McDonald’s Changes Social Media Profile Name to ‘Amplifying Black Voices’
2020-07-01
[BREITBART] McDonald’s has changed its Twitter display name to "Amplifying Black Voices," adding a profile banner that lists Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd as victims of "racism" and "systemic oppression."

The brand’s Twitter banner reads:

Trayvon Martin. Michael Brown. Alton Sterling. Botham Jean. Atatiana Jefferson. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd.

He was one of us. She was one of us. They were all one of us. We seem them in our customers. We see them in our crew members. We see them in our franchisees. And this is why the entire McDonald’s family grieves. It’s why we stand for them and any other victims of systemic oppression and violence. Today with stand with Black communities across America. Which is why we’re donating to the National Urban League and the NAACP. We do not tolerate inequity, injustice, or racism.

"Black trans women have a very simple message: stop killing us," the international corporation relayed in a video created by Imara Jones, a fellow of George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...

#16  so they'll be adding fried chicken and water melon to the menu?

You'll notice the Gatorade commercial 'fueled by electrolytes from watermelon' is gone.

#15  Given the prevalence of diabetes and heart disease in the black community, the most significant thing McDonald's could do to show it cares about black lives would be to utterly change their menu or stop serving black people.

#10  So, what I'm getting here is that the bosses of corporate America have decided that they would rather just close the shop and cash in their retirement.

Change my mind.

#9  I think what we have going on here is like 3rd generation board member families, with 1-star gneral second generation wealth leadership with paleo-melinnial focus group guided PR departments.

And it is lazy. Morally, intellectually, creatively lazy people whose challenge is to make it to team meetings after a night of cocktails, to see who breaks for cocktails first.

Its a world they can't imagine without their product, who don't use their product, and cannot come up with anything clever within their brand.

Who seriously has a 30 minute lunch break and is like, "Hey, you know who would make my lunch fun? Some ugly pissed off Black dude who cut his dick off and needs to tell me how great he should be."

You serious?

Straight scotch and bone lazy.

#8  Amplifying? Any guesses what that focus group was?

Way I understand it, the Black trans get killed by surprising their date. Care to guess what focus group that is?

#7  It’s why we stand for them and any other victims of systemic oppression and violence.
Look at the stereotypical Adult White Male in ads and media these days then talk to me again about systemic oppression.

#6  Too much virtue signalling out there by corporations... can't boycott them all, as much as we would like to.
