Stupid race hustling quote of the day (no, this time it has nothing to do with Barry Obama or his white-America hating wife):
ODESSA (TX) — Leaders of the Black Cultural Council say volunteers and the black community felt “humiliated” after two health department food inspectors threatened to put a stop to a Juneteenth celebration over questions about food preparation for 600 free barbecue sandwiches.
Council President Jo Ann Davenport-Littleton said health inspectors told them it was illegal for the group to serve the sandwiches because they were not prepared at the site where they were served.
Gino Solla, the county’s top health official, said state law prohibits any food service operation from having food prepared in a private home for public consumption.
“I hate that it happened,” Davenport-Littleton said in a story for today’s edition of the Odessa American. “I wanted people to go away talking about how great the celebration was this year. All you heard was ‘They were going to deny us barbecue. Here we are in modern-day slavery again.‘ “
Jesus H Christ on a roasting spit! Are you fucking kidding me?
The group was way out of compliance with local food laws, and when the law was simply enforced, it’s the equivalent to slavery?
Really?
Why is is that every time the law is enforced on black people, the only possible motivation is racism? Why does it never have anything to do with them knowing and following the law?
If Ms. Davenport-Littleton felt “humiliated”, it should have been for her own ignorance of the law.
The council, which has contracted with an individual to prepare the food offsite for the past 11 years, was eventually able to serve the sandwiches Thursday after police were called to the center and a “heated” argument with the inspectors, the newspaper reported. The group is demanding an apology.
Solla said he won’t apologize.
Of course they’re demanding an apology. Probably to be followed be a demand for reparations of some sort. And as for the “heated” argument, I’ll bet you dimes to nickels that it was the health inspector calling the police — not so much as to help enforce the law, but rather for their own protection.
Idiots. Here’s a clue for them though — next year? Try obeying the law.

Michelle Malkin simply titles her post, Raaaaaaaaaacist!!!!
I think most sane people can see that this racism thing is going just a bit far and it only serves to make them angrier when such charges are used to intimidate.
Odessa is the armpit of Texas, what do you expect?
[Editor --- I don't know about that --- have you been to Lufkin? Might give Odessa a run for their money in that category.]
Obeying the City’s ordinance for food preparation for public distribution/consumption is not a challenging task.
What’s more challenging is getting your license down at your local DPS office… Seriously!
Playing The Race Card In Odessa…
There are certain laws that apply to public health — and when a community group is giving out food in a manner that violates the rules, it should be shut down. Last year there was a food poisoning outbreak in……
Oh yeah…I know Lufkin. Grew up not far from there, and you’re right, same type of community. One big difference: Odessa smells more!
Longview is pretty sucky, but I doubt their health inspectors can read.
Thank God Malkin is protecting us from Odessa barbecuers.
[Editor --- so you're saying that you think there is a correlation between not being able to eat food prepared off-site in violation of local health inspector laws and slavery?]
