Pretty sure this isn't his first interview by the "news" because I saw him a few years back on another interview. "Hold up! Something ain't right!" Yes, he's been on television before as a witness
Where I work, we had a "soul food day" for black history month. Rather than buy catering, the company collected money from workers (it was an optional thing, the whole day was) and then gave that money to the 85 year old black cleaning lady from Georgia. She proceeded to make the best food I've ever eaten hahaha.
Bro at the beginning I genuinely thought this was real. The camera angle, the news reporter voice, the shots of the kitchen. This is made like a real news story.

So true! BBQ "anything", with cornbread, and collard greens?! My family has cooked like this my whole life, and getting a meal like that today is an absolute treat! Sounds more like true southern home cooking than racial insensitivity.
Who wouldn’t want some of the best southern food to be made for their lunch? Crazy that people would associate certain foods with races when it’s meant to be enjoyed by all.
@@iLoveLamp222 I love laughing at stereotypes no matter what they are. And before anyone gets offended because I am white, I'm also disabled and poor, love to joke about it too 🤣 Not very privileged I would say 😂😂
@@Roy_1 Exactly. No kid would.. they're literally teaching kids the racist stereotypes by promoting this nonsense, lol. Now, all of the kids are going to be saying it.
I'm a white guy, and I love chicken and waffles. I Also love sweet and sour pork, enchiladas, and cheese blintzes. Just because a certain ethnicity or culture develops a certain recipe, doesn't mean that other ethnicities and cultures can't enjoy it. Indeed, exposure to different cultures' foods can help bring them together in harmony. And on a side note, this lunch sounds better than the inedible crap that they served us when we were in school.
Yes, but if your views share in being prejudice against a culture but yet indulge in their cultural historic dishes then you are a hypocrite. Like if you have views against Mexicans, the people and their culture but still eat burritos and at Mexican restaurants then you are a special kind of clown. And just so you are aware, this is a fake video. This guy makes video pretending to be interviewed by the news station. This never happened, he was never interviewed. And also, just because one person is not offended does not give it a free pass or make it ok. It's common knowledge that black Americans are mocked and their food choices have been used as a tool to further dehumanize them. Watermelon and chicken have been used against black Americans and their culture and to shame them for enjoying simple foods.
I'm a white boy from the South. I'm even vegetarian now. But, sorry, chicken and watermelon is Southern food, regardless of race. I can't think of any family get together that lacked that. As G Reilly said, "Nobody smells fried chicken and thinks racism."
Yeah I am from Washington State but lived in Tennessee and Oklahoma while I was in the Army. People up here see this and think it's racist, everyone else just thinks it's lunch. The northwest is an annoying place to live, culturally.
Fried chicken and waffles was the white frat boy food for college roadhouses in Athens GA to Atlanta back in the Great Gatsby days 100 years ago. I don't know when it became "black food" but is isn't much different than chicken and southern biscuits. In the south we know what yankees call soul food is not racially bound.
As a black man Seeing Chicken and watermelon bring so many people from different backgrounds together just made my day much love and respect to everyone
James It’s like that movie swat where the black chief in charge didn’t hire the white guy cause he didn’t like to eat an actual hot dog haha. I love old movies.
I'm black and I can't stand the smell, the colour of chicken. It disgusts me. It seems to me it is something white people would like. Watermelon though all day.
I traded eating junk food for watermelon as my snack about a year ago. I feel better I lost weight and have more energy. Good on him for promoting a healthy snack.
I am from Georgia and white, I never understood the chicken and watermelon stereotype. It was tradition in my family to get a bucket of chicken, a watermelon (particularly when in season) and head to the state or local park. We would do that every weekend in the summer we could, do a little fishing while out there it was a great time. One of the things I always remembered was other families of all different backgrounds also doing the same and sometimes if the park was crowded, we would share tables and ultimately food. Heck, sometimes we would trade the fish we caught, it was always good fun.
no its all the negative portrayals of black peoples in the birth of a nation movie from 1910 - thats what the balck people were eating while running the local congress sessions hence the actual racial stereotypes
Can we just agree fried chicken and waffles with watermelon is a banger lunch Edit: I hate that I have to state this, I was making light of it. I personally don't agree with some of these comments where people seem to be confused as to why there was a problem with that lunch.
