Yesterday, while driving through northeast Atlanta (DeKalb County), I saw a plethora of Popeyes restaurants, all packed with fried chicken connoisseurs waiting to taste the new crispy chicken sandwiches. Some people are not happy with Popeyes’ success.
There is a movement to discredit and slander Popeyes’ good name, as some on Black Twitter accused the “white corporation” of launching a viral marketing campaign that targeted Black people in poor neighborhoods.
In response to the backlash, Popeyes asked influential Blacks such as DJ Jermaine Dupri and rap mogul T.I. to step in and clear the air.
“Just in case you didn’t know #Atlanta you ARE supporting Black Business when you get that Spicy Chicken Sandwich from @PopeyesChicken,” reads a meme reposted by JD and T.I.
They want you to know that baseball legend Hank Aaron, who resides in Southwest Atlanta, owns 27 Popeyes restaurant franchises around the Greater Atlanta area. And Mack Wilbourn, who is a person of color, owns the #1 and #2 Popeyes franchises in the world.
T.I. captioned his post: “One time for the OGs. #UsorElse.”
So when you stand in line to taste the crispy fried chicken sandwiches that all of Twitter is buzzing about, rest assured that you are supporting Black businesses.
I am so sick of hearing about this damn sammich, folks comparing it to chik-fil-a’s sammich…the memes about this damn sammich on fb.
Is it that serious?
Black people and chicken smh the myth became truthbuster
People are fighting in Popeyes about jumping the line. Then at the Lafayette, LA workers got fired (because they recorded) them adding extra pepper in the sauce and putting other unidentified liquid on the sandwiches.
Would love to support. BUT, most Popeyes are in the hood…..not trying to get carjacked in the drive thru????
That’s all gravy but it’s the ignorant and barbaric images being shown over a dang sandwich is what’s disturbing!
I hope all these restaurant owners give there employees a bonus for being overworked at a maybe minimum wage job. doing a weeks worth of business in a day calls for a bonus. im not talking about a free meal. cold hard cash. hopefully, they called in more workers to help.
im appalled at how many jerks took pictures of the workers. did the boring life picture takers pay the workers to get a picture. just exploitative.
Lawd…we still on the chicken sandwich craze….I am curious…was certain neighborhoods target?
If we only spent this much energy on our own marketing and dollars…..how far we would be.
Open post: I thought the Brown’s took Leola to the lu lu farm years ago. You finna trying to tell me she out and drunk texting again? This is the post she posted but Bobby’s attorney issued a statement saying lu lu Leola is lion. Guh, please.
“Yes Bobby Brown got hit by a SPEEDING car WHILE WALKING! And NO he was NOT in a car accident! This car CAME STRAIGHT FOR HIM & TRIED TO DAM KILL HIM! Broke his bones! BOTH his legs are messed up! And whoevers saying he was inside of a car IS A DAM LIAR! My brother was WALKING down the street AND A CAR CAME STRAIGHT FOR HIM!!! AND HIT HIM TO KILL HIM!! THEY REPORT EVERY DAM THING ELSE HE’S EVER DONE IN HIS DAM LIFE! SO WHY DID NOT ANYONE INCLUDING HIS SO CALLED WIFE GO TO THE PRESS WITH THAT ONE!!?? WHY DID YOU NOT WANT THAT TO LEAK OUT!!?? YEAH I KNOW WHY!!! OH YES THE HELL I DO!! AND YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WILL!! I CARE NOT! BUT I TELL YOU WHAT I DO CARE ABOUT! MY BROTHER THATS WHAT! AND I HAPPEN TO TRULY LOVE MY BROTHER UNCONDITIONALLY!!! AND BETTER NOT NOTHING!! AND I MEAN NOTHING ELSE HAPPEN TO MY BROTHER!! YOU ALL ARE NOT GOING TO KILL MY WHOLE FAMILY AND KEEP THINKING YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT!!! NO NOT THIS ONE!!! NOT ON MY WATCH!! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!!! IM CERTAINLY NOT YOUR PUNK!!!
