This website will serve to educate the general public on Black people and the Stuff That Black People Don't Like. Black people have many interesting eccentricities, which include disliking a litany of everyday events, places, household objects and other aspects of their everyday life.
Black people are an interesting subject matter and this website will chronicle the many problems in life that agitate this group of people.

We've been itching to start doing the old # posts again and have a long essay on the rap group Odd Future (who rap about rape) and Ashley Judd that has been gestating in our mind for about two weeks. Also, a highly combustible situation is brewing New York where the parents of a Black college football player, Danroy Henry Jr., who was killed for failing to cooperate with police, are suing.
Just like in the Jena 6 case, all Black people will rally around Danroy's family pouring more gasoline on a situation that is only one spark away from turning into a mighty conflagration.
A video has appeared on Worldstarhipop.com of four teenagers beating up another teenager to the point that she eventually suffered an alleged seizure in a McDonald’s.
The video shows the manager and employees of the McDonald’s trying to stop the fight, but the group of girls continued pounding on the teenager.
The girl began twitching on the floor a few minutes after the girls left the McDonald’s.
Not to be outdone, but another Black patron of McDonald's had a 365Black moment:
It seems that McDonald’s is becoming the new favorite place to find crazy videos of people going insane.
In this video, a woman accuses a McDonald’s employee of throwing something at her. She then does the same thing and takes a few pylons and throws them behind the counter. She also took the registers and threw them on the floor.
The manager of the McDonald’s was heard telling the customer to please calm down, but she refused to.
If an intrepid graphic designer reading this wants to win a free copy of both SBPDL Year One and Hollywood in Blackface, create a quick logo using McDonald's 365Black branding material; though it might be hokey, we at Stuff Black People Don't Like think it's time to boycott McDonald's. Send it to SBPDL1@gmail.com
McDonald's is not only unhealthy for the body, providing no nutritional value, but it provides a venue for behavior that can only be labeled as 365Black. Go to Chick-fil-A instead.
Not to be outdone, the show Survivor on CBS provided a moment of clarity for all to see. More on this later, but thanks to a loyal reader who sent this story in, one can see that any criticism of a Black person will be construed as immediately racial in tone.
The full episode of the racial moment on Survivor is available courtesy of Hulu.com (season 22, episode 10). Watch it here. Also, a quick run down of the episode is here.
Funny, McDonald's continues to provide moments of clarity as well.
The collapse of Black Run America (should it be Black-Run America?) is coming. To borrow McDonald's marketing phraseology, "I'm loving it."
McDonald's is a company that brags about its commitment and devotion to not only diversity, but employing Black people in owner/operator roles. It is committed to the concept of 365Black.
McDonald's 365Black campaign continues with melee in Cleveland
Someone from McDonald's even wrote a book about the corporate strategy of promoting diversity above all other values that has the Orwellian title, None of Us is as Good as All of Us.
Yesterday, McDonald's hoped to hold open auditions for potentially 50,000 new employees peddling high-caloric meals at value meal prices. Sadly, the reality of 365Black got in the way:
The fast-food chain hoped to hire 50,000 employees for its more than 14,000 U.S. locations, including about 600 employees at its 165 sites in the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto area Tuesday.
That averages to less than three jobs per outlet nationally, although some local sites said they were planning to hire as many as 15.
No word on how many of these applicants where college-educated, middle-aged white males who have been sacrificed at the altar of diversity. Newsweek has a cover on the "beached white male" that paints a dreary picture of the job prospects for 40-60 year-old, college-educated white males (in fact, that magazine almost gloats when reporting the following):
The same guys who once drove BMWs, in other words, have now been downsized to BWMs: Beached White Males.
Through the first quarter of 2011, nearly 600,000 college-educated white men ages 35 to 64 were unemployed, according to previously unpublished Labor Department stats. That’s more than 5 percent jobless—double the group’s pre-recession rate. That might not sound bad compared with the plight of younger, less-educated workers and minorities, but it’s a historic change from the last recession, when about half as many lost their oxford shirts. The number of college-educated men unemployed for at least a year is five times higher today than after the dotcom bubble. In New York City, men in the 35-to-54 kill zone have lost jobs faster than any other group, including teenage girls, according to new data from the Fiscal Policy Institute.
Salon.com published an article saying white males are still the most privileged group in America, but these Disingenuous White Liberal (DWL) online publication fails to account for Black Run America (BRA), that radical agenda promoted by every organization that seeks to promote Black people to the level of infallibility.
None of us is as good as all of us? It's obvious that Black Run America (BRA) has an official fast food franchise in McDonald's and what's equally obvious is that a massive political movement is in its infancy.
