WARNING: Inflammatory comment / Trolling (denying the existence of white supremacists)
Anyone can claim anything. These mythical 'white supremacists' are just trolls and know how to play the gullible media ( and people) like a fiddle.

Isn't that being a bit unfair to Wendy's - whomever does the Twitter account is an idiot and posts an alt-right Meme doesn't mean the owner of Wendy's is a Trump-loving racist. Well being a racist is one thing, but aren't most billionaire's and CEOs (aside from Tim Cook) of various companies whose products we like to use, are all Trump/Republican supporters because they want lower taxes for themselves and their corporations?
Exactly. Won't stop me from getting a Classic with Cheese when I'm in the mood for one.

I disagree. Dominoes is probably the worst pizza i've had ever. And it doesn't even come with a pepperoncini pepper on the side, like Papa John's does.

That one pepper they throw in is gross. It's not even fresh out of the brine. You can go to Habit Burger and get an unlimited number of plump pickled pepperoncini peppers for free.

So y'all just gonna let this one slide cause you hate Papa John's? Is that not a dangerous precedent to set? Just letting Nazis claim whatever they like in 2017?

Guys, what you should be going after is the CEO's comments.

Something doesn't just become Nazi because a Nazi claims it.

Normally. Considering who the owner of Papa Johns is though and the type of things he's said and supports and thus type of person you're giving money to if you eat there anyway, I'm fine with them having this one. They want him and want to claim him as one of "their own"? They can keep him, then, 'cause I sure don't.

Dang it... I like Wendy's. However, I refuse to support any white supremacist shit. Papa Johns is easily the worst pizza on the market today. So no loss there.

Okay, fair enough. Just don't go screaming at your local Papa John's delivery driver for this.

I don't think the people who are saying Papa John's is mediocre/bad and that's the real reason their sales are down instead of the NFL's protest controversy is going to order it for delivery anytime soon but your concern for their drivers is noted

Their sales will continue to plummet. I'll take Dominos or just make my own for the amount they charge, and I don't have to use garlic sauce for my other choices to be edible.

Normally I don't go in for guilt by association, but the Papa John's guy is a piece of shit in his own right, so fuck him.

Now that is pretty hilarious, a pizza from a company funded by a terrible human being is being consumed by terrible human beings, truly fitting

I don't think anyone here is saying Wendy's is any worse than any other company. They really didn't open the door in the racist way papa john did.

You dream of 4700+ people losing their jobs ?

Exactly my point. Papa John's may have good food or terrible food, but it is a chain restaurant that is on a local level not very much subject to the whims of its CEO. I would imagine that some of those employees are African American as well.

This CEO guy will make out just fine with or without his job, but for a struggling person who depends on a pizza restaurant to live, I imagine it's not so easy.

My point is that it may be dangerous to just let Nazis claim whatever we don't like for whatever reason. Doesn't that empower them even more? By giving them an "Official" outlet to latch on to?
Something has to be worth fighting for, after PJ's owner comments this week I for one can't see why I should support the brand. Plenty of non racist pizza out there

I personally know someone who has gone from flirting with racism to being a full on conspiracy theory alt righter trump supporter culture warrior that want a white ethnostate. This is not me putting words in his mouth, those are his own.

The best thing about Papa Johns' Pizza isn't their pizza, it's their garlic butter dipping sauce. I used to get them when I live in the NYC area, but now that I am in Northern California, I can't get them here.
