McDonald’s Changes Social Media Profile Name to ‘Amplifying Black Voices’
Breitbart ^ | 06/29/20 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

McDonald’s has changed its Twitter display name to “Amplifying Black Voices,” adding a profile banner that lists Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd as victims of “racism” and “systemic oppression.”

The brand’s Twitter banner reads:

Trayvon Martin. Michael Brown. Alton Sterling. Botham Jean. Atatiana Jefferson. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd.

He was one of us. She was one of us. They were all one of us. We seem them in our customers. We see them in our crew members. We see them in our franchisees. And this is why the entire McDonald’s family grieves. It’s why we stand for them and any other victims of systemic oppression and violence. Today with stand with Black communities across America. Which is why we’re donating to the National Urban League and the NAACP. We do not tolerate inequity, injustice, or racism.

“Black trans women have a very simple message: stop killing us,” the international corporation relayed in a video created by Imara Jones, a fellow of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

“Black trans women have a very simple message: stop killing us”

McDonald’s shared a quote asking about the volume of “black storytelling” in video games.

“I encourage kids to protest like me and to use their voices to stop racism” -

McDonald’s aligned itself with NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s allegation that a “noose” had been placed in his garage.

McDonald’s also shared its political messaging via Instagram and Facebook — though it has not changed the display names on those accounts. It has not yet posted any BLM-related content on its Pinterest page.

Weeks ago, the company announced its intent to donate $1 million to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the National Urban League.

The black influence on culture is out of proportion to the percentage of their population. Mcds knows who their employees and customers are.

And I have never understood why anyone would ever “celebrate” these jesters, gangsters and morally bankrupt clowns. They are the Minstrel Show put on by Rich White Liberals.

Next time a Micky D’s commercial is on, close your eyes and listen to the background music. It has been rap type music for over 30 years.

They're wrong on at least 3 of those.

I’m not even touching McD’s anymore, although I haven’t eaten their stuff in ages, TBH.

Some people never learn. A few years ago when it went Wall to Wall Mickey Dee this and Mickey Dee that they almost killed themselves. Black teenager made their stores into gang clubhouses that intimidated real customers especially White people. Maybe this time they will succeed.

OK, so Micky D’s is no off my list too. And I’m NOT kidding. Thanks to capitalism, there are plenty of competitors. If all of them pull this crap, I’ll make the burgers myself.

Bending to that collection of barking ani indicates no backbone, no morals, and no self respect.

Eff all of them until the end of the thirtieth multiverse.

Fast food is dying anyway. No one wants to eat food prepared by drug addicted criminals.

And to think that killing nearly half your business is an awesome business model. /s

I make my own Big Macs.

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – on a sesame seed bun.

I use thousand island dressing, but may try this clone:

They’d do better to amplify the quality of their food. The only thing decent on their menu is the coffee.

And the Egg McMuffin, since they started using real butter again. But I can still make an Egg McMuffin at home that is 10x better.
