Title: Two Black Cooks Fired For Making "Racist" Black History Month Meal

'Insensitive' Black History Month Meal At NYU Sparks Outrage, Firing

(https://i.imgur.com/qEuCWGo.jpg)

Two Aramark employees have been fired by the food service after preparing a meal at NYU during Black History Month that was deemed racially "insensitive." Reports suggest that the employees are African-American, though Aramark has not confirmed details about the ethnicity of the fired employees.

According to CBS News, the two employees were fired as a result of a complaint by a sophomore, who says she confronted the head cook about the "racially insensitive" meal but was "lied to" and ultimately "ignored." The meal, the student claimed in a Facebook post, consisted of barbecue ribs, collard greens, watermelon-flavored water, Kool-Aid, and mac and cheese.

"Sophomore Nia Harris, who is black, said the head cook dismissed her objections and told her black employees planned the menu," reports CBS News. "She posted about the menu and her experience on Facebook, saying she 'was lied to, placated, and ignored.'"

"This is what it's like to be a black student at New York University," Nia wrote in her Facebook post. "You go to a dining hall during February and you see 'Black History Month Meal' plastered outside the entrance. You walk inside the dining hall only to find ribs, collard greens, and mac and cheese.

"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."

Both Nia and The New York Times noted that the head cook told her black people planned the menu. "The head cook also told Ms. Harris that the employees who planned the menu were black," reports the Times.

"I talked to the head cook who told me 'black people put this menu together' and assured me that it was not racially insensitive," Nia said.

It's a serious question. Why are black foods so offensive? Italians don't get offended with pizza, Indians don't get offended with curry, Canadaians with bacon etc..

I read this story....

I didn't see the issue with the menu (the ribs, mac n cheese, etc. all sounded good tbh) until I got to the kool-aid and watermelon flavored water. :udontlookok:

People just need to put some time aside to develop common sense.

After slaves were emancipated, a lot of southern blacks sold homegrown watermelons and or her fruits and made good money doing so. This, of course, became a running joke amongst white people and after years of seeing it minstrel shows and movies, watermelon became synonymous with black people.

Thank you! So why not capitalize off of this now? It seems like a guilty pleasure of black people but there's nothing to feel guilty about. It's an amazing fruit AND provided income to their families..

i saw that, but then I remember movies like Soul Plane, Friday, PhatGirlz

I think as a result of normalizing those stereotypes for comedy. They have in fact become just as common as the abbreviated version of the N-Word

Now there?s this huge disparity about what?s offensive and what?s not imo

I think it really depends on the setting.

If I were at a family cookout and there was kool-aid and watermelon juice on the table I wouldn't be up in arms about it.

But if I'm at my job and they throw me a birthday party with grape flavored koolaid ...telling me they knew I'd love it when they never saw me drinking it before, it's a different ballgame now.

and also in parts of Africa it is looked upon as the ?ultimate food?
Because in places where they are poorer.. they eat watermelon because it is filling.. keeps u quenched and gives u all the nutrients u need to survive

Watch Ryan Coogler?s interview about going to Africa.

He said this key point:

?I was in Africa, and I mentioned To Africans that America makes fun of Black people for liking Watermelon?.

?The African responded by saying, why Would they make fun of you for that? Watermelon is nutrious and good for your body, thats nothing to be ashamed of?

Enough said.

Let white people eat their bland ass food lol. My Granny couldnt cook for shit.

I read this story....

I didn't see the issue with the menu (the ribs, mac n cheese, etc. all sounded good tbh) until I got to the kool-aid and watermelon flavored water. :udontlookok:

People just need to put some time aside to develop common sense.
!!!

Exactly.
:dead: did you fully understand Afro?s Post?
I understood completely. Watermelon juice and Kool Aid are completely inappropriate but my question pertained to watermelon individually and Soul Foods as a whole..

Poor timing on my part but yea, I was asking solely about watermelon the fruit. I just feel like black foods have such a negative connotation and I don?t understand why.

The Kool Aid is the only thing I'm side eyeing.

You can find the rest of those items on Black Twitter around Thanksgiving with the caption, "you're not Black if you don't know how this tastes" or criticizing whites for not knowing how to cook it "right."

Why is watermelon a negative association? It's fckn delicious. :uhh:

After slaves were emancipated, a lot of southern blacks sold homegrown watermelons and or her fruits and made good money doing so. This, of course, became a running joke amongst white people and after years of seeing it minstrel shows and movies, watermelon became synonymous with black people.

:receipts:
Thank you. Smh

Tacos! Italian food! it?s not the same, Bow. read up on the history


Ya know, it's not our fault for eating delicious foods... It's white people's fault for shaming blacks for being able to be paid to use the skills they had that they once had to do for free.

We really should be upset that white people have worked so hard to put a negative connotation to almost everything that we do.  "Look at them eating!" "They have made up names." All their names were once made up, too.

Exactly!! It?s like black people should be ashamed of every food they?ve made and crafted. What makes the origin of cornbread so difffernt from the way garlic knots were created? I guarantee if you try to ?make fun? of food from any other culture, they?ll turn it around and make a way to profit from it.
