Boycott McDonalds 365 Black

Throwing out any pretense of being neutral in the culture war, McDonald's has taken up the rhetoric of black activists, suggesting those who oppose African-Americans are motivated by hate.

AFA has asked for a boycott of McDonald's restaurants because of the company’s promotion of the black agenda. AFA asked McDonald’s to remain neutral in the culture war. McDonald’s refused.

In response to the boycott, McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman suggested to the Washington Post that those who oppose African-Americans are motivated by hate, saying "...hatred has no place in our culture." McDonald's has decided to adopt the "hate" theme used by black activist groups for years.

Whitman went on to say, "We stand by and support our people to live and work in a society free of discrimination and harassment." Mr. Whitman has intentionally avoided addressing the reason for the boycott. This boycott is not about hiring blacks or how black employees are treated. It is about McDonald's choosing to put the full weight of their corporation behind promoting their agenda.

McDonald's CEO Jim Skinner said the company will promote issues they approve. "Being a socially responsible organization is a fundamental part of who we are. We have an obligation to use our size and resources to make a difference in the world...and we do."
