featuring fried chicken, malt liquor and faux gang apparel

They mean like in the mainstream Hollywood movies such as:

Friday
I'm Gonna Get You Sucka
Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

Sounds like fun! One of the best kept secrets in this country is the amount of fun-poking black kids do regarding MLK and Black History Month. Years ago when I was teaching in a Detroit high school, I spotted a black 9th grader passing around a drawing, which was getting a lot of laughs from his black classmates. When I asked him to share it with the class, it turned out to be a spot-on drawing of "Martin Luther Conehead," a la the SNL characters. The boy then went into a routine announcing, "Ah have some cheese! And if you have some bread, togetha we can make a cheese sandwich!"

The class cracked up and it took a lot of effort for me to try to keep a straight face!

As part of Black History Month, there was an MLK luncheon a few years back where the menu consisted of plenty of "stereotypical" selections, including watermelon but not fried chicken. I always wondered if "PC" had anything to do with that.
