I already answered this but my original post got deleted because of ol' dude that put up that pic of the white dudes picking cotton. They could have chosen food from the continent of Africa or from the Caribbean. If they wanted to keep it domestic they could have done a quick generic search of "soul food recipes" and pulled a giant list of dishes such as but most certainly not limited to Oxtails with Gravy, Authentic Louisiana Red Beans and Rice, Down-Home Black-Eyed Peas, Kentucky Biscuits, Fried Okra, or Old Charleston Style Shrimp and Grits. Instead, they did they obvious chicken and watermelon. Black History month isn't about just African Americans but all Africans. That's why people like Marcus Garvey, a native of Jamaica, and people like Shaka Zulu, whose empire is located in present day South Africa, are mentioned.Ok so watermelon is what set people over the edge? Cool. I see the point here but I don't understand what they could have served other than Southern Slave food.
don't play obtuse. You of all people know better than that. It's not the food it's the intent.But watermelon is from Africa
it is lolThe more I think about it, I think it is the watermelon that put it over the top
this is lunch at a school lunch though, they're not going to attempt to figure out how to make these authentic soul food recipes. even if they did very few people are going to be buying a oxtail lunch over fried chicken, there is no point for them to put in extra effort to make a food most people wont want to try. its like how if they were to do something for chinese new years they would just make orange chicken or something even though thats an american dish.I already answered this but my original post got deleted because of ol' dude that put up that pic of the white dudes picking cotton.

The song you hear every hot day when the ice cream truck is in the neighborhood smh White ppl love to throw rocks and then hide their hands. This is blatantly offensive, only thing that would have made it worse is them serving a 40 ounce on the side.
Why even serve food to pay homage? Why not teach the students about ACTUAL black history instead of a struggle meal?
This. Especially the last part. It ain't THAT big of deal to me but it's obvious what they were trying to do. Anybody that can't see it is either playing dumb or don't get it.
native americans would find it offensive that they got left out

BTW I said Asian, show some respect to the rest of the orientals.
Wasn't that the point of coming up with race in the first place?
Do people not know the word "oriental" is offensive?
Thats because its racist.
yeah i know
point is there will always be people that get offended
as in if you are doing something racist towards a bunch of groups of people, the group that was left out would be offendedThats because its racist.
