According to Fox News, a white guy eating chicken to mock a white guy is somehow racist.

“It’s racially insensitive is what I think,” said Hardaway on Friday’s edition of “Fox & Friends.” “And can you just imagine if that was a Republican doing that to a Democrat, I mean just think about that for a moment.”

Consuming too much fried chicken is broadly recognized as an offensive stereotype against African-Americans, who often had to rely on chicken as a staple meat during bondage in the South. But Barr is not black, and the expression “he’s a chicken” to suggest cowardice has completely different roots, dating back to performances by 16th-century Shakespearean comedy actor William Kemp.

1. that claim was made here by one poster as well...

WTf? Bill Barr is black now?

But, of course, Diamond and Silk are drumming this up for Fox-- honestly, there is nothing to be said of them except to laugh at how their opportunism is making Fox and its viewers to be the simpletons that they are.

2. The utter stupidity is beyond belief !!

The idiot doesn't get the not-subtle-at-all difference between "fried chicken" and 'fried chicken.'

3. So anything having to do with fried chicken

immediately brings race to these people's minds? Who's racist now?

8. Since when does faux 'news' care if someone is racist?

[Initech]

12. Only if it's against white people.

They don't care about racism against anyone else.

15. If they can say fried chicken and black people together in a sentence a few times it's worth it

to appeal to their viewers
Plus they got to associate the word democrats

[unblock]

9. lol. racists trying to play the race card. fail.

[GeorgeGist]

10. Who's gonna tell them ...

[StarfishSaver]

11. The only way this would be racist is if fried chicken had some unique association to black people

And since it doesn't, the assumption that race or racism has anything to do with this at all is, in and of itself, a sign of some serious racial bias.
