Not really.

Personally I don't like fried chicken and watermelon together....

But assuming that all black people like it is the problem.

My self personally...I have fried chicken maybe once every 4 or 5 months...and I might have watermelon once a year.

That's because doing so is a logistical nightmare. Schools feed children easy to prepare meals...not foods from a deep fryer.

Again...that's a lie. No truth to what he said.
pure idiocy.

i have attended plenty of schools myself. fried chicken was hardly a rarity.

news flash: a deep fryer is not required to cook fried chicken

For a school to serve fried chicken would be a cluster**** of epic proportions. It's not feasible. Schools have to serve quickly prepared meals, which is why schools lunches leave much to be desired taste wise.

LMAO...only a fool would believe something like that.

LMAO. better tell the 'fools' at these schools

I suggest the students be required to read and discuss the 2111 Hamden Rice article about what MLK and the other civil rights leaders really did. IMO, much has been lost in the younger folks understanding about the way things were. They have nothing to relate it to. The article might provide a little understanding.

The kids..they probably went to the google images result.
I just did that and almost every image has a piece of fried chicken in it.

Kids are going to opt for pictures over words any day.

Go try it and see the images yourself.
Sad case of kids being just that..kids.
They do believe everything they read and see on the internet
Good points.

In the apology letter the principal said the entire school was going to diversity training.

Besides that it's just good eating, even for us white guys.

Great...you found a school that served fried chicken at some point in their history...which still gives ZERO validity to ADC's nonsense.

Yeah...his school cafeteria was strangely quiet and calm on days where fried chicken wad served.

Yeah..right.

And my question has still gone unanswered...what does fried chicken and watermelon have to do with African Americans?
