Whole Foods removes chicken ad featuring Obama - U.S. News


An Upper West Side Whole Foods has removed a sign that used a drawing of President Barack Obama to advertise a sale on chicken after complaints that the ad was offensive.

The sign outside the supermarket on Columbus Avenue and 97th Street featuring an apparent caricature of Obama advertising an upcoming sale on whole organic chicken outraged neighbor Woody Henderson.

"There are certain things that have been used to put down black people -- watermelon, fried chicken," he said.

They could put my picture in a chickie ad. I love me some fried chickie!

No ####. It can't be as simple as "the pres likes fried chicken", it has to be "the black pres likes fried chicken". Freakin' morons.

I've never understood why Fried Chicken (and watermelon for that matter) are associated with black people and more recently racism. I'm not black, but I'll sit down to a 25 piece bucket of KFC or Popeye's without even thinking about it, and polish off a melon for dessert. And I'll jam a fork through anyone's hand who tries to get grabby without permission.


It's like associating sex with a particular race. Don't be stupid, we all do it. Don't give one crew all the credit and ignore the rest.

Didn't you ever read Gone With the Wind? Supposedly back in slave times, when the massa would have a party he would also treat the slaves to some goodies. Those goodies were fried chicken and watermelon (plus chitlins and a few other things).

Nevermind that the whities ate fried chicken and watermelon as well; for some reason those foods are associated with leftovers thrown to the darkies. This derogatory association was actually created by sneering whites, who probably enjoyed fried chicken and watermelon themselves, yet for some reason turned it into a negative.

The short answer is: because people are ignorant and weird. 8 out of 10. Crossing all racial boundaries.

Nope :/

Other than "Frankly my dear..." I know exactly nothing of this book or movie.

I see. Well that explains a lot.


As for chitlings, I've smelled that #### before, and I think I'd rather eat a full bucket of infected snot before I ate the tiniest smidgen of that.

This is the simple honest explaination for a staggering number of things.

Is there any basis for the assumption that the pres likes fried chicken? I mean, do we really know, one way or the other?

Ugh they're exactly what you expect.......disgusting!!! I tried it at my husband's aunt's house a few years ago because they were all raving about them 'Grandma makes THE BEST chittlins, oh you've never had them...you have to try them, they're soooo good' so I did because I didn't want to be rude. Well I almost barfed right there at the table....talk about not wanting to be rude. And they laughed at me, jerks!

Anyway, the best way I can describe it is a vinegary fart mixed with vomit in your mouth

That sounds much tastier than anything I was expecting.

Well if he doesn't then he's an alien.


And I don't mean like that goofy "He's a Kenyan" illegal alien crap. I mean like, he's a space alien. Fried Chicken is a universal good. The only beings on earth who shouldn't like fried chicken are other chickens.









For some reason this reminds me of a joke.

Q: What did one lesbian frog say to the other lesbian frog?
A: Hm... we really do taste like chicken.

And I agree. If it is found that PrezO does not like fried chicken, that will be all the proof we need that he's not a natural born American citizen and should be sent packing back to the planet of his birth.

Him & his wife prefer the finest, most expensive cuisine taxpayer money can buy. Fried chicken is something serfs would eat. it's equivalent to roadkill & a king...ahem...president should not be subjected to the same foul/fowl foods the rest of us eat

I eat chittlins and they are good. The thing is you need to know how to clean and cook them properly or they're gonna taste and smell like what goes through it...crap!

Sorry, Vrai, but you are wrong. You should have written "9.9864482 out of 10."

Whole Foods CEO calls Obamacare 'fascist'- MSN Money

Now that I've seen the sign in question, there is no mention of *fried* chicken - it's just organic chicken $1.99/lb. The fried part was completely made up by race baiting spinners who hate Whole Foods because they dared to dis God.
