NYC's 'Obama fried chicken' restaurants ruffle feathers

Is this outright racism or just an Obama supporter harmlessly naming his food joint in honor of our president?

The man who owns one of the places is a black man himself so it leaves in perspective as to whether this is purposely set for a controversy and set racial overtones or is it acceptible and non-offending?

It's only just begun. We'll be hearing about "Obamaville, Arkansas" one of these days.

Count down: 100......99.....98......97......

Why would it be racist? What does fried chicken have to do with Obama or mixed race people from Chicago/Hawaii?

...reminds me of the Mall in Blues Brothers "This place has EVERYTHING...!"

Chicken
Biscuits
Dinner
Seafood
Burger
Coffee
Donuts
Gyro
Pizza

He could have went with a number of other food options, besides fried-chicken.

having said that...naming a store after Obama is "odd" to say the least. AND.....KFC wouldn't be around if only black people liked fried chicken.
