When keepin it SJW goes wrong. I'm sure that 10% that got laid off really appreciate the owner's virtue signaling over nothing.

It’s just an excuse to get his dumbass away from the company (which they’ve essentially done at this point). He got ran off the University of Louisville board too for making an arse of himself over what he has donated to the program.

I still think it’s funny his neighbors in Anchorage hate his arse because he takes his helicopter everywhere.

That’s not making a slur. That’s stating a fact.

It's absolutely absurd

I see what you’re saying but if when it comes from the mouth of the CEO of a major fast food company in a meeting it does not look good.

On the May call, Schnatter was asked how he would distance himself from racist groups online. He responded by downplaying the significance of his NFL statement. “Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s,” Schnatter allegedly said, before complaining that Sanders never faced public backlash.


Such a non story.

If a person is clueless about context and socially retarded, sure.
