Common black food stereotypes are: Chicken, Ribs, Watermelon, hot sauce, waffles (usually chicken AND waffles together), Kool Aid, seet potato pie, and most pork products. Putting such items on Obama "memes" is eluding to the ethnic stereotypes of black Americans.Samuel wrote:Watermelons are associated with blacks in the United States.Artemas wrote:As a quick aside...
What the fuck is up with all the watermelons? (and the other food on the food stamp thing, other than fried chicken)
Is it implied that watermelons are somehow in the realm of poor blacks or something?
I don't get the ribs, but Cool-aid is associated with "drinking the cool-aid" aka being indoctrinated.

Re: Collection of Scary Right-Wing Quotes/Events
Man, looking at these quotes, I can see how batshit insane these right-wingers are. I mean many of these things are almost outright treasonous. I really hate the way these right-wingers use faux-Patriotism just to forward their own selfish agenda instead of supporting their fellow countrymen and women by helping to alleviate their suffering. But to them, suffering of their own countrymen won't matter, because at the end of the day all they care about is their money.
I guess that saying of "Fascism will comes to the USA in a Bible Wrapped in the Flag" has truth behind it.

Wait, wait- waffles are considered black food? How?
Or they believe what they are saying and want to take their country back for real Americans. Which makes them scarier. After all corporitists can be bribed- fanatics less so.Man, looking at these quotes, I can see how batshit insane these right-wingers are. I mean many of these things are almost outright treasonous.

I don't know why, but in most of the US Chicken & Waffles is "Soul Food".General Zod wrote:You can probably thank Quaker Oats for that one.Samuel wrote:![]()

It's because the foods generally date back to southern food, and also poor food in the south, eaten by blacks and poor whites. However, the poor whites generally didn't want to be seen as poor and thus pretended the food eaten by poor people were black only. That at least is how it probably started, considering the culture of the US South post-civil war and pre- was defined by lower-class whites denying they had anything in common with blacks.
