WHOOPS

The Roots’ Questlove tweeted this picture taken from the NBC cafeteria today. And I’d like to state for the record that I think fried chicken and collard greens sound like an absolutely delicious lunch, but it’s probably the wrong idea to say that it’s a special “in honor of Black History Month.”
However, I do find it fitting that Black Eyed Peas are part of something that’s offensive to black people.

Fried chicken, watermelon, collard greens, ribs, cornbread, catfish — I don’t know what it’s like to be black, but if I ever had to pretend any of those things weren’t delicious so as not to fall into a stereotype, that would suck.
Did you see their menu for African history month?
Here it is:
In honor* of Black History Month does the white rice get served first and on a separate plate?
*I’d usually spell that “honour”. Now “collard” I’d have gotten embarrassingly wrong if I’d ever had an occasion to use it before.
NBC is so cheap that they didn’t even make any pig’s feet.
I find the lack of ‘hocakes’ disturbing, hos gotta eat too.
What you can’t see, in the small print, is where it says that this meal is only being served in the bottom of a big, old ship.
That looks like an extremely legit sign… totally real… definitely not made up as a joke.
I just hope the chicken isn’t being supplied by Popeye’s

They did this one year when I was in college and I was furious. Or I would have been, but that was some good-ass yardbird.
… i loves me some fried chicken
At CBS, in honor of Black History Month, the laugh track for How I Met Your Mother has been replaced by yells of “OH NO HE DIDN’T!” and “GIRL YOU CRAZY!”
In honor of black history month, I got into an small argument with someone that stepped on my shoe and I quickly escalted it into a drive by shooting.
When did Fuzzy Zoeller start working in the NBC cafeteria?
The only thing offensive about that sign is that nobody is going to get to eat that meal because NBC doesn’t accept food stamps.
A very large international corporation did this last year, too. I’d eat the hell out of that menu.
If you think that’s bad, in honor of Black History Month all the cars in my office parking lot had their stereos stolen.
I’ve never quite understood why this offensive.
Why are African Americans the only race you can’t associate food with?
Signed,
Italians, Greeks, Ukrainians, ect…
SUGAR! WATER! PURPLE!
Jeff Zucker clearly has not exhausted his supply of terrible ideas. I expect to hear a lot of outraged discussion about this during the next movie I see in Inglewood.
BET sees nothing wrong with this.
bet it was that uppity funnyman Tracy Morgan. He’s so zany urban!
Instead of the comments that will probably come from this post can we just debate whether Jessica Alba is correct in tweeting that The Roots are the best late night band ever? My penis, uh I mean vote, is with Jessica
Where da watermelon and purple drank at?!!
