That link did not work

the grilled chicken is the bomb!

A sit in over chicken, but not Sean Bell? Priorities, people

Oh my
What is this Popeyes vs KFC
who’s people will cut up the best??

Why say you can use your coupon at anytime up until the 19th. Say what you mean and mean what you say… honor the damn coupon KFC

We do love us some chicken! I can see Fox news making this a top story.

Yeah that KFC is right next to Grand Central Terminal….almost everyone working in midtown walks buy it. Its not even a full sized KFC its the kind with Pizza Hut inside as well.

We always end up showing our tru colors….damn yall

SMH…is it really that serious people!?? Do people really want to scream foul over some free chicken. Some people need to get a life. Sad man…..sad….

by customs

All of the nonsense over some free and/or discounted chicken is out of control. I am sick and tired of hearing about people (especially black folks) making a scene over some damn chicken.

There may be a principal behind their irrational behavior but guess what, get over it. Whether a business has enough food to accommodate or will not owner a promotion is not the issue, it’s the type of people who are turning up in droves in a mob type fashion looking to once again get a handout!

Stop the freaking madness people!

I am very disappointed in Oprah for backing this entire KFC nonsense. For once, could she get anymore stereotypical black woman giving away chicken and two for the high obesity rate in the black community coupled with high blood pressure why would she give away a meal that contributes to the very down fall of black health. She was suppose to give a way a year supply of Whole Foods groceries since she’s miss high almighty

They staged a sit-in? They’re really pissing me off with this. Free chicken is not a civil right, and therfore, not sit-in worthy.

Come on people!! We have a black man in the white house. Don’t they know we are being looked at more now than ever. IT’S CHICKEN MAN!!!!! I try to live a positive lifestyle so that mabye we can break down a lot of the streotypes of black people. But when we do shyt like dis….wake up people.

And if I see one more f*cking story about black people acting like idiots over a chicken promotion…

You know I was like that too elle, I was like isn’t she feeding into the stereotype? I went to KFC just to see if I could get some chicken, and they won’t honor it. I’m like wow.

it really surprised me that she was supporting it. At first I thought it was a joke now I just am so dissappointed in her. She was practically the only hope we had in the media to uphold a positive image of black women and black’s in general and then she goes and seconds a chicken coupon! damn mess

This cannot be serious…please tell me this is a joke…..I am cringing and I am half way across the world…..ahhh…Oprah?? I refuse to beleive it….of all the endorsements!

All I can do, is shake my head. It’s sad.

How do I get free chicken?

Sit in over some chicken huh? i hear next week the waffle houses in mississippi, georgia, alabama and tennessee is giving away free fried chicken and watermelons to anyone who can present a valid EBT card.

the governors of each state have the national guard on stand-by.

I got my free chicken meal for lunch yesterday…the grilled chicken is good. I don’t eat fried foods. But I still can’t believe they are giving away that much food for free.

I mean 2 large pieces of grilled chicken, two sides and a biscuit! I felt weird like should I tip or something….

Well i’m glad they honored your coupon, because the KFCs here won’t!

Come one now where’s the integrity people don’t know how to act when they are given something they always have to take FULL and I Do mean FULL advantage!

@Lady Next Door
I love Baked Salmon!

@Smoov Says…

You man was right though, I was mad they gave me two big breast. I like wings. Some black people feel away about Oprah giving away the chicken.

The lady at KFC said Oprah is only PROMOTING it, she’s not picking up the tab…but who knows.

It’s funny how some black people feel Chicken is Stereotypical, when the white guys in my office(who are engineers) have already returned from KFC today(they went early today) to get their SECOND free meal. Four(Me and three white guys) of us went yesterday and six of them went today.

They said they are going everyday! White people don’t give a f&ck!!!!

