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.

Wouldn’t have to be Black History Month. They could just have that as a regular cafeteria menu and the race baiters would scream racists.
But NBC is missing watermelon so they’ll get a pass.
This is a joke, right? Please tell me that these people are not so cacooned in their “I can’t be a racist, I voted for Obama” (which has now replaced “I can’t be racist, I have black friends”) that they cannot see how blatant this is???
It doesn’t take a lot of talent to coat something in pepper and spices and fry it in butter...............
Is this sponsored by Fuzzy Zoeller?
and where’s the pepper sauce to douse down those greens with?
Obviously, this is magical Yankee, liberal, free trade, free range, organic, equal opportunity, Northern fried chicken. Made by union cafeteria workers. No offense could possibly have been intended.
“It doesn’t take a lot of talent to coat something in pepper and spices and fry it in butter...............”
with all due respect, yeah it does. I can cook a mean pot o’chili, but for the life of me I cannot fry chicken.
THAT IS SO F’N FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!IM CRYING!!

Frying good chicken is a God given skill. Dont knock it.
Fried chicken is not “blackened” chicken.......unless you leave it in the oil too long.......;^)

My husband would come home, smell something burning and ask, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Never failed.
