Wendy’s has announced it will be donating $500,000 to show its commitment to supporting the black community, one day after it received substantial backlash on social media over reports that James Bodenstedt, the CEO of a company that franchises hundreds of Wendy’s, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell locations, had donated more than $440,000 to President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign.

The initial reports led to a trend on social media of users attempting to “cancel” Wendy’s.

I have no problem with that, as long as it doesn’t go to a militant organization.

So no free political speech for Trump supporters?

What a shocker.

The problem is not that black folks have not been given enough. To grow and prosper you have to produce value and make a contribution. Give and it shall be given to you. Continually demand that you be given more and you will never have enough. NEVER.
Dependence is not the answer.

It’s not enough. Once you bend the knee to the left you will never be allowed to stand again.

You can bet that was in response to some direct communications from black “leaders” letting Wendy’s corporate office know that a nice donation will stop them from making an example of them. The fine art of the Shakedown continues.

Wendy’s and Taco Bell have among the worst reputations for hiring the lowest, dirtiest, dumbest workers they can find. I avoid them unless they are in areas not served by mass transit. That way, the employees have to at least own a car to get to work.

But after this, I’ll just avoid them all.

Are they saying that donating to POTUS Trump’s Reelection Campaign is the same as Donating to the KKK?

Sounds like it to me.

Thanks for the future OD deaths, Wendy’s!! Good job. BTW, there is no good way to distribute this money. Is there a GOOD black group left, one which has not been poisoned by leftists?
