This ought to be interesting……..

It was a matter of time before this type of s hit would have happened. What an insult to our culture!!!

c’mon now,u guyz have gonne wayy too far.Now there’s nuttn ghetto about President Obama.He prolly wouldn’t have gotten elected IF he was ghetto so y’all better stop preaching that ghetto bulls**t bout him

Was it ignorant black folks or ignorant white folks that put up this restaurant?

*Crackin da phucc up* lol… *REALLY CRACKIN DA PHUCC UP*

LET THAT MEN EAT WHAT HE WANT, THAT’S A REAL BLACK MAN FRIED CHICKEN

Last time I checked it was a free country.

WOW WHAT HAPPEN TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!..THIS F**KED UP COUNTRY..

This is very insulting.We’re stereotyped and put down in every way under the sun and now this.We need to wake up.

who the f**k cares what the name of this place is called for 1 and for 2 this business is locally owned and it’s in a black neighborhood who probably enjoy the fact of having a chicken place named after their first black president!!!! I betcha if it was saying George Bushes white crackers n barell no one would be saying s**t.

smh…. thats stupid.. are u serious… they going hard cuz the chicken place had Obama name in it.. wow..

gosh this is so stupid. protesting over petty stuff. yall childish. grow up.

they probably make some good ass chicken ! that’s their way of showin graitude to our Pres. let it be

It’s hard to believe that so many people on BP dont understand the reason why the signs are deemed offensive…it reinforces negative stereotypes that whites and other races believe about african americans. I for one dont want uneducated people of other races believeing that (my people) African americans are jive talking, chicken and watermelon eating, tap dancing coons. I do agree they should change the names and i fully support the protesters.

To Whom It May Concern;

I personally don’t eat fried chicken anymore…why you say…well think about it…the chickens go from chick to chicken in about 3 weeks or so because of steroids. Now if I eat a chicken that has steroids in it, what does that do for my belly or my health? Look around, you’ll see that kids are seemingly bigger and more developed than when I was growin’ up. Anyway I’m really tired of the culture bashing etc. Tell ya what, if you don’t like the sign, use your buying power and don’t eat there…maybe then they’ll change the name. We collectively as a nation are overweight in comparison to the rest of the world. So worrying about a sign’s name is the least of our problems. Let’s redirect the energy we waste on sensless stupidity to bettering our health, wealth and wisdom. Nobody says we must eat chicken from Obama’s Fried Chicken. Let’s get back to cookin’ at home and eat less fast-food which by the way seems to be killing people through diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and the like. I heard this during a martial arts movie…”fast-food fast-death…slow-food long-life,” meaning if you take the time to prepare fresh natural foods you’ll tend to live a longer life than you would from filling up on fatty fast-foods. We were given 5-food groups, all the rest is outside the realm of health. Anyway, I would rather see our people teach our youngsters to avoid drugs both legal and illegal. If we really want to study and complain about something we’d be asking why over 100,000 people die from medical mal-practice each year; 1500 people die daily from cancer caused by smoking; why our overweight condition costs 93 billion dollars per year. There are statistics out there that would boggle your mind. So why bother worrying about silly stuff? Think about it while I’ve been writing this response thousands of people have died. Don’t believe me it doesn’t matter…click this website & see for your self the numbers are crazy…http://www.cdc.gov you may highlight copy and paste or just look it up if you want to see what’s really goin’ on and how people are checkin’ out of this world over stupid stuff. Well that’s it. Peace y’all, live & love life.

Okay I had to add this to the one I just wrote below this. They should at least consider some other names based on “Colonel Sander’s Kentucky Fried Chicken.”

Possibles:

1. “President O’s Hawaiian Fried Chicken”

2. “President O’s Illinois Fried Chicken”

3. “Commander & Chief’s Hawaiian Slow Roasted Chicken”

4. “Commander & Chief’s Illinois Rotisserie Chicken”

Lighten up people. Some people are complaining about this while munching on Famous Amos cookies; pourin’ Aunt Jamima Syrup on their Aunt Jamima waffles & pancakes. It’s about knowing the process of creating a product getting it registered, trademarked, copyrighted, product or service marketed & advertised. Okay the name game is important and a lot of people are sensitive about names of products. So before you name your business it’s important to make sure you do research, because what a name means in one name or community may mean or have a different affect in another. Well I’m outta here. That’s a wrap, stick a fork in me I’m done. Peaaaaace!!!

lol….cops kill people n get less press than this….lol

Sigh. It don’t take much to get black folks goat.

That is a retarded name for a friend chicken place though. They must want to go outta business..but I bet dimes to dollars its gang of negros in there eating..

