Chicken? - I'm Baffled!

What is that? Chicken drumsticks?

I don't get it.

@ant, they toss fried chicken into his case. Here is some info from Wikipedia on fried chicken and it's relationship to African American stereotypes.

Since the American Civil War, traditional slave foods like fried chicken, watermelon, and chitterlings have suffered a strong association with African American stereotypes and blackface minstrelsy. This was commercialized for the first half of the 20th century by restaurants like Sambo's and Coon Chicken Inn, which selected exaggerated depictions of blacks as mascots, implying quality by their association with the stereotype. Although also being acknowledged positively as soul food today, the affinity that African American culture has for fried chicken has been considered a delicate, often pejorative issue. While the perception of fried chicken as an ethnic dish has been fading for several decades, what with the ubiquity of fried chicken dishes in the US, it persists as a racial stereotype.

Thanks.

Which is part of the story behind Colonel Sanders and the racism behind KFC.

What's with the...special...faces they're pulling prior to the drumstick toss?

Before I saw the drumsticks I thought this was about their terrible off rhythm dancing.

Oh God they're hideous! If I could go back in time as Godzilla I would destroy civilization to prevent their creation.

Hey! F**K YOU little kids!

you know who loves fried chicken? black people. you know who else loves fried chicken? FUCKING EVERYONE.

They are trying to do this dance.

omg, you need to a mandatory sensitivity training course!

I don't know what this has to do with race, but I do know that I go to the um...less savory part of town, which happens to have more concentration of African American members then other parts, to get the best damn fried chicken in the city maybe the world. Goes for BBQ too.

Am I racist? Is it coincidence? Are the restaurants racist for contributing to the stereotype? Or is there something to this?
Here in Kansas City we have the best DAMN BBQ and fried chicken in the nation.

But I always lock my car door while driving there. Objectively speaking.

This is almost as whack as those commercials for KFC that M.C. Hammer did back in the 80's-Oh wow-It was here on Videosift!
