WHAT IS 365BLACK?
At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind 365Black.com. It's a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald's. Plus, you can also have a chance to win exciting once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. So make sure you visit often — you just might get inspired.
“Like the unique African Baobab tree, which nourishes its community with its leaves and fruit, McDonald’s has branched out to the African-American community nourishing it with valuable programs and opportunities”
I miss the days when we simply celebrated the achievement of ALL Americans.
Dang someone already bought 365white.com through a proxy service.
It was probably McDonald's.
I’ll take a double meat with cheese, fries, and a coke... and make it snappy!
I wonder what sort of coercian was used to inspired mcd's, a normally very well run business, with this.
When was that?
Theres more chinese out there... so we need a 365, Chinese and I’m lovin it!
OOPS... theres American Indians...365 Im lovin it\
365 days of racism...
Them Black dudes? Should be just plain old Americans unless they are fresh immigrants. oops, thats discrimination again.
Unless we have 365 days Unconstitutional Immigrants....Presidents day! I’m Loving it
Time to boycott McDonalds
The error is is saying “I am better than you”
I want good things for my family,
but not at the expense of my neighbor
It depends on how you look at it
but most of the time, IMHO,
efforts like this become
“I'm wonderful, and you're not”
Not that the Caucasians in the USA have had
such a good record in this regard,
They've not, and error is everywhere
Not even a year ago......!!!!!!
Democrats are working on making that a reality - coming soon and to known as Amnesty 365.
Fast food, political correctness and politics = home cooking at my house where I can support my own issues and politics - not some CEO's or public relations firm idealism.
That one is easy. My wife and I raised two kids well into their teens without ever feeding them food for McDonald's.
Look for the McRib to make a comeback in 3...2...1...
This crap is getting out of hand. Has been for some time. However until white people stand up united as whites and say enough it not only won’t stop it will continue and get worse. In fact eventually they will grind us into the ground.
Well that decides it for me. Burger King and Wendy’s it is.
Liberal Dictionary: Colorblind: Notice everyone’s color except if they are white.
Nope. Rally's/Checkers for me.
Uh oh, the mods are goin’ to be busy here.
We have Sonic and Red Robin here — love Red Robin as a sit down. Sonic is HQ in Oklahoma City.
I just clobbered McDonalds as I took their survey. Told them I am not going back to McDonald’s and a few other choice things.
Yep. Their food is bad for us anyway.
I did the same with the feedback.
It amazes me that they believed they could do this. If they honored white people, they KNEW they would have had trouble.
Anybody send this to Glenn Beck? Maybe he reads FR.
I checked every thing negative and told them before this I would have done the opposite. That site really frosted me and I asked them why no site for whites, hispanics, or Asians. The longer I typed the madder I got.
Hope everyone gives them negataive feedback for pulling this stunt to suck up to ZERO!
Racism is racism. They took sides, so I’m out of their game. I will now end my business relationship with a franchise; the money is not worth it and I have a lot of customers to make up the slack.
I’m putting this website in my next newsletter as well. Maybe bumper stickers as well....my car has been keyed several times already. I love pisn them off.
I gave up McDonalds when all their ads were rap or hip-hop.
I miss the days when McDonald’s fries were cooked in lard.
And you can be waited on by nasty looking lesbians with bad attitudes and metal stuck in their noses and eyebrows in Moriarty NM. No more McDonald’s for me. I don’t care what their lifestyles are but when they look like junkies and give me attitude when I have been nothing but polite and cheerful that’s it.
>> Racism is racism. They took sides, so I’m out of their game
Indeed racism is racism, but I wouldn’t go so far to give McRacist’s the cover of taking sides. McRacist’s may wish to segregate the beneficiaries of the 365Black campaign, but that doesn’t mean we need to consider those folks on the ‘other side’.
Let us know how it goes. I found the site totally disgusting.
Burgers and fries at home for me - quick, easy and healthy - fries done in coconut oil!
I've been boycotting McNasties since I found out what they do there. Years ago, one of our neighbors worked at McNasty. She dropped a hamburger patty on the floor. The manager told her to "Pick it up and use it anyway".
FWIW, I mute or turn off my radio when that "Good morning and welcome to McNasties. Here is your breakfast and here is your change" commercial comes on.
I am African-American and I find that ad BEYOND offensive. If my child’s only hope at employment is flippin burgers, I’ll disown him. They make it seem that the future of our youth depends on low wage b/s jobs for high school students. I am amazed that Disney doesn’t sue over intellectual infringement. What is next on their menu? Fried chicken sandwiches and watermelon flavored McFlurries?

What, you don’t like being patronized? Howard Dean simply will not get that POV. Why not?
/sarcasm off/
One of the many evil legacies of the FDR era is the divide-and-conquer race-baiting political machine. It is wrong. Worse, the evil SOB in the WH wants to exacerbate those evil political games.
