So who's the racist?  I find nothing racist about offering fried chicken for
sale in honor of Black History month.  My thought is, "ooooo! Fried chicken,
on sale!"  I actually had to google for the reference to fried chicken to
find out why it might be considered racist and promotional of black
stereotypes.

I personally feel that the person who complained and got onto the news has
done more to promote stereotypes than the store manager and his chicken
sale.

I eat fried chicken, and greens - but I won't touch chitlins...
