Is it a stereotype if it's true?i have nothing against fried chicken
but i know that when they were deciding the menu for a holiday celebrating the freedom of the last of the slaves
the thought was"hey they love fried chicken"
now come july 4th the first thought will be BBQ
my point is that it is offensive that when we celebrate,they think
we eat fried chicken above all else
This black-people-and-fried-chicken thing is really old — it's not even the first time a professional golfer made a joke about fried chicken and Tiger Woods.
Where Did That Fried Chicken Stereotype Come From?
Fried chicken is an old mainstay in racist depictions of blacks, and golfer Sergio Garcia's recent jab at rival Tiger Woods shows that the idea still holds traction. Why?www.npr.org
What is it with this stereotype about black people loving fried chicken?
I asked Claire Schmidt for help. She's a professor at the University of Missouri who studies race and folklore. Schmidt said chickens had long been a part of Southern diets, but they had particular utility for slaves. They were cheap, easy to feed and a good source of meat.
But then, Schmidt says, came Birth of a Nation.
D.W. Griffith's seminal and supremely racist 1915 silent movie about the supposedly heroic founding of the Ku Klux Klan was a huge sensation when it debuted. One scene in the three-hor features a group of actors portraying shiftless black elected officials acting rowdy and crudely in a legislative hall. (The message to the audience: These are the dangers of letting blacks vote.) Some of the legislators are shown drinking. Others had their feet kicked up on their desks. And one of them was very ostentatiously eating fried chicken.
"That image really solidified the way white people thought of black people and fried chicken," Schmidt said.
Schmidt said that like watermelon, that other food that's been a mainstay in racist depictions of blacks, chicken was also a good vehicle for racism because of the way people eat it. (According to government stats, blacks are underrepresented among watermelon consumers.) "It's a food you eat with your hands, and therefore it's dirty," Schmidt said. "Table manners are a way of determining who is worthy of respect or not."
But why does this idea still hold traction, since fried chicken is clearly a staple of the American diet? Surely, KFC, Popeyes and Church's ain't national chains — and chicken and waffles aren't a brunch staple — because of the supposed culinary obsessions of black folks.
no stereotype is true
they are too general
are all asians poor drivers?
do all white rural people practice incest?
are all serial killers white males?
are all first people alcoholics?
do black people only excel at sports and entertainment?
are all gay men and women pedophiles?
Was the Chicken seasoned?
Did they have the Fatback in them Greens?
And did they have Grape Kool-Aid to wash it down?
If they cooked that food right….I’m eating!
HaHa!!!

And I would have been right with you. Walking up to every ‘woke’ employee in the store telling them how that was bullshit and offering to take their damn plate the fuck out of there. Wrapped up nicely with Saran Wrap and talking shit under my breath because they forgot the strawberry soda.

From what I'm reading there was an apology. The menu has been fixed and now includes mashed potatoes, collard greens and meatloaf. I'm typing this with tears from laughter still blurring my vision.
1 of the greatest fruits ever.. pineapple might be secondWatermelon.
If white people made it even a more spit in your face... first they offend you than they offered you their poison I mean their cooking
I love fried chicken. I can eat it every day. Churches. Popeyes. KFC. Frenchys. My wife will be like didn’t you eat that yesterday. And I’m like it was a different kind. Not the same. And I ain’t letting neither white folk nor kneegrows deter me from my delight.
They called Mexicans beaners and what did they do? Open a Mexican restaurant on every corner. They say black folks love fried chicken and what do they do? Start eating fried chicken in a closet with a knife and fork.

Fam ain't no way I'm eating that food if WASP's are cooking it. They don't clean the chicken among others.
I get why some people were upset, but watermelon is a summer fruit. I would have had multiple to choose from like honey dew and cantaloupe tho.
I'm trying to get over it, but I'm hyper aware of some of the stereotypes so I often don't buy watermelon or eat it in public. I am better at picking them than my brother, so I will buy them for him when I'm out.
White folks are watermelon masters tho with all their tools and gadgets for melonballs etc. I just bought a cube thingy I saw this week for kicks and giggles. Nothing I can't do with a knife, I just want to see if it works. More junk to take up more space.

Italians shouldn't eat spaghetti. Tomatoes aren't even native to Italy or Europe at all. They were brought from the New World by colonizers.
And it plays into the Italian Gangster stereotype. I feel you bro.
Said no one ever
im not italian and all because they arent complaining doesn't mean i shouldn't. dumb cunt.
I'm not with all this holiday and month shit.
Name calling? You must know you lost. Why are you in the thread at all if you feel this cusine is nothing but "slave food'. If you said Southern food we could agree.
