I still can’t believe this is real. Apparently Wanda Sykes found out that NBC had a “Black History Month” menu and wasn’t to pleased about it.
It’s not that the food was bad, it’s just that the context it’s presented in is sort of, well, racist.
First, the whole fiasco with Conan and Leno and now some subliminal racism? I have to agree with Wanda on this one, all of NBC must be on drugs right now to let this slide.
I’ll admit, Black History month is a weird time of the year for just about everyone. It’s not really a holiday, so there isn’t a specific type of food that’s associated with it. Still, pairing the word “black” and “fried chicken” on the same menu might not be the best way to celebrate.
