I gotta go with canned spinach. There’s no racial connotation, but its very presence certainly offends me.

Those crazy Swedes! But, I’ll tell ya, the menu for the blacks (insensitive as is) sure sounds a lot tastier than that old meatloaf and taters peddled to the white folks. I’m hungry!

I’m Swedish and if they had orange or grape soda that would be one fine meal.

As you business they should have known this would be used to attack them as racist. This exact situation has played out before. Is it racist, no. Is it bullshit, yes. Any marketing person worth a damn would have known better.

That is a great menu.

Maybe the Swedes don't even know where they went wrong with the woke crowd. Or maybe they don't care.

But a fried chicken supper can't be beat, in my book.

I'm tryin' to figure out if I'm supposed to be offended on St. Patrick's Day when, here in the U.S., there's corned beef and cabbage as the meal of the day everywhere, cases of Guinness stout predominating stores' display spaces, and so-on

Maybe the problem is the Irish get a bunch of jokes about them tossed around on and near SPD and nobody was telling jokes about black folk on Juneteenth?

fried chicken, watermelon, mac 'n cheese, potato salad, collard greens, candied yams.

Well shit.

This old white guy would have been there so early, I'd offer to help with the cooking too.

That’s it! I’m offended by pancakes. No…..three high stacks of pancakes.

Perhaps we can eradicate watermelons from the planet.

The chickens have to stay, though.

TOFU

Wait till the Communists, I mean democrats, push reparations and biden signs off on it.

I grew up in South Georgia.
Fried chicken was a staple and watermelon was a summertime treat.

And guess who sold us watermelons? It wasn't the Amish.

Friggen persimmons.

I didn't know Fuzzy Zoeller owned an Ikea.

False indignation to scam money out of Ikea. Or maybe not... time will tell.

That menu sounds like the Thursday special at my local Mon and Pop here in Lower Alabama.

Ikea Juneteenth menu with watermelon, fried chicken sparks outrage

Bwahahaaa!

In the mid-1970's, I met with the president of Oakwood University to discuss stained glass winds for the church they were building on campus. Oakwood is a Seventh-day Adventist university in Huntsville, Alabama.

When I drove on campus, I noticed a lot of young black men maintaining the campus. When I entered the President's office, I noticed the secretary was black. And, yep, the president was black.

The president invited me to lunch in the school cafeteria. Going through the line, he proudly explained that virtually everything they served was grown by the school. Well, there were mustard greens, chicken-n dumplings, mashed potatoes, cornbread, beautiful fried chicken, large slices of watermelon - think large melon sliced into six wedges, other items and sweet tea.

I looked around at the packed cafeteria and virtually every student had a large slice of watermelon on their tray.

As I put a large slice of melon on my tray, I thought, damn, I grew up on this food and I am going to enjoy myself!

Bite your tongue pal. I grew up on fired chicken and still crave it throughout the year. Collards and mac and cheese too. Anybody who gets in my way of enjoying that crunchy moist goodness is gonna git hurt.

You're a funny man. Though as much as I dislike Tiger Woods, I'll offer him huge props for the way he handled this incident with the retards in the media.
