Wow, we had "Soul Food" in DFAC. Fried Chicken, Catfish, BBQ Ribs, Greens, Mac'n cheese, etc. No one complained, in fact it was the most popular day of the week to go to there.

Can you mix watermelon chunks in green jello?

All I know is that if some of your collards get tangled up with your mac'n'cheese, well, it isn't the worst thing that ever happened.

Oh man. You can’t let foods integrate! I don’t want my dishes stuck in a food jungle….

Food TOUCHING other food on a plate!!??? Peas and meatloaf in congress? The forbidden intimacy of noodles and spinach? Asparagus and filet mignon carousing? Turkey and cranberry caressing? Sir, have mercy! Give voice no more of these unspeakable loves! Spare the memories of suffering past and present of toddlers everywhere brought to tears by dinner plate miscegenation!

THEY'S MISEGENATED!!!!!

What I always find hilarious about the periodic fried chicken and watermelon outrage is that any white southern household would be serving and eating the exact same menu on any summer picnic or Sunday afternoon lunch. Epic Sunday lunches at my Granny’s included home fried chicken, black-eyed peas, collards or turnip greens, homemade rolls, mashed taters, relish tray, icewater pickles, sliced maters, canteloupe, watermelon, coconut or chocolate pie or banana pudding. Anyway, you get the idea…

Yeah, I can't be offended by food menus and I can't be offended by any name/label anyone chooses to try to apply to me. I know who and what I am and no one else is going to define me. The makeup of my character does not depend upon the opinions, observations or judgements of others.

We've always had people in this lfe who walk around with a chip on their shoulder, just looking for an excuse. But, now we have untold nubers of these people- entire social groups- pulling this whiny shit. Well, get outraged, or, I should say, stay outraged. Me? I'm gonna have some of that fried chicken, andd I'll have some watermelon, too, merely on principle.

You can intimdate weak coroporations, but you cannot intimidate us.

I still laugh at the watermelon because my Daddy always told us when we were little that if ate all that watermelon it would make us pee the bed. He teased us with that way up into our teens-my friends are witnesses….

What if instead they were offering just four whole fried chickens and a Coke or dry white toast?

Jake! Elwood!

They still owe you money, fool.

I just don’t know what all of the fuss is about.

They didn’t even serve Colt 45 or Olde English 800, did they?!

That’s what the outrage should be over!!

The ghost of Billy Dee Williams haunts this thread.

Which is really weird, 'cause he ain't dead.

Perhaps we can eradicate watermelons from the planet.

The chickens have to stay, though.

They used to feed slaves watermelon

Picnickers, too! Cub scouts, even!! Evil! EVIL!!!!

Let's see- I'm trying to think of a food which would "offend" me- something horribly shocking. Some food which by its very presence offends my entire race.

thinking...

thinking...

that was my thought.... they complained about the watermelon but not the fried chicken?

EDIT: And Para.... I was thinking of Billy D. and his part in "under cover brother" as I was typing this.
