        Well he had me until “regardless of context”. In what context is the N word acceptable?? Goodbye 👋

        Haven't bought any of their nasty pizzas in years, and I'm not about to start. I'm sure he still gets a cut of their profits, so he won't benefit from any of my money.

        I'm more surprised that ppl are still buying his pizza since this isn't the first time he's displayed racist behavior. Get with it ppl. The pizza isn't that great.

        Empirical example of short-sided racist mindset. This nasty slice affecting unintended targets, instead of race he deplores. Firstly, franchise and stock owners, then hard-working minimum wage employees and their families. Macro-level, US economy. Racism is a costly endeavor.

        Time to pay for using a word so casually knowing it was a company conf call...that brings shame to most and a chill down my back just because some POC use it a white people ever.

        Interesting that racists think an apology suffices.

        @PapaJohns Name him. Blame him. Tar and feather him: Bring him out of business. It worked for John Schnatter.
