Media mogul Byron Allen is suing McDonald’s for racial discrimination and is seeking $10 billion in damages.
Allen Media Group divisions Entertainment Studios Networks, Inc. — parent owner of theGrio — and Weather Group, LLC filed a lawsuit on Thursday, accusing McDonald’s of racial discrimination. The filing alleges that McDonald’s discriminated against Allen’s media entities by refusing contracts and exhibiting a pattern of racial stereotyping.
It charges that despite McDonald’s being an ever present part of the culture and worth billions, it “has categorically discriminated against Black-owned media companies in its advertising spend. Chris, the very definition of systemic racism is when you are ignored, excluded and you do not have true economic inclusion. Black-owned media companies have become extinct from the lack of ad support from companies like McDonald’s.
In other words either you give me a contract or I’ll sue … that’s called blackmail which is ironic coming from a black male
Good to know that if you’re a self important blowhard restaurant chains are obligated to spend money with you!
Maybe he can tap into that rich advertising budget at WokaCola.
Dream ON !!!! Nobody getting that for anything Period !!!!
McDonald’s food is garbage and is a contributing factor to health problems across the board. Byron should advise African Americans to not eat that crap instead of being a greedy race hustling cry baby. Watch super-size me. It’s still true and shocking.
Good Luck getting 10 BILLION !!! LOL LOL LOL
Hahahahahahahhahahaahaha
With all Allens’ so called ‘producer fame’ one would deduce all his enterprise’s would garner enough revenue to
put him above ANY RACIAL SLUR. I think he’s broke from living the ‘high life’. A lawsuit would refill his coffers.
The purveyor of the worst food on Earth, affectionately known as ‘Mickey Dees’, cannot be identified as ‘racist’ because of the fact other than Spanish and black, a white employee is a rare commodity within their ranks. If
there are any they aren’t in the stores in the tri-county area.
Some ‘celebrities’ feel the whole world owes them a position of attention they don’t deserve, such as John Cena. I don’t have any cartoon heros such as Allen or him. Notice I put Allen first to be politically correct. These ‘paper tigers’ are only concerned about ego and simile. They mostly come from nothing but got lucky and capitalized on it. They seem to be sophisticated but are in reality ‘one celled’ and are geared toward the simple minded worship of the populous, who without ‘their’ envy would make NO contribution to this life.
Every time i’ve bit into a McDee’s burger I think of cardboard. It’s warm garbage. Hey, though, they’re a private company and can hire whatever ad agency that brings them the best ROI. Obviously, Mr Allen’s company is not that or it would deserve the contract. There are winners and losers out there, black, white and hispanic.
Give the Whites 10 Trillion then !!!!!