Hundreds of thousands of highly educated, middle-aged white males have been castrated by the merging of corporate and governmental policy and direction with the agenda of BRA.
You don't think at some point blow back will occur?
If you’ve been reading this Web site for awhile now nothing that we post should surprise you. No story of utter depravity should induce shock, no mainstream newspaper article or CNN story bemoaning the lack of Black participation in certain vocations will astonish, and certainly anything construed as a Hate Fact will undoubtedly be further validation of what a simple, honest appraisal of the Black community would surmise.
We have tried to come up with a phrase to describe the totalitarian regime that the United States of America has become, where any and all criticism of Black people must be viciously stamped out. Though Black people do not literally run the government, the government of the United States of America is run for their specific and stated betterment.
That is why the term Black Run America (BRA) has come to play a vital part in this Web sites evolution. No one believes Black people actually run the United States government – though cities and counties that they do run have a tendency to break down completely and lose their accreditation – but the United States government’s main objective is augmenting Black people’s existence for the better.
The media – which unabashedly shapes the public’s opinion and the direction of a debate better than any medium ever created – is firmly controlled by the same governing tenets BRA: thou shall never show Black people in a negative light. The corollary to this rule being: if Black people are shown in less than positive circumstances the culpability for this condition will always fall upon white racism.
Disingenuous White Liberals (DWLs) are firmly in control of every institution (media, government, academia, and the military) and through strenuous effort they ensure that BRA remains unopposed.
Funny: DWL’s live far removed from Black people and actively engage in pricing them out of major cities that will soon be virtually Black free (San Francisco and New York offer prime examples of this).
Nothing shocks us anymore at Stuff Black People Don’t Like. We have read stories from around the country that confirm the veracity of Hate Facts and profiled the collapsing Black underclass that threatens to explode at any moment.
Believe whatever conspiracy you want; the ultimate conspiracy of the 20th century (and 21st century) was the ability by the DWLs who run BRA to create an atmosphere where toleration for the proliferation of the Black underclass – and the morals of that community - became viable.
If BRA did not exist, positive images of Black people through sports would still be plentiful, but these would be juxtaposed with the reality of the Black underclass where the majority of these athletes call home.
No one dares point out that the problems of Black people are largely self-perpetuating, and those like Bill Cosby who bring attention to the massive problems within that community are tragically castigated by the same people he is attempting to help.
This quote personifies the power of the media (television, commercials and film) and how BRA has been palatably packaged in a non-threatening way:
“The American motion picture is the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda in the world today. It is a great distributor for ideas and opinions. The motion picture can standardize the ideas and habits of a nation. Because pictures are made to meet market demands, they reflect, emphasize and even exaggerate broad popular tendencies, rather than stimulate new ideas and opinions. The motion picture avails itself only of ideas and facts which are in vogue. As the newspaper seeks to purvey news, it seeks to purvey entertainment.” – Edward Bernays, Propaganda
BRA thrives on propaganda with the creation of Black Fictional Heroes (February 2011 is approaching for new inductions into this growing pantheon) in both film and television comprising a vital component of manufacturing positive images of Black people through actors and actresses in popular roles.
Just remember this: the plan for the creation of BRA is not new. It has been around for quite some time. Without the positive images of sports, there is no deflection from the endless stories of criminality, cop killings and fast food meltdowns that Black people seem to constantly find themselves participating in on a daily basis.
Over the past 50 years, the media has put out movie after movie, sitcom after sitcom and commercial after commercial that has helped manufacture a false paradigm where Black people in America reside in a happy, whitopia-style existence. Academia has done everything in its power to instill Black pride and create an environment where academic success is viewed as acting white (though SAT, ACT and every standardized test result would seem to validate this view).
And through 50 years of propaganda, white people still have no desire to live anywhere near Black people or send their kids to school with a population of Black children that is nearly 3/4th’s illegitimate. It is Black people who desire living around white people, sending their kids to school districts they do not live in or demanding forced busing.
TV shows and movies might showcase an inauthentic and fabricated view of the Black community, but YouTube and the Internet continually deflate this carefully constructed image with crushing finality. Take these two stories from IHOP and Wendy’s, two restaurants that have decided to implement McDonald’s 365Black moniker with stunning efficiency.
A Midlands restaurant's parent company is reviewing video of a fight in its dining room to determine how to make the dining experience safer for its patrons.
A spokesperson for International House of Pancakes says corporate leaders are looking at a video posted on YouTube showing an out of control early morning crowd at its Orangeburg location early Saturday morning.
The cell phone video shows punches flying, drinks being thrown and tables and chairs being knocked over in the dining room at the IHOP on North Road.