I’m over it. This country worries me…. we hop on a fruitless bandwagon and ride it till the wheels fall off. Not so much speaking of those buying the sandwich, but tell me again why this is newsworthy????
I, too, attempted to purchase a Popeye’s chicken sandwich, but sitting in that line was a hard no for me.
And furthermore, supporting black business is not the end all. We should support our own and our own should reciprocate that support back into the needs of the community. I don’t see any mention of that.
I’ve heard Popeye’s new chicken sammich is good but it still can’t touch Chick Fila.
Every since I started following celebrities on Instagram I’ve noticed one thing, they are just like you and me which means they fall for the okie dok like everyone else.
I support Hank Aron anyways … he is literally related to me … chile …. I just saw the line at poppeyes and shid …. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9f34da3e46b4f75aef74b115fe15b2585166030f4800f6ddbd6d102ba85d0edc.gif
OMG….
Don’t listen to Willie D. It’s like the blind leading the blind.Lol
Have you tasted it? I tried but the lines were way too long. And the crazy thing is I’ve heard that some Popeyes kept people waiting in line for an hour when they knew they were already out of chicken. SMDH.
It is better than Chick Fil A…I got one way before Black Twitter got a hold of it…the meat in the sandwich is much more and I like the crispness of the chicken and the sauce…but aint no way Im standing in line with all these crazy negros to get another one…
I can’t take either one of them serious. I need another source ?
Black folks c’mon smh!
I live in Montgomery, AL. I tried this sandwich at least about two months ago prior to it going viral on social media. This sudden fascination only illustrates the influence that social media can and does wield. There was a violent incident at a local Popeyes over the weekend, allegedly over this sandwich. “Black people fighting over chicken”. This is the most stereotypical BS I’ve seen in a while. Our behavior, at times, is embarrassing.
Won’t touch Popeyes because of their business model and poor customer service. Chick-fil-A will make sure your food is ordered properly and served in a timely manner. Last week was the last time I will ever step foot in a Popeyes and it is ridiculous for them to make their customers wait more than 15 mins for a chicken sandwich.
I went to 3 Popeye trying to get one those sandwiches line was in the street drove off and took my butt to chick fil la
I’m sorry maybe I’m in the minority but I do not like Popeyes chicken. I tried it years ago and did not like it at all. Now the cajun turkey I get from Popeyes forThanksgiving is tasty. But that chicken as I remember was nasty.
And not ounce of their opinions influences me. THE P.O.S. sandwich was a disaster in some locations. I FOR ONE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT. I SAW NO HYPE PROMOTIONS HERE IN D.C. I make a GREAT CHICKEN SANDWICH ON A BRIOCHE BUN at home. .SO BYE!
I was talking to my Mr. about this on Saturday. These owners are making a killing! I hope these employees are rewared for such hard work. They have to be doing three times the load as before.
if I were a celebrity, I wouldn’t give ANY corporation free pub. With the voices T.I. and JD have, I’d be using my powers for good and helping people whose lives could change forever because of ONE tweet… I’d be tweeting out pictures from a dope black artist who is trying to get into the game… putting a link to a fly a$$ed un-signed youtube artist… forwarding memes from a funny a$$ed person I follow on instagram.
I would NEVER be like Tyler Perry and Spike Lee by re-hiring the same black folk over and over and over and over again – I’d be making black stars like I was manufacturing them MFs. Every film, I’d hire my principle/marquee celebrity and hire an unknown QUALIFIED actor or actress to play the supporting role and then send that MF or MFkette out into the world to GET IT… and do the same thing with my next flick. I’d put new black folk on the scene like a puppy mill.
Tyler still hiring himself and David and Tamela Mann and Cassie Davis and the dude who played the barber on House of Payne over and over and over again.
Spike Lee keeps casting himself and his sister and Danny Aiello and Giancarlo Esposito and John Turturro for every single film. Why can’t you just DIRECT and give that role that you played yourself to an actor who could use the work?
I guess that’s why I’ll never be – I would be too busy trying to make sure everybody gets some.
