Isn't it, oh, let's say, funny when New York liberals arbitrarily latch on to some far-fetched piece of "injustice" and then spread it around Twitter and the blogosphere to gaggles of their catatonically liberal friends? It's like high school but with less rational thought and faster moving gossip.
Schoolchildren were all we could think of when we saw that the new cause célèbre amongst internet activists is a Popeyes Chicken commercial starring "Annie the Chicken Queen." Annie is a black woman who speaks with a Southern drawl and loves Popeyes' chicken. Racism! Or, y'know, pretty much the standard fried chicken spokesperson for the past few decades…
Why is everyone so outraged all of a sudden?

Ya, can't see racism everywhere. I always go to Chinese restaurants and see Chinese people, every darn time, just saying.
So the Obama's arent growing watermelons in the White House garden? :)
arugula, I'm sure!
I freaking LOVE Popeyes chicken, it is so delicious!
Try to get a job as a black actor in an ADT commercial. You can play any part except the burglars. Buglers have to be Caucasian, no exceptions, because that's the way it is in real life.
I loved LaWanda Page!! she could make a sailor blush with her potty mouth. Can't say that ever I liked Church's but Popeyes is da bomb!
"I always go to Chinese restaurants and see Chinese people, every darn time, just saying."
So is this moron saying that fried chicken is the cuisine of black people like chinese food is the cuisine of chinese people? What can one expect from a that level of person but that kind of post.
I say don't look for racism where it doesn't exist. That being said Jossip deliberately posts articles like this just to get people like the moron who posted that to post offensive material. When did this site become so hell bent on the constant race-baiting. It is making the site very negative where it used to be be witty, intelligent , and fun.
@getreal:
It used to be "for sale", just saying!
This really is race baiting. Does Jossip also like to throw fighting dogs in a ring? Same mental capacity.
@getreal: @bam-a-lam:
Race baiting? Are you nuts?
I, for one, am white and love fried chicken.
Although I do crack up every time I see that one white chick say she's "the cook here" in that KFC commercial. Not because she's white, but because KFC's don't have cooks that delicately bread the chicken in herbs and spices.
@cord: Don't think so, Cord.
NOBODY NORMAL looks at fried chicken together with black people and thinks anything racist. This is like trying to provoke gender stereotypes that just don't exist anymore - except in small minds.
@getreal: you are such a judgmental hypocrite. You pretend to be a champion of things "witty, intelligent, and fun", but in the same posting call someone a "moron". Insults are acceptable if they come from the witty, intelligent, and fun GETREAL?
@fanofgrendel: Wow for once you are right. I guess even a stopped watch is right twice a day.
@Rhonda:
I apologize Rhonda for calling you an idiot, a moron, and a zenophobe today it was inappropriate. This is not a joke I'm serious it is beneath me and immature. I do think it is important to treat other posters with a modicum of respect whether their actions warrant it or not.
@cord: Not nuts if you were really concerned with addressing racism you would not pick these silly examples. These articles underline the false idea that blacks people imagine racism, that it doesn't really exist, and that we are obsessed with finding it in everyone and everything. I don't find this racist and I would bet you don't either so what is the purpose of the article. What was the hoped for result?
Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.
Cord, I had to get me some Popeye's. Now I can READ the article. You were talking about "them" and I was taking face value.
Sooooo, never mind.
Well now everyone has gone home for the evening.
There are no witnesses here, no one for you to call out to.
I'll ask you again. Shall we begin now, or will we have to wait until the drugs kick in?
@American Dreamer:
I think your drugs have already kicked it, have a nice time!
I'm leaving to have lunch at Popeye's right now for chicken and biscuit.
@fanofgrendel: Don't blame you - it's good. I like the shrimp Po Boy.
@bam-a-lam: I'm back. I never had Popeye's before. It was fantastic. Will try shrimp next time. Only about a 15 minute drive for me.
@fanofgrendel: I KNOW! Love that chicken from Popeye's. The red beans & rice are good too, and when they say "spicy" they mean spicy. Glad you made the effort to see what the fuss is about. It was worth it, wasn't it?
Drew;
Hope Popeye's appreciates you!, just saying
@fanofgrendel:
Ah, FanofGrendel, I noticed you stopped posting and abandoned this site just as soon as I took over.
oes this mean I won? Could the prodigious FanofGrendel really have surrendered this site to me so quickly? Thats it?
You just leave it all behind, take a suitcase, and I bask in your tail lights, keeping everything you've left behind?
Where's the satisfaction in that? Well I'll tell you, there is none.
And you don't get off that easily my dear FanofGrendel. Concession is not an option.
I'll be keeping tabs on you, and when the time is right, I'll be back, and you? You'll twitch, and you'll be crying uncle long before I decide I've won.
Nutso the Squirrel
@fanofgrendel:
Everyone has abandoned this thread except for you and me big boy.
There will be no witnesses here, no one for you to call out to.
Now I'll ask you again politely just one more time:
shall we begin now, or will we have to wait until the drugs kick in?
Nutso the Squirrel
@fanofgrendel:
It makes perfect sense I wouldn't scare you away from this site. The only thing you've ever been good at.
I let Getreal get away. But I can't let you walk away from this, not this time. They'll think I've gone soft, and I can't afford that.
@American Dreamer: You realize nobody can see you, right? Your typed words are the same as other people's typed words with the exception that yours reveal you to be impotent on many, many levels. Poooor little you.
@fanofgrendel: what's up with you and all the crazies lately?
@yrfavoritekt: It's only one crazy in various guises. Just ignore him/her/whatever. The neighbor's cat is more of a bother.
@fanofgrendel: Weird. Hopefully Jossip will put an end to it soon!
