The problem isn’t the menu – it could, justifiably, be a sensitive recognition of black’s stereotypical foods. In some ways it could be a dietician’s idea of keeping the menu ‘fresh’ (no pun intended).

The problem IS the over PC and over sensitivity we have. “I’m offended!” is the battle cry usually followed up with “you’re racist”. Ok, so you’re offended. Your offense doesn’t dictate my change in attitude/behavior/thinking. Nor, should it. We have a difference of opinion. If you step on gum on the sidewalk do you also get offended? Are you going to go after gum makers? Or are you angry with children who accidentally dropped the gum? Not get enough starch in your shirt collar? Then are you offended by the obviously racist Korean dry-cleaner who over-starched JUST to piss you off? Get over it.

The overly PC nature of the U.S. is changing – it’s going back to not giving a shit about other peoples ‘hurt feelings’ – and if you’re the kid on that playground crying because someone called you a name? Expect to get punched again. You deserve it.

and though nassau bahamas is a pile of shit in the wet rain after a crack whore vomited all over it then washed out her curd cheesy, yeast infested pus oozing cunny with bile— and after all of that, i’d still prefer it here then any where in africa, fuck africa and it’s heat. at least i’m in a better position to go north to canada, hopefully, before i die, to live near nature and lots of ice. so yes, being a fucking slave for a bunch of white fuckers may have sucked, but fuck those fuckers, they’re dead and forgotten and i, their progeny, shall enjoy what they couldn’t.

It’s funny that no one is ever Un-PC around black men. They are always Un-PC on the internet and other venues. I could go around saying things that hurt or stereotype Hispanic, white and Asian individuals but that serves no purpose, that type of idiocy is only cute to idiots.

Vasquez, don’t think you Hispanic gringo males can’t catch it with black men.

This isn’t about crying, it’s about being civil and trying to act like grownups in a grown up world, rather than 4 year olds in a playground. How old are you Jimmy, you sound like a kid with all that being punched and playground idiocy and the not giving a fuck about people’s feelings. When you become an adult than you and I can have a rational debate on why speech can be offensive, more so than throwing any punch could.

When you demean an individual because of a ethnic class it can cut, that is the reason adults, not kids, adults behave in such a manner. You state that the world is changing, No, the world is not changing, and the world is being dumbed down. Individuals like yourself and Expletive who seems to be in his own pathological and rather strange world aren’t getting the needed education that you need. It’s too many kids professing knowledge that they don’t have or have yet to attain making comments too big for their britches.

As adults you are aware of things that can insult and when it pertains to a ethnic smite, it can be very offensive, so as an adult you are rational in your thinking. It is only children that are not rationale in there thinking.

Vasquez, you need to grow up, why is it that a black male has to sit here and educate you on rationale adult behavior when it pertains to insults about a racial group. Jokes like that are funny once and a while, yes, but its constant barrage can be very irritating to adults. So as such, you make concessions when you live in a society, that concession is to be civil to each other whether or not you are strangers or friends.

Vazquez, get your head straight if you want to play in the adult world with the big boys. Your talking to an adult black male who has lived life and you, I am not sure you have. You demean yourself and your race by making dumb uneducated remarks about being civil to others.

I can let that idiot Martinez slide because the way Martinez spells and writes, I don’t think education and rationale thought is his strong suit. Martinez writes like a third grader and that is the reason I can look past his dumb remarks.

PS:

Expletive, you need some psychological help brotha, you are really the strangest guy on these threads, almost psychologically strange. Some of the things you write seem as if you are living in a mad house.

@Joseph- thank you.

i hate fucking watermelons, honey dew melons are nice, but watermelons— blech. the only good thing about watermelon is the white bit after you’ve ate the flesh, the whitish bit near the skin makes your dick hard, so eat that best you can.

Ha, in actuality, i may be the sanest person here; we live in a world of strange unforgivable extremes which seek to butt fuck us at every opportunity. my life for one is quickly spiraling into a mountainous pile of maggot infested gangrenous pustules, and for the life of me i can’t fathom why. i’ve since come to the appreciation that our life is in effect the means and method of our very own demise, gander that; your life will be your eventual downfall and at every turn it will torture you until death. of course there will be moments of seeming bliss, and joy, but they’re fleeting and seeming. the true parts of our life are the down and out painful moments— sad, miserable and excruciating. These are the real bits of our existence. And as bad as they would seem, i appreciate the god awful times than the moments of fleeting bliss, because the bliss weakens you to the truth; which is, you are going to die a painful and horrific end and there is nothing you can do about it, but lo, i will do something. Out of spite i shall continue, i shall not go quietly into oblivion, i shall not allow the emptiness in my soul to consume me completely, for this is my passion, and by this black fire, i burn, hear me cackle in the icy heat.