It’s pretty sad when a police officer has to direct traffic off a major highway because people are blocking the road to get to popeyes. Took me an extra 10 mins to get home today smfh and that was at 1030am. I can only imagine what it’s like now that its lunch time.
The entire casts of how to get away with a shonda rhimes show seems to have been in a few of Tylers Productions
I read somewhere that this sandwich was a distraction from the Amazon being on fire ??
it’s easier to work with someone that’s familiar to get the job done quickly with a loyal following.
Thats too much like right
“Chick-fil-A will make sure your food is ordered properly and served in a timely manner.”
_____________________________________________
So true. Chick-fil-A’s customer service is outstanding. In all the years they have been opened it has never waivered. And I agree it is ridiculous to make customers wait longer than 15 minutes.
Trust me, ain’t nobody following Cassie Davis and Tamala Mann, the dude who played the barber and, the lady that plays the little old lady on that restaurant sitcom. That, I can assure you. Directors hire new actors for every single film but, for Tyler Perry – it’s just easier to use the same people? The same man who goes around talking about how Hollywood ain’t hiring black folk is too lazy to HIRE some black folk?!? Because it’s easier to just use the same ones?
I wonder if Jermaine Dupri has tried one of the sandwiches. He’s supposedly been vegan the past 12 or so years.
It really did, and where they getting all that dayum chicken. Whos lab was the meat produced in!
Well, of course the light skinned pretty dude has been in several Tyler shows… but, isn’t that my point?
Huck and annalese and I can’t remember her name but the dark skin one has been in one.
Please STOP! Tyler has hired even well known actors that weren’t getting any work that other directors refused to put in their films Like Taraji Henson,Cicely Tyson, & Mary j Blige to name a few. That are NOW working regularly because of his exposure.
People need to STOP looking for a reason to put black successful people down in the industry. I’m so sick of people picking on Tyler(whom I had a chance to work for) . He needs to be commended for ALL the black people he employs in front of and behind the camera. No matter who it is.
Support Black businesses!! https://media2.giphy.com/media/2aPePPqpAf5jwjtt2p/giphy.gif
Double the staff and pay them more. Nothing wrong with having a successful product. But a unsafe, under payed work invornment shouldn’t be accepted.
I don’t eat fried food anymore. But when I did, I remember Popeyes being real greasy. I’m sure nothing has changed.
I’ve always wondered if TP was hiring those same actors because he watched Spike do it.
I will be happy when blacks stop cooning on the internet over these processed chicken sandwiches. We get it, it is good but Jesus enough already. https://media3.giphy.com/media/yoJC2PohbZsHR5pDbi/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
Nah, these corporations pay them to use their celebrity to influence the masses to fall for the okie doke.
Kid: Can we get a Popyes chicken sandwich?
You: We got chicken sanwiches at home.
LOL! I heard that! It is still a processed chicken sandwich and I don’t get the hype.
What you’re NOT going to do is tell me that I can’t have an opinion on Tyler Perry – that’s what’s not gonna happen. I don’t care if you had a chance to work with St. Peter and got the hook-up… if he’s letting the same people in the gates – I’ve got something to say.
Who TF is “picking on Tyler” that’s a grown a$$ed man. I’ve said SEVERAL times that I’m proud of his success and what he’s achieved – but this is the ONE area (besides the fact that he won’t let anyone help him create his content) where I have an issue.
So, he hired some out of work actors – does that change the fact that Tamala Mann and Cassie Davis are written into EVERY show? If they had the “following” you’ve convinced yourself they have and that’s his justification (that, or he’s lazy cause ya said both).. then point me to the David Mann, Tamala Mann, Cassie Davis, Palmer Williams, Patrice Lovely films they’ve done without Tyler Perry…
Hollywood is about MONEY – if you have a following, they’re coming. Point to the justification behind the fact that they’ve ONLY worked for Tyler…
It is so embarrassing and shameful! The one by me has had a none stop line. The thing is all of the restaurants are sold out so not sure what folks are buying at this point.
