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.

Yet we are told there is "systemic" racism or oppression.
No need to amplify. They’re loud enough.
Give normal people the mic for a change.
They will never STFU, never.
My eyes read: Amplifying Black Votes.
i am so glad i stopped earing at mcdonalds several decades ago.
Black Lies Matter and this another example why.
“McDonald’s, giving Blacks diabetes and heart attacks since the 50’s!”
And they still won’t realize they’re being pandered to.
Entertainers?!
Music?!
Ditto...
I cut them off back in 1994. I will admit I have gone there 3 times since 1994, and 2 of the 3 were bad experiences.
They need to concentrate on their real customers. . .they have had a limited menu for months. . . I can’t believe the line of cars sometimes. I don’t stop with more than 3 cars. . . .but oh, well, I order the same thing every time. . . 2 $1 sausage biscuits for my dogs and 1 senior coffee for me. The buns get thrown out the window for the birds and any other wandering beast once I get on the highway.
Does that lingo mean more spit in white people’s food?
I won’t miss McDonald’s food one bit.
The black trans women that are killed are usually prostitutes
McDonalds is dead to me
“The brands Twitter banner reads: Trayvon Martin. Michael Brown...”
Oh, the two who were justifiably shot, according to extensive inquiries/trials? Don’t the facts get in the way of your virtue signaling, panderers.
McDonald's goes all cursive...
i thought that they already have that. It’s called Autotune.
Nah...not taking my chances at Mickey D’s anymore.
If I want spit on my burger, I’ll do my own spitting on homemade burgers, thank you very much.
