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 left some feedback for McD's on the site, and I'm afraid I'll no longer be a customer.
Where’s 247White.com?
I think they’ll catch enough heat about this to soften it down to 365Diversity or some such thing. To put up a black thang as being special is as socially disastrous as to do the same with whites. And I don’t doubt that they mean well, but it is a trap.
Quit eating there a while back except in very extenuating circumstances: Even generic Pepto costs money.
Yeah, like where is there room to be simply human? To have to be “black all the time” must get pretty old.
The McDonald’s corporate geeks had made absurdity and race pimping into a science.
I’m sure it does “get old.” I’m glad I missed out.
Funny, last time I was at a Mickey Dees, the little Ronald McDonald charity box showed black kids and no whites!
At McDonald's®, we believe that European-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year not just during some White History Month. That's the idea behind 365White.com. It's a place where white Americans 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 Norway spruce, which provides its community 365 days a year with its beauty and shade, McDonald's has branched out specifically to the White American community, nourishing it with valuable special programs and opportunities.
And the new talking point is that patriots are racists. The ‘new way’ of government is black you see, if you want to keep the “old way” then that means that you are a racist. Out with the constitution and in with the thugs.
Many people of color(case in point), half jokingly quip
that the reason February was slated as Black History
Month is because it IS the shortest of months.

Nope, I think there will be little backlash. WE do not scare them. Corporations are easily swayed by leftists because they are organized
Even if they DO mean well, to single out an ethnic group for special assistance doesn’t promote equality at all; however, it DOES mean that McDonald’s believes that blacks can only get ahead with special assistance... which defeats the entire entire idea of fostering equality as well.
McDonalds® has really stepped up to the plate with 365Black.
Kevin M., Radio Personality and Former McDonalds Employee, Washington, D.C.
A radio personality with a first name and only an initial? Wassup wit' 'dat?
Me too. Now, I’ll never eat there again.
They have swallowed the Kool-Aid. I remember personally what that kind of fuzzy think was like. Whites presuming to be kind and generous to blacks, while really painting them into caricatures. I would give the boot in a Chicago second to anyone who proposed the idea of “always white” to me, a Caucasian.
Yup...especially the criminal part where you have to commit almost 50% of the crime in the US. That's dangerous work.
The right is pretty damn organized at the true grassroots level. As far as this affecting McDonald’s, I just emailed this to Drudge, Rush, and Hannity, so we’ll see.
Next time my kid asks to go there I will tell him we don't patronize racists.
LOL! LOL! LOL!
McDonalds needs to learn when enough is enough. I’m not mad at them for this, like I was for their flirtation with the gays. I pity them.
Their breakfast menu is pretty good.
McDonald’s has killed more black men than the Klan and the Crips combined.
You're exactly right. We see that with the recent Glenn Beck situation.
I'm embarrassed that more of us haven't come to his aid.
Our organizations don’t have nearly the numbers theirs does nor the funds. Theirs comes from government grants and dues and Soros.
Like the unique African Baobab tree, which nourishes its community with its leaves and fruit, McDonald’s nourishes its community with its greasy cardboard burgers and fries.
You are just a bunch of Whining Honkies. Black is in - White is out.
Reality has nothing to do with anything. Feel good political correctness is everything.
Shallow minds rule - Just look what happens in DC, NY & Calif.
Empty brains control (actually - are being controlled).
With all these gestures to the black community (I wonder if they’re being blackmailed, no pun intended) why haven’t they ever done a black Ronald McDonald? Surely clowns come in more than one color?
I was looking at the books at Walmart the other day and noticed they have various sections, like self help, Vampire stories (big right now), religious/spiritual, then the fiction is all done with authors in alphabetical order....then you get to the end and it is all black. Black authors, black people shown on the covers.... as if they couldn’t be mingled in alphabetically with the other authors..... a separate section, like they are segregated or something. Is Walmart racist or purposely merchandising so blacks won’t be lured by white writers....?
Are you fishing for the OJoker poster?
Sausage egg and cheese McMuffin is 452 calories and 29.4g of fat.
Most people should take in between 1400 and 1900 calories total a day to maintain weight.
Do the math, no wonder so many people are obese.
The smallest thing on their menu, the small breakfast burrito is 300 calories with 17 grams fat.
Eat a hard boiled egg at home instead, throw out the yellow part, and your talking 30 calories.

Those are cute little girls....
Diet specialists generally encourage eating most of your daily calories in the first half of the day.
Yeah, they’re really kicking our asses in the healthcare debate. Just like amnesty.
Funding and organizations matter little when the electorate gets involved and energized. The conservative and “independent” electorates are involved at the neighborhood and community levels... and they are cleaning the clocks of the democrats, who are bussing people in to rallies and sending out calls to action through the DNC itself.
Of COURSE they’re racist!!!!!!!!!!! Their coffee is always black!!! I’ve never seen it all white!!!!!!
Thanks! I don’t like the yellow yolk in hard boiled eggs so it is nice to know I am saving calories by eating only the white!
Not too long ago I saw a Ms. Ronald McDonald in a French promotion.
Eat a hard boiled egg at home instead, throw out the yellow part, and your talking 30 calories.
or you can order a big mac, throw out the bun, burger, cheese and special sauce and only eat the lettuce, onion, pickle and tomato and you’re talking 30 calories.
Add the mashed hard boiled yolks to cookie dough.

Walmart buying into the condescension-upon-blacks Kool-Aid.
Thanks! Great idea!
This is also fun http://www.myinspirasian.com/

This is discrimination based solely on race.
Pure and simple.
Can you imagine the overwhelming negative media attention any company would get with a “365white.com” website?
Those little cuties in the bottom photo are adorable.
I know. I’m so evil. :)
The Obama Thought Police will find you,my friend. And when they do... muhuhuhuwhawhahaaaaa!