The two minute clip starts out with an unidentified woman yelling "I ride the ride! I ride the ride!" Then she yells "Back off! Back off!" and punches start flying.
The video is unsettling to some Orangeburg residents. "It bothers me that my mother, my family could be out trying to enjoy a simple meal," said Eric Collins. "It makes you wonder... Am I going to be next? Am I going to get caught in this?"
During the brawl, a man with a black jacket with "security" written on the back attempts to break up the fight, but the punching and name calling continues.
Later in the video a man can be swinging what looks like a cane at an unidentified woman. That same man is seen at the end of the video walking toward the door of the restaurant claiming he 'hasn't done anything.'
Kenneth Collier and his goddaughter are embarrassed the video is getting attention on the Internet. "It just make us look bad, ignorant, all of the above," said Collier. "It's just ridiculous."
"I don't see how you can talk about kids acting the way they do. When grown-ups acting like that. I just don't understand," said Collier. "I guess they're looking for a reality show."
This scene reminds us of that infamous brawl in Florida, the primary variable connecting each disparate story is the presence of Black people.
Next we have Wendy’s, a restaurant famous for donating large portions of income to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. In keeping with the adopted theme of 365Black that all restaurants – save Chick-fil-A - have incorporated, Black people frequenting a Wendy’s in Queens decided an impromptu brawl was needed to add diversity to the restaurant:
A fight broke out at a Wendy's in Queens Village, leaving one of the workers seriously injured. The disturbing scene from inside the Wendy's was captured on a phone on Friday. In the video, you can see the cashier get pummeled to the ground by teenage girls.
A Wendy's employee told Fox 5 that it started with one girl attacking the woman and a large group of them jumped in and punched her. The worker said it all began when the group started fighting and throwing food. She was behind the counter when her co-worker walked over to try and stop them, she said.
The woman who was attacked suffered a concussion and is currently unable to work.
Two of the teens have been identified by school officials as students at Martin van Buren High School, which is just down the block. School officials said they are working closely with the NYPD to investigate the incident.
The Wendy's franchise director, Louis Meyer, released a statement that read in part: "This vicious attack on our female employee was shocking and uncalled for. We are cooperating with the police in their investigation and our security camera data and anything else they request will be provided to them."
A name is needed to describe the situation that we find ourselves living through in 2011 America. We have come up with Black Run America (BRA), a term that does not mean Black people necessarily run America, but that America has been rebuilt to the benefit of Black people solely (DWLs profit from positioning themselves as the ultimate saviors of Black people).
One thing is certain: a society built upon lies cannot last forever. Fifty-plus years of intense propaganda have ultimately failed, with sports remaining the last line of defense in keeping the concept of BRA alive.
The scenes of savagery at IHOP and Wendy’s punctuate vividly why DWL’s are pricing out the Black underclass from their centers of operations in New York City, San Francisco, Austin, Boulder, Portland and Seattle (Washington D.C and Atlanta are slowly but surely next).
The scenes of savagery at IHOP and Wendy’s have unquestionably been e-mailed hundreds of thousands of times, viewed by millions. As OneSTDV stated brilliantly: YouTube: bringing private moments of HBD to the masses since 2005.
It’s time to get back to the # posts at Stuff Black People Don’t Like, but know this: the ranks of those who can see grow by the second, by the minute and by the day.
Enabled by the election of Mein Obama, Black people feel compelled to “act a fool” with a callous disregard for the consequences since a Black man is president.Black people love being Black, which translates simply to this: they have no shame.
Knowing this, nothing should surprise you anymore either.
McDonald’s is the unofficial fast food restaurant of SBPDL. Nothing beats a Big Mac, fries and a coke at the eating establishment that dubs itself 365 Black! Nothing… except maybe Popeye’s Chicken, but that’s a story for another day.
McDonald’s has capitalized off the magnetic pull it exerts toward Black people, who find the Golden Arches so appealing that they will stop at nothing to garner McNugget’s .
“At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind 365Black.com. It's a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald's.”
We at SBPDL agree completely and believe that the plan to go 365 Black at McDonald’s is being warmly embraced by the white community as well. Consider the actions of Melodi Dushane, a white woman in Toledo who found the lack of McNugget’s so horrifying she lashed out at the drive-through window with the ferocity of Bill Goldberg.
A Toledo woman, who allegedly put her fist through a McDonald's drive-thru window after being told her order couldn't be filled, appeared in court Saturday on a felony vandalism charge. Melodi Dushane, 24, of 1332 Felt St., became “upset that chicken nuggets weren't available” Friday and “punched out the drive-thru window” at the restaurant on Front Street at Main Street, according to Toledo police.”
