Yesterday while I was at the bar watching American football, my friends with smart phones (mine is dumb) knew the very moment when Terry Bradshaw said that the black Miami running back, Reggie Bush, looked like he was chasing a bucket of chicken. Terry claims that it was a running joke about his white co-host Jimmy Johnson who loves fried chicken. The problem is, nobody knows that inside joke, so Terry comes off like a hillbilly racist.
Terry is an idiot. He isn't funny and he has no tact. How can you not know that when you make a fried chicken reference about a black guy, you're going to piss people off? The good news is that his idiocy gave us a lot of laughs at the bar. And I was laughing through all 3 waitresses that I went through. Yes. I closed out 3 tabs - that's how much football and beer I consumed. Don't think I had any fried chicken, but maybe I did. Long day.

It's weird that black Americans are associated with fried chicken because Colonel Sanders was white the last time I looked. What do they think of the Colonel? Is it racist to mention him in front of them?
Heff: Were you watching live? Gosh, I wish I had caught it live. I love embarrassing stuff.
Gorilla: Black folks take no offense to the colonel himself. I will say that they might take offense to someone saying they love KFC here in Chicago because Church's and Popeye's are more coveted in these parts.
