How could they be working g with the NAACP?
Getting his job back at McDonald’s probably changes nothing for him in the long run. McDonald’s will never view him the same.
This seems like it could have been handled in a less public way by both the host and station and McDonalds for that matter. The host should have asked for a private meeting with the McDonalds rep. If McDonalds had evidence that the manager deserved to be fired for other reasons, they should have presented it and the host should have accepted it. If they did not, they should have showed some mercy and hired him back (at least to avoid the bad publicity).
As some here, and over at the Blaze have said, there may be more to this than meets the eye.
But still (and of course aside from the tragedy of the poor man’s son dying) this is maybe, kind of, a good thing.
I’m amazed to see the NAACP stand up for a black conservative, that is for sure.
Family emergency, does that imply he was married to the mother? Is that detail relevant?
The radio business is barely limping along. You can’t have your employees battling your customers.
But on the other hand it’s good the Tea Party is supporting him. Sometimes it’s more important to be loyal to your friends than it is to be right.
Read the story.
That’s rich.
Who in their right mind eats McDonald’s cardboard food? Get this good man a job in a real restaurant.
an a side: I haven't listened to WVON in a gazillion years. My buddy Johnny turned me onto it in '63 and I found... MOTOWN... and the wonderful music of: The Temps, Four tops, Smokey, etc, etc. We were prolly the only two white kids on the SW side of Chicago who listened to WVON ;-)
(1) WVON stands for, Voice Of the Negro (the 'W' is req'd for all Radio and TV stations east of the Mississippi.) WVON got pretty Radical during the Black Panther Days, and continued that way afterwards.
