This truly cements McDonald's reputation as a black restaurant, as befits their cheap junk food menu.

This is just a white man, McDonald, trying to make money off a brotha. I don't fall for that. That's why I eat at Hardees.

McDonalds is alway doing something to help enhance awareness where ever it's needed. Kudos to Bridget Bland and Brennan Williams for sharing this with the BV posters.
I'm not a football fan but I love watching the college marching bands perform and the step teams are on point ;)

Black president so you feel you have to do everthing to look like you are truly fitting in with the times. McDonalds is a joke. Not to mention junky food. I agree with Bill

So real men eat McDonalds? Real men succumb to corporate sponsoring? Good job McDeath, you are tightening your hold on the Black Community. McDonalds helping Black folks "find themselves". Next, Burger King is hosting "Who's Undercover in Your Community?" with Eddie Long as the spokes person holding a Whopper in the mirror.

What a bunch of hypocrites. I bet you will go to an event sponsored by McDonalds. Good for them for trying to portray good black men throughout this country. My first job was at McDonalds and that job taught me lessons that I carried with me today. At least they don't exploit the black community like some of the other fortune 500 companies in this country do. As for Bill Schrier or whatever your name is, you're a sad, pitiful and vile white man who probably had some black person out compete you in some endeavor in the business world and have never gotten over it. What a sad way to exist in this short life we have on this earth. I should be upset at what you stand for, but I'm a better human being than you are. I'm going to pray to God that he send a bleesing your way so that your heart will be filled with kindness and goodwill toward all people.

it's great to see that there are a few who will step up to the plate and DO rather than complain!

McDonalds is a racist company because in all their history there has never been a black hisanic or asian Ronald McDonald. It's always been this white faced clown. Minorities need to stand up for their rights and demand more diversity in McDonalds lilly white clown image it spends so much money to maintain.
