So who at NBC thought it would be a good idea for the special today to be, among other things, fried chicken, “in honor of Black History Month”?
Because, spoiler alert – it wasn’t a good idea at all. And now NBCU employee Questlove is bringing it to the attention of his 1 million plus Twitter followers.
Questlove, the band leader and drummer for The Roots (the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) tweeted this picture from the NBC Commissary at 30 Rock, with the comment: “Hmm HR?”
Look, I think this is all a bunch of hubbub about nothing. Let's face it the people at MSNNC probably didn't even realize what they were doing.
But you'd think someone would have asked one of the black hosts or contributors about this before they proceeded.
What? You mean they have no black hosts or contributors?
C'mon you have....

Whoa, now that I think about it. Do they even allow blacks on their staffs?
Maybe Fuzzy Zoeller did the menu up.

Apparently MSNBC does have a black employee, she's the cook.