It is a good meal, and better than I had in the 1970's. But I gotta point out, that all the meals they are bitching about are Southern meals, not specifically black meals, but everybody in the south. I think that if racism were as rampant as these left wingnuts claim, there wouldn't be any people of color left in America. Most White Americans are not racist. If there is a group that is allowed to have rallies, schools, scholarships, dorms, and TV stations JUST for 'their people', it is Black people, not white. And I believe MOST of them aren't racist either. Our mutual enemy should not be people that don't look like you, but people that scream racist every two minutes, regardless of their color.
Chicken and waffles combination were created by Dutch people who immigrated to America during the time skip in the 15-1600s (the time skip is another conversation)
Never mind where it's from, or where it's popular ... chicken is delicious, waffles are delicious, and watermelon is delicious. And anybody using a term like "racially insensitive meal" needs to be flogged.
@@Gaius__ Anyone who uses a term like "Racially Insensitive" needs to wear a sign in the village square announcing their duncery. It's racist, or it's not racist. You can't be racially insensitive
I'm a white older man who had never heard of chicken and waffles until 2005 when I had the dish served at a restaurant in Harlem New York. It was a great combo along side it was some of the best sweet cornbread I've ever had. I make this dish for my family a few times a year and I think it's growing on us . I feel it's a southern comfort food that everyone should enjoy ..
I'm "black" (but what's actually more significant is that we are all human above all). That said, I have always loved fried chicken and watermelon, BBQ ribs, sweet potatoes. I drank Kool-aid as a kid. I'll occasionally have waffles. I had greens and cornbread day before yesterday. I actually eat (and very much enjoy) all the 'racially insensitive' dishes black people are stereotyped for enjoying (and, I guess, should stop enjoying, since it's 2023?). I however do not drink alcohol and I've never done drugs, never even smoked weed. Molly and Percocet are opiates (the new heroin) promoted by a lot hip hop artists today that's actually destroying peoples lives. Their consumption has destructive effects on anyone of any race. A lot of black people these days are backwards- extremely confused and misguided regarding what is harmful and what is harmless. They live in an upside down bizzaro world, where good is bad and bad is good. They think eating the soul food, which has fueled generations of black, pro-athletes in the NFL and NBA since the 1950's to present is bad. They think consuming crack, weed, alcohol, opiates and other substances that have been disintegrating black families and communities since the 1980's is not a serious issue. Images and lifestyles of drug dealers are promoted and glorified. Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are shameful ....even though they represent decent, honest working class people. It's sad, but I'm not going to stop eating fried chicken and watermelon to make black people feel better about themselves. It's good to see The Real Spark bringing some humor to the situation.
@@jayleeds2006 Yep, it blows my mind that people can't see all of this. Like we all have problems, but if we can't talk about them, they won't be fixed. I like a lot of rap, mainstream and non mainstream, but we can't mention how a lot of rap is all about brraap braaapp, showing off and boasting, treating people badly, doing crimes to be cool, and overall just not caring about anything but themselves. Nope, that'd be somehow offensive to black people? If the truth is offensive, then try to change it. White people suck in our own ways and have our own goofy stereotypes too, but I don't really need to bring them up right now because we get to hear about them every day. We really need to start operating off of truth and intelligence, instead of theories and emotions.
They served this meal to me with chicken and watermelon in elementary school. Me and the kids were so grateful for this special meal. Also they would serve Mexican food as well once or twice a year. These are fond memories because there was extra effort put into these meals.
If you don't love it, you can get out! That's what I say. I went to an authentic Irish pub in disney springs a few weeks back. They gave me fried chicken (it was fancy so seared with a little flour and seasonins), sautéed greens, and fried potatoes. I WAS IN HEAVEN! So no barely black person better go in there and complain about it being racist. It's the best thing on the menu!
I don't think it is a problem in this situation but Google some historical drawings of chicken and watermelon to see how it's protrayed by asshats. It's pretty gross
So I read a real reason for this and that’s because watermelons were originally from Africa and grew well in the south so slaves ate them because they already ate them before being brought over and the fried chicken stereotype has to do with segregation and the fact black people couldn’t eat at a lot of restaurants so they had picnics and what they ate at those picnics was fried chicken because it keeps well and tastes good cold
@@ConeFlower-gx2qk it's because of the recipe. Black people invented modern day fried chicken. The Scottish were the first people to fry chicken but black americans invented the recipe and would began to sell fried chicken in the 1880s...
Can we stop and appreciate how much better this lunch menu is than when we were kids? In elementary school we were lucky if lunch was anything other than rectangle pizza slices with cubed up pepperoni on top.
