Nigger says fried chicken is racist, feels guilty for eating it
I've always loved fried chicken. But the racism surrounding it shamed me
Back then, I was not even conscious of the racist baggage fried chicken came with in the US. But it was seeping into my subconscious, and I felt it.
As with most things, what happens in the US winds its way over to the UK. Including, it turns out, racist tropes. In my day job as a writer on a national newspaper – my supper clubs then were still a hobby – I sat next to someone who would often crack the same joke when I stood up to go for lunch. “What you getting?” he’d grin. “Fried chicken?”
It infuriated me, but I could never articulate why. My colleague’s was a specific type of racism, a sort perpetuated by liberals so believing in their supposed lack of prejudice they think they can make racist jokes ironically. It wasn’t the first time someone used a racist slur against me that went over my head, like the time someone called me a golliwog and I laughed along with them, too young to understand the inference. But with fried chicken it runs deeper.
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.

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to avoid every nigger you meet.

I was working for the Florida Institute State of technology College in Melbourne a while back. We had to fix some tiles in the kitchen area. That day I saw the eighth wonder of the world.
I saw a nigger kitchen worker take a fried chicken leg,put hot sauce on it and stick it between two slices of toast. When he was done, all that was left was the bone.That boy put those big dishpan lips to work.
I’ve never seen anything quite like that. Other than when I lived in New York and used to go to the Bronx zoo during feeding time at the gorilla cages.

I’ve seen one take a chicken wing, put the whole thing in their mouth and suck every piece of meat off it in one fell swoop. Bone was clean as it gets. It was truly amazing.
