When Jim Crow affected African-Americans (By the way, which Obama is not), African-Americans were forced to bring their own food with them. The food that was most often brought were fried chicken, watermelon and other food that was portable and easily carried. So in essence, when somebody made fun of a black person eating fried chicken in older times, they were making fun of him or her not being able to eat in local restaurants. Geez. This could have profound implications for the matzoh industry.

The 'Obama Fried Chicken' or our fascist enslaver sometimes called 'The Great ObamaNation'.

Activist Kevin McCall is one of the few racists left; well on the left.
Lets see, we also can not name a school after Pres. Obama because of the segregated schools a hundred years ago that were terrible to blacks.

I can sort of relate. I find the name Obama being attached to the Presidency to be “very offensive”.

It’s because it’s cheap and tasty. Very tasty if you get the chicken from the right joint. Personally, fried chicken was the HARDEST thing for me to quit eating. It’s probably because chicken’s one of those meats that absorbs spices very well. Anything can make chicken taste good.
Even the fake stuff tastes good too. I don’t know what I’d do without chick’n patties and chick’n nuggets. If you don’t know, chick’n is just textured vegetable protein made to look and taste like fried chicken. Speaking of which, I’m going to get some chick’n nuggets right now. Later.

I STILL don't get it... why is watermelon and fried chicken offensive to blacks? I like eating them and it certainly doesn't lower my expectations for ethnic groups... Of course it doesn't.
If you like watermelon and fried chicken, you must be black.

HAAHAHAA Too funny! Aren't we post-racist now? Let it be. . . everybody likes chicken! I got along pretty good with a black guy at work - to the point that we could talk frankly about race. In one of our discussions he said, "Dammit! I LOVE fried chicken and watermelon, but I don't dare eat it in public because I don't want to reinforce a stereotype!" I offered to share same with him in public but we never got around to doing it.

Maybe I can shed some light onto it. When Jim Crow affected African-Americans (By the way, which Obama is not), African-Americans were forced to bring their own food with them. The food that was most often brought were fried chicken, watermelon and other food that was portable and easily carried. So in essence, when somebody made fun of a black person eating fried chicken in older times, they were making fun of him or her not being able to eat in local restaurants.Sticky, greasy foods you eat with your hands don't seem to me to be first choices for a bag lunch.

Kevin McCall says the name is very offensive to African Americans.
Talk about a chip on the shoulder...I don’t remember one-eyed, pipe-smoking, sailors being upset about Popeye’s.

Another protest is planned for Saturday.
Get out the video cameras and tape all the protesters. It will come in handy in court.

I notice the sign says “Fried Chicken and Pizza”. Would that be Chicago Style Pizza?

Would you like some ketchup on your fries? Was there a protest over W ketchup?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_Ketchup
>>W Ketchup is a brand of ketchup made in the United States. The brand was founded by Susie Oliver, Stacey Hughes, Dan Oliver and New York banker Bill Zachary, along with 11 associates during the 2004 Presidential election campaign in reference to that fact that the Democratic candidate John Kerry was married to Teresa Heinz Kerry, who inherited an interest in the H. J. Heinz Company upon the death of her first husband, the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania Henry John Heinz III...
According the company’s web site, the “W” in the name officially refers to George Washington, although the single letter is also a common nickname of President George W. Bush...The company describes itself as “a private company that makes ketchup in America solely from ingredients grown in the USA and does not support the Democratic Party”.It makes a point of the fact that “every bottle is made in America, every label is printed in America, and every step of the manufacturing process takes place in America”,[3]
