I must not have my offensive radar on. How is the chicken and noose offensive?

Anything having to do with chicken is a racist slur against blacks. A noose in any context is a racist threat against blacks. A chicken in a noose is all that squared! The only thing worse would be a chicken in a noose at a pic-nic. That would be thermonuclear! Don't do it!

And if the chicken were eating a watermelon, all bets would be off.
