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.

We have a country that celebrates black athletes in sports, we celebrate entertainers in music, movies and TVs, we celebrate black politicians, we had a black President that was elected twice, we have affirmative action, discrimination laws, we have a MLK holiday and even a month dedicated to blacks.

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.

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.

“The brand’s 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.

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.
