And why is it a "negative stereotype" to like them? It's a stereotype, but why is it negative?

It isn’t, that’s what’s so sick about this.

If anything it’s a celebration of a culinary contribution the black community has made to the world. I would’ve never had the pleasure to enjoy a plate of incredible chicken and waffles if it weren’t for the black chef who invented it and shared it with me.

But a very small minority of blacks and a much larger but still minority of activist minded whites decided to somehow twist it as a negative. To me it’s more a reflection of how warped their minds are that they interpret it that way. Are they racist against blacks? Is that why they get so bent out of shape about these things?

Whatever the cause, the US would be far better off if we as a nation spent more time enjoying chicken and waffles with each other and less time looking for racism and offense in everything everyone else does.
