“As part of its effort to drive Black franchisees from its system, McDonald’s has targeted Washington and has pressured him to sell one store after another to white franchisees,”


Did he make money on the sales of the franchises. If so then what's the problem? McDonald's is a business not a social program.

In franchise businesses, you have marks that you must make for the business to be considered healthy and viable. A bad month or quarter is allowed, but you can’t keep under performing what the corporation expects and keep your job.

He was probably not meeting expectations.

If you have a conflict with MCD, you make outrageous claims of racism - its what MCD fears more than anything.

That’s another reason why I dislike slop joints like McWhopper. Most are owned or the franchisees are people like this guy, wealthy foreign nationals, wealthy Muslim$ etc.

This guy was on the New York Federal Reserve Board. I’ve been to one of his McDonalds, and can’t recommend it to anyone...even for a Mcdonald’s. It was dirty and served cold food.

I have been to Mr. Washington’s McDonalds stores. They are the filthiest franchise stores I have ever seen. It is a shame since he had a chance to set an example.
WKBN 27 Youngstown OH Facebook page has a posting on him. If you do access Facebook, check out the comments...almost all support my claim
