Player makes video of "Black Olympics" eating watermelon and fried chicken then posts it on youtube...from cbs11

[LongElegantLegs]

Wasn't this an episode of Carlos Mencia?

[Terpfen]

Player in question is Martellus Bennett, second year TE for the Dallas Cowboys.

Martellus Bennett reflecting the quality of Jerry Jones’ decisions as General Manager... NFL ping material.

So, the player making fun of blacks was...black. What’s the problem?

Black on Black Humor

Back Olympics

People have lost their sense of humor.

Too many people actually go out of their way to find something to be offended about.

[The video was clean (except for the food residue) and funny. They were having a good time.]

[Huck]

What’s the big deal? The guy’s black. It’s not like he’s a stormfront kook or something. I think the video is nice. Two brothers having some good clean fun, having some laughs together. It’s nice to see family being creative and making their own fun. And it’s refreshing to see a couple of accomplished black men able to laugh about racial stereotypes in good fun and not be angry. Kudos to da boyz for making the video. Now I have to go back and see who won.

I have never understood why watermelon and fried chicken is “racial”...people in the south, black and white, eat fried chicken, ribs and watermelon. There is nothing racial about it, it is regional. Of course, a lot of the same people think all of us are barefoot, live on dirt roads and are praying for lectricity to one day grace us with it’s presence.

[Huck]

Who can drink the most kool aid! lol. The Michael Phelps of eating chicken! I wonder who’s working the camera. His officiating of the chicken eating contest was awesome.

[Terpfen]

Stupidity crosses racial boundaries.

[trtdenver]

I couldn't agree more. Everyone has to be a victim of something today which is part of the lib agenda and a big part of Rules for Radicals.

I would laugh my arse off if there was a white Olympics showing some athletics challenged white guys trying to dunk, etc. Seriously, get a grip.

[TomGuy]

I have never understood why watermelon and fried chicken is “racial”...

Me neither.

I had watermelon and fried chicken earlier this week. And pook chops.

I've never done the chitlens, but pook rinds is delicious (had'em last week).

[Southern: If it ain't fried, it ain't food.]

[devane617]

My favorite Sunday dinner (that's the southern way of saying lunch) is, Fried Chicken, Mashed potatos, Cream Corn, Fried Okra, Corn Bread (the real stuff, not the sweet stuff). For dessert, Lemon Meraign Pie. Then in about two hours, we cut open a nice cold Watermelon, and everyone dives in with a spoon...

[Huck]

Up here in the north, “soul” food is basically southern food. But we don’t eat southern food up here. The blacks presumably took it with them to their various northern enclaves after emancipation. You just ain’t gonna find any white folks in Connecticutt or New Jersey eating fried okra. Unless they found a Cracker Barrell somewhere.

Having been a Cowboys fan since they wore the throwback jerseys the first time, I can tell you that anything the Cowboys do is held up to incredible scrutiny.

If Family Guy had done this, there wouldn't have been a peep of protest.

REAL quote from Family Guy:

Stewie: What kind of man would I be if I walked out on the woman who has my child?

Brian: You'd be a black man.

[GoldenPup]

That vid was funny as hell. Race shouldn’t have anything to do with it. What if it was white guys eating rice pudding and hot dogs? Same answer...it was funny. Period. Screw the so-called “race card”.

[Puppage]

then posts it on youtube

With a stolen laptop? I am just ask'n.

Agreed! In the name of PC the races have actually grown farther apart.

We need In Living Color reruns.
