Papa Johns/Starbucks/Pool Nazi/evil whites

[JoeB131]

Media wasn't doing it's job in the Papa John's story. He was "negotiating" with an ad agency who wanted him to accept Kanye West to co-appear with him in the company commercials. The ONLY thing Papa is guilty of is stating the obvious about the depravity of the "rap art. He did not want his company to be associated with that "malignant art form" that randomly uses the N word and promotes sketchy themes of violence. The ad agency then threatened to blackmail him. He did not use it pejoratively -- he used it to describe the "art"..

Didn't hear this until today. Drive-by news won't cover the ACTUAL exchange. Don't spread lies. We have too much lying going on to absorb more.

The questionable exchange was that he said that Harlan Sanders had used the N-word and didn't get into trouble. (Harlan Sanders died in 1980).

That and the reason why they had to bring in a consulting firm called "Laundry Service" was that Schattner had already gotten the company in trouble by whining about National Anthem protests bringing down his sales. (you know, and not that his Pizza tastes like cardboard with tomato sauce on it.) The NFL responded by firing Papa Johns and going with Pizza Hut. (which also tastes like cardboard with tomato sauce, but never mind.)

Oh, yeah, and the guy is a Trump supporter. He might as well be wearing a swastika as far as I'm concerned

That's not a questionable exchange. It's a statement of fact. He's in the biz. He should know. And the guy just didn't want people FREELY using that word for art to be associated with his biz. Geez. Give it up.

don't have to.. This POS got flushed by his own board, and we are all better off for it.

In addition to whining about how Colonel Sanders Zombie used the N-word. (Incidentally, his family says he didn't.)

Schattner also waxed nostalgically about how black folks used to get dragged behind trucks.

Everyone at that meeting was mortified and that's how it got out.

And this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Much like his Fuhrer, Donald von Drumpf, Schattner engaged in all sorts of awful behavior.

The Inside Story Of Papa John's Toxic Culture

But the problems run far deeper. Based on interviews with 37 current and former Papa John’s employees—including numerous executives and board members—Schnatter’s alleged behavior ranges from spying on his workers to sexually inappropriate conduct, which has resulted in at least two confidential settlements.

Under Ritchie’s and Schnatter’s watch, multiple insiders describe a laundry list of transgressions: Female employees were mocked and asked if they were menstruating. Male executives made references to “gangbangs” and comments about whether women wanted “to jump on the train.” Three former employees say Ritchie was present when these types of remarks were made and just laughed along.

In 1999, a mobile phone representative named Lesli Workman filed a lawsuit alleging that Schnatter groped her after meeting her at a party in a Louisville park, proceeded to stalk her, then asked her boss to send her to Papa John’s to discuss a possible phone contract. Schnatter denied the allegations and filed a counterclaim alleging that she tried to extort $5 million from him and Papa John’s. The case ended with a confidential settlement.

But white people can NEVER utter the N-word as it proves that they are racist.

But minorities KNOW all whites are racist anyway so it is only confirmation of something they already know anyway.

I think it's a matter of context, which you don't seem to get.

Generally, nobody should use that word.