Worse, but a few days after Ms. Dushane’s attempt to go 365 Black at McDonald’s, yet another Black woman struck with a vengeance at the unofficial fast food restaurant of Black people. A Kansas City McDonald’s was the venue for this 365 Black moment:
A McDONALD'S customer unhappy with her hamburger has taken out her rage on staff - and it has all been captured on video.
Surveillance video from a Kansas City McDonald's restaurant clearly shows a woman demanding a refund for what she claimed was an inferior hamburger.
After being denied the refund, she throws a bucket of water over the counter along with other items, including a basket of straws, cookies, a sign and even three of the cash registers.
The incident played out in front of several unsuspecting customers, including children.
The woman was gone before police arrived and has not been identified.”
Some people have dared to call the 365 Black initiative at McDonald’s racist, arguing if McDonald’s went 365 white that the effort would be universally denounced as a form of reverse-discrimination:
I’m not a racist, but due to the fact that race is such an issue right now and they are trying to capitalize on it, I have decided to call for a boycott on them.
There is nothing more racist that this website.
To decide if something truly is racist, you only have to ask one simple question. If there was a 365white.com website for only whites, would others call IT racist?
The answer is, YES, They would, so therefore 365black.com is racist. Plain and simple."
Black people find this argument absurd and calls of double standards in the way the various races are treated in America is but a red herring utilized by white people.
“Los Angeles police are looking for a man who beat up a 16-year-old girl at a McDonald's counter after she complained about him cutting in line.
Police announced their investigation Tuesday night and posted surveillance video online.
Police say the girl, her 5-year-old niece and a friend were standing in line on Sept. 14 at the McDonald's in South Los Angeles. The suspect and two young boys then approached the counter when the 16-year-old started arguing with the man over who was first in line.”
365 Black is a genuine attempt at creating Martin Luther King’s color blind society and McDonald’s should congratulate itself on a marketing plan that would make David Ogilvy proud. Stuff Black People Don’t Like doesn’t include the 365 Black idea at McDonald’s, because this program delivers plenty of medicine to help heal the nations deep racial wounds.
Other hilarious mishaps at fast food restaurants can be found here.
These college-educated individuals collectively comprise the best educated workforce on the planet, regardless of their inability to conjure up memories of parties or minute details of a microeconomics lecture on the comparative advantage of trade with Argentina, as an important Business Weekarticle points out:
"Similarly, 28% have a college degree, a fivefold gain over this period. Today's U.S. workforce is the most educated in the world...
But now, for the first time ever, America's educational gains are poised to stall because of growing demographic trends. If these trends continue, the share of the U.S. workforce with high school and college degrees may not only fail to keep rising over the next 15 years but could actually decline slightly, warns a report released on Nov. 9 by the National Center for Public Policy & Higher Education, a nonprofit group based in San Jose, Calif. The key reason: As highly educated baby boomers retire, they'll be replaced by mounting numbers of young Hispanics and African Americans, who are far less likely to earn degrees.
Black people read this article and cringe, for a work force that was once comprised of 82 percent white people - a majority of which spent their college tenure drinking insane amounts of alcohol - was able to build the most dynamic, diverse economy man has ever known. And yet, the more diverse the United States gets, the worse our economic production will be, regardless of how much booze white people drink in college. As Business Week points out, it is merely our educational gap - greater percentage of young Black people and less white people in the near future - that will endanger our status as a superpower. Bing drinking whites are apparently capable of unimaginable heights when it comes to dreaming of vast contributions to the nation and its economic development, but a influx of diversity merely dilutes those white peoples ability - who binge imbibed in college - to carry the burden alone.
And what is it that these white people are doing in college, whilst binge drinking? Well, many of these binge drinking white people (and future engines of economic growth in America) are members of fraternities and sororities while at college, for these social organizations give them the ability to network with older, binge drinking white people and grant them access to potential careers that will fuel the American economy, until (as Business Weekpointed out) the demographic changes disrupt that economic engine completely.
All across the United States, fraternities and sororities help men and women become model citizens, contributors to society and instills a valuable code of conduct and work ethic through character building and lessons in the importance of group bonding.
Greek letters are not an uncommon sight upon the inside shin of a white male, who takes just pride in his fraternity and girls are known to have their letters on all forms of clothing, their cars and more importantly,belonging to said Greek community helps create friendships that will last for life.
Black people tried to emulate fraternities and sororities, to mixed results, with one prominent Black sorority seeing hard earned dollars go towards a $900,000 wax statue:
"Members of the country's oldest black sorority are suing to remove their president, alleging that she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of the group's money on herself – some of it to pay for a wax statue in her own likeness.
