Wendy’s announced Wednesday it will donate $500,000 to support “social justice” groups following backlash over a franchisee’s donation to President Trump’s reelection campaign. “Our voice would be nothing without Black culture,” the fast-food chain tweeted. “Right now, a lot of people are hurting because of blatant racism against Black people. Their voices need to be heard. Period. #BlackLivesMatter. We’re about putting our money where our mouth is. So here’s our money and here’s our mouth. We are committed to donating $500k to support social justice, the youth and education in the Black community starting with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and we’ll have receipts.

In other words, they got shaken down.
I will not put my mouth anywhere near a Wendy's again.

Wait.... are they saying the Trump is a racist?
Regardless, Wendys is now off of the menu. Not because they support bkack Anericans, but because they support "social justice", and primarily because the donation was to counter people triggered by the Trump donation.

Great. First we discover our Chik-Fil-A giving to Southern Poverty Law Center and now we have Wendy’s making sure they are shamed from supporting Trump’s reelection.

The list of no-eat places grows by the day. I cannot understand why these places want to urinate (thanks Lucianne grammar police) off everyone who voted for Trump. That is okay. Their food had gotten pretty mediocre anyway.

There is a long list coming in to being - a long list of virtue-signaling, Antifa-supported, SJW, etc entities that have just removed any and ALL of our family money going to them - forever. Restaurants, online companies, you name it. I keep it up daily now. It started back when the BLM and others were guilting companies into monetary support - shakedowns. It has just grown and grown, In this new economy we are facing - one of Depression-era losses and not of short duration, with people deciding much more carefully how and IF they will spend what $ they have, it is SUCH a bad move to align w violence and weakness from any corporate structure. Even KFC got in the act. The list is now on our phones and is apparently going to be needing updated DAILY. Even Chicago was begging WalMart not to leave the city.
What a project now. Once all the memorials are over for the St. George Floyd, even our choice of cell phones and carriers will change.

Very sorry, Wendy's, but Black Lives Matter doesn't give a flying (expletive deleted) about the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. You will have to give your $500K directly to THEM! Then you will have to do what they TELL YOU to do. Then you will have to do exactly what Rubicon predicted and change your little white privileged (expletive deleted) to a Proud Black Woman raising an angry fist.
What is in store for the nation and the "Black Community" when 3 years has passed and they are protesting that "nothing has changed" in spite of your $500K extortion money and some black man has been shot dead while attacking a cop?

The George Floyd protests have become a farce. George Floyd was a good man who was murdered by a bad group of cops and now his memory is being used to seed unrest by anarchists. Justice is being served and the cops will spend the rest of their lives in jail. Now, emotion has over taken reality. Its amazing to see how many people are so freakin weak minded and easily led. They burn your cities down and you still don't freakin get it. People are being had and being manipulated because they're a bunch of morons. Got it..

Basically what is going on is, "Support Trump and you may have a terrible accident. Some bad people might just burn down your businesses". Unsaid but not unheard.
How is this not handled under the RICO statutes?

We need to know the name of the person at Wendy's who made this decision and released this whiny useless tweet.
I like Wendy's. There are some very good franchise owners.
Do you know what Blacks felt like when the KKK showed up? They felt like this Wendy's in front of the crowd in this picture.

