Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.
IDK, the National Museum of African American History serves fried chicken every day, so they don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.
Interestingly, if you look at the menu for Juneteenth, it doesn’t include fried chicken. The only chicken is a dry rub chicken that wouldn’t be fried. So your evidence confirms they believe fried chicken is in fact not appropriate for Junteenth. That’s a good reference point if we all accept that the national museum of African American history is an authority on such matters.
Your point reflects a lot of other points. You are arguing if fried chicken in general is bad, which isn’t what is being discussed.
The point of discussion is if fried chicken is appropriate for a specific holiday.
The issue is that the holiday is an African American holiday, so people think it is awkward / racist. The museum is an African American museum, so I don’t see how it’s different.
It’s a staple of African American culture, and it’s delicious.
