I’d think they’d be more upset that BH month is the SHORTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR!

I have heard that complaint. So if they want a longer month, give them July, when most schools are closed for summer.

Does anyone here even read the articles anymore? Did comprehension skills on our side just take a nose dive? To offer “chicken, watermelon, and cornbread” as a proposeful way to celebrate “blackness” truly is ignorant and, if not, then moronic. I would expect some liberal admin to come up with the idea. What I DON’T expect are many of the comments posted in this thread.

So what’s wrong with fried chicken, watermelon and corn bread? Sounds good to me.

Geez people. Quit being so dang sensitive.

. But when the school announced a menu of fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon on Monday, other students and parents became offended.

Here is an idea. Grow Up! Its food. Good food. I have some several times at picnics each summer.....

I had a teacher in High School in this same District, Mr Ted Ault at College Park High School who did a assignment on racism and he included derogatory words such as the N word and others of other races and the few Black students at the school got him fired for it. Crondolet is a private school and if I was the Admin I would tell them to “Pound sand”.

Nice try. You’re an embarrassment to FreeRepublic AND the kind of moron that gives idiot libs ammo. Congratulations for the most ignoramus thread post of the year. At least you showed your true self. I’d love to see Colonel West mop the floor with “Sgt Dave”.

The race baiting must go on. Since when do Blacks own fried chicken/corn bread/watermelon? Just ensuring that those they intend to keep in chains understand that they MUST be offended and vocal about it if they are to continue the “progress” their masters have helped them make into the abyss of victim-hood.

Well maybe some day they can have a White History day!
During the depression more than one winter my folks lived on a 55gal drum of sorghum molasses and a 100 lb sack of flour and whatever the old man could kill! They had an old milk cow and a a few chickens! Arkansas Winters can be unkind! Just because you have color doesn’t mean your people suffered more than others! Poor is poor no matter the ethnicity. One interesting thing is, you could read the news paper, from the neighbor who dropped them by, easily as it was the wall paper to keep the wind from penetrating the wood slats of the house!

NO SPECIAL TREATMENT of a group based on their race.

Isn't "white only" water fountains and "white only" restrooms "SPECIAL TREATMENT"? But side and backdoor entrances to places for us, was that considered "SPECIAL TREATMENT" too?

This happen not that long ago, how soon things are forgotten. I'm not directing that at you but I'm just giving my opinion and it did happen.

I have always taken personal responsibility for ME. That's why I'm a hard working professional, home owning, God fearing conservative that have a stay at home home-schooling wife with four children!

With some of the comments that I read on here, I see why minorities don't want to be a conservative. I know from personal experience and some of the things that I read on here. Yes, a lot of black people are ignorant and bitter about what they have experienced but isn't it time to try and reach out? No one reached out to me as a young black man, I had to learn on my own about my political affiliation because of my Christian beliefs. I'm a conservative today because I was a Christian first.

Thanks for pointing out some truth. I do not agree with fountains and bathrooms set aside by race.

I agree that conservatives do a poor job “reaching out”, PRIMARILY by NOT putting our black conservative leaders in the forefront ALL of the time. The only time the Republicans seem to emphasize our identification with blacks, women and Hispanics is during national conventions.

Tim Scott should be at EVERY press conference the Republican Senate leadership gives, for instance.

Erika Harold needs to be publicly applauded by GOP leadership....Star Parker and Mia Love, too.

What we DO NOT need to change is our values. This includes, I think, singling out one race for special treatment.

I am frustrated when I see Gallup polls that show the Clown at nearly 90% support among black poll respondents.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

I do not consciously remember those days, though I was alive when they still existed.

Do you still think conservatives endorse such segregation? I think, from my reading of history, that race based segregation was on its way out through the machinations of society and law....without the need, really, for federal intervention.

For instance, the constitutional amendment eliminating the poll tax was pretty much useless, since nearly every state has ALREADY done away with the practice, and the others were in the process thereof.

Like I said, conservatives need to put a better effort at teaching and reaching blacks without straying from their principles.

Okay, yes, I get it. Yes, it was wrong. And it happened a long time ago.
Look what happened seven years ago....discrimination we rarely hear about...
