I saw this and it was just the wrong clip
not a kfc commercial that they ran.
I'm a witness first hand. TOTAL FAIL.

The look was because the clip they showed was not the one they were expecting. It was NOT a KFC commercial. I wish I could remember what they showed I think a clip of a campaign ad and not the alt right speech she had given.

What clip did they actually run if it was not the KFC commercial?

Does anyone think Alex Witt would have had that half smile on her face if they had really shown a KFC commercial?

Really?

I can't remember but it wasn't a commercial at all. It was a news clip that wasn't related to what they were talking about. A little embarrassing but not this social faux pas.

That my point exactly.

I said something else and you've done some wacky editing to make it seem like I said this.

Thank you. I love a class that participates.



PS You spelled liar wrong in your edit of my post.

So somebody painstakingly edited a cellphone video of a television screen? To what end?

I'm sorry but I don't understand why fried chicken and watermelon is an insult to blacks? Who (regardless of race) doesn't like fried chicken and watermelon? Why is it a "black" thing? Lets be serious, fried chicken and watermelon is just delicious! I am glad to see that George Hamilton is working again too.

I found THIS:

Where Did That Fried Chicken Stereotype Come From?

But then, Schmidt says, came 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-hour film 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.

So the 'chicken' stereotype is associated with the KKK.

About the KKK:

Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks.

Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders.

Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.
