I knew I could count on someone to come up with the menu ,,,,,,,,,
. . . I love it ,,,, and I’m not offended in the least .
Reverends Sharpton and Jackson and the other race baiters paraphrasing Tetzel....”for the coin in the coffer to ring from me does the specter of racism spring...”
In CA, Roscoe’s is the best.
In TX, gotta be Waffle House.
Not only is February, Black History Month, the SHORTEST month, but is is also the COLDEST (just in case we wanted to have a parade!).
With apologies to Chris Rock.
That’s not ‘Black’ food, that’s good old Southern “Comfort” food! Maybe Yankees just don’t understand that.
I am so sick of hearing complaints from the perpetually aggrieved blacks. What is it that makes them complain all the time?
Imagine complaining about corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s Day. Or green bagels and beer.
On the one hand, neither would be offended by Indian or Korean cuisine being offered in recognition of a day or event important to their culture; but both were also quick to point out that there was no big American tradition of making fun of them for what they eat, no cartoons with exaggerated racial features about to dig in to Fried Chicken and Watermelon or whatever, etc, etc.
I was telling a Black coworker that the cultural rule in my family is “Alpha monkey gets the remote control”. He immediately changed the formulation to “Alpha dog”. “Monkey” has racial overtones because of the history of people calling Blacks that; “dog” doesn't.
A black teacher can walk into a classroom of black children acting up and say “You are acting like a bunch of monkeys”, but probably wouldn't. A white teacher that said that to a room full of black children would most likely be fired.
Is it fair? No. Is it logical. Yes.
And irrespective of race, the big complaining whiners I see are always PC liberals of whatever skin color.
True. This American man of Irish decent is always on the lookout for a good Shepherd's Pie or Corned Beef & Cabbage.
Can't forget the Arugula salad!
I’m a po’ Southern boy, white trash, redneck etc. I certainly wouldn’t be offended by chicken and black eyed peas. Now collard greens I don’t eat but I wouldn’t be offended to see them on the menu. I wouldn’t even be offended to see squirrel stew, I’ve eaten it before. Some folks jes too danged sensitive.
Fried fish with white rice and hushpuppies.
Rare ribeye steak, charcoal broiled with baked potato, salad and garlic toast.
Venison cheeseburgers with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potato, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer.
Pig pickin’ (barbecued pork for the unSouthern) with cole slaw, rice, redeye gravy, sweet potato souffle and all that other good stuff.
Banana puddin’, lemon meringue pie, carrot cake, wild blackberry cobbler, yum, yum I gotta go eat something.
