Tell me you are kidding. You never heard of that stereotype until now?
I'm with syrenn. I've never heard of a stereotype that Only Black People eat Fried Chicken and Watermelon.
Jeebus...Colonel Saunders is a white guy who peddled fried chicken - that's my dominant childhood understanding of the importance of fried chicken: one can buy buckets full at KFC.
Well you'd have to be a little versed in American history to understand how offensive it is.
You see at the start of this country, the founders allowed slaves.
And those slaves were Black Americans.
That went on until around 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and the Conservatives of this nation decided to do what they do best, throw a reactionary fit. And that started the Civil War.
But that didn't end problems for Black Americans. Conservatives introduced Jim Crow laws in the south and basically stuffed Black Americans into crowded ghettoes through out most of the nation.
So Black Americans really sort of had a rough time of it here..and yeah, they get a little insulted about stereotypes.
That's never worked out to well.