In the suit filed in Washington, D.C., the Alpha Kappa Alpha members also alleged that international President Barbara McKinzie bought designer clothing, jewelry and lingerie with the sorority credit card
The lawsuit says $900,000 was spent on the McKinzie wax statue, but Gray said he has since learned the amount was for the two statues. The statues reportedly are to be displayed in the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore, Md., he said."
You would think that every person who lives in the United States and benefits from these binge drinking white peoples economic prowess would be happy that these benevolent palefaces create economic production that can employ millions. Alas, many of the memories that are forgotten by the binge drinking white people are remembered vividly by these (as Business Week said) soon to be thorns in the side of any economic expansion in the US.
We are discussing Halloween this week at SBPDL, and what better holiday that white people adore to drive home the point of Black people's angst and unflappable disgust at these binge drinking whites actions while they are co-eds, then a Black-themed party?
You see, on Halloween, people get to dress up in ways that on any other day would probably sentence that person to the insane asylum, but on this most auspicious of nights, the opportunity to indulge in the most carnal of fantasies is allowed
Binge drinking white college students dress up as Black people on Halloween - not to be racist - but to emulate their favorite people whom they all wish to secretly be, for the pressure of holding up the American economy before (as Business Week stated) the rising tide of color capsizes it soon, is a great pressure indeed. Impersonation, it has been said, is the most sincere form of flattery. These binge drinking white students dressing up as pimps and hos for a party or as gangstas is but a modest attempt to show solidarity with their Black brethren, who find Halloween insufficiently 365Black.
At schools from Auburn University, John Hopkins University, the University of Tennessee, and the University of Richmond have all seen students partake in emulate Black people out of respect for their cultural practices:
"Although many students’ Halloween costumes elicited laughter this past weekend, one person’s controversial choice ignited outrage and a flurry of discussion among the University of Richmond community.
Around 1 a.m. on Oct. 28, witnesses said a person was seen walking around the 800 block of the University Forest Apartments wearing a painted black face, a dreadlock wig and large, painted pink lips. Those who saw the person said the costume reminded them of blackface, a style of theatrical makeup that was popular in the United States during the 1800s, and one that carries a strong tones of racism in today’s society."
"For example, when three white students tried for their own laughs by dressing up as African Americans (one as Uncle Sam in blackface, the other two as tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams) for a fraternity costume party, few administrators at the University of Virginia were amused.
The public reaction has run the gamut from amusement at a sophomoric attempt at humor, to a laissez-faire "boys will be boys" attitude, to mild discomfort at white students having acted in such a politically incorrect fashion, to outrage at what some consider to be blatant racism.
Far from being an isolated incident, the flare-up at UVA over the blackface costumes follows a string of blackface controversies at college fraternities elsewhere in the country. For example, two fraternities at Auburn University were suspended after students attended a Halloween party dressed in blackface, do-rags and Afro wigs; at another party, one fraternity member came dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan and another came as a black man with a noose around his neck. After ruling that the school had violated the students' right to free speech, however, a circuit court judge lifted the suspensions.
In another incident, the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at the University of Louisville in Kentucky was tried by a school hearing panel and found guilty of conduct that "seriously alarms, intimidates or harasses others and serves no legitimate purpose" after several of its members wore black face paint to dress as characters such as Snoop Dogg and the film character Shaft at an off-campus Halloween party. Another fraternity member, an African American, wore a white sheet and came in a Ku Klux Klan costume, which he later burned at the party.
The University of Tennessee suspended the Kappa Sigma fraternity after complaints arose over several students who wore black paint on their faces, dressing as the Jackson Five for an "air guitar" competition at a campus party; another student attended as Louis Armstrong.
One member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Syracuse University faced disciplinary charges of harassment and disorderly conduct after attending graduation costume parties at several local bars dressed as golf celebrity Tiger Woods.
The University of Mississippi suspended the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity after a Halloween party where a student who was dressed in a police uniform pointed a toy gun at another member who had painted his face black and was wearing overalls and a straw hat."
"The issue of free speech is at the heart of a lawsuit filed last month by suspended members of the fraternity Beta Theta Pi against Auburn University. The university suspended 10 members of two White fraternities -- Beta Theta Pi and Delta Sigma Phi -- following a Halloween party where members performed mock lynchings, paraded in blackface and donned homemade Ku Klux Klan hoods. Members of Delta Sigma Phi said they are also considering legal action.
