    Love you Franchesca!

    Honestly though, I do love fried chicken! Like really! Now watermelon? It’s okay but I’d rather have an orange or apple.
    I’m a white old lady… but not into Starbucks or fancy coffee at all. (Go figure?) Some beans, my grinder… water, Mr. Coffee drip machine, and a few minutes later Voila! (Not even cream or sugar?) LOL 🙂

    Hey franchesca. Growing up I herd the water melon and fried chicken stereotype. At 28, living In Japan I could not help but notice how popular watermelon and fried chicken was with the locals there. I thought to myself, Wow I’m not alone as my favorite foods are embraced by people all around the word. Just amazing to think what would happed it the same purveyors of hate would have used words to find commonalities in the mundane things human beings enjoy, like eating watermelon and fried chicken.

    Most importantly, Where are your sources? Secondly, What episode contains the black racists towards blacks. By your logic, its true that all blacks in position of authority who hire whites over blacks, must themselves be racist towards blacks. You clearly show that this is the only possible answer, that its never based on individual skills.
