Give Us A
Break...
About Fried Chicken!
We say, "Give us a break, Paula
Harris" (President of the NAACP) ... on her little foray into
publicity by requesting Giant to take a sign down saying they had a
special on Fried Chicken in honor of Black History Week.
I suppose "Soul Food" is taboo too, right?
I suppose Corned Beef and Cabbage specials are taboo on days
honoring Irish Heritage??
I suppose Spaghetti and Meat Balls specials are taboo on days
honoring Italian Heritage??
We’re not really defending Giant Food Stores, but to make a
public commotion about Fried Chicken is a bit much!
Ms. Harris evidently has some kind of plan in mind to seek public
office, or something like that, because otherwise this kind of
publicity probably would not have been undertaken.
It should not have been.
