I like fried chicken and watermelon, but I hate rap music. I can’t decide if I should apply for an NAACP scholarship.

OK, folks, how stupid does that sound?

[piroque]

RACISM! Do I get a cookie now?

NO. ,,, just a big slice of watermelon

ALL Freepers work in the garbage disposal business. We’re trying to dispose of Democrats.

“Honey, you knew you were marrying a largely French guy. You should’ve known stinky cheeses were part of the deal.”

>> I’m still trying to figure out why all of a sudden the PC crowd refers to people in India as “Asians.” <<

So the Euro-press can describe terrorists from the Middle East as “Asians,” too. (The Middle East is in Asia, after all.) (No, Libya isn’t in the Middle East.)

Do you like fish sticks? Hahahahaha.

Corn-on-the-cob is homophobic.

Please ask the admin mod to delete your post.

Thank you.

Close, but no cigar! The kid needs to have big pink lips and a ‘59 Cadillac has to be driving by in the background.

It is the separation of dark meat and white meat. They are each neatly quarantined to their own little bin under the warming light. Then you are asked, white or dark. Then and only then are the two chicken races allowed to intermingle.

LOL!

I don't even LIKE dark meat.

Does that mean I'm racist?

[EBH]

where we are told a culturally-based stereotype exists, leading to the incorrect assertion of racism.

I’d also like to take the way back machine to the McDonalds french fries I ate when I was young.... YUMM
When we were in Canada several years ago, I had to go to McDonalds because the fries were still made in lard at that time.

Yes—those pot pies were good too. Today not so much.

[beaversmom]

Can’t say that I’m a (c)rap fan either. Must be the white in me coming out ;)

[beaversmom]

Those were the best.

The video has caused a huge stir in the US after it was posted on YouTube. The ad has been seen by some in the US as a reference to racial stereotype that African Americans eat fried chicken.

I guess I am racist. I have black friends who are known to eat fried chicken and sometimes they eat water melon. This whole PC BS is way out of hand and needs to be rebelled against by the people of the world, not just the US.

Having lived my entire life in the South, I don’t know ANYBODY that doesn’t eat fried chicken, aside from a couple of vegetarians.

Then you are asked, white or dark. Then and only then are the two chicken races allowed to intermingle.

And then you're known as the guy who orders the 'Miscegenation Combo.'

[bannie]

I call that “liberal”...er, I mean “progressive.”

I’m sorry for our “stupidness,” Natural. Please understand that we’re not all like that.

[bannie]

I'm embarrassed at how funny that is to me!!!

[geologist]

Much ado about nothing

Very like grade school children bickering on the playground. My Dad can beat up your Dad ... Kid stuff.

Move on ...

there is nothing and no one that there can not be derogatory remarks made regarding ... in some way

Do not contribute to futile bickering MOO
