The only problem is that monopoly implies a white collar crime being committed when you go to jail.

Haha! I just showed this to a black coworker. At first he was like "motherfu..." and then proceeded to die laughing.

Are you saying you don't like fried chicken? I mean I know it's a stereotype, but is it not also delicious for everyone?

I'm white, by the way.

US "black" culture can trace most of its culinary traditions to the south, where fried chicken was invented. Aside from being delicious and inexpensive, fried chicken also made good picnic food, which increased its popularity during segregation when many restaurants were off-limits.

If you want to meet a people/culture who REALLY love fried chicken and watermelon, hang out with some Koreans.

Good grief, that's amazing. I really hope it's true, because it makes total sense.

When it was introduced to the American South, fried chicken became a common staple. Later, as Africans were brought to work on southern plantations, the slaves who became cooks incorporated seasonings and spices that were absent in traditional Scottish cuisine, enriching the flavor. Since most slaves were unable to raise expensive meats, but generally allowed to keep chickens, frying chicken on special occasions spread through the African American communities of the South. It endured the fall of slavery and gradually passed into common use as a general Southern dish. Since fried chicken traveled well in hot weather before refrigeration was commonplace, it gained further favor in the periods of American history when segregation closed off most restaurants to the black population. Fried chicken continues to be among this region's top choices for "Sunday dinner" among both blacks and whites. Holidays such as Independence Day and other gatherings often feature this dish.
