What’s Behind The Popeye’s Chicken Craze?

What does the Popeye’s chicken craze say about African-Americans, stereotypes and the influence of social media?

It is the biggest viral marketing event we’ve seen in years.  Popeye’s chicken sandwich has nearly broken the Internet.  All across the country, lines for the sandwich have been hours long.  Social media posts, jokes, commentary, even arguments about it have been seen on line.  Those arguments aren’t only on line.  We’ve seen temper tantrums and fights when the sandwiches are sold out.  What’s going on here?  What does this say about us?
