    What makes you think fried chicken is ‘soul food’? It’s not, it’s a stereotype of what blacks like to eat, just like watermelon. You thinking it is, that in of itself is a stereotype you’ve fallen for. What offended people is that they used such an offensive stereotype to try to sell. Your analogy of pasta is a false one. What if they had a sale on white bread for a hypothetical white people’s holiday, or sold meatballs on Columbus Day? Or how about a sale on penis enlargements for whites? Hair grease or chihuahua dogs for sale on Cinco de Mayo? Yellow bananas or yellow dye on Chinese New Year? Buying booze in bulk for St. Patrick’s Day, along with sales on boxing gloves? How about a Hannukah sale that talked about ‘pinching pennies’? Do you see what I’m getting at? If you want to have a sale for Black Heritage, choose items that stimulate pride and not more prejudice.
