At a former employer’s cafeteria, in liberal San Francisco, the special to honor Black History Month was ( I swear to God):
“Poke Chops, Greens and Watermelon.”
It didn’t go over well.

LOL, BS. My ancestors arrived by boat and we all lived happily ever after in New York eating corned beef and cabbage and drinking beer on St Patty's day which is of course an American holiday as is the corned beef part of corned beef and cabbage.
And just to keep it real here for the challenged I was being facetious about the insult thing.

Yes, it is funny. Yankee city people, thinking country cooking is “black,” like they’ve never met country white people or country Mexican people or country Vietnamese people. (Well, Vietnamese cooking can get a little strange ...)
Fried chicken, greens, cornbread, and melon is what we ate when I was a girl in Missouri.

I guess they are so used to getting the Gubmit hand out of cash, they are just too good for Fried Chicken and Watermalon.
Turned uppity...............
This not an issue that common folks gripe about. Now race baiters are jumping with glee......

i know. it’s really southern, as i can attest to many summers in alabama at my relatives. although black cuisine has heavily influenced southern cusine, fried chicken is not exclusively black for sure.

I’ve never known any white liberals that lived in predominately black communities. In fact, most of them lived in very affluent areas.
To: Old Texan
This not an issue that common folks gripe about. That's the truth. Food's food, if you're hungry.
When my kids say, "What's for dinner?" I always answer, "Food." "What kind of food?" "The kind of food you'll eat or do without!" Turns out that's just the kind of food they wanted ;-).

I agree. I have always heard that it was something the Scots brought with them to the US. However, the people of the South (regardless of color) improved the taste. LOL.
In our family we didn't call it white or black food, but Sunday after church lunch.

Everyone makes fried chicken, practically, and fried fish, and cornbread. Greens are mostly a Southern thing, but not exclusively. My old relatives in Missouri - the pre-World War 2 generation - could be pretty racist, but they had a Southern-influenced country diet, just as rural black people did.
As I said above, only city people would think that menu was distinctively black.

Whatever the menu, mayonaise would be involved.

I don’t see what the big deal is. Fried chicken is Southern food, most Blacks are also Southern....or at least only a generation or two removed from it.
Hell, pass it to me if you don’t want it.

I think "Black people like fried chicken" is a stereotype in the US.

They apologized “for anyone that was offended by” the sign. Shouldn’t they be apologizing TO anyone?
