Yes,the left is killing off MacDonald’s, but not for the reasons that the article suggests. For the last ten years or so, the McDonald’s advertising campaign in the United States has had an urban theme that seems directed at 12% of population. Take for example, the “I’m lov’in it” ad campaign. WTF does that mean? The word is “loving” not “lov’in” and “it” is undefined. Compare that ad compaign with the highly popular and successful “Have it you’re way,” “You deserve a break today,” and the “Two all beef paddies” ad campaigns of yesteryear’s. Three decades later, I can still sing the jingles and remember the product.

The second problem is in the quest for diversity, McDonald’s has assembled a work force that can’t speak basic, grammatically correct English. I should not have to repeatedly ask, “what did you say” or state “I don’t undersstand you” when ordering something as simple as a quarter pounder with cheese, small fries, and a small Diet Coke.

I used to eat almost daily at a hot dog place run by a bunch of Greeks. Some of them could not speak English but they understood “two all the way” perfectly.

They were really good hot dogs too.

McD's has a program called 365Black. It seeks out black people as customers at the expense of others. So on paper yes, yay for black people.

Problem is, when I go into a place and I am the only white person, and other customers are giving me the "I Will Kick You To Death" stink eye and the employees are just a tiny bit less hostile, I am obligated to ask: Is it a surprise that somebody spit in my burger?

It's sad that I must point out to my wife all the different places that are not safe for her to go alone nowadays due to racial hostility. McD's is one of those places.
