I thought the idea behind Black History Month was to celebrate that culture.

It's to celebrate a culture not a stereotype.

It is Black History Month, not Black Culture Month.

The stereotype, if it actually is a stereotype, is based on history. What's the problem with offering a meal that reflects history? The seder is a Passover meal with the main purpose of retelling history, lest we forget our past.

I'm Jewish. I certainly would not get all pissy if the cafeteria at the place I worked offered "Jew food." I might bitch a little because the quality is not up to my (deceased) Polish-Russian Jewish grandmother's cooking, but the complaint, if any, would take the form of joking with the cooks, not trying to get them fired.

Saying "good morning" to any of these idiots is racist to them now.
Best thing to do is ignore them and any other their little marches or history months.

She's being indoctrinated into the power culture of I'm black and I'm offended and somebody has to pay. Well guess what Nia get off your entitled, sensitive don't make the black girls angry, high horse and realize you just further entrenched the poverty cycle in your own culture, how's that for history. Do you want to bet Nia that the cook you got fired isn't living on the upper east side in a Park Ave brownstone. Good job little miss black power offended.
