Fox Nation’s Racist Attack On McDonalds “Black” Web Site
Filed under: General — Mark @ 2:50 pm


In response to an announcement from McDonald’s that they are launching a new web site to serve the African American community, Fox Nation members donned their white sheets and expressed how they truly feel. The spark that fueled this barrage of hate was 365Black.com, a site about which McDonalds says:

At McDonald’s, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That’s the idea behind 365Black.com. It’s a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald’s.


That is the outrageous affront to morality that produced these comments at Fox Nation:

Navy(Retired): What do you expect, that’s all that works there

Annabell: Most of the time..they can’t even count the change. It’s sad too.

Lone Star: Next thing you know Ronald will have a doooo rag on and a large watch around his neck on a big gold blingy chain

Out of the Blue: can you get waffles and a 40 oz with a chicken sandwich now?
You can get a nappy meal to.

Paul: Maybe McDonalds could next open an illegal Mexican branch so they would all feel at home since they act like it’s theirs anyway.

noblinkster: Hey, maybe they will have watermelon on their summer menu!!

Mike S: Crack pipes in Happy meals for the black kids

Kenyan Chronicles: Check out their CEO–(black)—– He gave $30,000 to odumbo’s election —-How much of that came from YOUR wallet?………Enjoy those big-macs!

Captain Obvious: They want separation? Then let them TRY to survive without the “evil” white man!

Nicotinegun: Let McDonalds do what they want. If they want to pander let the ones they pander to pay them for food. Don’t go their. Personally, I would like to see a national boycott on any place that has Spanish on their walls, telephones, products, etc. That would be great.

JPT: Since over 40% of blacks are obese, Micky D’s is trying to capitalize .

teddy69: yeah, and the other 60% are flat worthless!

teddy69: i’m sure our founding fathers never intended our country to get this messed up! you remember the movie “Planet of The Apes”???

FoxNewsAddict: I will be boycotting McD’s until it puts up a WHITE360 website!!!!

SandraR: This is the most racist contrivance I have ever seen in my life. This stupidity needs litigation RASISUM extraordinaire.

kcchiefsfan: I am so pissed off!!! I left them my feedback and ask them when were we going to have a “White McDonalds” website for us white folks too! OMG and leave it to McDonalds!!! I’ve seen everything now! Isn’t that what Popeyes Chicken is for???


Talk about showing your true colors. At least we know where they stand.

Addendum: It just occurred to me that McDonalds is a significant advertiser on Fox News as well as other Murdoch properties. For example: Fox, McDonald’s ink blockbuster deal. Does McDonalds know about the hate speech that their business partner is engaging in against them?

Color of Change, are you listening?

I guess he's taking 5 days off from his heritage or something. :eyes:

4. Blame it on the Brits.
They became tired of the rif-raff long ago and deported them to the New World. Now we have to pay the price.

My racist comment for the day. :rofl:

9. correlation and causation question
Does racism cause people to be unable to use the words "there" "their" or "they're" correctly? Or is there something about the inability to use those words correctly that causes racism? Or is there some third variable, like maybe "BEING A FREAKING IDIOT" that causes both?

14. Does anybody else here think that McDonald's ...
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 09:53 AM by surrealAmerican
... having a website to "celebrate African-American culture and achievement" and "meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald’s" is unsettlingly racist to begin with?
This reeks of exploiting their culture to further McDonald's finances.

The fox reaction is, expectedly, nauseatingly racist in a much more obvious way.

15. Maybe not racist, but definitely cynical
My guess is Mikky D couldn't care less about race one way or another, just so long as they keep raking in the cash. :eyes:

16. I've noticed over the years that non-white customers in fast food commercials tend to
be stereotypes and caricatures, to a more pronounced degree than other groups (except perhaps for dads in a cleaning product ad). McDonald's doesn't seem to be the worst offender, but this website is pretty obviously a marketing ploy. Who knows, though, it could be educational...

18. Keep track of their profit for the Quarter.
Their profits have been increasing lately.

Perhaps they should carry pork rinds to keep the morans happy.

19. You are right. Another thing I've noticed
with McDonald's and Burger King is that the black people in their fast food commercials are always going out of their way to steal the food from each other. It's always done in a "humorous" way, but the thieving angle is very prevalent. I pointed this out to my wife and she's creeped out by it too. Watch for it. They rarely have the white people steal each other's Big Mac or whatever. Weird.

20. That's what I've thought ever since these "I'm lovin' it" commercials started coming out
I'm white, so maybe I have no say in the matter, but I've always found them to be disturbing and WEIRD.
