365Black (McDonald's website wants us to celebrate black culture 365 days a year- don't you?)

365Black ^

[blueglass]

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. 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

[blueglass]

"The Baobab tree nourishes its community..." ha ha the tree has a community. More communist nonsense- right up there with the illegals marching on May Day every year. Well, with Obama, Van Jones, Rev. Wright and others, I don't know about you but I think I've had my fill of black culture thank you. I'm liking Carl's Jr. more each day. Don't forget to leave feedback for McDonald's exciting new website! I know I will!

This is clearly a smackdown of Obama who, at most, is only 182.5Black.

[blueglass]

"Obama who, at most, is only 182.5Black"

Still, that's a lot of black.

[Eaker]

None of these people have the time to waste being Americans.

[Stentor]

Bump.

[sten]

If McDs is going to be racist and push one race over all others... Tgen I would call for all non-blacks to boycott McDs until they stop this practice, acknowledge it for the racist effort that it is... And apologize to the people of America

see how they enjoy serving to only 12% of the market

(besides it’s crap food anyhow)

[Eaker]

Here is another example of the culture we are supposed to celebrate.

[dr_lew]

I CELEBRATE myself;
And what I assume you shall assume;
For every atom belonging to me, as good belongs to you.

[bornred]

For better or for worse, MCD knows their target demographic. And the competition is fierce.

[calex59]

I left my feedback, thanks for the link.

[bzybee]

Well I guess its a good time to start a diet goodbye McDonalds, afterall they do not need any money from poor little ole white me

[American Silver Eagle]

Many large businesses support La Raza which is a far bigger outrage than this latest Mickey D enterprise.

[BigCinBigD]

Maybe they will come out with the...Thug Burger. A 220 pound beef patty with a file in it.

Here is a copy of the comment I made:

"Thanks for this fine website. I am inspired. I will celebrate Black365 by showing up 15 minutes late to work each day for the next year."

[OneHun]

Feedback: "Thanks, but I don't eat race celebration.  I will go to Carl's Jr. or others who are in a 'color blind' hospitality/culinary business."

>"At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year "

How "racist" of them to even celebrate the -American part of culture.

We should all be like Zimbabwe, everybody there is a trillionaire!

[wardaddy]

well we do get the fried chicken pieces whenever we can

[RoshYisrael]

This is typical of the black culture. No thanks I do not want to celebrate.

[CholeraJoe]

In other news, Popeye’s Fried Chicken has filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement. Said company spokesperson, Clothilde Boudreaux, “Popeye’s Fried Chicken has been 365-Black since our first restaurant opened. This egregious infringement cannot go unchallenged.”

[VOA]

“365Black (McDonald’s website wants us to celebrate black culture
365 days a year- don’t you?)”

How about simply celebrating American Culture?

Then you can include ALL of the folks that made McDonalds an American
and INTERNATIONAL phenomenon.

Oops, that might just be too INCLUSIVE for most of the
liberals/Democrats/Socialists.

[American Constitutionalist]

I am going to celebrate my “ Whiteness “ 360 days a year...

That sounds like something a bunch of buzzed college sophomores would have come up with as a parody of politically correct pandering. Such self-congratulatory faux profundity should have been laughed out of the board room within seconds, but when racism becomes part of the institution, critical thinking goes out the window.

[AppyPappy]

More like 365Pander

[CTOCS]

It’s not their customer base they are pandering to, it’s their “employee” base...

Immersing yourself totally in today’s “black culture” all but guarantees this is one of the only jobs you will qualify for.

[A knight without armor]

Well I stand before you all and admit I love the McRib!

[InvisibleChurch]

there’s always Leap year

[dalereed]

I quit eating their crap when they were 13 cents each or #1/doz!

[NordP]

I love FReepers!!! THAT was funny.

[NordP]

I AM SO SICK OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA TELLING US THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITES...I DON'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN WHAT THEY KEEP CRAMIN' DOWN MY THROAT....

NEWS FLASH: WE ARE THE SAME!

[Professional Engineer]

Left my feedback.

[bert]

If we were the same, Africa would be modern and prosperous.

[P.O.E.]

Some leftists are more equal than others.

[NordP]

I was talking about in America, we are all the same. I cited organizations, TV programs and ethnic references (-'s) that are taking place in America.

Beyond our shores, free will kicks in. Still...that has nothing to do with humans BEing different, only ACTING differently in different situations.

[Toespi]

[Eaker]

You would be appalled if black on white crime was covered by the media as extensively as white on black crime. Or even black on black crime for that matter.

Appalled.

[smedley64]

It’s just a cheap marketing ploy to spur interest in their new “Black Angus” burgers...

[curth]

I stopped eating there when they didn’t remove their ads from Letterman.

[RoshYisrael]

No, I live near Birmingham, AL and know of the deviant behavior of the Aborigines there. There is some sites on the net that you can go to and see tons of cases where their tribal instincts are arrayed. It is sad that the criminal behavior of 99% give the other 1% a bad name.

[snippy_about_it]

Watch a video at the site, member of “Black” McDonald’s owners spoke, well I’d like to know if there is a White McDonalds owners club?

Hey Micky Dees, you just lost my bidness!

signed,
Whitey

[FR_addict]

At first this made me want to boycott McDonalds. It is not in the spirit of being an American.

But, I went to their main site and see the 365Black campaign is aimed at blacks, not too much different than advertising about the power of women at a woman's site.

I think this deserves writing to McDonalds and asking them to celebrate being American in all their ads, not kowtowing to one culture over another. Will they next have Muslim ads praising their religion, gay ads praising the homosexual lifestyle, Christian ads (oh wait, that's not allowed), atheist ads,etc?
