NYU served ‘racially insensitive’ Black History Monthmeal
>New York University served up a “Black History Month” meal at one of its dining halls — complete with watermelon-flavored water and collard greens — and had to apologize when students called the school out for playing into racist stereotypes.
>“This is what it’s like to be a black student at New York University…” she wrote. “In 2018, I literally had to explain why displaying watermelon and koolaid in celebration of Black History Month was not only racially insensitive but just ignorant.”
>“I’ve wanted to go to NYU since I was in 7th grade, and it breaks my heart that at this allegedly “diverse” and “global” institution, black students are faced with issues like this one,” she wrote.
>“If you want to learn how to celebrate Black history and culture during this month you can ask the black students at this school instead of patronizing us with Koolaid, watermelon and ribs,” she wrote.
>is it racist to eat food? We're reaching autism levels that shouldn't be possible
Carter Morgan
>i dont like that we did this thing before so it's racist whats so bad about liking watermelon. it's a fact that black people ate watermelons back in the day so whats the big deal?
Parker Scott
Who the fuck bitches about watermelon and bbq ribs. Two of the tastiest foods you can have
Jordan Adams
Shieeet pepo e tasty
Josiah Morris
>I literally had to explain why displaying watermelon and koolaid in celebration of Black History Month was not only racially insensitive but just ignorant. Yeah but it's true. There's no haut cuisine for black people in america. Black Food is really good though, it's comfort food. Fried Chicken for example. It's like if there was Ramen at a Japanese fest, Japs wouldnt get uppity

Jesus was a jew and you're all heritics for not worshipping Zeus/Ivpiter/Tiwar/Dyeus Pater
Carter Jenkins
>racist stereotypes >traditional Southern food >because most blacks lived in the South >inappropriate for Black History Month
Landon Cook
Jokes on you I was only pretending to be Christian
Bentley Edwards
my work had fried chicken, green beans and jambalaya for lunch yesterday for black history month. no body cared.
Ethan Hall
Watermelon originated in Southern Africa. Sooooooooooooooooo it’s their melon
Lincoln Jenkins
Black people love watermelon. The only reason they act offended when wipipo bring it up as a stereotype is to fuck with them since they know they can.
Brayden White
>if there was Ramen at a Japanese fest, Japs wouldnt get uppity Being black is inherently embarassing, so anything that references it will be considered offensive by a significant fraction of blacks.
Ryder Hall
Can somebody give me a quick rundown on why watermelons are racist?
Jacob Ortiz
>, I literally had to explain why displaying watermelon and koolaid in celebration of Black History Month was not only racially insensitive but just ignorant.” >literally
Is it me or is this word used for everything now? Surely, just describing what she did was enough? I would never have assumed she had done it figuratively, like.
Is it me, or does the whole world use "literally" for fucking everything?
shut your fucking mouth your going to blow it. they wont eat watermelon and that means more for us. they wont drink koolaid that means they drink tap water and that shits toxic
Isaac Reyes
>black students are faced with issues like this one Oh no! Now i understand how difficult these poor oppressed offspring of royalty truly have it in drumpfs america
Mason Brooks
>Fried Chicken >Black Cuisine
The day of rake cannot come soon enough leaf.
James Bailey
>is it racist to eat other culture food? no

Cooper Powell
OH GOLLY MASSA IS DAT SUM WATAMELON I SEE SIRRAH MMM MMM MASSA ILL BE WORKIN HARD TODAY IF YOU GIMME SUMMADAT MELON OOOOO BOY
Just a reminder that slave owners fought and died for their right to own more of these and black people made watermelons a symbol of their freedom
Jacob Lopez
It could have been fried chicken with black eye peas with those greens. That there is a Black History month is offensive to me. Also that there are all black colleges, and a black only funding organization is racist. So this with can go screw herself. I swear we are dealing with grown children today.
Kevin Nguyen
They could hardly barbeque another African, could they? What else do they eat
Samuel Russell
That sounds wonderful.
Brayden King
Spoken like a non-southern black person.
