It's Black History Month!

Now as an administrator at a private catholic high school, what special things can you do to recognize Black History Month?

Well, hey, how about a lunch featuring fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon?

Yeah, that's a great idea! Nothing offensive about that, eh?

Sheesh.

Without getting into the whole race/stereotype thing, I just found it funny a HS would even think doing such a thing wouldn't offend someone.

Damn I'm hungry now.

What? No blackeyed peas or mustard greens?

How does that never get to the "this might not be a good idea" stage?

I'm reminded off The Office where Michael kept calling them "colored greens"

Sounds like the school dropped the ball on last year's Black History Month curriculum.

Fried chicken, cornbread, and watermelon...

I am now salivating. There aren't many things I miss about living in the south, basically just the food.

Well its a bit different than it was at my school a couple of years ago. I go to a majority African-American school with African-American administration and they held a "Black History Month" assembly





in March...

Southern food is damn good; but I'm only able to eat it about once every several months because of how heavy it all is.

I saw the thread title and hoped it was a joke. It was a small hope .. more like a glimmer .... then I sneezed and the glimmer went away. ~sigh~

I'm just glad it was a private school and not public.

I asked the black guys in my location, whom I know well about this and do you know what they said?

" Don't you m***** f***** white people have anything better to talk about? Do you think fried cicken and watermelon exist only in the South?"

I'm just sayin' ...