In the '70s and '80s, we had a one-day a week or two meal of macaroni with veg-all and ground beef - can't remember the euphemism for it, I don't think it was soup or goulash, and something we called "sh*t on a shingle" (it was ground beef in a brown sauce ladled onto a slice of toast, I think they called it an "open-faced beef sandwich"), baked fish patties and hashbrown patties with pear halves on Fridays (I was told the fish was a religious thing for Catholic kids, but I wasn't Catholic, and only knew a couple kids who were, so I don't know about that, only that Fridays were fish days), a "sloppy joe" day (ground beef in a small amount of a sort of vague marinara sauce scooped onto a bun-of-fun, served with fruit cocktail), and occasionally you got real treats like chicken patty and tots day, school-pizza and corn with applesauce day, corndog and hushpuppy day, taco Tuesday, grilled cheese sandwich and dill pickle spear day, hamburger and crinkle fries day, meatloaf or Salisbury steak patty and pale white macaroni-and-cheese-of-horror day.... Seriously, that square school-pizza was a treat, compared to the routine fare, and we used to have to fight over whether we got to keep our slice, or have it taken by the big kids - losers were the geeky weird kids who were stuck eating paste instead! (it was always cheese pizza in my day, with a cardboard-textured crust and vague red sauce that included caraway seeds, baked from frozen stacks on large sheet pans, then cut into squares along dotted lines... weirdly, it's sounding really good right now, who would have thought I'd actually get nostalgic for school-pizza???) All around, we were actually pretty lucky to have all that great stuff back then - it was the '70s economy and my working-class parents could barely afford anything let alone good lunches! And, of course, most of the world no doubt would wonder what American schoolkids could possibly be complaining about, as a lot of kids are lucky to get a scoop of rice for their only meal of the day! But, it was sure uninspiring to us at the time, and I can definitely appreciate how much better that chicken and waffles with watermelon lunch menu is than the one I grew up with.
@pietrayday9915 That school pizza was some special sort of nasty. I passed it up all but maybe twice and get nauseous just thinking about it. We had something called Alpo on rice. Beef tips and brown gravy with white rice, green beans AND a roll. That shit was the bomb. And since we were poor as fuck and I qualified for the reduced school lunch price, it only cost forty cents! Seriously though, that and chicken strip day was the only reason I didn't quit high school.
Here here!!! That stuff was nasty man! I mean who thought it was a good idea to give students government approved meat like by products (sloppy joes, spaghetti and meat sauce, chilli dogs, etc.) with a either a canned fruit cocktail, and milk. Then have students play outside for 30 minutes in the hot sun and not expect them to puke. I got food poisoning from them. Every once in awhile we would get good food but most of the time it was that vomit inducing nightmare food! There are some foods I still refuse to eat to this day because of how traumatizing those foods were.
@ジョーンズジャヤ ah yes, the old watery fruit "cocktail", dried out carrot sticks and suspiciously dark canned green beens. If you were lucky they would still have some chocolate milk boxes, otherwise you were stuck with the 1%! Oddly in my school district food was terrible in elementary but the quality increased substantially through middle and high school. Maybe they just wanted to save money and feed the cheap garbage to the kids too young to complain?
I liked his impression of the Mexican young boy, saying you worked hard pappy you made that knowledge happened and made some taquitos or whatever he said that was funny
So one time I was volunteering at this homeless shelter, faith-based. All the dinners were prepared by various local churches. They were so good they actually had to start letting them serve meals for lunches too. And the most delicious meal I recall ever being prepared there was from an African-American heritage group. I can't recall the exact name of it, but it was a kitchen full of cheerful elderly black women and it was meant to honor their traditions and heritage. That meal was in fact fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, potato salad and a whole lot of kool-aid. Easily the most well-made dinner to ever come out of that kitchen and among the men there of which at least 90% were black, not a soul complained, everyone just wanted seconds, myself included.
Once a year our grammar school served fried chicken, something we looked forward to more then schoolmade pizza or the tacos we got also once a year. Sometimes we also got a slice of melon, but not with the chicken. If our school served it with a waffle most of us would have talked about that for weeks as if it were some amazing mistake the school kitchen made. This guy is dead right, people need to lighten up and also be happy they're not getting the normal mystery meat usually served, Our "meat" products were mixed with soy and other "healthy" things and given a weird "grilled" flavor that to this day I still remember. This was in the early 70's and our school was new and had the main kitchen for three other grammar schools, so we got a lot of hamburgers dry and served with no ketchup or mustard, leftover meat was ground up to use on the "pizza" or in spaghetti sauce. We always got salad, which was good except when someone screamed when they found a caterpillar in theirs, which happened often enough. Please serve schoolkids fried chicken, waffles, veggies and other good tasting food they'll eat.