Bentley Nelson
sleep tight birdo
Jose Perez
>get a whole fucking month dedicated to you because you're brown >still complain
Joseph Rivera
>Is it me or is this word used for everything now? Yes it literally is sir.
Logan Martinez
>“This is what it’s like to be a black student at New York University…”
oh woe is me. fucking spoiled nigger bitch. i'd love to go to nyu. i'd have loved to had just a chance to go to nyu. i'd even put up with all the kill whitey "diversity" classes. why are whites fragile again? this nigger is going to a top university. has the nerve to get offended during black history month over a meal made for black people. ungrateful apes.
>Be me >go to HBC (historically black college) >school is 90% black >they literally have fried chicken friday >there was always water melon available in the warmer months
It's just the best tasting food.
Kayden Jenkins
If liking watermelon, collard greens, and ribs makes you black, then I are the niggest.
Matthew Edwards
As a white American, I must agree that I find hot dogs, hamburgers, and beer terribly offensive. Anyone who thinks white people eat and drink these things is ignorant. Also, trucks and guns are a racist stereotype. Very few white people like trucks.
Jaxon Adams
Everything is racist. who cares. i swear to god if you started lynching random niggers, and you said "I'm lynching these niggers because I hate niggers", some retarded American would feel the need to point out the fact that it was racist.
Hudson Gray
I bet they actually did ask students and they all DID ask for koolaid, watermelons and ribs.
Carson Reed
...
Oliver Wright
>tfw no one acknowledges that niggers stole their food from southerners
Nigs act like this style of food belongs to them. It's not black food, it's southern food.
Oliver White
Me too. Made some dirty rice that has collards, tomato ,and some cheese with garlic butter. I eat the collards often in many ways, they are good for you, and tasty.
Christopher Campbell
What the fuck, Americans literally shouted "kielbasa" and "pierogis" when I told them I'm polish and nobody gave a shit. How can somebody get triggered over watermelon? Everybody loves it.
Bentley Perry
>soul food
even out west soul food is greens and fried chicken. Even in the north in baltimore its the same shit Even black twitter confirms this shit
don't know whats to be offended by offened for offense sake
These are just boushie ass black bitches looking for something to bitch about
Ryder Ortiz
specially when it's comped
Adam Thompson
Black people ate collard greens and watermelon because it was super cheap. It's part of their history. A lot of black food is cheap, slave food they smothered in spices.
Jonathan Anderson
Lmao who would complain about this White food sucks atm. Black soul food is great.
David Reed
This. They keep having to rebrand. Nigger, black, African-American, person of colour.
Isaiah Harris
>pic very related
Gabriel Mitchell
>White food sucks
I think you mean British food sucks.
Samuel Lewis
Same with Mexican food. It's poor farming people food. It provides sustenance to work the fields and it's tasty.
They're really good fried in bacon grease too with a spoonful of garlic powder.
Alexander King
>White food sucks atm. Italians are white.
Matthew Lewis
It's funny to me that you think that.
Nicholas Allen
I was at the candy store and these 2 black youths were there, out of the hundred of candy jugs available, they dipped and swiped watermelon sweets, joking about it.
I never believed in the memes until I saw it, wtf is in their genes to like watermelon that much?
Adrian Perry
I can't wait for race to not be sensationalized anymore
Jayden Perez
British food is great, fish and chips, mashed potato and gravy, roast dinner, baked potatoes
Aiden Smith
Black food culture >ribs - meat that has been cooked >fried chicken - meat that has been cooked >watermelon - a fruit, you eat it >collard greens - like a shit cabbage, that has been cooked
Are there any black cultural foods that are actual dishes instead of just a thing that may or may not have been heated up?
Adam Jackson
Because these people hate themselves and have also worked out that guilting white people about everything they do is a way to get free stuff and guaranteed positions for the black people trying to run away from black people
Jose Turner
Bet you they fucking ate it.
Bentley Ross
sausage rolls and pork pies. Top notch
Colton Phillips
>This is what it’s like to be a black student at New York University… Basically the negress just admitted she faces no real hardships and still has to quarrel about anything
Austin Bennett
You are talking about 80IQ people here that are let into college with a GPA of 1.5.
