    Dear Media, Stop saying that John Schnatter (Papa John) ALLEGEDLY said "nigger." Everybody on the call heard him say it and he has now admitted to saying it. It's not alleged. And it's not all he said. The man is a bigot.

        yes, boycott! But also boycott all of the hip-hop/rap/R&B music that blows up the n-word. That's the bigger concern.

        Yea because papa john learned that from listening to Biggie Nas JayZ and Tupac🤔 While I support your cause it’s completely unrelated to his blatant racism and subsequent fake justification

        he learned it from hearing it amongst HIS people. So what madness are you justifying JZ/Biggie's use?

        We will try this again. “I support your cause”, was clearly what I said. “Justification” of the words usage by rappers and artists of color is “NOT” what I said or endorse. Your original tweet is unrelated to his learned racism. I pray this clarity finds you and your cause well.

        Why was he so comfortable to say it on a business conference call? Part of their culture maybe? This could not have been arbitrary 🤔 I tell you the audacity of people in 2018. 😡 POC are tired of the disrespect.

        I’m tired of it as well. People of color are 100% as American as anyone else. It’s ridiculous that anyone would think otherwise. I’m white, and I’m embarrassed that many white, so-called Americans would disrespect a fellow American over skin color or other factors. 😡

        I read he apologized for it. That would mean he said it.

        Wait ... didn’t you just do the same thing? You just said the n word in saying someone got away with saying the n word. That’s literally what papa John did.
