MissScripture Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Its also wrong to phrase it as "Americans eat..." because those Somolian and Hispanic kids may well have been born here, making them American, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Everyone already knows that the delicious combination of peanut butter and jam was a Jim Crow-era tactic meant to warn white people about the seductiveness of intermarriage.

sixpence Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well I thought about it more, and I think all this talking about pb&j sammiches, is discriminatory, and I am the target. You all know that I have no experience with PB &J and you are singling me out and making me feel unwelcome by discussing something I cannot possibly comprehend. THANKS for making me feel left out!!!!