Maybe I take a different point of view; people who are offended shouldnt spend their money in places they are offended by. Therefore, when their profit suffers, the owners will get the point. So if you are offended, dont go. If you don’t like drugs in our communities, focus on the consumer demand of the product first, then the drug problem will go. If you don’t want illegal immigrant workers, don’t hire them to save money on construction projects or support businesses that depend on illegal immigrants. You have the squash demand before you attack businesses.

Could someone please explain to me why the h*ll this is “news”? BP cracks me up. Thank goodness for NPR and the BBC.

And is this truly in different from damn near everybody trying to cash in on Obama. Those fake coins they sell on TV to those bootlegged Airfoce 1′s. And how much money did Obama get off of any of that? And I highly doubt he even cares about this little issue.

It’s really an FYI. BP is simply letting the world know about things that are happening in OUR community that the “regular”, excuse me, WHITE, news stations may not let you know. As a minority in this country, you all SHOULD be f***ing offended! We all know that Obama’s favorite foods are chili and pizza. They are feeding into and ON the stereotypes (Watermelon, chicken, grits, etc.) and capitalizing on them. You would be pissed if there was something on the menu like “The Insane Hussein” (Barack Hussein Obama), or the “Soul Train Sandwich” or something. You would be very p*ssed off. It’s not like BET is a voice for us anymore. White-owned VIACOM owns BET, which means what they want us to know about our circle is severely biased. Look at the skinny, yellow-faced chicks they have all over the channel now. Everything about what they do is to distort our image so that we may continue to hate and destroy ourselves. In the past few years, we have not had very many mammoth things to celebrate. Obama’s presidency IS America’s Dream, but it was OUR dream far longer than its hypothetical fruition was vocalized. TAKE A STAND! IT DOESN’T MATTER *WHO* CREATED THIS. IT is IGNORANCE at its finest. To make matters worse, it’s bold, disrespectful, and in our faces. Imbeciles!

I bet you folks in N.Y.would speak if somebody wanted to name the subway system something dumb like “The Harriet Tubman Express.” Hmmm… Same sentiment!

oh gee wiz… someone please pinch me and wake me up from this NIGHTMARE…

i think the whole obama restaurant is just a name why must everything that is posted out int the public be about race all the time u see i think most poople like the ones on here will never move forward because they just keep looking back instead of moving on i mean its funny to make fun of each other once in a while but that councilman has nothing better to do that to waste time and tax payers money creating protest as to what a restaurant calls themselves

Personally I think its hilarious! Kennedy got his name stamped on a F.C spot, why not OBAMA?? oh right, EVERYTHING is racist now, I forgot. Smh.

What’s the big deal? i mean they’re showing their love for obama and people are hating. Get a life, there’s better things to talk about than this!

if obama don’t have a problem with it why should they…they have things named after other presidents and political moguls…whats wrong with praising obama for his work??

I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S PEOPLE THAT DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM…BLACK PEOPLE STEREOTYPICALLY EAT FRIED CHICKEN THEREFORE CALLING IT OBAMA IS SAYING BECAUSE HE’S BLACK HE SHOULD HAVE A CHICKEN PLACE NAMED AFTER HIM
BASICALLY SAYING ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE SAME
THEN AGAIN WE DON’T KNOW THE REAL REASON BEHIND THE NAME MAYBE THEY ARE JUST OBAMA FAN’S…I MEAN THEY DO SELL STUFF OTHER THAN FRIED CHICKEN
I DUNNO REGARDLESS I SEE THE PROBLEM AND WHY PEOPLE ARE BOTHERED BY IT

BLACK PEOPLE WHAT WE CAN DO IS BOYCOTT THESE RESTAURANTS. THIS IS SURELY RACIST.

thats nothing. i know a obama weave store here in brooklyn..lol

This is not done in honor of Obama. It is done in exploitation of him. I’m sorry but the president doesn’t endorse this and neither should we, as black people.

“If you don’t stand up for something, you fall anything.” If you think it’s ok, think again. Not only do our people suffer from ignorance but we put up with disrespect. I bet these same people that think it’s ok will be upset if the people behind this restaurant say that they named it Obama because he’s black and black people love their fried chicken.

Honestly, black people are too sensitive. We get uptight about anything that has the slightest racist undertone. Tooooo Sensitive! This is funny right here, so just laugh and shake the sh!t off.

Just a couple months ago we were proud of this man’s accomplishments and success. It Seems like everyone is cashing in on his name Fans or not! We can’t write this off as nothing. The owner has not been quoted or gave a statement saying that he/she “is an obama fan”. So everyone saying this isn’t a big deal is speculating on that stores behalf. We live in a country where if your (famous) name is on something advertising for profit, you get residuals. Let this would of been named Coca cola Chicken best believe Coke will be suing!

