An internal clue:
The perpetrators of the hoax evidently wanted to make sure it was easily identifiable as such. If you dial the 800-number listed above for the McDonald's Corporation, the party you actually reach is KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). The companies aren't related.
McDonald's tweeted back:
"That pic is a senseless & ignorant hoax," a McDonald's representative tweeted soon after the image "went viral" on June 12, 2011. "McD's values ALL our customers. Diversity runs deep in our culture on both sides of the counter."
McDonald's official statement:
The company also issued a statement for publication on Mashable.com:
The sign is obviously a hoax. As a company and a brand we have a long and proud history of diversity inclusion across our system on both sides of the counter.
From our management crew, franchisees — across the board, we’re very proud of our record of diversity. This is unfortunately an example of how rumors can outspeed the truth. Over the last 48 hours we’ve been tweeting and striving to clarify that this is a hoax.

someone is a bit uptight.
like i said race is only an issue becausewe make it an issue otherwise it is simple to ignore, and by ignore i mean not even think twice about someones race. i have been called directly to my face and casually to boot (like it was okay) Honkey, by a black man. I am also referred to as white boy quite often. my point is race is moot, we are all primates.

So you know what I say... Let the lil bastards kill each other untill it involves YOUR child.. then, we can look at a fix, but only when everyone opens their eyes.. not just lable makers.
The state of our youth, our cultures, and our races sickens me daily.

yea let them kill each other , and the problem will solve it self lol . Yea i know it sounds great on paper ,
yea many of them won't listen , or care , but that doesn't mean to give up on em !
yea the state of youth is messed up in society . But alot of it , is what enviroment and ground work the "adults" shaped for those youth to grow up in . Much of our byproducts are a fuel source , (one of many) . We gotta be the change we wanna see , a wise man once said .
End of the day were all humans , with broken ideologies and philosophical views of life that stops us from working together ..
ignorance the silent plantary genocide mech. lol