Wasnt it KFC where Big A$$ Becky and Swollen A$$ Sarah
were taking baths in the kitchen sink???
(they must be on utube somewhere) lol
thanks Oprah
thanks a lot.
(Im playing I love Oprah…)
this is all Gayles fault
or Diddy’s

Most Obeses City

1. Memphis, Tenn.: 34% (That percent should be higher! I weigh 135lbs, for the record.)

Researchers have found that residents are aware of the area’s obesity problem, currently affecting 34% of its population. Among the causes they blame: high rates of poverty (bullshit, because they can eat more salad and less ribs and spaghetti) and a culture of Southern hospitality and food that values certain types of dishes–many of them fried–over healthier choices (true). Memphis actually sits on the western edge of a web of Southern cities along with Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, that also landed on our list.

Yes, salmon is great with some garlic, and lemon zest grilled. I eat mine’s with brown rice and some steamed string beans or a salad and it is good for me. Much better than catfish, in my opinion.

@ Back On My Swag…
I know man I know…it was just too funny when we actually pulled up to the KFC. The parking lot was PACKED!! People was waving their coupons around like they just didnt care…lol Rushing out their car…”get leelee and dem…we fixin to eat real nice tonight” the gay cashier was just too much. He reminded me of Cedrick the Entertainer and that skit of him as the school cook lol…remember that…”aint no mo green beans” OMFG! Man I was too threw.

Oh no, I love me some grilled catfish! I was raised on catfish. Lol.

spicy teriyaki with some lo mein noodles goes good with salmon, too!

AGAIN SHE DID NOT HAVE TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY FOR FREE, ITS HER CHOICE WHAT SHE WANTED TO GIVE AWAY. IT COULD OF BEEN A YEAR SUPPLY OF FRIED PORK OR ANYTHING ELSE UNHEALTHY, AGAIN THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO RECEIVE IT OR LOOK THE OTHER WAY-BOTTOM LINE! BIGGUPS TO OPRAH!

I don’t mean no offense with the catfish. the grease gives me acid reflux. can’t eat it.

My mom has bad acid reflux too, but she still eats it. Lol.

I used my coupon on the 5th with no problem. But yesterday, it was like everybody and they mama got the email/txt. Restaurants was running out of chicken, then there was the fraud issue talking ’bout people who had coupons starting with the #’s 1234 are no good. It was crazy!!!!

@Smoov
Yes girl I remember that! Ced was too funny with his hair net on. I would have been LMAO at them waiving the coupons. I seriously miss living in NY sometimes…people are so passionate and funny at the same time. NY’ers will protest ANY AND EVERYTHING! I love my people!!

@JuJu
I feel ya, I’m from Brooklyn and when it comes to freebies I don’t turn down nothing but my collar!!

I don’t care about stereotypes, I’ve broken most of them anyway..because I was suppose to be a fat, unwed welfare mother of 4 according to sterotypes.

I beat the odds and now I’m celebrating with my Free Chicken..YES I AM BLACK..AND YES I LIKE CHICKEN! Just like Chinese people like rice, Latino people like tacos…hey sometimes it is what it is!!

I wont abuse the system though, like my pink co-workers, I’ve had it, enjoyed it and now I’m good. But I’m going to have a jerk chicken salad for lunch today(still more chicken!)

Was there someone at the sit in talking about “I’m not angry, I’m disappointed. I was looking forward to this day for a long time” ? lol

ROFLMAO @ The We Want Justice Now next to the KFC pic. OMG DEAD!!!

Just give them the gatdaymn chicken – shyte, it’s a recession, folk is poor, times are tough, people have to protest to get free chicken?! Honor the freakin coupon!!

I rather Taco Bell anyway..LOL

To tell the truth I can see yt ppl in this same incident saying ‘now this just isn’t freakin fair,’ then calling up the local news & lastly making threats to sue Oprah.

Yeah, there are more important issues to protest.

I told everybody I knew last night this was going to happen LMAO!!

I work in a building at the corner of Madison Street. There are NO protesters or anything. However, the line is around the corner in an order manner. Looks like they’re letting people in a few at a time.