NBC coodah ben mor rasist if they said the word niggah.

Smh,, the friend chicken shit doesnt bother most niggahs you lame white breads, but i feel what you was saying Joseph.

These kids are not built for the knowledge and truth. I think you went over their head my brotha.

Joseph when your in NYC my look me up brotha,

and when you’re in nassau bahamas, fuck off!!!!

Philly stand up,

You guys still on that free Mumia rant, I want him to get a new trial, but that is unlikely. I dont even think that Obama has the guts to give Mumia a new trial.

Look, when you are a alleged cop killer, it is an uphill battle and you cant get mad at Questlove for not wanting to get involved in that firestorm. But, I do agree with you Philly stand up, that if Quest love is going to open his mouth about this, he should also open his mouth about Mumia and the injustice that was dealt to that man or at least make a stand to do the show for Mumia.

It’s funny that Mumia cant even get a new trial to reexamine the evidence to see if what happened indeed happened, yet we have cops who can fatally kill an innocent man while being reckless and not see prison time.

Its the court system and their combative nature, you have a defense attorney and a prosecutor who compete for justice, rather than a collaborative group who try to find the truth. So is the court system really justice of vengeance my brotha.

Philly, I hear you on Mumia, he got the shaft on that one, and all we ask for is a reexamination of the evidence.

I really hope you have better things to do than misspell while writing a blog entry that I guess you’re trying to express your anger in. Black History is daily not just a month. If he (Questlove) was offended, that’s just his emotion. Not all black people feel the same. He completely had the right to express it, it is HIS twitter. Why should it bother you?

Whoever posted this story is an fucking idiot, and CLEARLY has social problems. Lmfao cuz the douche got blocked from ?uestlove’s Twitter. Whattaloser and closet racist!

It probably is racist but I would still order it. That shit sounds tasty.

Im proud of my blackness 365 days a year. I m not defined by my race but Im not mad at it either. Dammit I want every thing on that menu and Im not ashamed to say it. Food is food. Some may be considered “black” but whatever. If you let the type of food you eat define you then you are less intelligent a person than you think you may be.

Jelani, what the fuck are you talking about not defined by race or not mad at it, your ass is defined by race when you step into an office for a job interview

Ridicule is Ridicule, maybe he feels that it is warranted, Italians were upset at the Jersey Shore and the way it represented Italian Americans. They were right about the Jersey Shore’s depiction of Italian Americans and they had a right to be upset because that show was a travesty, but to come on here and say you’re not defined by ethnicity is comedy.

Jelani, I know you mean well, but if you want to sit down and eat with a big ass clown hat on your head while others laugh at you, be my guest. But there are others that dont want to do that, we had 400 years of that shit.

The joke was harmless but the dude had a right to be upset.

When Italian Americans were upset about the Jersey Shore I didn’t come on here and say they shouldn’t. If Italian Americans had a legitimate gripe which they did than they had a legitimate gripe.

I agree with the brotha on Mumia Abu Jamal, he did not get a fair trial and was beaten by cops when he tried to help his brother in the aftermath.

That’s fuckin America for you, the guy was a community organizer and a black panther, so they made sure Mumia wasn’t given a fair trial. Funny thing is that we lost Doctor King and a lot of good Black Panther brothas who could today have helped the problematic youth, but the system constantly tried to stop the civil rights movement and the Black Panther party movement and now Mumia is in prison because of it.

Supposedly Mumia is a cop killer, but I never knew a DA who was so sure of a conviction not allow for another trial to disprove skeptics. Everyone who saw the trial knew he wasn’t given a fair trial but it’s political, so it is what it is.

I wish they would have put a brotha in office with some balls because these kids in the inner-city can’t even get books to read in schools and they are cutting after school programs for the inner-city youth, but the U.S. can spend billions rebuilding Iraq. Isn’t that some shit; here in NYC we have about 2 predominantly black schools closing down because of the budget. I have never heard of schools closing in white neighborhoods but that is America. I don’t even think Bloomberg would think about closing Jewish schools, the friggin idiot runs NYC like it is his business, not realizing that he is dealing with real lives on a larger scale.

Where’s the chitlins and grape soda?

Arggh Barbra where are you, my dick waits for your mouth.

This is no more racist than a cafeteria serving tacos for Cinco de Mayo.
