Chick-fil-A scrambled to explain itself after a reply to a customer with the phrase “your community” sparked allegations of racism.
The social media backlash began last Friday after one user tweeted the message “grilled spicy deluxe but still noooo spicy nuggets” to the fast-food giant’s official account.

And every school cafeteria has Fried Chicken, Grits, Black Eyed Peas, even . . wait for it . . . Watermelon for Black History month.
And Corn Beeef and Cabbage for St Patricks day
and Chocolate bunnies for Easter
. . .
Even Hillary tells every black interviewer that she has hot sauce in her purse.
take a break from your outrage folks.
It must be exhausting constantly scanning the media for something to take offense to.
woke is a weapon
they bash anyone they dont like
does not matter what was actually said
Communists are easily offended by capitalism.
i use that word non-niggardly to emphasize that words are just words.
Oh, no! The words "your community," "you folks," "you" in a remotely plural-sounding sense...are highly flammable and have been so for a VERY long time.
As long some humans are looking for a reason to be offended, any opportunity will suffice. And as long as there's some perceived reward in being offended (in this case, maybe some free chicken sandwiches or, perhaps, just a good excuse to riot), offense will be taken.
Just a tiny misstep and this Chick-fil-A will find itself reduced to a pile of smouldering ashes.
it’s not that hard...
“Your community will be the first to know if spicy items are added to the permanent menu, Don!” Chick-fil-A’s account responded.
Don’t cry for Chik-fil-A. The one-time conservative company is living off past glory. It has gone woke.
Nobody associated with the company has talked about Christianity or traditional marriage in recent years. A former Obama official was brought in to oversee the charity operation of Chik-fil-A and the cowardly company stopped giving to the “bigoted” Fellowship for Christian Athletes and Salvation Army.
For the next 8 months I have to go to another community to get my Chic Fil-A fix. Ours was torn down for remodeling.
Chick-fil-A is the only fast food I find palatable. Forced by hunger to try it in some airport on the way to Houston. Not bad at all.
HOWEVER, I’m deeply offended that one is opening a block away. The traffic will be a nightmare.
I should sue them too.
"Community" can be a geographical thing or a societal thing. In the past, when good manners were much more common, the proper response would have been,
"My community? Could you expand or elucidate on that use of the word? Thanks so much."
Now? Automatic offense and cries of
Blacks, and others, are always screaming about “my community” so now “your community” is “racist” somehow. Bunch of crybaby morons.
Apparently “community” is now synonymous with “race”. I can’t blame Chik-fil-A, I wasn’t aware either.
lol
how would they even know the person they were typing to on the internet was black?
LMAO
woke garbage.
Please, no apologies or “explanations.” Don’t touch it and it will blow awway with an increase of business. Apologize and watch the beginning of the end of the chicken empire.
And why do they assume Chick-fil-A's response was written by a melanin-deficient person?
there are folks here on FR that “buy into that crap”
