Left-wing activist and President of the National Action Network, Al Sharpton, has accused McDonald’s of failing to properly address accusations of racial discrimination by the company.
In a Thursday letter sent to McDonald’s Corporation, Sharpton demanded that the company rectify “longstanding” issues regarding their allegedly discriminatory practices.
Otherwise, Sharpton warned that he and his group would “mobilize to demand action against the fast-food giant.”
“We find it appalling and inexcusable that McDonald’s Corporation has not satisfied its differences with the Black community,” Sharpton said in the letter, before noting the number of legal woes already facing the fast food titan.
“There are lawsuits brought by Black franchises. Another brought by a Black former executive over racial discrimination from the highest levels.”
Sharpton doubled down on his claims of McDonald’s being racist, accusing the the fast food chain of only offering a “little justice” with its signature Big Macs — and little else.
“You cannot sell Black folks Big Macs and give us little justice,” he wrote.
“And let’s not forget the $10 billion lawsuit brought by Byron Allen over the fact that Black-owned media did not get its fair share of McDonald’s supersized advertising budgets,” he said, referring to a lawsuit filed last year by Allen, who accused McDonald’s of excluding black-owned businesses from advertising with the company.
Allen, of Allen Media Group, argued at the time that McDonald’s was guilty of “overt and systemic racism” because they refused to advertise on his subsidiaries, which include The Weather Channel and Comedy TV.
“This is about economic inclusion of African American-owned businesses in the U.S. economy,” Allen said at the time. “McDonald’s takes billions from African American consumers and gives almost nothing back.”

the milk shakes?!
okay OKAY... i’ll order chocolate if it means that much to ya!
I think it is a ruse. I think MacDonalds hired the race hustler to attack them so the blowback will actually increase their lagging sales.
“McDonald’s takes billions from African American consumers and gives almost nothing back.”
They pay for a burger, fries and a coke, and they get a burger, fries and a coke. What?
I think he wants fries.
70% of black babies are born without a father to raise them. Crime in inner cities among black kids is through the roof.
...and today’s black ‘leaders’ are instead shaking down McDonalds over something about racists big macs.
If you took every white supremacist, klansman, skinhead, nazi, and combined them all...they still couldn’t come close to matching the damage that Sharpton and Jackson have done to Black America.
Wow. Never heard most of that.
When Sharpton looks grim and demands “Hand over the bread” from the McDonald front office person I doubt he’ll want the edible kind.
Don’t forget LBJ!
Ah yes, the good-old “Sharpton Shakedown.”
There is no bigger racist than this guy.
He’s always been about the Benjamins

WTH?
Al needs cash flow.
Do blacks ever pay for their food at McDonald’s? If they do, do they then smash the place up because it’s not good enough? If blacks don’t like McDonald’s, then they should eat at exclusively black restaurants.
