Black History Month Menu = Bad Taste?


February is Black History Month. We all celebrate in our own little way, I guess. At the NBC Commissary in NYC, the adjoining menu was posted. This bothered Jimmy Fallon's bandleader. It bothered him a lot. Questlove is black and he complained on Twitter to his more than one million followers.

NBC apologized and removed the sign.

The menu was created by a black woman who works at the NBC commissary who said that she thought that people might like to eat the kind of food that she enjoys.

What? No watermelon??
