?uestlove Tweeted this pic from the NBC studios earlier this week claiming he was insulted or something by the racial insensitivity over at NBC for making a special meal for Black History Month. The chef who come up with the conceptual lunch, is black and even she didn't understand the controversy surrounding her soul food. My only argument here is, how can food make someone so upset? If there was an Italian History month, and they served gnocchi with marinara sauce at my work, I'd be stoked and pleased to eat it. I guess there can be that argument collard greens and fried chichen aren't black food, but you can also throw around the argument that pasta isn't Italian. Also, wouldn't you agree with me that this is definitely a menu you would find at a "soul food" restaurant, and most soul food places are run and owned by black people? Let's just let food be. Be happy you have a meal to eat and not cry about it being racist. I guess the looming worldwide food shortages and much more prevalent food riots taking place around the world have been on my mind and causing me to defend my favorite necessity, food.
If you don't agree with me, I'd love to hear your comments. I'm not Black, so I may be missing something here that would cause someone to be upset.
