Quote:US school apologises for 'inexcusably insensitive' Black History Month lunchBBC:
'A New York school has apologised after serving what it called an "inexcusably insensitive" lunch
on the first day of Black History Month. Students at Nyack Middle School were served fried chicken,
waffles and watermelon on 1 February.
There was once, a day when food was just food.
The foods have been used as racist tropes against African Americans.

ROFLMFAO! Around here, we just call that "home cooking" or "stuff that came out of your garden and barnyard". It's just a Southern thang, Black folk don't have a patent on it.
