It's probably a response to this...
As for their 365Black, I think it's ridiculously patronizing.

Like the unique African Baobab tree, which nourishes its community with its leaves and fruit, McDonald's has branched out to the African-American community nourishing it with valuable programs and opportunities.
Holy shit.

It's so bad I had to do a whois just to make sure they really did this themselves. On purpose.
The clear statement is that if you have dark skin that is the single most important thing about who you are. And of course Africa Africa Africa, because that's what being blank is all about.
Wow. How is this not insulting?

"We here at McDonald's are celebrating ethnic identity with the vigor and energy of a slave uprising in a southern plantation in Alabama in 1850."

At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be <s>exploited</s> celebrated 365 days a year — not just during Black History Month. That's the idea behind <s>the McRib</s> 365Black.com.

Hey, Malcolm, be nice. McD's is just trying to make reparations to the black community for.... ummm... acting too white? I don't know.

"McDonald's: Because fuck whitey, am I right, blood?"
Ok, that one was stretching a bit. But I definitely get a 70's blaxploitation vibe from that site.
Jive turkey.