"This is the hardest thing for people to understand: The First Amendment protects free speech, regardless of how offensive it is," says Robert Sedler, a constitutional law professor at Wayne State University and an expert on First Amendment law. "And that means tolerating an awful lot of hurtful speech. It's similar to flag burning. No matter how much that turned patriotic people off, it was protected by the Constitution."
For, as Business Week stated, the US economy might be running out of steam and nearing the end of its global dominance with the more Black people and less white people in the workforce, yet the benevolent nature of dressing up as Black people for Halloween is one of the most evil things a person can do.
Even though binge drinking white people might be performing these acts of Black face and flattery far removed from said Black people, the hurt feelings caused by these events are the ultimate form of insensitivity.
Worse, though it is flattery, Black people have a hard time taking jokes at their own expense. In the end, as Business Week pointed out, the US economy will be in the hands of precious few former binge drinking whites, who once had the audacity of dressing up in homage to Black people.
And it will be these Black people who decide the fate of America's status as a superpower.
There is a time and place that is now but an epoch of history, forever enshrined in the history books as an era of oppression, persecution and cultural hegemony fostered upon venerable Black people who were mere unwitting subjects to this endless parade of supremacy: Pre-Obama America.
It is safe to state that the new term introduced to the vernacular in this country – Whitopia – would have been severely out of place in Pre-Obama America, for the nation as a whole was a Whitopia. Yes, the United States was once a Whitopia from sea to shining sea and this foolishness had to come to an end.
In this world of yore, a date existed on the calendar that all children looked forward too, for October 31 offered the opportunity for kids to collect free candy by going door to door in their neighborhoods.
This adventure into the Whitopia was an exercise in what Robert Putnam would eventually deride as now extinct due to the diversity we now have, which had to replace the evil oppression of the past:
“At the same time, though, Putnam's work adds to a growing body of research indicating that more diverse populations seem to extend themselves less on behalf of collective needs and goals.”
Halloween is a holiday for communities and can only be celebrated in areas of the country that are safe for children to travel in packs. Trust has to exist from household to household, so that doors can be opened and treats dispensed to costume-adorned children, whom could harbor tricks if the offerings aren’t satisfactory.
Once, a company found it imperative to work hand in hand with Whitopia’s across the increasingly Balkanizing United States to ensure that the families who frequented the restaurant would feel an attachment to the community, and continue to indulge in the food served under the Golden Arches.
Yes, we are talking about McDonald’s, a company that has served billions the world over, but got its start in the Whitopia that once was America:
“The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion and the company became listed on the public stock markets in 1965. Kroc was also noted for aggressive business practices, compelling the McDonald brothers to leave the fast food industry.
The McDonald brothers and Kroc feuded over control of the business, as documented in both Kroc's autobiography and in the McDonald brothers' autobiography. The site of the McDonald brothers' original restaurant is now a monument.
Yes, McDonald’s does accurately depict the “American way of life” or at least the path it is now traversing, for like Frosts “two roads diverging”, the United States decided to embark on a future removed from a universal “Whitopia” and opted for geographically scattered “Whitopia's” amidst a rising tide of color.
Now, McDonald’s marketing strategy is officially targeted at those who notoriously don’t pass on seconds - Black people - for Sprite and McDonald’s are a staple in Black peoples diet and the corporate giants behind these products believe that a mere 13 percent of population is enough of the market share to warrant 365Black:
“At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind 365Black.com. It's a place where you can learn more about education, employment, career advancement and entrepreneurship opportunities, and meet real people whose lives have been touched by McDonald's."
With McDonald unveiling its 365Black campaign, it is clear that this corporate heavyweight no longer finds the contributions of those who inhabit Whitopia’s important, save for the occasional purchase of a value meal. Interestingly, this campaign might be paying off, for the same people who hate losing in the lottery our finding the calorie jackpot in the form of the $1 menu at McDonald’s:
“McDonald's Corp. on Thursday reported a 6% rise in third-quarter profit as new products and promotions helped fuel growth across all of its global markets.
Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's /quotes/comstock/13*!mcd/quotes/nls/mcd (MCD59.24, -0.19, -0.32%) earned $1.26 billion, or $1.15 a share, on the period up from $1.19 billion, or $1.05 a share, in the same quarter a year ago.”
Once, McDonald’s marketing campaigns worked overtime to reflect the majority of the nation it wished to see frequent the many franchises that dotted the landscape, but that was in a time when the Whitopia’s of today was America of yesterday.