This guy is HILARIOUS. But my daughter attended a 98% white charter school. They served greens, cornbread, watermelon, ribs, and sweet potato pie for lunch. They would serve chicken and waffles with “grape drink” too. Barbecue spaghetti and all sorts of stick to your bones food. The board of directors claimed “kids don’t need to be hungry while they’re learning”. He was from the south somewhere. Not one of those kids were overweight either.
Exactly! They want kids to eat healthy but you really think they want to eat a nasty brown soft apple that one kid found worms in? Get some sweet crunchy apples for kids to eat. I love Pink Lady apples, but if those are too expensive, at least the government can get schools apples with a crunch. Also you were actively punished by going to the salad bar. Because if it was a rare day every kid who got hot lunch got one cookie, you'd be forced to "only get healthy stuff" aka fake healthy stuff which is canned cherries that's obviously smothered in processed sugar sauce. So I'm not allowed to get a cookie because I chose to get salad and instead get this overly sweet crap I hate? Guess I shouldn't get salad then. I found a fruit worm before in my peaches. Canned peaches. A fruit worm. This stuff obviously some old crap the government gives kids. The hamburger patties have hard bits in them. The fat free milk tastes watered down, and for some reason, a water costs extra money instead of being there with the milk, already part of the initial lunch payment. It was ridiculous. The tacos made me vomit before. And their chili cheese fries for some reason had melted American cheese (aka the more processed, disgusting cheese instead of cheddar or mozzarella, which are more natural. At least people with lactose intolerance can eat cheddar too) and the chili was horrendous. The government doesn't give the proper ingredients to make healthy food that kids will enjoy. And since when was pancakes smothered in syrup healthy? So I need to have wheat bread for a peanut butter sandwich but I can have French toast sticks dunked in as much syrup as I want? It's more like schools pretending to be healthy and serving old, disgusting food which has likely lost some nutritional value by the point they feed it to kids.
I wish we had chicken, waffles and watermelon as a lunch option when I was in grade school! And it’s a heck of a lot better than what some other kids are getting for school provided lunches.
I've a feeling most kids in the world would LOVE to have that lunch. That said, I decided to take a look around and see what is being served for school lunches today, since it's been about 30 to 40 years for me, and I gotta admit, the modern school menus in the USA at least SOUND good - pepperoni pizza, taco Tuesday, potstickers and fried rice, pasta and meat sauce with garlic bread, burger on bun, chicken tenders and fries, meatballs with sauce and garlic sticks.... Of course, a lot can change in the translation from paper to whatever is actually served, but the lunches I mostly remember from when I was a kid were less than inspiring... what we used to call "sh*t on a shingle" (some sort of open-faced ground meat in sauce ladled on to a slice of bread), macaroni and veg-all with ground beef, dry mystery-meat patty on stale buns-of-fun with tater tots.... I guess I'm happy I got what they served us back then - the '70s and '80s economy was brutal, and my parents could barely afford the pocket change that lunch tickets cost back then for thirteen cents or a quarter or whatever it was, but we really looked forward to those tots, or the occasional taco day, or the cardboard school-pizza and corn day as a break from the usual dreariness of '70s and '80s school lunches! And YES - a fried chicken, waffles, and watermelon day would have been a real treat when I was a kid, and sounds damned good even today! :)
The first time I had a black history month meal at school was in university. Instead of complaining like the people in the actual news story, we were grateful.
I used to work for a large, international oil and gas company in Norway. One day we had our global team in Norway and they played a video promoting "inclusivity" where a white guy picked up fried chicken and watermelon for their colleague for lunch. The HR manager asked our team what was wrong in this scenario. None of the non-US people understood the offense because all agreed that fried chicken and watermelon is delicious. The HR lady lost her sh*t because nobody could grasp why this would be considered racist when it's so tasty 😂😂
the best part about that is that it exposed the american-centric cultural attitudes that their policies are derived from, even at an international level. Which is not very inclusive
I can't imagine what on earth was going on in that HR lady's head, or what it must have been like for non-Americans to have to sit through that baloney. Seems like a lot of us in the USA are just as baffled about the whole thing - it's like a subset of activists who get their panties in a twist over the alleged white supreme terror of fried chicken and watermelons, while the rest of the world just shrugs, says "got no idea what you're complaining about, lady", and enjoys some good food....
I can imagine everyone sitting and biting down on some delicious chicken thinking. What's her problem? She should try some of this chicken and water melon she would be so much happier.
