MSNBC host Alex Witt wanted to play a clip of Hillary Clinton accusing Donald Trump of being a racist, but instead aired a Kentucky Fried Chicken ad.

Witt was talking to Cornell Williams Brooks of the NAACP on Saturday when he teed up a portion of Clinton’s speech.

“As you know, Hillary Clinton says that Trump’s campaign is appealing to a fringe in the Republican Party that is racist. I want to listen to part of her speech with you and get your reaction. So here it is,” Witt said.

Inexplicably, the KFC ad aired with the MSNBC graphics still on the screen.

“I am the extra crispy colonel,” Colonel Sanders actor George Hamilton said in the ad.

“Absolutely not what we were going to play,” Witt said as they moved on...............

Later she started her own fried chicken chain which went belly up.

I vaguely remember that...............

This is so confusing to me. Maybe because I grew up in a VERY diverse neighborhood. (The only family of blonds for many blocks.) But, I do not understand why fried chicken and watermelon are off limits to “African Americans”. I just don’t get it. We grew up on fried chicken and my favorite fruit was definitely watermelon when we could afford it.

So, what is the offense??? Did Blacks create this dish or did watermelon come from African? Or is there some kind of taboo that I don’t know about? I never had this issue in our neighborhood. If I asked a friend if they wanted to come over for chicken dinner, I did not have my mouth washed out. Again, probably the blond hair causing my lack of sense about this issue.

It goes back, WAAAAAAAYYYYYY back to nearly the Civil War. Black people were used in ads for watermelons and fried chicken, in a very UN-PC manner, right on up to the Civil Rights era.

These are but two of a sample.................

I used to have an old book THREE YEARS IN ARKANSAW in which a black woman is found to be apparently dead. No one would touch her to find out so they cooked up some fried chicken and passed it under her nose. Since she did NOT make a grab for it they concluded she was really dead.
