By: Tommy Sotomayor

So why the hell are blacks worried about what white people think about the things we eat? F*ck em!  No one eats more chicken than white people anyway!

But what happened to there is only racism in the south?  I will just let you know that the biggest racist are Liberals they just work hard as hell to try to pretend that they are not!  Watch the story below and decide if you would be offended!

Administrators at a Northern California private school are facing tough questions and offering a big apology after a menu controversy.

Students at Carondelet High School for Girls in Concord wanted to come up with ways to celebrate Black History Month in a lunchtime celebration. But when the Christian school announced a lunch of fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon, students and parents were outraged and offended.

The principal and dean of the school refused to talk to NBC Bay Area on Wednesday, but school officials held an assembly on campus to discuss the issue and sent an apology letter to parents.

“I’d like to apologize for the announcement and any hurt this caused students, parents or community members,” Principal Nancy Libby said in the letter. “Please know that at no time at Carondelet do we wish to perpetrate racial stereotypes.”

University of San Francisco professor James Taylor said he can see why some students and teachers would be offended, even though the lunch may have been well intentioned.

Several students told NBC Bay Area that Libby talked to members of the Black Student Union on campus and the students suggested that the watermelon be taken off the menu.

Libby agreed to make that change, they said. She also said in a letter to the school community that they will remove fried chicken and cornbread from the menu.

In addition, the campus plans to hold a diversity assembly for faculty and students, Libby said in the letter.

Parents interviewed by NBC Bay Area said they hope the incident will become a teachable moment for everyone involved.
