Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” Abraham Joshua Heschel, the Jewish philosopher, broke it down like this, “Racism is man’s gravest threat to man – the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.” Then Rosa Parks summed it up best when she said, “Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.”
Well Ms. Rosa…we’re still tryin’ to overcome this foolishness out here but everyday in this current climate it seems to be gettin’ worse. The news has hit the fan that Papa John’s founder John Schnatter has jumped out of the birthday cake butt naked foamin’ at the mouth talkin’ crazy again.
On Wednesday Forbes first reported that the dun participated in a conference in May with other Papa John’s executives and the company that handles their marketing Laundry Service. They were on the call to help him prepare for an upcomin’ interview to repair his public image.
We all remember that the dun had to step down as the company’s CEO (officially but we all know that he’s still runnin’ the darn company) after he made the idiotic comments about the NFL players protest costin’ him bread. He said that the players should stand for the national anthem and that the NFL needed to hurry up and fix it because it was costin’ his company money. Papa John’s stock plummeted after that foolish comment.
So as they are tryin’ to dig this cat’s image out of a hole on the conference call he was simply asked, “How are you goin’ to distance yourself from racist groups online?” Instead of answerin’ the darn question with a direct answer he asked why he was facin’ the wrath of society for takin’ a stance that all NFL players should stand for the anthem?
Then tried to turn the joint onto Colonel Sanders’ (Kentucky Fried Chicken founder), who is deceased, by sayin’ that ole boy used to say the N-word but he actually said it. I can’t make this foolishness up bruh.
Now accordin’ to the Sanders’ biography written by Josh Ozersky ole boy did refer to black folks as “Negroes” but that’s what we were called durin’ that time period. Sanders was born in 1890!!!! For some strange reason instead of us just bein’ called black folks we’ve been N’s , coloreds, Negroes, African-American’s and N’s all over again. But my point is, Colonel Sanders is dead and gone and has absolutely nothin’ to do with this foolishness wrapped around Schnatter’s image.
Don’t pull a Kobe Bryant on us bruh because you got caught. Remember when he threw Shaq under the bus when he got caught up in Denver? That’s Papa John right now.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Unfortunately, when people are racist they can’t hide it. It just reeks from their pours. No matter what they do to conceal it, it’ll always reveals it’s ugly head. There has to be a change in their hearts for people to truly change. Hopefully this cat will come into the understandin’ that all people are created equal and should be treated that way. If he doesn’t, then the world will continue to pass him and others that think like he does by. Stop me when I start lyin’!
Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
