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

“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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