Most incredibly, McDonald’s had a long history of dedicating the month of October to Halloween, and catering it’s Happy Meal product to children through the innovative strategy of offering its kids meal in a candy-collecting, Halloween theme pail:
“In October 1986, America was introduced to three Halloween pails: McGoblin, McBoo, and McPunk'n. The buckets were presumably intended to be taken trick-or-treating and used to collect candy, but they are far too small for that. The buckets say they are safe for children ages 1 and over, but they're hardly useful to children over the age of 4. In my experience, the pumpkin pails hold roughly one street's worth of candy, assuming the street has at least 40 houses and none of them belong to dickheads with no Halloween spirit.
"But once you start kindergarten, a bucket's worth of candy just isn't enough. You realize that there's a whole town's worth of free candy out there for the taking and you make your mother take you all over the neighborhood until you have enough chocolate to last you until Easter. Or maybe you don't... but I did."
Not only did McDonald’s offer Halloween pails for young people, it offered a candy-collecting device for parents to use so that they didn’t have to purchase another said device, thanks to the fine folks at McDonald’s who were interested in community-building for other people, instead of the 365Black demographic, which oddly denies even the existence of 64 percent of United States citizens. (Once, McDonald's placated the majority as this website shows, prior to McDonald’s abandoning marketing to the Whitopia)
Interestingly, the Halloween pails that McDonald’s once issued haven’t been offered under the Golden Arches since 2001, and are nowhere to be found in the new marketing strategy that is 365Black, for Halloween can only work in neighborhoods where trust exists, community reigns and kids can have the freedom to roam without fear.
SBPDL is unsure why, given the criteria listed above, that McDonald's ditched the Halloween effort in the age of 365Black...
McDonald’s strategy to go 365Black has once again proven the adage, “Once you go Black, you never go Back,” for Halloween firmly rests in children's minds all year around. The marketing decision to position McDonald’s as an urban eatery, replete with the canonization of Black people year-round, has had the adverse effect of destroying the Halloween-centric Happy Meal.
Though McDonald’s profits might up in the short term, tailoring its marketing campaign to 13 percent of the United States truly has a short-sighted value proposition for potential investors.
Once, McDonald’s marketing gurus found Halloween an important enough Holiday to invest heavily into, but going 365Black has been a business decision that is strangely at odds with this holiday…
Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes McDonald’s celebrating Halloween, for if in the age of 365Black – well, to put it blunt, if Halloween were worth commending, it would be doing so. It is not, and for good reason. McDonald’s past Halloween marketing plans and product roll out (Happy Meal merchandise) were tied directly to an outdated line of thinking: placating Whitopia’s.
All that matters now is celebrating 365Black, and McDonald's is doing just that. Halloween, oddly, doesn’t fit the bill, for that is a Pre-Obama America celebration of a time that no longer exists, and a holiday that has nothing to do with 365Black.
Black people love life under Mein Obama, the General Zod of Black people the world over. Regardless of the sorrowful state of the economy and the massive job loss for Black people, the admiration that Black people display for Obama will never cease.
More importantly Zod-Obama has empowered the most diverse cabinet in history with a plethora of color that no amount of bleach could ever impair:
"There are those who will never accept that and who seem to think that white males have a monopoly on merit. For them, this entire diversity accounting system is silly and even offensive. They insist that staffing a Cabinet should be like picking a doctor, where you choose the best person regardless of race or background. It's easy to say that when many of the people in government look like you."
No, when you go to a doctor, Black people prefer that that doctor look like them as well, regardless of their merit. Had Michael Jackson not practiced this logically line of thinking, he might still be with us today:
"Michael Jackson’s personal physician will be charged with manslaughter within the next two weeks, a law enforcement source told FOXNews.com."
Of course, no discussion of the greatness of Mein Obama could be complete without mentioning his move to anointing into paid government positions numerous Black people as Czars. Attorney General Eric Holder famously challenged white America (those cowards) to a debate about race:
"Race, Holder said, "is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation's history, this is in some ways understandable. ... If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us."
In his speech, Holder urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for honest discussion of racial matters, including issues of health care, education and economic disparities. He also used more blunt language.
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," Holder said."
A debate on race? That would probably mean Hate Facts would have to be brought into the equation and in polite society, that is just unacceptable, the truth be damned!
However, the cowards that are white people were presented with the disgraced former Czar of green jobs, Mr. Van Jones, and an interesting argument, as he said:
“You’ve never seen a Columbine done by a black child. Never. They always say, ‘We can’t believe it happened here. We can’t believe it was these suburban white kids.’ It’s only them. Now, a black kid might shoot another black kid. He’s not going to shoot up the whole school."
