    I have long enjoyed the delights of ethnic culinary dishes and believe food is one of the more delicious ways to share our backgrounds. I would rather Leonard had been able to celebrate the chicken sale, but I have never had to suffer humiliation because of chicken, nor live with a haze of fear because of my color. Fish on Friday was the tool used to poke at my being Catholic. The Klu Klux Klan burned a cross on my Mother’s front lawn when she was a child…for being Catholic in a rural community. But in no way could I equate any bias I have experienced with the constant barrage felt by the Black community. I judged Leonard and the shopper were having a gut reaction which deserves respect.