OOps!! I meant orderly manner.

And if I see one more f*cking story about black people acting like idiots over a chicken promotion…

___________

Not on 42nd Street!!! There are lots of whites and asians on line.

I had the chicken it was okay, just okay. Nothing like Sam’s ‘make your mouth water’ rotisserie or Yaya’s. I’ll MAY give it one more try after the promotion is over.

oops *I may*

As I sit at my desk eating a chicken breast, biscuit and cole slaw from KFC courtesy of Oprah Winfrey, I have to give her Kudos for offering to feed AMERICA for FREE for two weeks in this recession! THANK YOU OPRAH! If she had offered apples, oranges, butter or the government cheese, someone would have something negative to say. When have any of you heard of ANY restaurant giving away food for free for two weeks????????? Baskin Robbins gives away free scoops of ice cream once in a while but never for two weeks! You’ll either love it, hate it, take advantage of it or not. Instead of slamming this woman who has a generous heart, take heed to the example she’s showing America. Hopefully more people who have money will get on the bandwagon.

lol black ppl and their chicken…..omg i was @ one last night in my hood…..jus shake ur heads in shame.

This was so absurd to begin with. Yesterday I saw like 20 people standing in the drive thru window. Lines were long inside and outside. How in the hell are you going to offer to feed an entire country for free in a few days, crazy,lol!!!

All this over some free chicken,, People please get some damn control over yourselves..

And we all wonder why black celebrities dont do FREE things for our community… they know we gonna show our asses. smdh @ all of the stories on here.

DAMN IF BLACK FOLK AINT READY TO RIDE OR DIE FOR THEY CHICKEN. (I TRIED IT MYSELF..NOT HALF BAD!)

I can’t believe Oprah would put her name up there with this foolishness. Maybe she thought she was doing a good deed. But, KFC being promoted by an overweight black woman. Who thought this was a good idea for Oprah to promote? They should be fired. Oprah is not starving for ratings or money, she did not have to go there. SMH @ Oprah. Then again everything Oprah touches goes Platinum or better, so in the end she will come out shining.

I dont know why people esp the people leaving these black related comments about chicken dont realize there is a white man on the KFC bucket so obviously black people arent the only ones eating chicken…Plus Oprah the chicken is ALREADY PAID FOR so honoring the coupon is only fair!!!!

Oprah is not starving for ratings or money, she did not have to go there.
__________________________________________________

Exactly, she did it to feed people in this recession. To give you a break from cooking or paying for a meal.

PATHETIC.

I have to confess I got my coupon but I went early before the lunch hr hit so I was able to get in and get out unharmed!

white folks rule black peole.. they know what todo to make you look so stupid and stay poor…….

KFC the main one they said had the cloned chicken.. who gives away chicken.. for real!!!!!!

IS IM THE ONLY ONE THAT READ THE FINE PRINT BECAUSE IT CLEARLY SAID THAT THIS PROMOTION WAS MANAGERS CHOICE AND THAT CLEARLY MEANS THAT ITS UP TO THE MANGER TO DO THIS PROMOTION AND THAT EVERY KFC YOU COME BY IS NOT DOING THIS PROMOTOIN! BTW OPRAH IS NOT PAYING FOR THE CHICKEN KFC PAID HER TO DO THE PROMOTION!!!

wifey

white folks rule black peole.. they know what todo to make you look so stupid and stay poor…….

________________________________________________

Exactly! A commodity like poultry ain’t something people just give away -unless there’s a catch.

If people think that Dolly the sheep was the last time cloning technology was used, they’re in 4 a rude shock…

…but hey, “tastes just like chicken…”

@ PCF, u ain’t right….LOL

“……YOU KNOW HOW WE DO…WITH THE FOAM PLATE STACKED 3 FEET HIGHT WITH FOIL WRAP!”
———————————————-
This is my family to the fullest.

we will go and get free chicken but some of us are not registered voters???WTF

This makes the struggle for civil rights lok like ish…Sometimes, I really wonder about my people…

Over some chicken? Blk folks, SMDH

No words for this absurdity….

look*- excuse the typo

@cece

we will go and get free chicken but some of us are not registered voters???WTF
_____________________________________

Ditto.