Now, you cowards who might be reading this, prepare to engage Attorney General Holder and the rest of the people who fall lock-step into formation behind Zod-Obama with the reality of Cook County, where a veritable Columbine happens daily in the streets:
"Chicago police geared up to provide extra security at Fenger High School on Monday as they reviewed a graphic amateur video showing a student beaten to death with wooden two-by-fours.
The nearly three-minute video, shot by a girl who attends Fenger, captured the gruesome melee as it unfolded. Derrion Albert, 16, is seen being struck then stumbling to the ground; teenagers then continued to viciously punch, kick and strike him with the wooden boards. The additional evidence is aiding the investigation, Chicago police said."
Combine the two stories, and the whole 2008 picture — the picture unpainted by members of the media — is made clear:
314 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq;
509 people were murdered in Chicago.
Chicago is roughly 33 percent white, 33 percent Black and 33 Hispanic (okay, Mexican - but Black people don't like to acknowledge that they are now the #3 most populace racial group in America), yet this wonderful racial trifecta hardly correlates into a peaceful utopia (in 2009):
"Since January, according to the Chicago Police Department, one in 10 homicide victims has been 16 years old or younger. Since the last school year began, an estimated 45 Chicago public school students have been murdered, the majority of whom had no gang or criminal affiliation. According to the Chicago Sun Times, Chicago is also home to four of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in the country. In many instances, the elderly are being murdered in their own homes, women are being raped and killed coming home from work, and children are being shot - at an alarming rate - while riding their bikes, playing in the park, standing on the street or coming home from school.
Chicago Police Department said that, since January, more than 280 murders have occurred on the streets of Chicago, the majority of which have been with a firearm."
It would be rude to stop there, because Mr. Holder is correct, a national debate on race is vital to understanding the core problems of our nation and, alas, Van Jones was wrong, as Columbine didn't transpire on streets of Chicago over the Fourth of July, but a full-blown reenactment of Mogadishu did:
"The Chicago Tribune - which tracks murders in Chicago on a monthly basis - reported that July 9th, when one woman was strangled and another six people shot to death, was the deadliest day of 2009. During the 4th of July weekend - the bloodiest weekend to date - there were at least 63 shootings and one stabbing, resulting in the loss of 11 lives.
Barack Obama's adopted home town, where he spent so many years as a community organizer is awash in the blood of Black people, at the hands of Black people. The building of the great racial bridge that would forever change Black people's fate in America - Zod-Obama's election - has failed to materialize. Black school children are constantly under attack by other school children in Chicago, a horrifying problem that white people in St. Louis recently were exposed to on a bus, as the lust for violence is migrating to wherever Black people can be found:
"Chicago police officers secure the scene of yet another slaying. The city is setting a grim record this year and many of the victims are young people, as CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports.
Thirty-two Chicago public school students have been killed so far this school year, according to the Chicago Police Department.
And what is almost as disconcerting is the adjustment the that city - and even the children themselves - seem to have made to this uncommon carnage."
The always interesting Drudge Report (Drudgereport.com) has been inundated with truculent images of Black people of late, from Serena Williams, Boise State, Kanye West, St. Louis bus beatings and now the nightmarish sight of Black people attacking a Black student - a straight A student - and beating him to death:
"This is the hard lesson some students at Fenger High School have to deal with after a day of learning. For them it's a hard lesson of reality on the streets.
In all four students were beaten in that melee -- one was released from the hospital Friday morning.
While police continue their investigation, some students say they don't want to go back to Fenger next week.
Rival gang members have been fighting for a month -- and each time one of their fellow classmates is injured.
No knives and no guns were used in Thursday's fight. Just fists, feet and boards."
Mein Obama failed as a community organizer in Chicago, as evidenced by the community he left behind in Chicago when he sought the US Senator seat in 2004. Van Jones failed in his attempt to denigrate white people as monopoly-holders in the Columbine massacre card, as any viewing of the local nightly news would show. Attorney General Holder has failed in his efforts to stem the growing tide of MARs and white people who are prepared for that national debate on race.
Each moment that ticks by that we as a nation refuse to confront the severity of the problem, more innocent lives like Mr. Albert in Chicago and Michael Jackson, will be lost.
Chicago is a wonderful city, as anyone who saw that metropolis act as a stand-in for Gotham City in the 2008 Hollywood mega-hit "The Dark Knight" could tell you.
However, Stuff Black People Don't Like dishearteningly includes the city that Zod-Obama cut his organizing teeth upon, as the reality of Cook County is beginning to cause those cowards that Mr. Holder caustically dismissed in February of 2009, realize Pre-Obama America wasn't so bad after all. If disingenuous white liberals and crusading white pedagogues ever realize that same reality, well... the chance of that happening is about the same as the Cubs winning the World Series.