When I was a kid I loved Fried Chicken, Waffles and Watermelon. Still like it as an adult. If they served Beef & Broccoli or Orange Chicken for Asian History month I'd love it too.
@@Originalchili lmao exactly this 👆 goes to show someone needs to know about actual asian history, and not just the american food that's labled as "asian food" 💀

I'm a white guy, and I love chicken and waffles. I Also love sweet and sour pork, enchiladas, and cheese blintzes. Just because a certain ethnicity or culture develops a certain recipe, doesn't mean that other ethnicities and cultures can't enjoy it. Indeed, exposure to different cultures' foods can help bring them together in harmony.
And on a side note, this lunch sounds better than the inedible crap that they served us when we were in school.
Yes, but if your views share in being prejudice against a culture but yet indulge in their cultural historic dishes then you are a hypocrite. Like if you have views against Mexicans, the people and their culture but still eat burritos and at Mexican restaurants then you are a special kind of clown.
And just so you are aware, this is a fake video. This guy makes video pretending to be interviewed by the news station. This never happened, he was never interviewed.
And also, just because one person is not offended does not give it a free pass or make it ok. It's common knowledge that black Americans are mocked and their food choices have been used as a tool to further dehumanize them. Watermelon and chicken have been used against black Americans and their culture and to shame them for enjoying simple foods.

Yeah I am from Washington State but lived in Tennessee and Oklahoma while I was in the Army. People up here see this and think it's racist, everyone else just thinks it's lunch. The northwest is an annoying place to live, culturally.
That their other place had barbecued ribs and collard greens. I'm starting to get hungry.
Fried chicken and waffles was the white frat boy food for college roadhouses in Athens GA to Atlanta back in the Great Gatsby days 100 years ago.
I don't know when it became "black food" but is isn't much different than chicken and southern biscuits. In the south we know what yankees call soul food is not racially bound.

I am from Georgia and white, I never understood the chicken and watermelon stereotype. It was tradition in my family to get a bucket of chicken, a watermelon (particularly when in season) and head to the state or local park. We would do that every weekend in the summer we could, do a little fishing while out there it was a great time. One of the things I always remembered was other families of all different backgrounds also doing the same and sometimes if the park was crowded, we would share tables and ultimately food. Heck, sometimes we would trade the fish we caught, it was always good fun.
north carolinian here, same experience. fried chicken and watermelon are in my families super white DNA.
water melon is a staple meal for southern white folks
People think it's black when it's a southern thing lol
no its all the negative portrayals of black peoples in the birth of a nation movie from 1910 - thats what the balck people were eating while running the local congress sessions hence the actual racial stereotypes

It is a good meal, and better than I had in the 1970's. But I gotta point out, that all the meals they are bitching about are Southern meals, not specifically black meals, but everybody in the south.
I think that if racism were as rampant as these left wingnuts claim, there wouldn't be any people of color left in America. Most White Americans are not racist. If there is a group that is allowed to have rallies, schools, scholarships, dorms, and TV stations JUST for 'their people', it is Black people, not white. And I believe MOST of them aren't racist either.
Our mutual enemy should not be people that don't look like you, but people that scream racist every two minutes, regardless of their color.
@@juliasmith331 are you serious? That sounds disgusting!
Chicken and waffles combination were created by Dutch people who immigrated to America during the time skip in the 15-1600s (the time skip is another conversation)
Chicken and waffles is also Dutch. Plus chicken and watermelon are VERY popular in the South, along with everything else served.
Chicken came from Indian subcontinent. Chicken can't survive naturally in Netherlands.
My step-grandmother made chicken and waffles all the time. She was very white.

I'm a white older man who had never heard of chicken and waffles until 2005 when I had the dish served at a restaurant in Harlem New York. It was a great combo along side it was some of the best sweet cornbread I've ever had. I make this dish for my family a few times a year and I think it's growing on us . I feel it's a southern comfort food that everyone should enjoy ..
I'm Mexican born 94 I first ate this when I was 4 & still do......u late to the party 🥳 💀 but its all good at least u arrived 🤪
I'm "black" (but what's actually more significant is that we are all human above all).
That said, I have always loved fried chicken and watermelon, BBQ ribs, sweet potatoes. I drank Kool-aid as a kid. I'll occasionally have waffles. I had greens and cornbread day before yesterday. I actually eat (and very much enjoy) all the 'racially insensitive' dishes black people are stereotyped for enjoying (and, I guess, should stop enjoying, since it's 2023?).
