How is it possible that McDonald's "celebrates" black history? They are all about serving hamburgers and fries. Walk into a McDonalds store and as you stand in line and order your food, nobody is celebrating black history. Go there and see for yourself. As you pay and receive your food, nobody is talking about black history. Nor is there any literature about black history handed out to you, offered to you or even available. As you are receiving your order, go ahead and ask the McDonalds employee about their celebration of black history. Notice the blank stare you will get. Ditto for the drive-through. Go to the McDonalds web site and look for article on black history. There will be none. Now go to the Google search engine and type "black history" into the engine. See if anything about McDonalds comes up in the 3,000,000 results.
It is my opinion that McDonalds is not actually celebrating black history at all. Instead, they only seem concerned with serving you hamburgers, fries and chicken nuggets.
Excellent point, but it seems to me that now they're also about pandering to people based on race. I have to wonder if Jesse and Al got the McDonald's board to buckle before the newsies could even get wind of it... and then I wonder how much the race-hustlers each personally made on the deal.
If you go to McDonald's website and choose USA in "Country" window, it will load another page with the URL below...see that for all details.

I looked this up after going through the drive-thru one morning and seeing a poster for Black History 365...
