This shit happens all the time with those little Korean, Arab, Chinese non-educated store owners in Brooklyn and Manhattan man... trying to suck in non-educated peeps.

They don't even realize or care how that shit may be offensive. :smh:

Black President + Fried Chicken joint = :eek::smh:

To the list of lofty names that glamorize the city’s fried chicken stands, like Crown, Royal and Kennedy, one Brooklyn restaurant owner decided to add another: Obama.

From the restaurant’s perspective, the name change grew out of pride in the new president and a keen sense of commerce. From other perspectives, it was tone-deaf at best, and racist at worst. When the restaurant, Royal Fried Chicken on Rutland Road in Brownsville, changed its name last week to Obama Fried Chicken, the reaction was swift.

“Community leaders came. They told us we have to change the name,” said Mohammad Jabbar, 33, the manager. “They said if you don’t change it they will take action.”

It was the latest outbreak of commercial enthusiasm for President Obama and his family. An Illinois company tried to sell dolls that looked like the president’s daughters, and a Brooklyn brewery, Sixpoint Craft Ales, named a beer Hop Obama in honor of the community organizer in chief. ........

I'd suggest peeps read the entire article first.

This is a tough one.

I'm sure the owner meant well. But his enthusiasm turned into a misguided commercial attempt at his admiration for Obama. It's not like Jabbar is that racist IDIOT who runs that bakery in Greenwich Village/Chelsea with his "L'il Negro Head cookies.

Hell.

It's not like he's running this either...

I would have put a brick through their front window.
And when they fixed it, I would have put another brick through it until they finally got the fucking message.

When i lived in Oregon during the 90s, my Girl and I were driving to one of the beaches in Lincoln City. Saw a SAMBO'S on the way. You know my ASS flipped. Then she proceeded to give me a Oregon history lesson.

In my Angry Black Naivete, the place was actually "L'IL SAMBO'S". It had nothing to do with the major chain. All I saw was the word, "SAMBO'S". so it didn't make a DAMN difference to me. :lol:

Hence my earlier post.
 
I remember this bullshit from the 70's. Of course, we never ate there. Fuckin' CACs.

At the restaurant, Mr. Jabbar, who said he had been a lawyer and university instructor in his native Bangladesh before moving here in January, has, apart from serving food, become Obama Fried Chicken’s spokesman. The owner, he said, did not wish to speak to reporters.:lol::lol::lol:

Actually they might b fucked, there's a Kennedy's right across the street. So they gonn def lose customers, i pass there almost everyday, they empty everytime. As a matter of fact the first day they changed the signs there was a lot of arguing that morning from ppl passing by. the store owner didnt even want to come outside wen channel 12 (Brklyn news) came to investigate.
Its :itsawrap: for them...

That spot has some good chicken. Its' not Popeyes but it works when you are hungry.
 
I don't know if thats the worse think that could happen with his name. Hard to get pissed off with the guy if he is just showing some love for the pres. I might get troubled if the cat sold watermelons but this, I can't call it.