I however do not drink alcohol and I've never done drugs, never even smoked weed. Molly and Percocet are opiates (the new heroin) promoted by a lot hip hop artists today that's actually destroying peoples lives. Their consumption has destructive effects on anyone of any race.
A lot of black people these days are backwards- extremely confused and misguided regarding what is harmful and what is harmless. They live in an upside down bizzaro world, where good is bad and bad is good.
They think eating the soul food, which has fueled generations of black, pro-athletes in the NFL and NBA since the 1950's to present is bad.
They think consuming crack, weed, alcohol, opiates and other substances that have been disintegrating black families and communities since the 1980's is not a serious issue.
Images and lifestyles of drug dealers are promoted and glorified.
Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are shameful ....even though they represent decent, honest working class people.
It's sad, but I'm not going to stop eating fried chicken and watermelon to make black people feel better about themselves.

I don't think it is a problem in this situation but Google some historical drawings of chicken and watermelon to see how it's protrayed by asshats. It's pretty gross
So I read a real reason for this and that’s because watermelons were originally from Africa and grew well in the south so slaves ate them because they already ate them before being brought over and the fried chicken stereotype has to do with segregation and the fact black people couldn’t eat at a lot of restaurants so they had picnics and what they ate at those picnics was fried chicken because it keeps well and tastes good cold

Can we stop and appreciate how much better this lunch menu is than when we were kids? In elementary school we were lucky if lunch was anything other than rectangle pizza slices with cubed up pepperoni on top.
In the '70s and '80s, we had a one-day a week or two meal of macaroni with veg-all and ground beef - can't remember the euphemism for it, I don't think it was soup or goulash, and something we called "sh*t on a shingle" (it was ground beef in a brown sauce ladled onto a slice of toast, I think they called it an "open-faced beef sandwich"), baked fish patties and hashbrown patties with pear halves on Fridays (I was told the fish was a religious thing for Catholic kids, but I wasn't Catholic, and only knew a couple kids who were, so I don't know about that, only that Fridays were fish days), a "sloppy joe" day (ground beef in a small amount of a sort of vague marinara sauce scooped onto a bun-of-fun, served with fruit cocktail), and occasionally you got real treats like chicken patty and tots day, school-pizza and corn with applesauce day, corndog and hushpuppy day, taco Tuesday, grilled cheese sandwich and dill pickle spear day, hamburger and crinkle fries day, meatloaf or Salisbury steak patty and pale white macaroni-and-cheese-of-horror day....
Seriously, that square school-pizza was a treat, compared to the routine fare, and we used to have to fight over whether we got to keep our slice, or have it taken by the big kids - losers were the geeky weird kids who were stuck eating paste instead! (it was always cheese pizza in my day, with a cardboard-textured crust and vague red sauce that included caraway seeds, baked from frozen stacks on large sheet pans, then cut into squares along dotted lines... weirdly, it's sounding really good right now, who would have thought I'd actually get nostalgic for school-pizza???)
All around, we were actually pretty lucky to have all that great stuff back then - it was the '70s economy and my working-class parents could barely afford anything let alone good lunches! And, of course, most of the world no doubt would wonder what American schoolkids could possibly be complaining about, as a lot of kids are lucky to get a scoop of rice for their only meal of the day!
But, it was sure uninspiring to us at the time, and I can definitely appreciate how much better that chicken and waffles with watermelon lunch menu is than the one I grew up with.
@pietrayday9915 That school pizza was some special sort of nasty. I passed it up all but maybe twice and get nauseous just thinking about it. We had something called Alpo on rice. Beef tips and brown gravy with white rice, green beans AND a roll. That shit was the bomb. And since we were poor as fuck and I qualified for the reduced school lunch price, it only cost forty cents! Seriously though, that and chicken strip day was the only reason I didn't quit high school.
Here here!!! That stuff was nasty man! I mean who thought it was a good idea to give students government approved meat like by products (sloppy joes, spaghetti and meat sauce, chilli dogs, etc.) with a either a canned fruit cocktail, and milk. Then have students play outside for 30 minutes in the hot sun and not expect them to puke. I got food poisoning from them. Every once in awhile we would get good food but most of the time it was that vomit inducing nightmare food!
There are some foods I still refuse to eat to this day because of how traumatizing those foods were.
@ジョーンズジャヤ ah yes, the old watery fruit "cocktail", dried out carrot sticks and suspiciously dark canned green beens. If you were lucky they would still have some chocolate milk boxes, otherwise you were stuck with the 1%!
