Pat Robertson: ‘What Is This ’Mac & Cheese?’ Is That a Black Thing?’

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson tends to find himself in the limelight for making comments that some find offensive, curious or entertaining (sometimes, a combination of the three). Today, on CBN’s “The 700 Club,” Robertson asked co-host Kristi Watts, “What is this ‘mac and cheese?’ Is that a black thing?”
The question, which seems even more bizarre without context, was posed after an interview between Watts and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was aired. During the interview, Watts asked Rice, “What’s that one thing at Thanksgiving you just have to have?” Rice’s answer? Mac and cheese. Watts agreed that it is her favorite holiday dish as well.
Mediaite has more:
A confused Robertson, who grew up in Lexington, Virginia, acted like he had never heard of the culinary dish, a popular American staple for generations and absent-mindedly singled out the meal as a food reserved for blacks. [...]
“It is a black thing, Pat!” exclaimed Watts. “Listen! And you guys! The world needs to get on board with macaroni and cheese. Seriously, I just– Christmas and Thanksgiving, we have to have macaroni and cheese and it just trips me out that you just don’t. ”
“I don’t and I have never!” the televangelist conceded.
Watch the interaction, below:

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 6:13pmThe only person I know who wants mac and cheese on Thanksgiving is my son (who unrelated is handicapped), but he wants it every day, so I don’t think that counts. And he wants my MIL’s homemade in the oven mac and cheese, not the box kind (which we can‘t have anyway because it’s not gluten free…we usually buy it, use only the cheese pouch and save the noodles for my husband to have tuna shellroni).

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 6:59pmSame here. Once in a while someone will make some weird, experimental baked macaroni and cheese, though I can‘t remember how many years it’s been since we had it at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.
If it‘s a regular thing at black folks’ Thanksgiving meals, then it may very well be a “black thing”. These things exists. Stating as much ain’t racist.

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 7:26pmTRI-OX, I’m with you on this one. In my entire life, I’ve never had mac and cheese on a holiday. I grew up dirt poor, but we never had mac and cheese on a holiday. We had it on regular days.
I‘ve never been served mac and cheese at anyone’s home, on a holiday. I know the homemade kind is pretty good stuff, but I don’t want it on a holiday.
Maybe Pat Robertson was thrown off a little, by it being called mac and cheese. Everyone I know calls it macaroni and cheese.

Mac and cheese are daily suppliments and not the main course in American homes that are Patriots. Now we are talking about being Patriotic indeed. Never heard of such foolishness of having such a mundane food on what is really a Holy day for American Christian Patriots. stuff your mac&chez

I don’t care much for it, but maybe because i’m a transplanted yankee. If it aint Velveeta, it aint mac & cheese as far as I’m concerned. but very high in carbs so it‘s no wonder Pat wouldn’t have it at his table.

Posted on December 1, 2011 at 8:40pmYes, I know the “mac and cheese” does sound odd for Thanksgiving to me also; however, a black lady I work with was telling me how good her mac and cheese turned out and that her sons were eatting it so fast there wasn’t going to be any left the next day. I guess she was surprised that her young men were devouring such massive helpings of mac and chesse that the huge pan she had made was not going to be enough. I just nodded and agreed, never letting on that it sounded so odd to me that they were having mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. What’s a few hundred more calories on Thanksgiving?!

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 5:40pmA quote I tend to agree with…
“Someone needs to say this plainly: The faith healers and health-and-wealth preachers who dominate religious television are shameless frauds. Their message is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. There is nothing spiritual or miraculous about their on-stage chicanery. It is all a devious ruse designed to take advantage of desperate people. They are not godly ministers but greedy impostors who corrupt the Word of God for money’s sake. They are not real pastors who shepherd the flock of God but hirelings whose only design is to fleece the sheep. Their love of money is glaringly obvious in what they say as well as how they live. They claim to possess great spiritual power, but in reality they are rank materialists and enemies of everything holy.”

There are 3 star restaurants that serve Mac & Cheese, and even making it at home, with the cost of good cheese, probably cost more than that propellor hat of yours.

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 5:17pmThis man has lost touch with his mind. Please remove him from the air before he loses any good will he has gained in his life. I’ve never watched him before, but I get to hear about it when he says something silly. I think the time to remove him was when he suggested this year that it’s OK to divorce your spouse if they have alshimers (sp?) and you want to date others. This is just sad.

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 5:14pmI grew up eating Kraft Mac and Cheese as a white honky kid, it is not a black thing. Pat is dumb and so is this lady for claiming it as a black culinary delight. Kraft is American as apple pie, it knows no color. Next.

Sorry, they aren’t talking about “processed cheese” and “dead noodles”! And “Kraft” mac and cheese has only become an “American staple” when women started going out of the home to work.
What is being discussed here is homemade, three or more cheese, baked macaronia and cheese, which was served at holidays because that is what saved money went toward–real cheese, real milk and real butter!

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 6:00pmPat Robertson better watch out. Jesus didn’t know about Mac and Cheese and they crucified Him. It’s the New World Order.
