“Community” was in reference to any local Chick Fil A “in your area.” I’m my opinion.
There was nothing wrong with it. Insinuating and implying that only a black person would ask about a spicy chicken sandwich (or that community was referring to an entire race) is far more racist.
In the lefty endless pursuit of being a victim, they don’t understand the baseless projections they have to make.
If America was remotely as racist as the left claims, there would be ZERO black millionaires and billionaires here. They would’ve all left, yet they’ve only managed to move next to white people.
imagine if the person who tweeted lived in Vermont, and had no Chick-fil-A.
Bingo. Don’t forget Sharpton who should’ve been in jail years ago for tax evasion. Those 2 losers been race baiting for $$$ for sOOO long.
Sharpton came later, but he's of the same ilk, no doubt. What a loser.
I remember when Jackson went after the big tech companies. I had to laugh because the big tech companies were already learning woke, and here's Jackson telling them they need to hire more blacks. The problem was there are not a lot of black techies. When I was taking CS in the 80s, there were no blacks in the program. Just whites and Asians. Not a lot of women either.
In the end, the tech companies made large donations and put blacks into administrative positions. I understand most did not last long, but I think John W. Thompson was successful. Symantec made him CEO soon after the meeting with Jackson, but he was an old IBMer, so he had experience.
"Your community" is racist? My take is that Chik-fil-a stated that when they offer a product like that, they will advertise it where available. How can that be racist? Chic-fil-A took a lot of heat from homosexuals in the past for their donations to organizations that aren't homosexual-friendly. Fair enough. They have changed their donation plans to avoid in the future but since then they have become a target and ANYTHING they do will be criticized.
Chick-fil-a's tweet wasn't a "poor choice of words".
Many chains like this one, often have a certain item in some restaurants and not in others. They might have it in their San Diego restaurants but not in their Sacramento restaurants. Or they might have it in their Denver stores but not in their Syracuse stores. etc. etc. They might even have it in their stores in the eastern part of a town, but not in the western.
That's what this tweet sounds like to me. A customer tweeted, “grilled spicy deluxe but still noooo spicy nuggets…………@ChickfilA…..”
Did this customer check in any other Chick-fil-a stores in his town?
Chick-fil-A responded, “Your community will be the first to know if spicy items are added to the permanent menu, Don!”
"Your community" refers to where you live.
Chick-fil-a didn't make any mistakes. Nor did the customer who sent in the initial tweet.
The only mistakes made, were by the usual collection of whiners who spend their lives trying to find things to be offended by.[/quote]
I took the response in question (with related context) to mean the "community" that wants legitimately "spicy" food offerings. I'm not delving further into this 'incident' as I can already feel my IQ being threatened by mind-numbing absurdity.