Oddly in my school district food was terrible in elementary but the quality increased substantially through middle and high school. Maybe they just wanted to save money and feed the cheap garbage to the kids too young to complain?
We had hamburgers that were sitting warm in a plastic bag for at least 8 hours.
Oh my gosh, I wish I could eat there everyday. Those children are truly blessed.
I would have been so happy to get chicken and watermelon at school.
I liked his impression of the Mexican young boy, saying you worked hard pappy you made that knowledge happened and made some taquitos or whatever he said that was funny

So one time I was volunteering at this homeless shelter, faith-based. All the dinners were prepared by various local churches. They were so good they actually had to start letting them serve meals for lunches too. And the most delicious meal I recall ever being prepared there was from an African-American heritage group. I can't recall the exact name of it, but it was a kitchen full of cheerful elderly black women and it was meant to honor their traditions and heritage. That meal was in fact fried chicken, collard greens, corn bread, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, potato salad and a whole lot of kool-aid. Easily the most well-made dinner to ever come out of that kitchen and among the men there of which at least 90% were black, not a soul complained, everyone just wanted seconds, myself included.

This guy is really funny. I bet it's great fun hanging out with him on a weekend. He's full of humour and expressive words.
Once a year our grammar school served fried chicken, something we looked forward to more then schoolmade pizza or the tacos we got also once a year. Sometimes we also got a slice of melon, but not with the chicken. If our school served it with a waffle most of us would have talked about that for weeks as if it were some amazing mistake the school kitchen made. This guy is dead right, people need to lighten up and also be happy they're not getting the normal mystery meat usually served, Our "meat" products were mixed with soy and other "healthy" things and given a weird "grilled" flavor that to this day I still remember. This was in the early 70's and our school was new and had the main kitchen for three other grammar schools, so we got a lot of hamburgers dry and served with no ketchup or mustard, leftover meat was ground up to use on the "pizza" or in spaghetti sauce. We always got salad, which was good except when someone screamed when they found a caterpillar in theirs, which happened often enough. Please serve schoolkids fried chicken, waffles, veggies and other good tasting food they'll eat.

Exactly! They want kids to eat healthy but you really think they want to eat a nasty brown soft apple that one kid found worms in? Get some sweet crunchy apples for kids to eat. I love Pink Lady apples, but if those are too expensive, at least the government can get schools apples with a crunch. Also you were actively punished by going to the salad bar. Because if it was a rare day every kid who got hot lunch got one cookie, you'd be forced to "only get healthy stuff" aka fake healthy stuff which is canned cherries that's obviously smothered in processed sugar sauce. So I'm not allowed to get a cookie because I chose to get salad and instead get this overly sweet crap I hate? Guess I shouldn't get salad then. I found a fruit worm before in my peaches. Canned peaches. A fruit worm. This stuff obviously some old crap the government gives kids. The hamburger patties have hard bits in them. The fat free milk tastes watered down, and for some reason, a water costs extra money instead of being there with the milk, already part of the initial lunch payment. It was ridiculous. The tacos made me vomit before. And their chili cheese fries for some reason had melted American cheese (aka the more processed, disgusting cheese instead of cheddar or mozzarella, which are more natural. At least people with lactose intolerance can eat cheddar too) and the chili was horrendous. The government doesn't give the proper ingredients to make healthy food that kids will enjoy. And since when was pancakes smothered in syrup healthy? So I need to have wheat bread for a peanut butter sandwich but I can have French toast sticks dunked in as much syrup as I want? It's more like schools pretending to be healthy and serving old, disgusting food which has likely lost some nutritional value by the point they feed it to kids.
I wish we had chicken, waffles and watermelon as a lunch option when I was in grade school! And it’s a heck of a lot better than what some other kids are getting for school provided lunches.
I've a feeling most kids in the world would LOVE to have that lunch. That said, I decided to take a look around and see what is being served for school lunches today, since it's been about 30 to 40 years for me, and I gotta admit, the modern school menus in the USA at least SOUND good - pepperoni pizza, taco Tuesday, potstickers and fried rice, pasta and meat sauce with garlic bread, burger on bun, chicken tenders and fries, meatballs with sauce and garlic sticks....
Of course, a lot can change in the translation from paper to whatever is actually served, but the lunches I mostly remember from when I was a kid were less than inspiring... what we used to call "sh*t on a shingle" (some sort of open-faced ground meat in sauce ladled on to a slice of bread), macaroni and veg-all with ground beef, dry mystery-meat patty on stale buns-of-fun with tater tots....
