I prefer the waffle-gyro fried chicken and syrup wrap concept, if the waffles are big and floppy like that.Quote:

I don't know why they'd apologize. Fried chicken and waffles sounds delicious.
Political correctless is such a bitch.
Beyond cruelty, the extremely mutated and perverse nature by which those chickens are grown and harvested should make most everybody not want to eat that bullshit (not to mention the absurd amount of tap water they inject into the food you get at the store )Quote:

Am I vegetarian? No. I have filet mingon, salmon, and chicken in my freezer right this second. Is eating a fuck ton of vegetables the best way to have energy all day long? Yes.
lol Moral bullshit. You should just look at the pictures and decide for yourself. I'll eat that kfc crap once in a while, and shitty gas station beef jerky and all that bullshit.
But at least I'm not talking shit to the people who cant stomache the facts the way I can, meanwhile not even looking at the reality of the situation. Looking at the KFC slaughterhouses is like watching a horror movie. Do it, then talk some shit if you want. Until then you are a bitch.
hey man I was really not being serious. its definitely cruel... pretty nasty too. not eating it is reasonable and understandable.
just exagerating the point that almost everyone likes fried chicken, even people who don't eat it can like it. definitely far from a black thing.
I hate friend chicken.Quote:

But basically, we understand that chicken is universal. The universe includes Holland. Slavery is not universal, but the Dutch were evil slavers, who also brushed their teeth with urine, and they lived near belgium, where they had waffles. It's very possible that they fed their slaves chicken and waffles.
Shouldn't the school be applauded for serving fried chicken on MLK day? Seriously, fried chicken and waffles? That school is bad ass. Our greatest hope were those octagonal Mexican pizzas when it came to noon-slop. And besides, doesn't this country have enough white-guilt as is? If I was a kid, I'd happily eat that for school lunch all of February. Stop thinking of it as racial... it's celebratory!

Everyone eats fried chicken but only black people get made fun of for it.
They're always trying to sneak something in on us. Don't act like this article is making something outta nothing.
Not sure if serious...Quote:

No doubt about it being good food but here in the US it always seems like there's some hidden agenda.
Before I left Germany to move back to the states a racist coworker of mine(believe me he was as racist as can be) had a one on one with me. He basically wanted to know what "code words/phrases", "acronyms", "signals", "slurs"etc. do we have that signify white people. I looked at him and told him that I had absolutely no clue other than the 2 known words. He told me that he didn't believe me because he knew all the ones for us and that their had to be just as many for him. I kept telling him and he still wouldn't believe me and seemed pretty determined.
Basically to summarize what I'm trying to say, it reminded me how much hidden racism this country has. I've been away in Europe for a while and haven't really had to deal with it so kinda forgotten. But when he said that it just opened everything back up.
The problem is because it's so hidden that you can't really tell if it's genuine or a mockery. Puts us in a situation where we can be perceived as being overly sensative.
p.s. when I was living in Montana they kids at school used to call me "Casper". I was pretty oblivious to it until I guess they couldn't take it anymore and decided to just come out and openly switch it with the "n-word".
^^^^
I agree with you. But I think even when its a mockery, there is usually a kernel of genuine malice.
White American people crave black culture because theirs is, for the most part, completely awful and worthless. African American culture, to be specific, is the most emulated culture on the planet, all over the world. Its even made a huge impact on the modern Africa. The only thing even coming close is house/techno/trance music.
So whites in the USA bump lowest common denominator superficial rap music, fuck their girlfriends to it, talk in the best ghetto slang they can to make jokes (because they are not funny), and then still make racist jokes, lock their car windows/doors, walk across the street from blacks, etc etc etc.
Sometimes white people think they can say extremely racist shit as long as its in the context of a 'joke' but secretly its because they are obsessed with 'the other' and still think its funny that they have the social 1-up.
Oh well. I've never felt like an average 'white' person, and its because Im not.
If you'd of held a student vote at my high school "would you like us to serve fried chicken ?" it would have won by a minimum of 90% yes.
However, if the school just up and did it one day there would be a public reaction of "95% black school, they started serving fried chicken, clearly racist move".
The bottom line was, the students at my school by vast majority wanted fried chicken, but they couldn't get it. Giving the students what they wanted would be taken as being "racist" towards them.
And yeah, what gets stereotyped as "black" food (soul food) isn't a black thing. It's a southern thing.
would it be racist to serve tacos on cinco de mayo?
that's usually the case and is fairly easy to spot but sometimes the shit is well hidden. I mean just look at this one for example. "Dan" is a pretty common name. As a matter of fact it's my name but it also happens to be an acronym for "Dumb Ass Nigger". I thought it was pretty funny when I found out about it but if I'm out and about and get confronted with a situation where it gets used then I'm a "wtf" situation. I could get hit with "why do ya'll always pull the race card" or I can just swallow it and keep going.Quote:

No bartender here would ever dare do that shit. In the US racism is alive and well, but openly being racist can bring hell upon you. You can get fired, you can get your company sued out the ass, you can draw media attention. Highly racist people have to subtle and know when it's safe and not safe to openly be racist.
The vibe I got in many parts of Ireland and Scotland was, being openly racist = nothing can happen to you. Or if it could, they didn't seem to give a shit.
This is quite an eye-opener Spin. It makes me want to go beat the shit outta some racists. And living in the capital of Tennessee....it'd be pretty easy to do.Quote:

I was once crazy about this gothy girl, went on a few dates and even slept with her , then one day we finally came around to a conversation that exposed her as a neo fucking nazi..... she had all her hair... no swastika tattoo's or anything like that, we never talked about race related things so I had no clue up to that point.
I was pretty sad, she was hotter than most of the girls I'd been with up to that point :(
That is so right. This country is different. It's racist past pretty much has it by the balls. It causes so many problems and confusion.Quote:

The thing is that you can't do that. It's not like every white person is racist. Shit half the time white people are just as oblivious to the terminology as black people are so that's where that conflict comes from. You can never tell if it means something or not.Quote:

One too many "you don't belong here cracker, leave or get your ass beat down" chased them off.
I never did leave and could have easily left with a belief of "fuck black people, most hate us anyways, so why bother being nice to people who hate your guts ?"
I didn't though because I didn't let the negatives over take the positives. Most my friends were black and they didn't buy into to that shit. Hell, they even took shit for having white friends. They got called sell out, especially the black girls I dated.
In the end, the negatives will always be in your memory, but you can't let them eat away at you. There's no shortage of good people here, but sometimes you gotta step around a lot of shit to find them.
