Black people think fried chicken is goddamn disgusting.

Also, this is ridiculous and people need to stop being such pussies about literally everything in the world.

"How does this ad get on the air without someone thinking hmmm maybe we shouldn't do this"

Because there are sane people in the world.

Of course, black people like fried chicken.

EVERYBODY likes fried chicken.

The only thing I found offensive about the commercial was that Mary J. Blige was singing in it.

Seems to me like even having Burger King commercials could reinforce current international stereotypes lets get rid of those as well.

Nothing about this is racially offensive except to crybabies and idiots.

This is more offensive, insensitive, and bigoted than that commercial.

It's easy to make money when you're already rich.
