Amazon workers in Chicago are reportedly outraged after they were provided chicken and waffles to celebrate Juneteenth

Amazon workers in Chicago are reportedly outraged that local leadership offered employees a meal of chicken and waffles to celebrate Juneteenth, according to a report from CNBC.

Employees said in an online group that the meal was a "racist form of celebration," CNBC reports. The meal has become a racist stereotype that has roots in the film "Birth of a Nation."

An Amazon spokesperson told Business Insider that the local leadership that put on the event "had good intentions to honor Juneteenth by supporting a local small business owned by a member of the Black community."

Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, honors the end of slavery in the US. While it's not a federal holiday, several major US companies made Juneteenth a paid day off for employees.

I'm too old to try to become emperor. But if I were emperor, I'd demand that I be given the codes to contact the space aliens we do business with. I'd request that they use their photon torpedoes on lots of nigger controlled shitties, starting with chimpcongo then detroytt. Then move over to Europe and use their genetic rays to vaporize all muds in White countries. Then round up all the race traitors and put them into several places where they could be vaporized an masse. It would be a new era of interstellar relations!!
