CONCORD, Calif. — A student effort to come up with a special menu for Black History Month backfired at a Northern California high school. Interim President Sister Ann Bernard of Carondelet High School in Concord, Calif., said students who were members of the Black Student Union club at neighboring De La Salle High School planned a special lunch to celebrate the month. The menu included fried chicken, corn bread and watermelon. "They thought this was a very clever way, in their own way, of celebrating Black History Month. It was as simple, and naive as that," Sister Bernard explained. On Thursday Bernard publicly apologized for the event she said was planned without following procedures to get staff approval.

From this day forth, it should be a hate crime to offer this combination of food.
Far as I'm concerned, take your lunch tray to the back of the bus.
I might add: there is no such thing as a “spokesman for the black community” or “black leadership.” There is no such thing as an “authentic black” or an “inauthentic black.” These are political constructs meant either to divide people into groups or to exclude individuals who fail to confiorm to stereotypes.
Obviously, serving ethnic/cultural cuisine on an ethnic holiday is a hate crime and needs to be outlawed:
No eating or serving soul food during Black History Month if you are not black.
No eating or serving corned beef and cabbage and Irish soda bread on St. Patrick’s Day if you are not Irish.
No eating or serving tacos, enchiladas or guacamole on Cinco De Mayo if you are not Mexican.
No Italian food on Columbus Day if you are not Italian. (Actually, Columbus Day needs to be outlawed, period.)
No stir fries or egg rolls on Chinese New Year if you are not Chinese.
How about this? How about we stop having special “months” for people based on their skin color or what they do in the bedroom? How about that, huh?!
So, what's the point of the story? Is it that blacks are racist...against blacks?
the unspoken stigma behind this menu is old generally accepted notion all negros are chicken thieves. Which of course is false.
Awwww Man!
I was really looking forward to Caucasian Missionary Month.
Simple way to fix this. DON’T KOW TOW TO THE BLACKS! No matter what you do you will offend them so don’t even try to appease them.
Continue to serve the Mystery Meat meals as usual. When THEY whine, say that you DON’T want to offend them! They will still be offended by it.
So what does the White Student Union club have to say on the matter? Oh, that's right. It would be racist to have one of those.
Therein is the problem...
Chicken, watermelon
Meat, fruit...
we cant have those little children being terrorized by healthy tasty food...
Paging Michelle...
No eating or serving corned beef and cabbage and Irish soda bread on St. Patrick’s Day if you are not Irish.

No hot dogs and hamburgers for Americans on Labor Day?
Ask Doug Tracht how well that sh*t goes over with people.
DANG!
Fried chicken was an African dish and was introduced by slaves to their plantation owners. It became a Southern institution for whites as well as blacks, and now for the entire nation.
Awwww Man! I was really looking forward to Caucasian Missionary Month.
Now that's funny!
Gimme some, Barry!
