IKEA Woke? Not so much!

Juneteenth menu at Atlanta Ikea angers Black employees

A menu that the manager of an Ikea store in Atlanta says was meant to honor Juneteenth instead angered Black employees who called it insensitive. Many didn't show up for work on Saturday – Juneteenth – and some even thought about quitting.

Employees who requested anonymity due to fear of repercussions showed CBS Atlanta affiliate WGCL-TV an email sent Friday that said the special menu for customers and employees was one way to "honor the perseverance of Black Americans and acknowledge the progress yet to be made."

The menu included items such as fried chicken, watermelon, mac and cheese and collard greens.

Employees called that racially insensitive and ignorant and said members of management need to do more to educate themselves on black culture moving forward.

"You cannot say serving watermelon on Juneteenth is a soul food menu when you don't even know the history -- they used to feed slaves watermelon during the slavery time," one employee said.

"It caused a lot of people to be upset. People actually wanted to quit. People weren't coming back to work," he continued.

Employees said 33 people called out from work, which sparked an internal email response from the store manager on Saturday.

It said in part, "I truly apologize if the menu came off as subjective. It was created with the best of intentions by a few of our coworkers who believed they were representing their culture and tradition with these foods of celebration."

However, employees said the decisions behind the creation of the menu should have included voices of color first.

"None of the coworkers who sat down to create the menu -- nobody was black," the employee said.

The store manager told employees and WGCL that the menu was amended after the issue was raised.

But another employee said, "They just delayed the menu by a day, thinking that everybody who was upset stayed home on Juneteenth and wouldn't notice on Sunday, which just added insult to injury."

The revised menu still included collard greens, corn bread, mashed potatoes and meatloaf.

Customers also felt the menu was insulting.

"I'm just frankly disappointed in the learning process -- you shouldn't learn after you have insulted all of your black employees," said one.

The store manager told WGCL management deeply apologizes for what happened and realizes they got the menu wrong.

American food like hot dogs and burgers are a symbol of white supremacy. Italian, Mexican, etc foods are cultural appropriation. It's best just not to serve anything with the culture leftists have created.

I love this for them.

Because the funny thing is Ikea probably actually thought it was doing something good, but as we know with libs if you do something with good intent but dont do it their way, you get cancelled.

Pretty funny tbh, I have to assume some based Ikea employee made the menu as a troll job.

Ironically if you let blm create a juneteenth menu at IKEA what do you think they would've made? Those things are part of southern culture in general anyway.

I'm more offended they put mac and fukkin cheese... instead of grits and cheese!

I would say watermelon is nice, although it's definitely not the best fruit imo.
