--ooooooo shiney!

I go to Popeyes often and see plenty of non black people there. But in this news story they're only showing black people? I find it impossible to believe they couldn't find one white person trying to get chicken to film. I would go so far as to say they could have easily found dozens of white people, or Asians or whatever to film. The media cracks me up. It's sad shit like this is acceptable

Who cares who they found and who they didn't? Corellation != causation. Just because there's a bunch of black people and a fried chicken joke doesn't mean there's any sort of racism involved. It's stereotypically hilarious, but so are all stereotype jokes. They're stereotypes for a reason, people, and there's nothing racist about it. Even then, who gives a shit if there is? Oh noez, a news agency edited out all teh whities (not) buying popeyes chicken! The world is coming to an end! The fucking sky is falling oh noes!!

How would you feel if they ran a story about child molesters and only showed white men? People period love fried chicken, they obviously were playing up this stereotype to amuse simple minded people like you.

Actually, I did see a TV show about child molesters - it was a cable channel, but I don't remember which one - and IIRC, all the convicts were white.

Popeyes = FAIL


If you want chicken, go to Costco and get the whole bird for 5 dolla!!!!

I dont.
When you see a black person, its politically correct to call them an african american.
And if you're white and not politically correct then you are EVIL!

Actually, it's PC to call them black. It's also logically correct.

the only choices here are KFC and Mary Brown's.

We used to have Church's through Harvey's, but they stopped doing it. It was the best chicken and a great bargain, too.

dang... all we have here is KFC

i'm pretty sure there are more choices in London and beyond. no one cares about Windsor

edit: oh, and SHO NUFF

So just drive over to Detroit?

It is logical, but it is NOT PC. The two are mutually exclusive.

Actually, you are wrong. It is PC to call someone black. African American was the weak stab at being PC during the 80's and 90's. You're clinging to past, we're beyond that.

I didn't interpret the story to be racist at all, it didn't even cross my mind. What concerns me is that the word n*gger appears almost 200 times in the Youtube comments, usually in an extraordinarily harsh and racist context. Some of those comments are brutal.

That's America for you, if a liquor store had ran out of wine they wouldn't have ran a news story showing angry white females complaining there wasn't any more wine. So why did the run this one? The people who used the N word in the comments represent far more than just a few people. A lot would think it, but wouldn't actually come out ever say it. Some might not even know they're thinking it, but if this story made them laugh that hard they should take a good look at themselves in the mirror. At best this is "ok, it's black people and chicken, I get it, it's MILDLY amusing" The majority of my friends are black, and while most of them like Chicken, I have never seen one go ape shit over it. So I don't see what exactly is so humorous here. The stereotype goes well beyond simply that blacks love chicken. That's no more funny than white females loving wine, which is another stereotype which is pretty much true. I'm not sure where people get the idea that there are millions of black people who run around screaming and dancing when they eat Fried Chicken. They pretty much eat it like any white person I know.

I know many black people that like wine. They drink the good stuff like Cisco, Boone's Farm, Maddog 20/20, all the quality one's.

All you mentioned are 10 times the price of most wines white females drink. 2 Buck Chuck & the 5 liter shit in a box come to mind. What's your point? Oh that's right, you don't have one.

I'm sorry Que. I guess I should have made it more obvious that I was being sarcastic.

Maybe the popeyes is located in a predominantly black community? What then?

Doubtful, I've lived in predominantly black communities and if Popeyes there ever ran out of chicken they wouldn't have been this polite. With the exception of the lady in the SUV all the responses were very unremarkable and low key. And even her segment was pretty tame. Since they obviously were shooting this footage with the mindset of playing up the stereotype they would have gotten much better footage in a predominantly black area. We would have seen plenty of cussing and threatening of employees lives lol. But if they had shot this story in Brooklyn, it would have been overly blatant on their part. They probably decided to use the area they did so they could still project the stereotype. But not so extremely that it was painfully obvious what they were doing. The media is excellent at portraying stereotypes about all people in a very subtle manner.

I don't even understand why anyone finds this stereotype funny, I mean it's Fried Chicken. I guess people are easily amused *shrug*

How do you feel about this?

lol made me giggle. truthfully tho, id not have noticed if you hadnt posted it in this thread.

 

[Capt Caveman]

That's Racist!

 

[BUTCH1]

The Popeye's near us has great chicken but always screws up the order! I got tired of going back so they could fix it and stopped getting chicken there. If you want to make your own chicken do what church's does, soak it in buttermilk first for about hour then bread and fry, you won't be disappointed..

 

[sandorski]

No Chicken, but damn that was a lot of Stolen Vehicles!! :Q

have you done a cost analysis on having to buy a deep fryer for someone who's only going to eat it on rare occasions vs paying a couple bucks for a piece of fried chicken once or twice a year?

loki, you're a lifer here so you should know it's just another ATOT elitist. They never eat fast food, cook everything themselves, brew their own beer, grow their own wheat, and slaughter the alternator sized cows themselves. Hell even the worst local pizzeria is still a million times better than national chains to them.