Joseph Gutierrez
The left doesn't get called out for autism enough. Another thing they project onto us and we allow it.
Dominic Bailey
>the perpetual victim strikes again The 56% face may as well be the symbol for these people as if it was used like the happy merchant.
Robert Evans
Yep. They're like that in here in Tennessee too.
Benjamin Flores
That is Person of Collard when speaking about blacks please.
Kayden Perry
Ethiopian food is actually pretty good. Like, the delicious Ethiopian food in Ethiopian restaurants in the United States, not actual rotten dung in Ethiopia. African Americans though? No, they have no cultural food.
Colton Hill
>Early-1900s postcards often depicted African Americans as animalistic creatures "happy to do nothing but eat watermelon" – a bid to dehumanize them.[7] Other such "Coon cards" >Coon Cards
HOW CAN WE MEME THESE BACK INTO REALITY?!
Connor Anderson
These are NYU affirmative action college niggers, so they think they are higher class than normal niggers. So they get offended when you offer them normal nigger food, that's racist to assume that a college nigger would like watermelon just because she's a nigger, don't you know she's a COLLEGE nigger? You should assume she eats normal College-class food. That's what's really going on here. It is the same as if a rich white American went to a business meeting in Japan and they served him a hamburger or something but he gets all offended because he thinks burgers are beneath him so he lashes out and calls the Japs racist for assuming he'd like a burger like ORDINARY Americans. Also the bitch who complained and had to "literally explain why it is racist" probably wasn't even a nigger.
Liam Phillips
>nigger, colored person, black, african american, person of color FTFY
Robert Roberts
Ethiopians weren't slaves, also they don't think of themselves as west african niggers either Black history month means Blacks brought over from the slave trade history month
Anthony Cruz
cooking in general is pretty much heating things in fat and adding salt if you're going to be that reductive
Justin Hughes
basically this. they are the eternally ungrateful race >give niggers a bunch of free food they already enjoy eating >racist is there anything they won't complain about?
Nolan Moore
It looks obviously fake, I mean how can you honestly believe that someone cares so much about food? I know that those idiots consider it a serious issue, but it just seems so surreal.
I don't know the GPA system, but I'll just assume 1.5 is shit. What scares me is not the complete idiots that believe this shit, but the ones controlling them. There are people who spent a lot of time and resources conditioning niggers to be angry because of watermelons. It's true, yet absurd.
Samuel Stewart
>DASS A RACIST STEREOTYPE My apologies, please tell me your cultures food so I do not make this mistake in the future.
What would be considered appropriate food, do they have a culture?
Xavier Gomez
Also negro Constantly running from terms that become derogatory because of the people they’re used on
Ethan Brooks
What’s the back story
Benjamin Lopez
>make soul food for bhm racist >don't make soul food for bhm also racist
Levi King
> free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom they should try to reclaim it like they did with nigga they'd have to spell it a bit different tho. like wattamelan or make a special variety called watermelanin or summat
Charles Evans
>Just serve us regular food. We don't want to be discriminated against or treated differently. >Why are you ignoring Black History Month?!?!?! You should acknowledge and respect my race and heritage, bigoted fucks!!!!!
Caleb Nguyen
I think it’s a combination of genuine racial self-hatred (so these upper level blacks panic when treated like a normal black) and cynical offence-taking at all actions by white people in order to stay around white people by guilting them into keeping affirmative action
Matthew Ramirez
...
Nicholas Phillips
Or we could call it Welfare History Month.
Cooper Ortiz
And if you don’t give them African American food it’s structural racism because you’re not being accomodating
Connor Walker
>go to bar >bartender sees my red hair and pale complexion >asks me if I want a guinness >threaten to report him to the police >mfw I get a pint of guinness on the house god I fucking love guinness
Adam Perez
I'm not being reductive. Suggest to me a Black food that has some sort of extensive preparation, as would be involved in pastry, or involves considerable skill, like the making of a souffle or a good hollandaise sauce.
Justin Sullivan
I have no idea. Probably because peanut butter wasn't really invented by a nigger.
