Why dont they find out who did it and put that individual on display.
You're giving them way too much credit. They're mocking us. Looking at the photo above when the cacs were in blackface, what were they holding? Fried chicken and watermelon.
and grape soda, which is another stereotype.
I agree 100% that the intent was to mock us, and they knew that if anyone called them out on it, they could easily flip it with their cac tactics and claim that it was done in innocence.

I work at a college and im on the committee for Black History Month we had food as well them cacs gon say we going to have fried chicken collard greens etc catered I looked at them likeand they asked what should we have catered instead because for Hispanic heritage month they had tacos and shyt and I really realized that as black folks we had our culture taken away from us and adopted southern whites culture so I agreed but I told them if I see 1 watermelon imam fukk somebody up
... You ain't say sh1t, they got slick and you compromised with them and your true feelings by telling yourself Black american culture was southern culture. Why didn't you take the time to educate them or remind them that's not our culture. I hate when cats get in here and tell a story and add what they wish they would have said...As a matter of fact, you probably said it and giggled like a little b1tch which is c00ning in itself. Stand up for yourself black man...

What exactly do you consider to be African American cuisine?
I understand that we have to walk a thin line....yes we will get mocked (And it doesn't matter whether the particular stereotype is true or not), but I really don't *get* exactly what kind of food people think is celebrating black history. I mean, you could say that they should expand beyond African Americans, and add Caribbean and African dishes...but I don't think that's what's bothering people.

I see too many sistas letting their white daddies get away with saying lil slick sh1t to them. I over heard a fetish couple ordering food and her white daddy told her she knew she wanted the chicken. The black chick and their black waitress nervously laughed like the sh1t was funny.and grape soda, which is another stereotype.

Ok for the Mexican independence day we had tacos and shyt were the Mexicans suppose to get mad? Would it be better if I had Ciroc and Wing Stop come to the school?
like someone previously said, our REAL culture was robbed from us, and this shyt we're calling our culture is literally killing us, soul food is one of the many poisons destroying the Black community.
Ok whats a traditional black American dish? Black Caribbean have their dish what's ours? Another question what could be on the Menu for a Cac month celebration??

That wasn't my initial issue, it was the fact the he tried to act like a tough guy talking about he was gonna whoop someone had he seen a watermelon. Black Americans don't have a history to celebrate when it comes to food. Focus on the other accomplishments, that fried chicken sh1t they push on us is simply a backhanded celebratory measure.
Wtf does that do with what I said? The bolded tells me you ain't say sh1t about whooping someone's ass if you seen watermelon. You can try to go back and forth with me but you have to look in the mirror every morning you ham bone ass nicca.
"Mocking" is the exact word that comes to mind. I'd be damn if I was ashamed and apologetic about liking chicken, soul food and whatnot, but cacs take it to a different level when they start making us look like feverish fiends who can't help ourselves at the site of chicken, watermelon and such. My Grandma use to tell us about how cacs down here used to put up signs in their yards during the hot seasons with pictures of sambo characters saying, "Watermelon thieves beware"
Cac month would be Burgers, BBQ, Hot Dogs, French Fries.
Black people's "traditional dishes" are nothing more than American dishes that we've put our own twist on.
Our entire culture is fake and destructive, right down to the food choices, because it isn't our real culture, no matter how much we try to force it upon ourselves.
