My local KFC pretty much exclusively employs coloured skin employees. I was completely unaware of any racist associations regarding KFC or its name.

It's not the letters KFC that are racist. It's the stereotype that all black people like fried chicken... and watermelon... and collard greens... and pigs feet. I guess a new, modern stereotype would be red and purple Kool-Aid.

 

Any way, it isn't the food or the initials that are racist. It's the context in which they are used. Get a grip people.

Please take this to another planet or at least the water cooler and start a thread there.

I like fried chicken and watermelon. I'll pass on collard greens and pig feets.

I'll also pass on buying anything from Larry. :cloud9:

errrmahgawd. Ya'll have turned my weak attempt at humor regarding the current mod methods into some sort of racial krap.

 

If ya'll can't post a baseball cover or a link to a strike go do your thing in the water cooler!
