "Obama Fried Chicken" restaurants. Seriously, google it. The pictures in this thread aren't something we just made up now off the top of our heads.

The real problem: "Booo Hooo, why don't they vote Republican? Waaaaaaah! We lost because they all voted for Obama...."

My party? I was unaware of how the Independence Party of Minnesota treated people.


BTW folks, here's some personal responsibility for you - "It's all their fault!"

We're not Europeans, and it's not 1503 anymore. We don't have to teach history from that perspective. Should we include how Columbus treated the natives, or is that just liberal revisionism too?

Fair enough, then I take back the "your".

THAT party. Not yours.

The real problem as you so blatantly attempted and failed to bait me, is Democrats need the african american urban community to be badly educated, misinformed, mislead and continually fed racist views to keep them poor and out of work. By doing so, a constant voter block generation after generation keep programs like welfare, HUD, food stamps, etc. afloat and as we've seen in the past 5 years, grown in popularity. Congratulations!! If they were provided decent education and opportunity they wouldn't need your welfare and you'd lose a good portion of votes - that's why you answer with weak sauce bait.
 
Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

I wonder what would have been an acceptable meal.

Yeah, Dems pander to their constituencies the same way Republicans pander to the Christian Fundies. Congratulations on figuring out national politics. Next you'll be telling us that money is important.

Honestly, I don't think Columbus is treated with much affinity or royalty by any means. Most know of his motivations, and that, in fact, he didn't exactly even land here. He pulled up to an island like a big Carnival cruiseliner, then left.

Likewise, he wasn't the first. He was just the one who introduced modern Europe to America, which led to the migration of people here.

I know we're all sick of revison.

This is why I believe in a 50-state constitutional convention under a National umbrella.

I'd call it another form of slavery, not pandering. You apparently don't know what pandering entails. What... no more weak sauce?
 
Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu

Why do we need a "meal" for it in the first place?

As I said, peanut butter sandwiches would honor George Washington Carver, which would be a good way to celebrate the contributions of black people to our society, don't you think?

But one draws campaign funding, while the other exploits and demoralizes an entire race within America.

Apparently the weak sauce is your job at this point.

And send a goodly portion of the kids into anaphylactic shock and the emergency room due to peanut allergies. Great idea!

And as such, he's an important historical figure. But we don't need to teach it that he "found" America which was devoid of human contact before he came along.

Wait, I thought the peanut allergy thing was a liberal story invented to ruin us all....figure out which side you're on here.
