Kinda sickens me with him smacking his lips while eating chicken.
Expect the next album to have bobby lashley sucking on a watermelon. Still a darn good song by slick though.

That whole sterotype is a joke anyway, of course most black people like fried chicken and watermelon, most everyone likes fried chicken and watermelon, they're delicious!

I never get what constitutes 'racism' these days anyway. Here in Houston, I have a KFC, Pizza Place and a Burger joint next door to each other. At meal times, the KFC always has a huge - HUGE - line of black people waiting for food. The burger and pizza places, not so much.
So judging by this experiment, it's fair to see that black people in my area love fried chicken.
Racist? Stereotyping? Or just a fact?

I'm not sure eating chicken naturally shows racism.
That's my little poltical ditrabe.

Well it just seems crazy to me the way some people interpret it. My idea of racism is something insulting or discriminating.
To say something like 'Most black guys have frizzy afro-style hair' isn't racist, that's a fact. Ditto the fried chicken thing. To say most black guys like it is true. It's not an insult, not a prejudice, not a stereotype. It's just a harmless fact.

its not the fried chicken, its the big lips thing. Black people I think typically will have bigger lips. Notice the showing of lips in and out of the whole video. Chicken thing aint helping either.

Saying all black people have afros is like saying all Canadians live in igloos and don't know what phones are.

Saying all black people have afros is like saying all Canadians live in igloos and don't know what phones are. And that right there is why we have micommunications with racism. A classic example of someone not reading something correctly, misinterpreting it and causing trouble. Where do I say all black people have afros? I most blacks naturally have frizzy, fuzzy afro feeling hair. It's part of their genetics. Is that a stereotype? No - it's a fact. What next? Me: "I think it's true to say that black people generally tend to have darker skin that white people" Other: "You racist pig!!" |

Racism is the ideal that your race is superior to everyone elses. Most people call stereotyping and discrimination racism, which is a misconception. of course most black people like fried chicken and watermelon, most everyone likes fried chicken and watermelon, they're delicious! I concur to the highest magnitude. |

The fried chicken thing is interesting because as I have been told and read it has deep ties in the African American community. Cooking foods in hot oil came to the United States from West Africa on slave ships. Because Slaves were not allowed to pass on their language and were forbiden from learning how to read and write they had very little of their culture that could be passed on from generation to generation. The two things they did have were oral traditions be it singing and stories and culinary traditions. Over time the white slave owners and in general white southners began to mix culturaly with the slaves. The slaves stories about an african rabbit trickter where taken by Joel Chandler and written as the Uncle Remus stories, providing a templete for Bugs Bunny. The slaves work songs and testments to God became gospal music, the music that helped inspire Elvis Presley early in his career. Chickens were fired in oil because the were plentyful and tasty. In the post slavery south fried chicken was sometimes called the gospel bird, because it would be served after church.

Lol, we went from Slick's "Jive Soul Bro" video to Slave Ships in West Africa.
I don't see this thread being up long for some reason.

Of course not, anything REMOTELY against the grain and with a little gritty substance is soon removed, locked and deleted by the dear nannies...er...I mean mods. Then some of us will be put in Timeout while others are left to watch Sesame Street.
