re: McDonalds sued for not advertising enough with black-owned media

This is about economic inclusion of African American-owned businesses in the US economy,” Allen said in the press release. “McDonald’s takes billions from African American consumers and gives almost nothing back.

McDonalds gives the blacks the food they pay for. Also if blacks spend billions with McDonalds barely advertising with black media it sounds like they don’t need to waste money advertising to the blacks.

White people will get pissed about this, but they'll never advocate for their own interests the way every other group does.

When everything is racist, nothing is racist.

Open and shut case.

The sheer fact that black folks even think that McDonald’s doesn’t is evidence enough for a win.

Anyone that questions that is racist. Latoya sits in first class because we don’t understand what it’s like to go through life as a black woman and in this case we don’t understand what it’s like to see ads for fast food as a black person

This has nothing to do with discrimination. This is the commercial version of playing the race card. Winning this suit would do nothing for “Black America”. It would only help Byron Allen

This. Byron owns both of those networks....there's a reason why he pointed to those two.

Suing companies over race issues is Byron Allen's grift, has been for years.

Yep. He doesn’t actually run his companies/networks as the board of directors know he’s in WAY over his head. He’s a figurehead and he’s black so it’s a positive as he can strong arm other companies into generating outsized advertising dollars.

And his companies are way over leveraged as banks have been strong armed into financing his acquisitions. I wouldn’t be surprised that with rate hikes, he desperately needs the money to keep the house of cards standing.

They hire blacks for the ads, market towards black customers, and staff their restaurants with blacks. But I guess that’s not enough.

Makes sense

They give millions of orders of cheeseburgers, fries, and orange drinks. That's kind of what they do.

Advertising is racist? I only see black or mixed families in commercials anymore

Didn’t McDonald’s get shite on a few years back for “targeting minorities” and flooding “poor areas” with unhealthy food options?

True story.

They were shite on for “targeting” black and Hispanic communities.
