A Reaction to Jim Cornette's Pattern of Racist "Heel Work" The title pretty much says it all.
*** addendum ***
Apparently, some people don't understand why fried chicken jokes in reference to black people is bad. I'll share this explanation:
It came from a film called Birth of a Nation.
D.W. Griffith's seminal and supremely racist 1915 silent movie about the supposedly heroic founding of the Ku Klux Klan was a huge sensation when it debuted. One scene in the three-hor features a group of actors portraying shiftless black elected officials acting rowdy and crudely in a legislative hall. (The message to the audience: These are the dangers of letting blacks vote.) Some of the legislators are shown drinking. Others had their feet kicked up on their desks. And one of them was very ostentatiously eating fried chicken.
"That image really solidified the way white people thought of black people and fried chicken," Schmidt said.
