Brownsville residents and community leaders gathered Saturday for the second time in front of a store that changed its name to "Obama Fried Chicken."

They say they are upset about what they call a racist connection between the president and fried chicken, and that they have contacted the White House to step in.

The owner of the restaurant says the name is not meant to be racist and he doesn't plan on changing it.
