Historically, chickens held special importance for enslaved black Americans, being the only livestock they were allowed to keep. Black domestic workers would cook fried chicken for their masters and, later, their employers. And then, after emancipation, women known as “waiter carriers” would hawk trays of fried chicken and biscuits to travellers through open windows as their trains stopped in stations.

But while these black cooks and homemakers effectively invented what would become known as southern food, their contribution was erased. The white folk took the credit for its creation, while black people were mocked and parodied merely as greedy consumers. It’s one of the most outrageous examples of cultural theft.

The racist 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, widely touted as the first blockbuster, attempted to paint black people as aggressive, disorganised and untrustworthy. In one scene, elected black officials are seen swigging from whisky bottles and putting their bare feet on tables. And then one man is seen animalistically gnawing on a chicken drumstick. In that one clip, the negative association was cemented.

Later, advertising posters were printed featuring caricatures of black people with big lips and grinning smiles eating fried chicken. One mini chain even went so far as to have such a character as its logo. Its name? Coon Chicken Inn. It remained open until the 1950s.

Makes no difference whatsoever.

Those guys on Hey Hey It's Saturday dressed up in black face in a Melbourne studio.

It was still racist.

I don't know if he's a racist - I've never seen or heard of him before.

But that's irrelevant, as I'm not calling anyone a racist.

I'm saying the ad is a racist ad.

Racially profiling them? How ridiculous! I challenge ANYONE to see any particular features (except perhaps their given names?) that might possibly enable racial profiling. Preposterous!

Yawn to this, moron:


A third person has been arrested over the shocking alleged murder of a Newcastle man who was allegedly stabbed to death by a group of aboriginals after he told them not to litter.

Queensland Police on Sunday arrested a 33-year-old man in Yeppoon over the death of James Callahan, 22, who was allegedly killed in Hamilton on November 17 while waiting for his order at a late-night eatery after finishing work.

Alivia Muriel Briggs, 33, and Jason Talbot, 27, who are both indigenous, were arrested the next day and charged with murder. Both were remanded in custody and neither had applied for bail.

Newcastle Local Court heard that Talbot was out on bail after being charged with multiple domestic violence and assault offences.



Superintendent Kylie Endemi, the Newcastle City Police District commander said last week that police would alleged Mr Callahan had been murdered for telling his attacked not to throw rubbish on the street.

“He simply made a comment to a group of people about littering. As a result of that comment, we will allege a group of people attacked him,” he said.

“We will then allege the victim left the area with a friend, walking up Beaumont St, and further allege a group of people attacked this victim on a second occasion.
“He suffered significant wounds and unfortunately passed away as a result of those injuries.”
