I like fried chicken, potato salad, corn bread and WATERMELON, but I’m not black (I’ve never had collard greens that I can recall).

Am I breaking some rule?

"Is it racially insensitive to bring a watermelon into a fire house?"

In the South, it's not unexpected to bring Watermelon(Or fried chicken)to a picnic or cookout, one simply says "Thank you"

If you don't like watermelon, say "Thank you but no thank you" and head back over to the BBQ and get another serving.



But throw a Hissy Fit ?

Over fruit?

Gee, Northerners are so peculiar!

why do blacks have ownership of watermelons?...

and why do gays own the word "gay"...

I hope this guy sues to high heaven and wins...

Personally, I don’t consider Cheeto’s orange. More like a Nuclear Neon Salmon.

They were offended that a white guy was offered a job.

I am going to guess this is how the depart stays 90% black. They do this to the white guys.

So Firefighters prefer junk food donuts.
Remember that when then come running.

Back when I was young being liberal was suppose meant being open to other people and cultures, both personally and in business.

This crap will just shut those doors to minorities simply because one doesn’t know what will “trigger” the person and everyone gets tired of walking on eggshells around certain people.

This will backfire.... badly.

Yes, we are letting one minority influence far too many issues from watermelons as gift to being present in far too much advertizing.

Blacks or Negros comprise 13% (according to one source, 14% in another) of the US pop. They are influencing far too much from a tiny base.

I am very tired of it and of those who belong to the BlM. All of us with darker skins do not look alike and do not act alike and do not want this BS to continue.

Far better to look at the person and what they do, how they present themselves and how personally honorable they are than to make all blacks the pinnacle of everything.

The way to deal with this is do your Jo and go home.

He would have been better off just bringing nothing. That way he can’t be accused of anything. The longer I think about it I feel it’s better to just keep the cash in my pocket and give nothing. These days, I feel the world can get along without me. I’ll be lucky if it just leaves me alone.

ANTI-WHITE SUPREMACISTS

Did they wear the traditional Democrat attire, white sheets?
