“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”
In other words, we're sorry you were offended.

The fuck it is. Black ppl aren't a monolith with a hive mind. We don't all agree on everything. Also there's a huge difference between a majority white controlled mega corporation handing out Friday chicken and watermelon on juneteenth vs a private local celebration doing it. Especially since it's not the ONLY thing they serve
Jesus Christ the fact this even has to be explained
I don't think it needs to be explained to anyone approaching this conversation in good faith. However, the person you're replying to is just making a poor attempt to dismiss racism and gaslight people.
Who the hell doesn't agree that fried chicken is awesome, though?
Also, I bet you anything that if you did some digging into who it was at the company that was in charge of the concessions, it was a black person.
I'm guessing you didn't bother to read either link 🤷