When I used to eat fried food, I remember Popeyes employing the most ratchet, rude, and dusty looking customer service-less Black folks they could find. Based upon your comment, it sounds like nothing has changed.
Popeyes fry their chicken in lard
Who cares… People don’t look up the resturant owners for places before they stop for a bite.
Why people mad about other people’s choices in food anyway. McDonald’s serves billions daily and have minority franchise owners as well.
The main thing that people should take from all of this is the power of the black influence. When we stick together on real issues things can change.
Use this example of black marketing as motivation to do something meaningful and productive.
That time I told the cashier to come around the counter and tell me how she felt (paraphrasing to provide the clean version) was my last time stepping foot in there. I had to apologize to the rest of the customers because I went there. It was funny because they all had my back. One lady told her you can’t talk to people like that and asked her what was wrong with her!
The memes are funny
Right… even when you write a role and play it yourself – why not write that role and give it to a black man? I understand why he would need to be Madea – but why is he playing the attorney nephew too? That’s a role that could’ve gone to a black man…
Why does EVERY one of your shows have young people PRETENDING to be old people – why can’t you hire an older actor to play an older character?
Tamala Mann; young woman playing an old woman
David Mann (although he’s the one exception because he’s pretty good) young dude playing an old dude.
Cassie Davis; young woman playing an old woman
Patrice Lovely: young woman playing an old woman
Palmer Williams; young man playing an old man
Tony Vaughn; young man playing an old man
LaVan Davis; young man playing an old man
I ain’t saying the brother can’t cast who he wants, but it makes ME side eye.
Who said Popeyes under pays?? What’s unsafe about the environment??
They won’t though.
Maybe but not the antics.
MF or MFkette
DEAD
The sammich is good. I wouldn’t fight anybody over it but I would definitely give someone the stank eye if they jumped line.
Nothin. Not a damn thing. If it’s unsafe to fry chicken, you need to be sweeping. LOL
People kill me wanting minimum wage people doing MINIMAL wage jobs to make top wages… gat damn it, if you on fries, you’re SUPPOSED to make $8 – that’s incentive to take your a$$ to school. Burger King isn’t SUPPOSED to be a career. It’s for high school students who move on and go off to college and then the next set of high schoolers take over.
If I’m an officer manager who started off as a receptionist at a dentist office making $7.00 seven years ago, and now I’ve worked my way up to $16.18 per hour… why TF should the MF who ain’t doing $hit but putting the lettuces and (not enough) special sauce on my already PRE-MADE filet o’ fish come in the door making ONE dollar less than me?!?
Did he follow his post up with the addresses of the 29 restaurants?
When did this happen?
All this over a goddamm CHICKEN SANDWICH???
Wow.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they released a “new” sandwich and got some shit in there that’ll fcuk you up in the long run. If the government wanted to further fcuk up the black community, all they gotta do is put it in fast foods and we will line up like they giving away free Jordans. Smh
Niggas always falling for the okie doke. No wonder they say “we’re the most gullible people”.
Popeyes’ stock is looking really good chile!! I don’t eat that shyt but do yall thing lol Stop at their parent company Burger King and grab a vegan whopper too lbvs
That part! We are so easily distracted!
Me and the folks that work in those establishments lol 7.50 ain’t enough for the lines they dealing with. And they have everything from robberies to brawls in the ones by me. The least they can do is get them a security guard
“ Point to the justification behind the fact that they’ve ONLY worked for Tyler.”
Because they can that’s why. Tamala & David use to be part of Kirk Franklin’s The Family group and Tamala won a Grammy for her hugely successful MEGA hit “Take Me To The King”. So they both have had success with and without Tyler.
I’m done I’ve proved my point.
Goodbye!
I and many of my family & friends are on a health kick. I can’t eat that food anymore. I have diabetes and I’m watching every calorie and carb. I don’t know why black franchisees still want to push high caloric food on black people.
We are dying at a really fast rate because of food.Why can’t we get a Freshii franchise?
Are they really only paying $7.50 ??
Too bad they ain’t blk owned all across the country!