—

I know!! All I can do is shake my head at that.

LMFAO! I knew this was going to happen. Glad I got mine! lol!!!

I am surprised at Oprah for supporting this. KFC is an establishment that is synonymous with racial stereotypes regarding black people. Oprah is not oblivious to the rhetoric that is being directed toward the black race regarding KFC.

During the presidential campaign KFC insults, epithets, as well as jeers were hurled towards Obama and the entire black race. If she wanted to support factory farming she should of done so quietly in an organized manner.

Generosity doesn’t need to be publicized. This is a public display for admiration.

This chaotic scene over free chicken is a disgrace.

i think that everyone here should give one of their many coupons to a homeless person..we can afford to by a 2 piece meal..cant we?
*looks around..hides all six coupons in my possesion*

KFC will be asking Barack for bailout money…you know chicken lover’s will be put them out of business…lol.

Why are black folks acting this way over chicken?

Listen, I don’t blame the people, everybody likes the idea of getting free stuff, (now come on who don’t?)the real problems are the KFCs, if they couldn’t accommodate the idea, why agree to it?

Especially in NY, where there are tons of homeless and hungry, the bottom line is this wouldn’t even be news if the KFCs would have just gone on and honored the coupons, they should have been prepared, they could have kept this from becoming news by just honoring the coupon and if they felt they just really couldn’ then put a sign on the window.

For those that are interested though, if your coupon was denied, here is a link giving a number to call.

http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090430-tows-kfc-coupon-download

Personally I don’t think she was thinking of anything stereotypical when making the offer, I think she was just trying to introduce people to an inexpensive, healthier, alternative to fast food dining.

Why won’t they just give them the chicken? LMAO

not true at all. Don’t fall for the hype.

that shits not true i just made it up.

and still they call africans nation hungry not knowing they are the hungry ones

Why does everything have to be racial……Could by chance her giving away chicken be just a marketing consept(a good one) for KFC. Just think about it: you have millions of people now trying your food. If you like it you would likely buy it again. And how else to spread your poduct then to have OPRAH give it away for free. It works for both parties. Be proud that a black woman can actually have the influnence on american culture to get a nation to try chicken (lets remember she had our country stop eating beef) And to be clear, its not just Black folks eating the chicken its EVERYBODY!!!!!! blacks, whites, mexican, asians everybody.

And for the record I am a black woman!!!!!!

Thank you Angela, that was my next thought, EVERYBODY EATS CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was a good marketing strategy.

oprah probably has stock in kfc or pepsi…see the bigger picture plz…
there is always an angle…

SMH @ black women just now realizing that Oprah is the biggest mammy on earth. Stop hopping on bullsh/it bandwagons. Oprah sold her sole for white America and that’s how she became successful.

SHE SHOULDA BEEN ENDORSING JOB FAIRS…. PEOPLE NEED MONEY THEN THEY CAN BUY THEIR OWN CHICKEN!!!!! WHY SHE AINT DO THAT IN A WHITE SUBURB!???? STOP PERPETRATING OPRAH-ELLL NAHHHH

bump what you heard…i got my free chicken yesterday! : ) ya’ll should have got there on time…

[...] WTF: Oprah’s Gift of Free KFC Sparks a Sit-In?!? [...]

NO JUSTICE, NO TWO PIECE!!!!!! NO JUSTICE, NO TWO PIECE!!!!

I’m not surprised.

damn, my coupon worked fine yesterday! as a matter of fact I was the only one in the drive -thru when I went to redeem it… it was really delicious!!

I still think popoyes is better though!

oprah give white folks cars, houses,and money but give the black folks chicken that aint even fried thats some straight up bullshit

Oprah, please hook Black people up some tasty KFC !
