Two New York City fried chicken restaurants in predominantly black neighborhoods are under fire for putting President Barack Obama’s name on their signs.

City Councilman Charles Barron said Friday that he will organize a demonstration next week outside the Obama Fried Chicken in his Brooklyn district if the sign doesn’t change.

Opponents also say they may target Obama Fried Chicken & Pizza in Harlem.

Barron said he has been getting calls from outraged residents in his district.

"City Councilman Charles Barron said Friday that he will organize a demonstration next week outside Obama Fried Chicken in his Brooklyn district. Organizers said they may also target Obama Fried Chicken & Pizza in Harlem.
"People from the community were calling me and saying they were outraged by this racist connection to Barack Obama and fried chicken," Barron said."

That's "ex"-Black Panther Charles Barron...

Charles Barron: "My immediate response is 'take off the ex,' because I’m still a Panther at heart. And I’m proud to be a Panther because the Black Panther Party fed children breakfast. It had a clothing drive for struggling people in our communities. It led the research drive around sickle cell anemia, a rare blood disease peculiar to black people. As far as the guns and the actions with the police, that wasn’t even a major part of our program. That was for self-defense against police brutality."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

...ya know what?..you know what?..I got wings too

My question to this “councilman” would be. If I photograph a chicken leg, purchased from this chicken joint, inside a bottle of urine, would it still be considered “art”?

The racist Barron cries racist. When the time comes, Satan will not allow him into Hell.

I seem to remember reading that Al Capone did a bit of comminity aid in his day as well. Guess he got a bad rap.

Zero flied chicken is Linger Fickin' good!

Buahahahahahahah.

What IS the problem?

Are these restaurants owned by "da joos" or people who are not black? This is what Black Power Nationalism does to people ( You can't put Obama's name on a sign unless you black!)What a laugh. This is how fascism begins, with this kind of nationalist socialism.

“outraged by this racist connection to Barack Obama and fried chicken...”

Pizza, burgers, and ice cream are OK, I guess. The owner obviously did not consult with an expert before naming his restaurant.

Hitler liked dogs.

And every bucket comes with the president's unimpeachable hot sauce!

I love fried chicken—eat it a lot! When did fried chicken become racist? Is the Kentucky Colonel a racist? I just don’t get this.

All you need to do is make a “donation” and we can set thing right.

The owners and operators of these places are almost certainly black.

This is the same charles barron who is responsible for such thoughtful quotes as:

"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him, just for my mental health,"

The fact that this thug and 'former' member of a domestic terrorist group is an elected official says quite a bit about the idiot constituents who keep him in office.

[sweetwaterfish]

what if the owners name is Obama?

[Brilliant]

In the video I saw, the cashier looked Asian, but I guess that means nothing.

[American Infidel]

"what if the owners name is Obama?"

I was actually thinking the same thing. How funny would it be if the owner had his name legally changed to obama just for spite?

Slick Willy’s is still going strong in Arkansas last I heard.

But blowing away cops wasn't a 'major' part of the program.

[Thank You Rush]

If I were Italian, I would protest that HIS name was on anything relating to pizza.

“what if the owners name is Obama?”

Or better yet, Osama. He realized he could not use that name and get away with it, so he figured he would choose one that no one would complain about.
