Are the owners black or white? Why is that not reported in the story because it matters. I hear young black people every day calling each other ni#$@er while I ride the subway.

The Chicken and Watermelon are racial related Ideas, no doubt about that – BUT the Kool-Aid has nothing to do with Racism. Kool-Aid as it is being used here refers to Jim Jones and his little tribe of people that drank the cyanide laced grape kool-aid – Jim Jones for those of you not in the know was the Leader, or minister of the Jonestown massacre. So when you use the kool-aid it refers to the Obamabots blindly following obama and “drinking” his cyanide laced political policies. So yea, kool-aid has nothing to do with race – maybe the lady who did that picture might have thought it did and thats why she drew it that way, but thats just another bit of ignorance on her part.

Idiots on both sides. Who would live where bullet proof glass is required at a chicken restaurant? Keep the name. It fits!

Baron??? LOL @ Baron the racist who probably wants the name changed to “Fry Whitey”

I am not qualified to comment on whether or not naming this place Obama’s Fried Chicken is racist, exploitive or both. But I do find interesting the second business these fellows recently opened called “Dr. Mary Pat’s Dildo Emporium.”

Hickok, LMFAO!!! Thanks for the laff.. HAHAHA!!!!

Maybe an open market will open an Obama Watermelon Patch section?? Hm? Hm?

Once again, an innocent victim of random and senseless “Awaiting Moderation.” Sigh……

Laffing at dummies,
Perhaps these chaps could open a chain store. How about, “Michelle Obama’s Totally Tasteless and Inappropriate Clothing For Gangly and Awkward African American Women.”

Wowwwww   April 4th, 2009 - 9:59 am

The ignorance in the comments on this site are so juicy, I just can’t step away!

I’m more concerned about the apostrophe in the word nuggets. WTF, over?

Some Black citizens are experienceing Obama-mania. So seeing a business put his name on it was onlya matter of time. They obviously want to attract black customers and Obama’s name or picture is a good way to do it. I see Obama products in stores and on TV – posters, books, calendars, magazines, coins, plates. There is a whole Obama industry. I hope the Obama family is getting some of the profits from the use of their name.

I want a Dashboard Obama like they have on the Glenn Beck website!
Seriously…
If I lose my way I can just ask my Dashboard Obama if I should go left and he’ll rock back and forth and it lets me know – Yes, I can…

why does it always have to be a racism thing????? honestly, the guy said they like Obama.

im telling you, its not the conservative republicans who “cling to their guns and religion” are are the racist ones.

From the story: “City Councilman Charles Barron said Friday that he will organize a demonstration next week outside the Obama Fried Chicken in his Brooklyn district if the sign doesn’t change.”

Now I ask you. What kind of mental case worries about what someone names a fried chicken stand? It doesn’t say *KKK CHICKEN*. It doesn’t say *STALIN’S SAUSAGE*. It doesn’t say *HITLER’S BRATWURST*. Will they find fault with “Bush’s Baked Beans”? How about “Carter’s Peanuts”? And according to the above quote in the article there’s a Mayor with serious mental issues. Why is this guy in any office?
