Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu
If not the stereotypical items, what would one acknowledge for a historical "Black," "Indian," or "Irish" week? I know, Kwanza, invented in Buffalo, not so long ago. Maybe some nice spears, but then they were not all Masai. Heavens to Murgatroyd, ain't it complicated. Or not.

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?

Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu
It's okay to joke about Germans and sauerkraut, but if we mention black cultural foods which happens to be true.....bad stuff. Are we going to argue that this isn't part of black culture in the US? What's wrong with those foods anyway? I grew up in Virginia, and like them all. I have a deep German heritage, and I like sauerkraut. People go to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg and get sauerkraut on the German part of the park................have we seen Germans riot over it? No, not since the park opened.
The offended people need STFU!

So what could the cafeteria serve that wouldn't offend anyone, yet recognize the spirit of the "event"?

Re: Calif. school apologizes for black history lunch menu
Haha, I'm not sure how people fall into these little predicaments.
It goes against every grain of common sense.
Obviously spaghetti.
On a serious note, not aligning the food with the festivities would have been a better idea.
Southern food is fantastic, don't hate.
