Apparently the food does matter.

Your point reflects a lot of other points. You are arguing if fried chicken in general is bad, which isn’t what is being discussed.

The point of discussion is if fried chicken is appropriate for a specific holiday.

The switch from pale skin to tanned skin in western countries is an interesting example.

When most labor worked outside, pale skin was in. Once labor shifted to working in factories, having the means to travel to sunny destinations and get a tan became the signifier of wealth.

I wonder if part of it is because more parents are parents because they chose to be. There are a lot of stories from older people where they became adults because they became parents, creating a lot of resentment.

My apologies.

How did this become a stereotype?

It became associated with black people as the food was relatively cheap and therefore commonly eaten by black people. Then it became integrated to comedic shows of people doing blackface as a way to deride black people.

Doesn’t everyone love fried chicken and watermelon regardless of skin color? They are both delicious.

Everyone loves fried chicken and watermelon. The problem isn’t the food, but cultural stigma attached to it in certain cases.

just as good as any other made up meal, in my opinion.

You may not see a significance in a holiday meal, but others do. There is a reason why most civilizations include traditional foods to holidays.

I think it is more writing to people for whom that is the case.

The economy is shifting to a set of haves and have-nots. The problems that the haves deal with are tied a lot more to economic performance than have-nots.

You also have a case where unemployment is still low, with a lot of the issue being tied to low minimum wages. Usually, the problems that have-nots have with the economy have been tied to unemployment. You can get a job in this economy, it just won’t be well paying.

Yeah. They were supposed to have a year of hell. The best they could do was a two parter where everything went back to normal in the end.

But I thought Russia was super scared of NATO.

It isn’t racist to eat chicken and waffles on Juneteenth. It would be like eating ham on Thanksgiving. You can do it and you can do it with friends if everyone is on board for that.

It doesn’t make my point incorrect.

The issue isn’t eating what you want.

The issue is that there is a cultural celebration involving food. Rather than try to serve food that fits within that cultural celebration, food was served based on a racial stereotype.

Juneteenth is coalescing around a menu of barbeque and red colored foods. Fried chicken could be served, but it likely wouldn’t be the main entree.

It would be like a non-American serving Americans burgers and fries for Thanksgiving. Sure, Americans are known to like burgers, but that isn’t the holiday is about.

About a century ago, blackface was a form of comedy where white people would make their faces black and put on comedic shows. They would take some elements of black culture, like mimicking accents or saying they love fried chicken and watermelon, and make fun of black people for being idiots.

Giving out fried chicken to an event like this feels like you don’t really care about the event. Instead, it is a token gesture at best where the decision makers thought “well, black people like fried chicken, so give them that.”

Watermelon and other red food is served on Juneteenth. But, if watermelon is the only red food there, they likely didn’t pick it because of cultural sensitivity to the holiday.

It is better to have angry drivers behind you?

The problem with some bad systems is that people recognize the system as bad, but can’t create a better system.

That was an amazing YouTube video.

That seems to be the consensus with a lot of people who worked with her. She was a great person and a great actor.
