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.”

What is the problem? Is it the white bread?
Has this guy paid his taxes yet?
Al must need some cash for his organization or baby-mommas.
So where better to extort some money?
The fake reverend Al not so Sharpton at his con artistry again.
If not, seize his assets!
A Justice Brothers shakedown of Micky Ds.
They deserve each other.
Apparently, a black board member retired, and McDonalds isn't advertising on enough of Byron Allen's TV stations.

Ignore that noisome %*<<e@! He has nothing constructive to offer ANYONE!
The white buns and the dark complected hamburgers. All of that reminds the Giant Head of what his ancestors did before they were lucky enough to become slaves in America.
Sharpey is nearly as big a FRAUD as Joe Biden..
I’d suspect human flesh in a big mac, before suspecting racism.
Crown Heights riot, Freddy’s Fashion Mart attack, supporter of Tawana Bradley’s rape allegations….outstanding and remarkable achievements.
This racist jackass has absolutely no standing to criticize any U. S. company when he, himself, owes a shiteload in back taxes.
Sharpton can go ESAD....
Perhaps McDonald's should close all its stores in "black" neighborhoods.
Then Fat Albert and his merry band of feral negroes could bitch and whine about "food deserts".
Chicken Nuggets is People!
Nothing several mil to his “non-profit” won’t fix.
McDonald’s is a woke company. The payout will come shortly, if the first installment hasn’t already been sent. How many times has Jesse and Al shaken down McDonald’s? A lot.
