?uestlove posted this on twitter and its getting some play on blog sites. Lotta people calling racism, but personally I don't see the problem. Are we going to not act like those foods are not staples of the African-American diet? I understand the portrayal of African-Americans and Fried Chicken hasn't historically been done in a tasteful way ie
But as long as it is not done mockingly I personally do not see a problem. In the words of Nas
"Like Greeks with his falafel,
Italian with his to-mato pasta
What roti is to a rasta"
Every culture has its staple food. Does everyone from that culture nessicarily eat that? No. But IMO, as long as it is done in a respectful way, I don't think it is wrong.
In your opinion did NBC violate?
