And I guess the part I am struggling with is that there are so many different kinds of food eating contests, why is a watermelon contest so different from a pie eating or a Krystal eating contest? I could see it being extremely offensive if they only let black children participate because that would be feeding into the sterotype. If I offended you with anything I have said, that was not my intention...I have trouble wording some things. I am just trying to understand.

You didn't offend me, but I'm not gonna be able to get through so I'm gonna leave this one alone. I don't know what your cultural background is but IMO every black person who knows their history should be offended by this. Things like this just make us as a people regress instead of progress...
