Chook Me!

Is this racism at Popeyes Chicken?

Ok, so my skin color is as black as an Oklahoma City night and I was getting all sorts of hunger pangs for sum greasy fried chicken. Now peep this, I go there and they don't wanna let me in cause it's supposedly closed for business. I'm tapping on da damn window like some goofy woodpecker trying to garner their little attention and they ignoring yo boy Zippy! All I wanted was some damn red beans and rice with a two piece but they denied me cause of pigment of my soft baby skin. I'm I trippin? or should I file a lawsuit against they fried chicken serving butts?

1. Your name explains it all!!!!!
2. If the door is locked and there's nobody there but employees, it's time to go home and learn to fry your own chicken.
3. Um, no, if they are closed, then they don't have to let you in. And they can ignore you, they don't have to let you in. Closed means closed.
4. Did it ever occur to you that you were denied service, not because of your skin color, but because the place was CLOSED? Oh wait....they probably saw you, a black person, get out of your car, and they ran to the door, flipped the lock, and pretended to be closed. Get a life.
5. It means they are closed! Nothing else!!!
6. damn you made me hungry for red beans and rice
7. If they were closed for business for the night, it wouldn't matter what color your skin was - they wouldn't want to serve anyone and would ignore anyone who was tapping on the window after the business is closed for the night. Next time arrive when the business is open and see what happens - bet you are served.
8. Play the race card!!
9. how do you know it was racism? were there white people inside eating? If so that still doesn't account for racism. Maybe you arrived after they closed and the "other" people eating didn't. I don't think this is racism so much as it is your inability to tell time.
10. Dude, do you know HOW hard it is to clean up a fried chicken greasy joint like KFC, LEE's and Popeyes? You almost kill yourself falling on their greasy floors. IT WAS CLOSED and they were CLEANING. If you were on the OTHER side of the door, you would do the same thing. Do you know you have to throw away your SHOES from working in places like that?? Your mom would not even let you into the HOUSE with those shoes on your feet. They stayed outside. Even the laces were greasy! It's all about what you want, what you gotta have, what you need and how DARE anyone deny you?
11. You ain't black. I've never heard a black man use the word 'garner' in my life. You only think you black-you white and Popeye's people don't like white people.
12. LOL it's pretty clear to me from your name, questions, and answers that you are a normal white guy who happens to be really funny and likes to see if people are really believe what your sayin. Your stuff always cracks me up keep it comin : )