Trump is NOT racist. We need to have our own LOUD campaign countering the leftist lies with TRUTH!! All the good that the President has done for equality and improving the lives of people of color needs to be known. And we need to BROADCAST the truth about the Republican Party being the true party of equality. We need to DEMONSTRATE that the Democrat Party panders with their identity politics ONLY in WORDS, but never delivers any real policies that help anyone. It is all image and perception but NO action of any significance. We need to show that the Dems only talk big to get votes and to empower themselves at the expense of their constituents. Any actions they do take are just crumbs they throw out to keep the masses quiet in the short run, but it ends up costing the constituents more on the long run.
We cannot allow the left to continue to call us "racist" anymore. It is wrong in so many ways and hurts everyone. I know some of us have just embraced the term as a way to blow off the ludicrous charges being made, but it isn't helping. In fact, it is hurting us worse. Do NOT accept the lies in any way, shape or form. We are NOT a racist country and we need to shout it out loud and clear that racism is NOT acceptable and never has been. A small number of ignorant bigots does NOT define us as a people. America has a better record on racial issues than the rest of the world and, unlike any other country in the world, we were FOUNDED on the concept of equality, recognizing that ALL people were created equal. While it took a while to get everyone to buy into the idea, we have ALWAYS strived to be better than the rest. In fact, millions have sacrificed and given their lives to be what our Founders wanted us to be...a free and equal people with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Do NOT allow the left to rewrite history!! Do NOT allow the left to falsely redefine who we are!! Do NOT accept their false premises....and most importantly, do NOT be complacent about any of it and let them run all over us. We should be proud of who we are and how we see people as INDIVIDUALS to be judged only on the content of their character--Not on irrelevant physical traits. It is the leftists who pigeonhole people into groups and divide us by their categories to set us against each other. The left is obsessed with skin color and other differences and wants to foment hate. We are colorblind and want only unity and love among our fellow American citizens. Please...Make it be known!!! E Pluribus Unum.

More money for the slush fund, with no appreciable results. Of course, if they used the money to help the good blacks to move out of the hood before the police are defunded, that would be good.

Any chance the genuine people who actually care about black people, injustice, and creating a better future for minorities will ever realize that these loathsome virtue signalers are not only doing absolutely nothing other than acting in their own self interest to avoid cancel culture and expand market share, but that their actions only hurt the cause by dividing America and pushing away those Americans who would be willing to compromise and meet in the middle to work out differences? Virtue signaling is a toxic cultural symptom of socialist engineering. It’s the appearance of doing something when you are actually doing nothing. We conservative Americans have an opportunity to build bridges and heal the racial divide by working with, promoting, and investing in minority owned businesses that were just burned to the ground. Small business is the engine of America and jobs keep people out of police custody, puts food on tables, and leads to prosperity and happiness. That should be our focus.

Another Social Justice Weenie shuffles into the guilt boxcar. Of course Wendy herself is highly offensive to people of color. She is not only white...she has pigtails, and red hair! She looks like the red-headed stepchild, so white trash.

More meaningless virtue signaling by another corporation. It will mean nothing to the blacks rioting who will undoubtedly be laughing in private at how they got another corporation to succumb to their blackmail.

I will be fine never setting foot in a Wendy's or patronizing any store or website that uplifts undisciplined behavior and demeans all police officers. I have an ever-growing list of companies I'll avoid like the plague. I can live without them but they can't live without people like me. There are too many of us.

Wendy's donates $500K to support rioting, looting, and anarchy. The SJW never intend for their wars to end. The grievances are evergreen, and forever.

Al Sharpdung is screaming tonight, "MO MONEY! MO MONEY!
disgusting moral cowards - I haven't eaten at a Wendy's since about 2007. That was when a very young mexican girl (illegal) took my $20 for my small meal - took a bunch of time shuffling around then went to an mexican boy (illegal) in the back where they did an"exchange" of something and then came back and gave me change for a $10 she held in her hand. Not exactly David Copperfield there. I raised a stink and the manager came over to address the crime, she acted indignant and grudgingly handed me what I was owed. I'm glad they now have cameras overhead monitoring each transaction, but I'll never eat there again.

Shake downs, initially conducted by Sharpton, but morphing into the community organizing of rabid animals by Barry, actually work. When are businesses going to get wise to this? Are they allowed a write off on their tax returns so it's no skin off their nose?

And yet, Wendy's is owned by "wipipo," and their logo features a white girl smugly flaunting her white privilege instead of a Proud Black Woman raising an angry fist to smash the white power structure. For shame, Wendy's.
