Notice how he didn't change his accent to sound "black." Notice how he spoke to them like he spoke to every other crowd before him. He also didn't serve them fried chicken.

NBC Black History Month Menu

Questlove, drummer for The Roots, band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, posted a photo of NBC's lunch menu on Twitter.
