     IKEA in Atlanta is slammed for offering ‘racially insensitive’ Juneteenth menu featuring fried chicken and watermelon
     UK Daily Mail | 06/22/2021 | Andrew Court

     IKEA in Atlanta is under fire after its management team devised a ‘racially insensitive’ menu for Juneteenth which featured fried chicken and watermelon. Bosses purportedly sent out the menu to employees in an email last Friday, saying they wanted to serve the foods to customers as a way to ‘honor’ the federal holiday. However, the management team – which allegedly featured no black employees – failed to realize that many of the food items have been derogatorily associated with black Americans for more than a century. According to NPR, blah blah blah blah blah blah

3. MSNBC Plays Fried Chicken Ad Instead of Hillary Racism Speech Clip
   theamericanmirror.com | August 28, 2016 | Kyle Olson

   MSNBC host Alex Witt wanted to play a clip of Hillary Clinton accusing Donald Trump of being a racist, but instead aired a Kentucky Fried Chicken ad.

   Witt was talking to Cornell Williams Brooks of the NAACP on Saturday when he teed up a portion of Clinton’s speech.

   “As you know, Hillary Clinton says that Trump’s campaign is appealing to a fringe in the Republican Party that is racist. I want to listen to part of her speech with you and get your reaction. So here it is,” Witt said.

   Inexplicably, the KFC ad aired with the MSNBC graphics still on the screen.

   “I am the extra crispy colonel,” Colonel Sanders actor George Hamilton said in the ad.

   “Absolutely not what we were going to play,” Witt said as they moved on.

   Black Student Complaint About Black History Month Menu Gets Black Employees Canned
   The College Fix | 2/24/2018 | Dave Huber

   This sort of racial damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t story appears every year during Black History Month: A student at New York University was aghast that a dining hall had planned to serve barbecue ribs, corn bread, collard greens, Kool-Aid, and — uh oh — watermelon-flavored water in honor of the celebration.
