Free Popeye’s Chicken Offer - Turns Racist - Oh the Horror!
By Evette on Apr 29th, 2009|
Okay so first of all, I have to admit that Popeye’s chicken is DELICIOUS! Straight up, may not be for you “lettuce chewing - carrot chomping folks”, but if you are in the mood for some juicy, tasty chicken then hit em’ up!! That said, I have to admit that I too would be disappointed if I went to my local Popeyes Chicken only to find out they ran out!! But NOT upset enough to waste my precious gas and go driving from city to city looking for a Popeyes that still had free chicken. I’m just saying…
(Click on Image to watch the News Footage) This news footage plays like an SNL skit, totally plays into the stereotype that “African Americans LOVE their Chicken”. I mean not to stir the racial pot but how would you light folks feel if I ran a newscast about how a bunch of Caucasians lost their cool when they ran out of organic vegetables at Whole Foods? Not so funny now is it? (Actually, that image is pretty funny.. but you know what I mean.. ) Well hopefully this Popeyes Free Chicken Offer won’t cause a ruckus.

did people go this crazy at Baskin Robbins for a 31 cent scoop of ice cream? Now that might make me crazy! I love ice cream.

I’m not going to lie, if Wholefoods ran out of organic vegetables, white people would be screaming the end of the world…and as a white person, who shops at a local co-op store, I would still think it was hilarious. Keep in mind also that it is not that any other ethnicities didn’t show up, its that the camera crew was probably only there for an hour, MAYBE, which increases the liklihood. Then again, its minnesota, so it was probably slanted intentionally, its just hard to know.

Michelle, you have to be one of the either stupidest or ,most sheltered people in America. Do you live in an all white community that does not have Radio, TV or Internet? We know the answer to that. So, Get a Clue! The reporter was not singling out black people. It was not that white people would have not been offended by this lack of chicken.. they would have..
The simple truth is there WERE NO WHITE PEOPLE AROUND !
This is an all Black community. Its a fact. White people do not go into black communities to purchase chicken when they have Popeyes in their own neighborhoods.
I’m from New Orleans. We have communities like that here. We see this separation of white and black all the time. I’m white. I LOVE Popeyes Chicken; it’s from New Orleans too!

Yeah, Michelle lives without the internet. That’s why she writes for a blog. And sure, you’re not racist. You just stay away from black communities.
