Interesting, I work for a large company and since it black history month they have made done the same thing for the lunches on Wednesday. Yes fortunate enough to work at place that still serves us lunches for free. They served that same meal except they called it country chicken. Plus they also post why the meal was chosen and its significance within the black culture. I love Wednesdays and me and my buddy eight ball always go to town.

As for ignorance. Every other month is Caucasian month. All celebrated holidays are Caucasian. Love your heritage, share your heritage, enjoy others heritage. Remember ignorance is not hereditary but a choice.

when we would celebrate black history month at the place i used to work at we would have a potluck the first friday of february. most of the people that brought something in were black. there was alot of cornbread, chicken, bbq ribs, hushpuppies, hot links etc...gotta say its some of the best tasting food ive ever had.

when we celebrated cinco de mayo we would do the same potluck thing and i would bring in tacos, tortas, enchiladas, burritos etc...cause thats what us mexicans eat.

if you walk into a soulfood restaurant you'll see things on the menu that you wont see elswhere..so i guess thats why they are considered "black" foods. (i dont know about that whole grape kool-aid thing though)

i dont see why you should get offended because they associate you with a particular kind of food. i certainly wouldnt get offended if someone made a comment about me eating tacos and bean burritos.

just out of curiosity..if indeed there was a caucasian history month..what would be on that menu?
