Fried chicken, collard greens for MLK Day
Denver Public Schools lunch menu on January 15 "In Honor of M.L.King" features "Southern Style" chicken, collard greens and sweet potatoes. Apparently, some people have a problem with this.
According to the King Center in Atlanta, Fried Chicken and Collard greens really was MLK's favorite meal.
But there's no real "win" here. There's no appeasing the politically sensitive race-baiters. When I lived in Dallas, the PC crowd determined that they would not serve fried chicken and watermelon at the Juneteenth celeberation. Why? Because they wanted to be poltically correct. And guess what? The blacks at the celebration were furious. They wanted fried chicken and watermelon. So, what end is really served by not putting fried chicken on the menu?
They say "truth" is the ultimate defense against libel, but truth is no defense against being politically insensitive. The only option is to apologize over and over again until the camera shift's it's gaze to a less fortunate, less sensitive victim.
You can't win. When the politically correct come calling, you cannot win.
