The image above allegedly depicts a quick change to a聽menu posted in the cafeteria at NBC studios in New York behind outrage rapidly ignited on the internet through the original selections.

NBC cook Leslie Calhoun who selected the items in honor of Black History Month is confused about the controversy swirling round her menu choices- consisting of fried chicken collards and black eyed peas. Jimmy Fallon鈥檚 Roots band鈥檚 drummer Ahmir 鈥?uestlove鈥?Thompson聽posted a Twitpic that began circulating rapidly except it was he who actually requested the dishes Calhoun told the Post:

鈥淨uestlove who I serve every day and who enjoys my food requested the neck bone [cooked in] the black-eyed peas and fried chicken then got off the line saying 鈥楾his is racist鈥?鈥?she said.

鈥淭he next thing you understand people were taking pictures of the sign and asking all the other black people in the cafeteria if this was racist. They said that it wasn鈥檛.鈥?/p>

Calhoun who is herself black has been 鈥渂egging鈥?for 8 years to do a special menu featuring such items in February and finally got her wish this year- though it鈥檚 looking love that may not continue thanks to Thompson. Calhoun says she鈥檇 planned to prepare dishes love the chicken collards and black-eyed peas each Thursday and doesn鈥檛 understand why people are offended telling the Post:

鈥淚 don鈥檛 understand it at all. It鈥檚 what I eat.鈥?/p>

Is it even possible for a black woman to be racist in efforts to honor Black History month? It seems to me if Calhoun鈥檚 report is honest that she was manipulated by ?uestlove- perhaps in an attempt to get more Twitter attention. Thompson titled his Twitpic 鈥渉mmm HR?鈥?which seems to imply that he鈥檇 like to see disciplinary action through the menu. That he requested. Bear in mind this man is in a band on TV and Calhoun is a woman who cooks in the cafeteria. Kind of douchey there ?uestlove.

An hour behind he posted the Twitpic the drummer decided he needed a time-out from Twitter:

鈥渋 think i need a twitter break. i done started something. and now i must put out fire.鈥?/p>
