McDonalds marketing on television almost exclusively includes black folks

Not surprising

Alton sterling was convicted of sexually assaulting a young girl. Are they pro sexual assault of young girls?

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


Can we break this down?
2 of these were killed by non-police officers. With Botham Jean, she was not on duty at the time, so I consider that a civilian killing. So with that, we have 3 out of 7 who are not due to police brutality, which is what this is all about.

Within another route, Botham Jean and Tatiana Jefferson killers were both sentenced to prison time. Ahaud Arbery killers are both locked up right now, awaiting trial. The same goes George Floyd's killer.

So from here we are left with Trayvon, Mike, or Alton. Alton had a gun, so that goes against the "unarmed black man" narrative. In the video the cop can be heard saying he's going for the gun. There's no way you can prosecute the cops based off of that.

So now that leaves you with Trayvon and Mike. They were both unarmed, and their shooters were deemed not guilty. There is no video for either killing. So without getting into the facts of the case at all, let's just be hypothetical and assume both were innocent and unjustly killed.

That would leave you with 2 unjust killings in the past 8 years. 2 in the past 8 years. Wtf.

Let's review-

Martin - Attacked citizen and killed. Not a police shooting. Ruled self defense at trial.

Brown - Robbed store, assaulted store owner, attacked police officer. Ruled self defense after lengthy investigation.

Sterling - Selling drugs, pulled gun on citizen, fought police, tried to pull gun on police. Ruled self defense after lengthy investigation.

Jean - Killed by off-duty police officer in negligent shooting. Officer indicted, found guilty, in prison.

Jefferson - Killed by on-duty police officer after she pointed a gun at him from inside her house. Officer indicted, awaiting trial.

Arbery - Killed by citizen after being inside construction site. Citizens arrested, indicted, pending trial.

Floyd - Died in police custody after passing counterfeit bill, fighting police, was high on fentanyl at time of death, had medical issues, cause of death open to debate. Officers arrested and charged with murder.


SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO TELL ME THE PROBLEM HERE. LOOKS LIKE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM IS WORKING JUST FINE. I wish none of these people had died but the causative factor in most of them is people commit a crime and then fight the police leading to a violent end. The Jean and Jefferson shootings are straight frick ups and the officers are in jail or about to be. The deaths of individuals at the hands of another private citizen aren't on the police and happen every day multiple times a day. No one seems to care about that.

It really doesn’t matter the truth. All you have to do is virtue signal and say feel good and catchy stuff and you obviously aren’t racist and are an ally of POC

I'm starting a new movement called SMLM (Shake Machine Lives Matter).

Who's with me!

The same week as Michael Brown. Didn't NYPD kill a guy by kneeling on him? Guy selling cigarettes on the sidewalk or something.

It blows my mind that Alton Sterling is always the one that gets talked about, and not necessarily Philando Castile. Both were armed, but the situations were quit different. Alton was found to have a rap sheet, I think the worst they found on Philando was that he had a couple of speeding tickets. Philando notified the officer that he was a licensed carrier(may have been his fatal mistake), officer told him to not reach for his weapon, but then told him to grab his license. As Philando moved, he got blasted.

Cop was able to get off because of"I feared for my life", but I really do feel that Philando was trying to do the right thing and not make a scene, and I do not think for a second it was his intention to kill the officer.

But still, somehow for some reason, Alton became the face of the movement, and Philando kind of faded into the background. I don't understand.

And yet they skipped Breonna Taylor and Philando Castile.

I don't know about all these people, but it's pretty insulting to Ahmaud Arbery to lump him in with the likes of Michael Broan and Alton Sterling.

It's bizarre to me how all-in McDonalds has been for the blacks in their advertising and marketing. For years, seems every single commercial is focused on young blacks.

So, no white people can be oppressed or victims of violence?

I guess I'm done with McDonalds.

Why doesn't McDonald's mention the recent cop deaths in their ad? Even the black cops?
