Manager: NYC 'Obama Fried Chicken' will not change name
The Associated Press 4/8/09
The manager of Obama Fried Chicken says the New York City restaurant now plans to keep its name despite protests.
Mohammad Jabbar said Tuesday the owner has changed his mind about replacing the sign on the front of the Brooklyn business. He says the name was chosen as a tribute to the president and four out of five customers support it.
The restaurant is in Brownsville, a predominantly black neighborhood.
Activist Kevin McCall says the name is "very offensive to African Americans." Another protest is planned for Saturday.
The White House says the administration disapproves of using the president's name and likeness for commercial purposes. It has not commented directly on the issue of racial overtones in the restaurant's name.

Only a racist would think only black people eat fried chicken. :whatever:
-
What racial overtones? Obama is mostly white. White people eat fried chicken (it's a favorite at picnics). Is that the racial overtones? Why would real blacks be offended by using the name of a mostly white muslim to identify fried chicken? Would "Step'N Fry It" be more tasteful? Or "Amos and All White Meat"? How about "Rochester's Roaster"?
Racial overtones? How about racial insanity?

Well, yeah. And lots of those so-called "community leaders" are amazingly racist.

With a half-black President, the NAACP and other racist organizations like it have lost half their reasons to exist. They MUST find something to complain about.

I think the odds are high that the manager Mohammad isn't white, in which case the owner is unlikely to be a racist.

...but a white person might see the sign and think bad thoughts. That cannot be allowed. [/DUmp mode]

:lmao: Obama Fried Chicken...it rings true

I wonder if they have "all white" or "all dark" meals or if you can only get a "mixed" dinner. :fuelfire:

The "community" doesn't have a problem with Sylvia's in Harlem. It has a photo of a black woman (Sylvia) in their logo. Sylvia's serves a Southern Black cuisine. Fried chicken, collard greens, butter beans, etc. (all "to die for" by the way).
Why the two faces?

I saw a black woman on TV hawking Popeye's chicken. Racist?

Obama Fried Chicken is part of loose confederation called Kennedy Chicken. They also go by Kennedy Fried Chicken and even Kantacky Fried Chicken. They are mostly run by Afghan immigrants.

For the record, and once again, Obama is NOT "half Black". He is 50% white, 45% Arabic and 5% Black.........

That's why in my post I said Ofake-o is mostly white, so I didn't understand why any real Black folks would care.

Obama is not the first Black President. He is the seventh. The previous ones are:
Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson
Abraham Lincoln
Warren G. Harding
Calvin Coolidge
Dwight G. Eisenhower

I still think that's why he didn't want his original BC released to the public. It does not say he's black. Typically the race of a newborn is matched to that of the mother in mixed-race births.

Bingo.
I've been saying that for months.

i think it would be appropriate for him to serve whine with his fried chicken.

Two things.
I'm not sure where you got that info from, but Arab is language. It is not race. Arabs have been different races. Being Arabic doesn't cancel out one's race. That also explains why people from Iran are not Arab even though they look like their neighbors.

Referring to someone as an Arab has more to do with geography than vocabulary. African isn't a race either, but we all know what it means, right?
I have a good friend with a wife who was born in South Africa. She has blond hair, green eyes, and a milky white complexion. She's an American now. She calls herself an African-American. She truly is one. Ain't it funny?

Charlize Theron was also born in Johannesburg, S.A. I guess she is an African-American, also. :-)

I see your point. With that said, I don't see how Obama can be Arabic as in being like those of that culture. He lets his wife wear these beautiful dresses and shows her face. He lets his kids show their face. Whether you agree that he's a true Christian or not, that is the religion he's practicing (not Islam). He likes Beyonce, not Arabic music. I don't see anything Arabic about him.

Newsflash:
Arabic does not equal Islamic.

Yeah, they all look alike, I suppose. :whatever:

I realize Arabic does not equal Islamic. I just couldn't help but think the concept that he's largely Arabic might have something to do with his father's Muslim background. If it wasn't, I apologize.