I guess I'm happy I got what they served us back then - the '70s and '80s economy was brutal, and my parents could barely afford the pocket change that lunch tickets cost back then for thirteen cents or a quarter or whatever it was, but we really looked forward to those tots, or the occasional taco day, or the cardboard school-pizza and corn day as a break from the usual dreariness of '70s and '80s school lunches!
And YES - a fried chicken, waffles, and watermelon day would have been a real treat when I was a kid, and sounds damned good even today! :)
The back of the bus also best seating
The first time I had a black history month meal at school was in university. Instead of complaining like the people in the actual news story, we were grateful.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss This is very true!
Jesus. So I guess we don’t do tacos on cinco de mayo anymore, huh? This guy needs to be put into a bigger public office.
This guy was definitely raised by a no nonsense straight talking grandmama with cutting humour & big love✨❤️
Nah, probably raised by a mother and father. Wtf this isn't a Tyler Perry show
@@Seattlefan77 Lmfao.. right???
I used to work for a large, international oil and gas company in Norway. One day we had our global team in Norway and they played a video promoting "inclusivity" where a white guy picked up fried chicken and watermelon for their colleague for lunch.
The HR manager asked our team what was wrong in this scenario. None of the non-US people understood the offense because all agreed that fried chicken and watermelon is delicious.
The HR lady lost her sh*t because nobody could grasp why this would be considered racist when it's so tasty 😂😂
the best part about that is that it exposed the american-centric cultural attitudes that their policies are derived from, even at an international level. Which is not very inclusive
Did someone throw her out on the tundra and lock the door ?
I can't imagine what on earth was going on in that HR lady's head, or what it must have been like for non-Americans to have to sit through that baloney. Seems like a lot of us in the USA are just as baffled about the whole thing - it's like a subset of activists who get their panties in a twist over the alleged white supreme terror of fried chicken and watermelons, while the rest of the world just shrugs, says "got no idea what you're complaining about, lady", and enjoys some good food....
HR Karens just need to disappear from Earth
I can imagine everyone sitting and biting down on some delicious chicken thinking. What's her problem? She should try some of this chicken and water melon she would be so much happier.
My man is out here holding the line in 2024. He's like a big, beautiful, black Robin Hood, stealing from the easily offended and giving to the sane.
Collard greens with turkey neck is the shit. I’m mexican American but there are days I want collard greens and a fried pork chop instead of tacos
When I was a kid I loved Fried Chicken, Waffles and Watermelon. Still like it as an adult. If they served Beef & Broccoli or Orange Chicken for Asian History month I'd love it too.
Beef and broccoli is not asian in any way.
@@bigguy7353 that’s cool bro. Have a great day.
@@bigguy7353 he's orders Chinese takeout, and thinks he's eating real Chinese food lol
orange chicken is not even asian 💀
@@Originalchili lmao exactly this 👆 goes to show someone needs to know about actual asian history, and not just the american food that's labled as "asian food" 💀
Thanks for putting some comedy back into a world that's gone insane.
I like how this was shot somewhat realistic. Making it out like the news station cares more about the subtext than the people it supposedly “offends”
This dude... I can't... 🤣🤣🤣⚰
I love this man. We need a lot more people like him.
He is the type of guy you'd listen to when he's telling his stories.
Also more fun than any other superintendent I've seen who act like some CEO or something.
We sure do!!! He's so funny!!!
PREACH, Ozzy!
I love this guy!! Thank the Lord someone still has the huevos to tell things like they are!
Eggs seem more fitting than balls.
As a Mexican, I lol’d at the Mexican kid impression 😂
I'm brown too and that $#!t was funny. Dude is hilarious.
That came out of nowhere lmfao
I tell you what,if people start bitching about Taco Tuesday being anything but delicious, I'm gonna be pissed!
go on- build my house👴🏻
Lmaoooo
Everyone loves chicken and watermelon
like dave chapelle once said "if you don't like fried chicken and watermelon, then there's something wrong with you". I only wished my high school had served fried chicken when I was in high school.
this aint a black dish its a southern one everyone in the south has eaten this and its damn good
Seriously. All we got was a pitiful excuse for pizza and fucking convenience store burritos
They forgot the corn bread (fresh) with real creme corn on top. Go Oklahoma grade 6.
My school always be serving fried chicken. :|
"Here I thought that I liked fried chicken because it's fucking delicious. Little did I know, I was predisposed into liking chicken."
The “hold up, wait a minute, something ain’t right?!” Is so iconic lmao
