Yep we all know the sterotype that Blacks love watermellon, ribs and fried chicken, but is this really offensive. Why is Mohammad Pita Hut (Kabobs), Liberman's Dehli, Guiliani's Pizza. Spartcus's Gyros, Ming Dynasty's Chinese Food, Samuri Sam's etc also not offensive? Firs I want to point out a AFRICAN-AMERICAN chose the name of the restaurant. It's a BLACK owned restaurant! How is this any different than Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles!
