Good for them, way to acknowledge black history and take back harmful stereotypes. Fried chicken does have its roots in African American history, it's just sensitive wokes in the past decades who have made the association a racist connotation. I'm sure that meal would have went over better with the kids than fried chitlins and collard greens.
Would have went? Seriously?
Come on bro, this is a thread about fried chicken. There are more important things to worry about than doing grammar good.
2) I didn't say my diet is fried chicken. I said I like fried chicken. I haven't had fried chicken in probably a year.
3) Finally, gotta throw healthy eating out the window SOMETIMES.
What do you eat Flagpole? Try to be honest.
1) There is no "try" with regard to being honest with me, there is only "do."
2) My diet has changed over the years. In most of my 30s, I was a vegetarian. I now am on the opposite spectrum (almost). Typically I eat two meals a day, and both are dominated by protein...usually meat (including fish), but sometimes just cheese and nuts. 5-6 days a week I eat ZERO or just about ZERO carbs. Today for lunch, for example, I had leftover beef with mushrooms. I typically have a a serving or two of vegetables with each meal. MOST of the time these vegetables are above-ground vegetables (so no carrots for example). Spinach, broccoli, peppers, cucumbers, brussels sprouts are the veggies I eat most of the time. I do not each much fruit these days. On the 2 days a week I might eat carbs, either we will get pizza that I might eat for dinner and then leftovers for lunch the next day, or we might make or get burgers with buns, or Chinese food that might include breading on chicken and/or noodles (including potstickers) or gyros or some other dinner out when I throw healthy eating out the window. In the last year, I have had a dessert maybe once a month.

You should always take grilled chicken over fried chicken for nutritional reasons. And it has nothing to do with cultural connotations.
I don't disagree. When I make chicken, it is either baked or made on the stove with olive oil (no breading of any kind).
I've never made fried chicken in my life, so if I ever have it, it's because we go get it or someone I know made it and had us over for dinner. I LOVE lots of different foods, and the ones that aren't good for me, I eat rarely.
Nothing like a bunch of white people lecturing us all on what black people should be sensitive about
Exactly. If there are any historians among us, they can tell you if you read historic Black newspapers from New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Los Angeles...
... they are full, in addition to Black news, politics, sports etc... CLUB & RESTAURANT ADS, including BBQ joints, chicken and waffle and other soul food establishments. Their appeal was obvious and their success a point of pride; a # of the proprietors at any given time were also WOMEN.
I once built a house in Jamaica. The crew of locals working for me loved, more than anything, watermelon and fried chicken. I’d ask them what they wanted for lunch and it always came back the same. Chickrn and watermelon. Black History Month is not what non-Blacks think it should or shouldn’t be due to stereotypes, which are often very accurate.
