McDonald’s will have to defend itself against a $10 billion lawsuit from media mogul Byron Allen over an allegation that the fast food chain doesn’t advertise with Black-owned media. A federal court ruled last week said that Allen and his company, Allen Media Group, can try to prove in court that McDonald’s violated civil rights laws. Allen said in a press release that only a small portion — about $5 million of McDonald’s $1.
” In response, McDonald’s lawyer Loretta Lynch, who was US attorney general during the Obama administration, said that the evidence will show that the company doesn’t discriminate and that Allen’s claims are “meritless.
He could try, it’ll might make him richer. Greed is ugly.
Is it by force to advertise your goods in a black culture media outfit?. Freedom of free enterprise will come to play...,not racial discrimination.... competition is the name of the game....
For black lives to matter, create a niche of excellence than seek indulgence. Create a equivalent or better fast food chain and advertise it. Don't beg for attention after so many years of freedom
Bruh … the world has gone nuts.
You would think they would be thanking McDonald's for not advertising.
Ppl won't take real racial discriminaton cases seriously if someone of Byron's stature files such baseless claims.
Novel lawsuit if I ever heard of one. Now you can claim a company discriminates based on where they advertise? So if McDs puts billboards in black neighborhoods but not in white ones, the white community billboard company can sue? Where does this end?
I'm more curious why he hasn't sued Hollywood after looking at the industry demographics. CNN McDonalds Advertising
All the black shit propaganda
I swear these black people 🖕🏻
What's he going to do with all that money if he wins? Donate it to the black communities that aren't 'exposed' to mcgarbage? Nope, most likely pocket it and get advertising $$$ from McDonald's.
Well I'm suing BET for not featuring my YouTube videos.
for the past 20 years you and NATO tried to stop mullahs from getting neuclear weapons and you fail people of Iran are finishing the job that you faild why don’t you support them. today mullahs rockets are killing Ukraine tomorrow…Do Not negotiat with terrorist MahsaAmini
Another black person playing the race card to extort others. Not everything else hat doesn’t go your way is a racial issue but you have been taught that claiming racism usually gets you something not matter how undeserving. Racist
If he wins I want 1 mil for this comment
Has it occurred to Byron that perhaps his company just sucks?
10 billion, hahahaha
I thought America was a free country. Guess not! There is good and bad in every race, but unfortunately some people have made it bad for certain races because of how they act.
This should be dismissed immediately! Unless he has direct proof of official McDonald’s senior personnel communicating about his claim then he has nothing. One can’t win a lawsuit based on perceived state of mind. Not everything is racism when someone doesn’t get what they want
Good luck!
McDonalds can advertise with whom ever they want what the fuck?
💯 false. The case will be dismissed. Insufficient evidences.
So if I don't watch Oprah, I can get sued ?
I'm sorry this is just stupid. Is there choice who they want to advertise with.
Wonder if that’s at all like The Weather Channel barely showing any weather at all and showing reruns of Ice Road Trucker.
I don't think that's actually illegal.
Popeye's does the same thing, just reversed.
DO THAY HAVE TO WTF CANT MCDONALDS USE ANYONE THAY WANT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
The hell with that I want to file a lawsuit saying McDonald's is racist because they don't have a black McDonald's clown pushing hamburgers and french fries
Black fragility strikes again
This is silly.. go to any dominated black area (at least in Los Angeles). You’ll find a McDonald’s on every corner..
Cha Ching 💰
Support women in Iran MahsaAmini
🤦🏽♀️
