Al Sharpton puts McDonald’s ‘on notice’ over alleged racial discrimination​

The National Action Network, a non-profit civil rights activism group headed by Rev. Al Sharpton, has warned it will “mobilize” against McDonald’s unless the fast food company addresses accusations of racial discrimination.
Sharpton said he sent a letter to McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski on Thursday urging the company to acknowledge complaints of racism in its employment, advertising and franchising practices, though National Action Network did not publish a copy of the letter.

“We find it appalling and inexcusable that McDonald’s Corporation has not satisfied its differences with the black community. There are lawsuits brought by black franchises. Another brought by a black former executive over racial discrimination from the highest levels,” said Sharpton.
He added, “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.”

NAN specifically mentioned the removal of John Rogers from the McDonald’s Corporation Board of Directors as an “issue” that must be addressed.
“We are also outraged at the removal of John Rogers, a well-respected business leader for the black community, from the Board of Directors. We unequivocally demand they immediately acknowledge and address these issues, or we will begin a national campaign around McDonalds. You cannot sell black folks Big Macs and give us little justice.”

Rogers retired from the board of directors in March 2023 after 20 years with the company. He retired alongside fellow board member Robert Eckert, who joined at the board at the same time as Rogers in May 2003.
“These retirements are consistent with the Board’s commitment to ongoing refreshment that maintains an appropriate balance of continuity and institutional knowledge with fresh perspectives among Directors,” McDonald’s explained last month in a press release announcing Rogers and Eckert’s retirement.

“We are also outraged at the removal of John Rogers, a well-respected business leader for the black community, from the Board of Directors.

So if you're black you're not allowed to retire. Sounds like slavery.

 

[jward]

To be fair, Sharpton apparently hasn't retired; still out there strong arming the weak ones for his coin, apparently

 

[Old Greek]

Wonder if he ever paid his back taxes?

 

[Profit of Doom]

Aren’t the McChimpouts sufficiently diverse? Actually, there should be more whites for balance.

 

[psychgirl]

For a minute I had to think about this…I thought he was dead.

Guess not.

ETA--around here it seems that McDonalds is racist--there are nearly zero whites working at the McDonalds in this area

 

[SouthernBreeze]

I can't come up with a McD's within 60 miles of here that isn't all manned by blacks only. That covers a whole lot of McD's, too.

 

[jward]

This apparently has more to do with the suits- those who get the advertising accounts and such, and the accusation that they are not getting "their fair share" :: shrug ::

Think even he's stopped pretending to care about the avg joe flipping burgers or working for a living.

He needs to come here. In my part of South Carolina only blacks work at the fast food resturants.

Bless his heart, he keeps trying and failing miserably to back someone for a big ticket racism suit - and every one blows up in his face.

Same here in Mississippi.

Here too, and this town has very few black people here, mostly Hispanic, who usually work their butts off.

Which is why I go to Burger King if I need junk food. At least some of the employees are white and all are very respectful, unlike McD's

So were I Ronald (as in McDonald) I would say "Notice - shmotice. You got grounds for a lawsuit - then go for it big-boy!"

I mean in this leftist jurisprudence world, it shouldn't be that hard to find a judge/prosecuter/grand-jury who will open the court door and say "you fight it out in there before your peers."

At least part of the problem is the Sharptons of the world think they have an assured thing with every utterance. Perhaps they should get in line like everyone else - and Corporate America grow a set of 'nads?

Weanies of the world UNITE. Its only a company. You lose the case then close it down and start over.

LLC is short for "Limited Liability Company." And they were invented for a reason - just like this.

Yeah, that he hasn't run up on some corporation that would decide to "lawfare" him is a wonderment.....

 

[dstraito]

Another Sharpton shakedown

 

[dawgofwar10]

Quit reading the post as soon an ASS made comment about a black run McDonald’s, have you ever waited in line or drove thru the drive thru. Fugg that…..

Coming everywhere … de-platforming by Demonrats. Everyone they hate and everything by any way possible. By force if necessary ( Antifa, BLM).

[SageRock]

Don't care about Sharpton or McD's. Haven't been to a fast food restaurant in well over 7 years. Don't go to regular restaurants any more either -- got tired of it, don't trust the quality any more.

 

[Henry Bowman]

Did anybody get Tawanna Brawleys take on this ?

He is a miscreant, a Godless agitator- a real hater. "Reverend." Yeah, right.

Just as soon as they get done prosecuting the Biden mafia for their tax evasion.
