NO, get over it! :thefinger

Not racist at all. The dudes filming it were dumb.

 

[rwill25]

I've seen worse!

I didn't know Willie Randolph was freelancing as a amateur actor for YouTube. :1orglaugh

A couple of stoner black dudes having some fun....

So fucking what? Not racist....just stoner.

there are much worse things than this. I wouldn't cry over it.

Just a little bit of well intended marketing mixed with a little ignorance of sensitivities. No one ever intended to insult the French with "french fries" or Germans with hamburgers I don't think. Maybe those examples are bad but the point is there are food with references to people or places that intend to honor.

See. yep, that's exactly what I was trying to say. Lol! Thanks for that.

To be honest I could care less

No ...

It's called marketing, simple marketing.

Looks like the owner of the resturant is from India.

I'd rather eat at KFC.

KFC has grilled chicken now. :yummie:

Pretty smart marketing. I'd open a bar here in Vegas with his name across the marquee if it'd get a crowd to frequent the place. I may not like him or his politics, his wife, his stupid puppy or the bail out but I'd happily take money from the suckers, I mean the people who support him.

It doesn't matter who uses Obama's name for marketing...someone, somewhere will figure out how to make it racial.

I mean, look at the Obama Chia Pet. People are screaming racism because the plant will grow to resemble an "afro" on a terracotta head. Yet not one person said boo about the Chia Mr. T in 2000.

I know, the absurdity. The thought that a person of African-American heritage might have an afro if they let their hair grow out. Like that would ever happen.

If it was called Kennedy Fried Chicken before and there was no problem before, then why should there be for Obama Fried Chicken.

We all know the steryotype the guys in the video were alluding to but I do not think this perpetuates it at all. It's just a chicken shop owner trying to ride the wave of Obama love to make somemore money, and who can blame him?

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

I wonder what Obama thinks?

Racism is a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

Obama Fried Chicken has nothing to do with it.

PS: I think that political corectness fighters care about racism much more than those, whom they want to "protect" from racism. Example:
