Fried chicken; the soul food that healed America

It’s high time we added another name to the pantheon of civil-rights champions who helped America heal after the racial conflicts of the mid 20th century. Colonel Harland Sanders. And for once, he’s neither an African-American nor was he ever a minister in the Christian church, like MLK and John Lewis. But nobody and nothing has brought more American’s together than the Colonel’s secret recipe. Not McDonalds. Not Dominos. Not Taco Bell. I am reminded of KFC’s pivotal role in the history of human rights by this story. Seems the various intelligence agencies in Pakistan have just sleuthed out that KFC is an American company! Who knew? Apparently not those guys!? So, are the Pakistani’s rallying around this champion of Human Rights? No! Instead, they are boycotting it! KFC is American and America funds genocide in Gaza. Therefore, boycott KFC. Case closed! Luckily, America is developing some rules of law to prevent such antisemitic outrages. Already in over half the US states, it is against the law to support the BDS movement, on account the topic makes some folks uncomfortable. Whereas genocide doesn’t.
