Are Black People Racist For Enjoying Fried Chicken?
Here’s a teevee news report from Rochester, NY about some Popeye’s running out of chicken. Like so much that happens in America, it is both hilarious and tragic. But! The people who are unable to procure their fried chicken, in this video, well they are black, which is a racial issue. And, it turns out, Popeye’s isn’t the only fried-chicken chain having issues related to black people. Is this really the America we expected after Barack Obama’s landslide victory? Now, your editor loves himself some Popeye’s, as he is from New Orleans and Popeye’s is the local equivalent of, say, Jamba Juice. Health food, in other words. But even as a mostly (?) white person, your editor has frequently noticed that outside of New Orleans, the Popeye’s is always in the ‘hood. And the customers are usually black. Black people love Popeye’s so much that Barack Obama himself lectured black people about giving their children healthy breakfasts and not “cold Popeye’s.” This is true stuff anybody can look up on
