VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has been set straight on Thanksgiving comfort food.
"The 700 Club" founder showed a clip of Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday. Robertson's host, Kristi Watts, asked what dish the former secretary of state had to have on Thanksgiving. Rice replied macaroni and cheese.
Watts reacted enthusiastically, adding "Sister, that is my dish..."
Appearing perplexed, Robertson asked Watts, who is black, of the women's shared enthusiasm for mac 'n' cheese, "Is that a black thing?"

No. It’s a ten year old thang.
Oh no! Call the political correctness police quick! That’s it. He has to go.
Send him to Sensitivity Training! Racist old white man./s
Macaroni & cheese is as American as apple pie, the color of the person eating it has nothing to do with anything.
he’s old and senile.
Can we check the record to see if Ed Asner or any other old leftist has said anything stupid? Will it be given the same media attention?
Agreed. :)
Why would we do that. Good Ol' Pat is a Leftist. He is 100% behind Mittens and dislikes Conservatives. Didn't you hear?

We are too extreme, dontcha know.
No, it’s a what people eat who don’t live off the hard earned donations of others thing.
The MSM should have lightened up on him then. lol.
Okay,
Pat has a gift for putting his foot in his mouth. The context, however, was what was being eaten on Thanksgiving Day. I would be expecting to hear turkey or perhaps ham, dressing, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce . . . But not macaroni and cheese.
So, it begs the question, why mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. Why not, I know. But maybe it is cultural.
I don’t care one way or another, but I think I understand the reason for the question. Flame on,
LOL
I don’t know where you celebrate Thanksgiving, but in the South we have a bunch of sides along with the turkey, dressing and cranberry sauce. Mashed potatoes, greens, yams, creamed corn, butter beans and field peas, and yes, mac&cheese.
Mac and cheese is common in the deep south on holidays and reunions...we dont do it but many do
Wifey does turkey...dressing...cranberry sauce homemade..limas and butter beans, yeast rolls, ham with cloves in it, sweet taters...yep with trimmings, green bean horseradish thingie, spinach ...creamed, devil eggs and pickle/olive tray, mashed idahos
I bet our menu is similar to anywhere they grow cotton and catfish
