1. There is no "defense" for racism.

Period.

2. I'm Glad They Tried...

everyday they are exposed for the extremist hatefilled liars they are.

It's why we have a mandate over the right wing and we will win this time.

3. I don't care for watermelon all that much,

but I do like fried chicken!

I say we all have chicken-n-ribs-n-cornbread-n-watermelon election night parties/picnics!

5. You know, for all it's racial connotations...

A Chicken, Ribs, cornbread, and watermelon meal sounds DAMN tasty to me :)

[Recursion]

7. Funny, where I grew up, that's "white" food

As opposed to chitlins and greens. Though I suppose watermelon always had that connotation. But, damn, watermelon is good on a summer evening.

6. Me too... say, the last time I was at Popeyes (sorry don't do KFC),

I think the entire line was littered with mini-vans, suv's and it looked multi-colored/ cultural to me.. So, are white people not to eat watermelon, ribs, fried chicken.. now, I married a southern boy, those along with collard greens and corn bread (and if in low country--shrimp n'grits) are a common staple... I just don't get how they aren't offending southern people in general? Oh, btw, its not KFC in the south, its Church's Chicken (popeye's is the closest to the house, so I sacrifice going there instead of KFC) but in South Carolina, that was the place to get your chicken.

8. Church's is just nasty!

Popeyes is unspeakably awesome. Sadly, the closest one is an hour away, outside of Fenway Park.

17. Church's is my fav. But I'm perfectly happy with kfc or popeye's.

[Retrograde]

11. Nah, watermelon's an outdoor food

strictly for picnics, so you can spit the seeds out. A little too messy for election night.

Otherwise, sounds good. If I give you my fried chicken can I have your watermelon?

[Tansy_Gold]

15. It's a deal!

'course here in AZ, those who want to can eat watermelon and spit seeds outside in November. And december. And January. . . . . .

[Window]

14. LOL! Sounds good to me.

4. "let's face it, many blacks think everything is racist."

"And the people they spoke to in the CNN story didn't think it was racist either other than the black woman who thought it was and let's face it, many blacks think everything is racist."


truly frightening

18. Standard view of white folks.

[Top Cat]

9. Pure racism

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Maybe we should put out a Depends and pureed food flyer for McCain.

13. Black is white. Up is down. Day is night.

16. Their site is called the tool box

lol

19. Obviously racist. The food stamp bit was bad enough, but at least that wouldve been debatable, since

dems are always accused of free handouts and what not... but to go beyond that and include blatant black stereotypes that have absolutely nothing to do with the democratic platform... well, it is obvious.
