It’s almost a cliché. First, someone talking about blacks makes reference to fried chicken, watermelon, monkeys or dogs—or even uses the indefensible N-word. Then, along with the inevitable apology, comes the kicker: I’m not racist.
The latest denial is from golfer Sergio Garcia. Asked a joking question about having dinner with his adversary Tiger Woods, Garcia said: “We will serve fried chicken.” He later apologized for what he called a “silly remark,” then added, “but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner.” …
“I think it’s human nature that if you’re a racist, you don’t want to admit it,” says conservative radio host Mike Gallagher.
“If Tiger said, ‘Let’s serve tacos at dinner with Garcia,’ the world would go crazy,” Gallagher said. “When a bigot tells a bigoted joke and they get called out on it, the pattern is, I’ll say I’m sorry and maybe it will blow over.” …

Racists are people who are obsessed with race, who mention the race of everybody in every story (except black crime perpetrators).
Do people from various cultures around the world prefer different foods or do they not?
“Fried Chicken” is not “racist”. It’s recognizing a cultural preference.
waaaa frickin’ waaaa
When blacks stop popularizing it via rap music and stop using it themselves, I’ll care. Until then, nope.
Huh, what do dogs have to do with it?
I happen to love fried chicken and tacos.
What a racist.
Exactly. Think about the word itself: race-ist, i.e. one to whom race is an ideology, as in social-ist. It’s not about which word you use to describe pigmentation.
You can’t say “fried chicken” any more? Noted. What about “watermelon”?
Lol, no, the world wouldn't go crazy. Most of the world isn't obsessed with such associations. And you can jokingly associate some specific food with any group on earth.
I wondered the same thing.
I forgot my Libtard decoder ring.
Why even write a story focused on race? Why it’s because those who criticize Obama also break the cardinal rule. They say it isn’t because of the color of his skin. “We’re not racist.”
The AP lays out the pattern so their readers will associate the two, criticism of Obama and racism. Can’t mention chicken and blacks, and can’t criticize a Black man’s polices unless it’s likewise, racist.
In my life I have met a few White racists. I have seen White racists on television. But I have never seen as many racists as when I look at today’s journalists, and the Democrat party membership.
Not if a negro is in the story also.
I Happen to love fried chicken and Im white..when did fried chicken become code word for black
The difference between associating a Russian with cabbage soup, a Frenchman with snails or an African-American with fried chicken, is that the latter is ‘racist’.
Race is the political sledgehammer blacks use to get what they want without working for it. See affirm action, set asides, minority scholarships, and the rest of the endless number of truly racist programs for blacks only. I vomit on their unfounded and phony race-baiting.
