let me guess

it was probably white people offended on behalf of black people and the majority didn't give a chit. inb4 it was black people that made up the menu. fried chicken and collard greens are typical southern food. bets that the 20 employees probably ate the fried chicken before walking out "in protest". who tf doesn't like refreshing watermelon on a hot summer day? just lol. guess it's also racist to serve tacos on cinco de mayo as well.

This. I’m sure most black people were happy about it just like every other person who walked in the store. It’s the virtue signaling white leftist along with the brain dead victim mentality black that would think twice about it. Also highly doubt it was a buffet with nothing but fried chicken and watermelons, but even if it were I bet there were plenty of folks of all races eating it.

They used to feed slaves watermelon, and they would make slaves drink water, and breathe air too. How racist of restaurants and businesses in general to have breathable air in their establishments.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I remember our marketing guy was trying to make inroads with some black churches and organizations to start getting their work. He's white. We spent some time coming up with some ideas, including stuff that he should have for an upcoming event for the marketing tent at an event. I told him Ciroc, Hennessy, fried chicken, etc. His face got bright red and you could tell he was uncomfortable with my response. Then he said "isn't that kind of racist?" Then I realized while its dope AF he was right...he couldn't do it just because he's white.

I chit you not 3 weeks later it was black alumni week at the college I went to, so there was a special section for black students and alumni of the school to tailgate before the football game. My brother calls me up excited as hell. "Bro! I wish you could be here! They've got Ciroc, Hennessy, fried chicken...blah, blah, blah." Basically a rundown of all of the things I told the marketing guy that would be a hit at his event! But since it was put on by the black alumni association noone batted an eye.

The entire menu was...

Fried Chicken
Watermelon
Potato Salad
Mac and Cheese
Collard Greens
Candied Yams

You can't tell me every single person from every part of the world wouldn't have enjoyed the fuk out of that. You could show up to anyone's house (esp in the South) on a Sunday evening and you'll find this exact menu.

And that's the crux of the issues. If you fight everyone tooth and nail over every little thing sooner or later you lose the plot and nothing is important anymore. Here we had a man making a good faith community outreach effort and it was shot down because of optics. Smh.

I remember seeing a "Black History Month" promotion at a regional grocery store chain that basically advertised the same thing around 2000. Probably back then was actually a good idea, can't fly today though.

It's ironic that we have to observe an entire month for one of our main subcultures who we live with every day, but dare not identify or share their traditional cuisine. lol.

Kind of reminds me of the Bryce Williams incident. He was a black sjw type that ended up killing his coworkers at a news station. Among his imagined injustices was a rant from when he attended a company party, where the food table had tons and tons of varieties of food, including assorted melons. But he saw a watermelon on the table along with all of the other fruit. So he took to twitter and ranted that the racists at his office were out to get him.

I live down south and eat cajun black foods often. It's awesome, and it's too bad it's considered "racist" in today's climate to serve southern black cuisine on a day dedicated to black people.

I don't understand how it's racist?

I mean Fried Chicken and Watermelon is a black Southern culture staple food, so how is it racist? Is it because black people eat it?

It be like a store serving Pasta and Pizza to celebrate an Italian holiday or some chit. Well, no fuk, it's what they're gonna serve because it's what we Italians literally Eat everyday, well Pasta for sure and Pizza probably at least once or twice a week.

The only people to complain are literally white liberal rich fuks.

What I thought. I’m from the Deep South and this is what my grandmother would cook all the time. This is southern food and in GA everyone from there and around there knows this. It has to be the woke Libs crying. Had several black friends that eat meals at my grandmothers (loved a food the street growing up). We’d play ball all day and chill then eat dinner at her house because my grandfather had 2 huge gardens and everything was fresh always. I never saw anyone turn it down and not be happy. This is ridiculous.

This is where folks are confusing Racist versus Racial. There is nothing wrong with Racial, but everyone wants to be offended. Traditions within a racial subculture should be free to enjoy.

BRB, creating and offering things that you know people will enjoy is now offensive. Thats like if Bauer offered me a free hockey stick for hockey day in America and I get offended.

There is nothing wrong with catering to your demographic. Marketing 101

BRB they would have still been labeled racist for not offering a special menu "in support/celebration"

It's beyond ridiculous. If your grandmother brought out a big plate of fried chicken and one of the kids didn't eat it she'd probably tell you never to hang out with that kid again.

"Eagle I don't trust that one..."

"Why grandma?"

LOL at these pandering corporations, don't they realize they can't win.

The woke mob complains that they want representation and there's only 3 options.

1) If you don't give it to them you're a racist.
2) If you give it to them but it's based off of stereotypical things then you're a racist.
3) If you give it to them but it's not based off of stereotypical things then you're white washing it and you're a racist.

Just LOL at caring what they want or think in this lose lose lose situation.
