People offended by this can’t be truly happy, successful people. You have to be mentally ill if you get unhinged because someone uttered a derogatory word that was spoken by someone else.

It’s a word you use all the time. (not you, 2DV!)

No one cares at all.

Yep, faux outrage can pay off these days... in power and/or in money.

The enemies of the U.S. would like to harm us by fomenting racial hatred. Blacks who buy into this crap are in league with those enemies, whether as dupes or active agents.

I am sick unto death of this race-hustling hatred from blacks. Either stand by us as our countrymen, or GTFO.

How is that odd?

Lesse here - Papa John uses a word in a quote by someone else and he’s branded the racist by a hyperbolic, mudslinging article and before the blacks can get offended, the corporation forces him to step down from the board then kicks him out of office and then unpersons him.

Yes - I called and have and will boycott papa johns restaurants until he’s restored to the board and CEO.

But those idjets call for a boycott anyway:.. why? The Corp has bent over backward to assuage their white guilt and show they hateses people that use the bad word.

Perhaps it’s because they want to take credit for the boycott that is occurring because of the injustice upon Papa John and the tide is turning?

Even Jason Whitlock came out in support of Papa John and said the word was quoted properly.

He added that black children had approached him to ask about Schnatter's language, asking, "What did he mean by using the N-word?"

I call B S on that statement.

I don’t see the point, OTHER than a shakedown.

They’ve already fired “Papa” John, and ruined his life...so payback is pretty much complete.

These people continually scan the horizon, looking for anything they can turn into “racism”.

Actually, there’s no “wounds” for blacks today, unless they visit Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, etc.

I’m sure that boycott of PaPa John’s will work bout as well as the boycott of Chick-fil-A.

They got the founder to resign. Like hyenas who smell blood they now want more.

Appeasing is another word for emboldening.

Getting offended for the sake of getting offended, for fun and profit. It’s like emotional meth. They get a temporary feeling of moral superiority, a short term sense of empowerment, but once that “high” wears off the need for more “fixes” becomes progressively more insatiable. What a pathetic self destructive way to go through life.

Booker T. Washington had it all figured out.

People who have no skills of any value and who are too lazy to put their minds or hands to work doing anything useful will often figure out that it's easiest to pursue a lucrative career as a professional malcontent.

They are not offended; they are feigning offense so a large corporation gives money to “black” groups - which is then doled out among the leaders of the rent-a-mob. The company will probably have to hire a 6-figure “diversity coordinator” - and whites need not apply. This is wealth re-distribution for actors with no role in a modern economy, nothing more.
