Chick-fil-A scrambled to explain itself after a reply to a customer with the phrase “your community” sparked allegations of racism.
The social media backlash began last Friday after one user tweeted the message “grilled spicy deluxe but still noooo spicy nuggets” to the fast-food giant’s official account. “Your community will be the first to know if spicy items are added to the permanent menu, Don!” Chick-fil-A’s account responded. A review of Chick-fil-A’s social media account showed the company has frequently used the phrase in recent days to convey they will announce when spicy chicken nuggets return to their menu in specific areas.

Chick-fil-a obviously meant geographic area, but you cannot educate idiots, so don't waste any time on that.

When Chick-fil-a bowed the knee to the Rainbow Mafia I stopped caring. I'd rather deal with an unbeliever than an apostate.

"Community" is evidently another one of those terms that the Left gets to use, but we don't. It's this year's "white power" gesture.

Yes OP and #8, we all have to overlook things but once the public Christian messaging & marketing of a company does not match where the corporation gives consistent generous donations ? Bye bye. What you compromise to keep you will lose anyway.

Did you know that the word "niggardly" has nothing to do with race?

Those people constantly invoke the tribe mentality, i.e., our people, and herd-like expel any black conservative. But if whitey says your people, they bang the drums.

Racist.
Racist.

BOOOORRRRing. "Racist" means nothing any more. The word is worn out, used up, and has no more power.
Drop dead.

The left is always redefining words and phrases to mean something other than what they originally meant. Of course I've lost favor to CFL anyway as the quality of their food has slipped. And there are other competitors out there with better product.

Maybe they'll also let the "community" know - - when watermelon is added.
Gee - - don't these leftists have any kind of happy life?

No doubt that in basements of liberal home across the country the nebuilizers are getting a heavy workout as the lefties hyperventilate over this.

Dont see why this is news. Got to be something with the libturd author he was triggered when ChickFilA decided to close on Sundays. As for customer who didnt like "your community", choke on it. Just keep cranking out those delicious sandwiches.

Chic-fil-A deserves the blowback from the controversy. Will they stand up for themselves this time or send a big check to the Black Lives Matter goons? Either way, I will not be stopping there anytime soon.

I go to Chick Fil A occasionally. The lines are always long. I don't think they're worried.

My sympathy for businesses and individuals who are unfairly attacked on social media is nonexistent when the attacked apologize or abjectly offer explanations. There was absolutely no reason for this company to address this latest smear at all.
The complaint originated from a tiny pack of people, maybe even just one crank. None of the cranks on Twitter ever have or would set foot in Chick-fil-A. These spineless companies are as harmful to society by acquiescing to this shakedown as those who initiate it.

I heard the word 'communities' enough on the news that I want to barf. Communities of color, underserved communities, the LGBTQIAXYZ community, the BIOPIX community, the Laxtinx community, etc...

Sorry Trannies, I will not recognize any of your Pronouns until:
1. You prove no one else is using the same Pronoun, we wouldn't want to get confused.
ps. Have you trademarked your Pronoun? If not you can't legally use it.
2. You properly use my 117 Adjectives, in the Correct order, one mistake you start over.
A few for reference are 'Handsome', 'Brilliant', you also have to grovel and say; You're Better than me.

“Your community” simply means the neighborhood you live in. BIPOC are so quick to assume racism where none exists. Maybe it is they who are the racists.

It's so fun pretending to be a victim and watching the white-guilt crowd squirm.

This company lost my business when they kowtowed to the LGBTQ-pedo set by halting charitable giving to Christian charities, and when the CEO said White people should shine bLACK people's shoes as an act of contrition. And now that they took a knee, there's no stopping the demands to kneel down again and again, and maybe to even bend over. Go for it, you stupid clucks; you asked for it.
