Fat Ho Burger ?

 Marketing Genius.
I've been to Waco and, unless you're a Baylor Bear fan, there's nothing there.
So when the story broke that a twenty three year old Black woman put herself through college to open and own a burger joint, "Good", I thought.
But then I read that she named her spot "Fat Ho Burgers".
"Even better", I thought.

Everyone is always preaching that people should own their own but then they always want to tell them how to own.
Why is this name offensive?
Is it the imagery that the term provokes?
Do most people think of a fat, greasy, Black woman when they hear the term?
 Fatburger didn't offend all fat people.
 What if their mascot was a fat white woman - would people still be offended?
 Or what if the mascot was a white 'skinny ho'?
 There are a lot of strange names when it comes to our dining experiences.
Some intentional - some not.
Would you be offended while dining at Chewy Balls in Houston, Texas?
 Cum-n-Eat?
Sounds like a man requesting that his girl get out of bed to make him a sandwich after having sex.
 Yellowbone, Redbone, Light Skinned, Dark and Lovely, whatever...
Flavors of Negros has all kinds.
 Umm... do I really need to comment on this one?
 Or on this one? (Although all those pussies look kind of dried out.to me.)
 Or here?
 Or here?
 I don't know what kind of vagina a 'Tandoori' version is but...
 It's gotta' be better than eating a can full of "Shitto".
 Unless you're So Gay...
In this case, you might be interested in a bit of Young Dong.
 Pimp's Ho's, whatever...
Fat Ho has it all.
IMOHO - The problem people have with Lakita Evans' restaurant is that they immediately think of a Black woman when they hear the term "Fat Ho Burger".
As shown - it's only a name.
