So who at NBC thought it would be a good idea for the special today to be, among other things, fried chicken, “in honor of Black History Month”?
Because, spoiler alert – it wasn’t a good idea at all. And now NBCU employee Questlove is bringing it to the attention of his 1 million plus Twitter followers.
Questlove, the band leader and drummer for The Roots (the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) tweeted this picture from the NBC Commissary at 30 Rock, with the comment: “Hmm HR?”

The big question: How did fried chicken become black?
She looks pretty PORKED UP to me. LOL
A local grocery offered a Fried Chicken Special on MLK’s birthday.
You’d have thought they started selling slaves by all the gnashing of teeth that went on.
I’m a Yankee who has worked a total of about 2 1/2 years in the South. I like everything on that menu, except I’ve never had Jalapeno cornbread. Glad to hear that it’s not a common item. I do stay away from chitlins, brains and pig’s feet.
As an Irishman who has corned-beef and cabbage every St. Patrick’s Day, it’s not easy for me to understand why someone would be upset by an ethnic-appropriate meal during a period of celebration.
Go to the “Baby Fats” web site and you see her teen age picture one when you might say was “Not Guilty”.
Today this scumb bag is Guilty!
Took me a sec too - see #81 for hint. Heh! ;-)
Yes, it is making my mouth water.
I eat Tex-Mex on Cinco de Mayo.
What no mac and cheese?
Did they invite Fuzzy Zoeller?
Back in the 50’s just about everybody kept a few chickens for eggs and good eating. What I could never understand about Cuba, those people couldn’t even keep chickens. And we always said anybody could grow chickens. Let em scratch out a living and the yard eggs were better than ‘’cage eggs’, INMHO
***Nope. An RC Cokcola and a moon pie.***
Been listening to Brother Dave Gardner haven’t you!;-)
***Orange soda.***
You wants one of dem dare Urnges do you?
Hey I actually heard a black man talk like that back in 1968!
***Phenix City, Alabama,***
That was a b-a-a-d place back in th 1950s!
I don’t eat meat anymore, but the rest of the menu sounds great. I’ll have a slice of watermelon, too. Nice end to a tasty meal.
LOL!!! You got me dead on.
“are they going to do Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for breakfast?”
Sure, why not!
I’ve heard white men talk like that. It’s a regional dialect or the remnants of one.