Obama wouldn’t be happy with this so why should we?

AND SECOND OF ALL THAT STORE IS NOT BLACK OWNED!!!!!

Lol.. atleast someone in America is making some money since Obama got in office. :x

That’s a NO! No. That one you can simply pull the plug on it.

I dont think this is racist..maybe just a little sin ce the owner is not black..but if this was in a non black neighborhood yes it would

ITS funny I dont see anyone here all up tight about BOOTLEG MOVIES and ,music CD’s that people make copies of an EXPLOIT for there own profit while not paying the artist a dime. I KNOW BLACK OWNED BUSINESS that sell Unauthorized merchandise (including OBAMA SHIRTS exc.) see no complaining/protesting about that ..oh my bad this owner is white they are not allowed to exploit black people ,only other black people are, or does it just depend on the how big of a public figure you are..

Now if someone named the fried chicken after paris hilton no one would b***h right.

Its not really racist. Its just plain embarrassing

come on na people….this is just wrong…u odnt see no Bush fried chick in da heart of texas, they need 2 just take the sign down and go back 2 whateva name they had before. Putting the presidents name on a chicken joint is just wrong and very stupid, regardless of whom the president is, u shouldt disrespect the president like that.

STOP AKTIN LIKE SQUARES THE OBAMA CHICKEN IS SOME FIRE LIKE I TASTED IT MYSELF

mlk drive,wasgington d,c?………..make money b***hes.

mlk drive?washington d.c?make money b***hes.

The councilman should be protesting against second-hand education in the public school sector. He should be protesting to regulate utility bills, so it can be easy on the citizens. Protesting for ppl that is not covered by insurance….but chicken shack’s name…negro please

omfg…protesting a chicken shack…wtf…come on now…can they find something else to protest about..this is ridiculous.!!!

NOT 1 BATTLESHIP OR AIRCRAFT CARRIER IS NAMED AFTER AN AFRICAN AMERICAN, ALL OF A SUDDEN SOMEONE USES A OBAMA’S NAME FOR A CHICKEN AND PIZZA SHOP AND ITS A PROBLEM, I THINK IT’LL BE GREAT TO SEE BARACK’S FACE ON A BOX OF CHICKEN!!

What’s next Obama malt liquor

barack is prolly not the only guy with the last name obama. They should protest on something that makes sense. If any one should be protesting or making a big deal about it is the obama family them selfs.

I saw Obama the Messiah t-shirts and I saw no one upset about that. I agree with the prevous person who said that our President is not the only person with the last name Obama.

If, having the name Obama is going to allow someone to live the “American Dream” then what is the big deal. How many of the street hawkers sold Obama buttons, t shirts, calenders, etc… Charles Barron is an idiot and why people listen to him is beyond me.

oh wow this white ppl just jealous

BLACK PEOPLE DONT HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THEMSELVES, THAT THEY WOULD TOLERATE SUCH A RACIST STATEMENTS. WHY CANT YOU STOP BUY CHICKEN FROM THAT RESTAURANT.BOYCOTT THE RESTAURANT ONCE AND FOR ALL. FOR GOD SAKE.

This is not only and insult to Obama; it’s an insult to all black peoples. If people can’t see that then something’s wrong…real wrong. Wake up Black people. Whites have always associated things like fried chicken, watermelon, kool aid have always been associated with black peope.

Ha,ha,ha,ha,…. I can’t help but to laugh at such BS!!! Big deal what good is that going to do a for all these unemployed black people? How about the one’s locked in these slave azz,plantation prison’s?
Not a damn thing. This guy won’t go protest the real people behind the eugenics,population control
genocide plan against black america. But he is soooo insulted that he will go protest for obama and some dumb azz,damn nasty slave chicken.
The kkk and these other racist hate groups,must be laughing their heads
off at dumb reactionary type black people.
Some slave protesting cause he mad they named some chicken after him.
Give me break,what BS,just some silly update slave type behavior.
This won’t free black america,if they take away the name.

[...] N.Y. Councilman Protests Obama Fried Chicken Tags: Food, Humor, Texas Recommend to friends! [...]

So now that Black people are turning ridicule into cash it’s a problem?Thousands of McCain supporters made millions by posting our President’s face on everything from signs calling him and his family monkeys to a damn Nazi sign? WTF.These same haters made fun of him putting his face all over signs stating that he likes chicken and watermelon.SAME THING WITH THE YOUNG BLACK WOMEN (23) OPENING HER OWN RESTAURANT AND COMING UNDER FIRE FOR USING THE WORD “HO” TO NAME HER RESTAURANT FAT HO BURGER. If it aint White it aint right I guess. LMAO.

I would think that people would be honored to have something named after our president.