I waited a whole hour for 40 pieces of chicken…>Wasn’t a happy camper…I’m going to need some fries. drinks and some tenders…Not my problem that the store manager went to another store and they called you in on your off day…Three peeps was running the store…It was mad crazy….LOL
This is some of the dumbest sh!t I have ever heard of. This world is going to hell in a ole greasy Popeyes chicken to go box.
Oh. Yeah, you definitely proved why David and Tamela Mann aren’t in FILMS other than Tyler Perry films – it’s because Tamela SINGS. So, Hollywood filmmakers know she’s busy with Tyler and concerts. Got it.
KFC turned into Popeyes and let me tell you…They gave away so much free chicken that it closed down for good. All Blacks was up in there running the store. I was in the Army…It was funny…They stole almost everything one day….And they closed it down….
Exactly… Those jobs are for beginner’s in the career force. I’m sure they pay the same as all other fast food places. And idk why people act like Popeyes is hood because it’s in every area in my city including upscale areas.
I agree it is better than Chick-Fil A, but I refuse to stand in line for a sandwich or anything…..no ma’am
Good luck to the Popeye’s franchise owners and fried chicken connoisseurs but I am investing in my arteries.
I’m still waiting on the, “we need to DOUBLE the minimum wage!” folk to explain what happens to that person who ALREADY makes $15 or $16 per hour… all you did was create a whole new class of minimum wage earners.
You think someone is going to continue to do assistant manager work when the mfs who dump the trash making the same amount?
Inventor Of Fraudulent Temperature ‘Hockey Stick’ Is Humiliated In Canadian Court
Michael Mann is an unrepentant and belligerent Technocrat who deceived the whole world with his so-called ‘hockey stick’ temperature model. His humiliation in a Canadian court should be a fatal blow to the entire climate change scam. Defying a judges direct order, Mann has refused to provide his data for public scrutiny. ? TN Editor
Went to Popeyes last week (not to get the sandwich but some Tenders). The first one had closed the dining room cause not enough folk showed up for work. The drive thru was almost spilling into the street. The second Popeyes had a long line that dwindled after they announced they were out of the sandwich. One guy claims to have paid $10 for a sandwich he bought off someone in the parking lot. Then came in the dining room and said he’d pay $15 if someone could get him another one. #TheNewCrack
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b4a597918699b48f266b5919f795f2d5c13b5253b9f7df5b5c9690a23e18b8b1.jpg
A bitter and embarrassing defeat for the self-styled ‘Nobel Prize winner’ who acted as if he was the epitome of virtue, this outcome shames not only Michael Mann, but puts the climate science community in crisis. Many hundreds of peer-reviewed papers cite Mann’s work, which is now effectively junked. Despite having deep-pocketed backers willing and able to feed his ego as a publicity-seeking mouthpiece against skeptics, Mann’s credibility as a champion of environmentalism is in tatters.
But it gets worse for the litigious Penn State professor. Close behind Dr Ball is celebrated writer Mark Steyn. Steyn also defends himself against another one of Mann’s SLAPP suits – this time in Washington DC. Steyn boldly claims Mann “has perverted the norms of science on an industrial scale.” Esteemed American climate scientist, Dr Judith Curry, has submitted to the court an Amicus Curiae legal brief exposing Mann. The world can now see that his six-year legal gambit to silence his most effective critics and chill scientific debate has spectacularly backfired.
But at a time of much clamor about ‘fake news,’ it seems climate scare stories will have a new angle now that the United States has officially stepped back from the Paris Climate Treaty. President Trump was elected on a mandate to weed out climate fraud so his supporters will point to this legal outcome as vindication for a full purge. It makes a mockery of statements made by Mann last February when PSI’s Hans Schreuder and John O’Sullivan publicly backed their colleague, Dr Ball and endorsed the revelations in his book. Mann reacted by moaning:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3c6aad64c9fcdcae38d8a700e3b707b0b7e20ce85cba60f775e434c8da491e41.jpg
Minimum wage where I live is like 7.25 so I was being generous lol
let me go stand in line then….
Yes it is outstanding and Chick-fil-A’s employees will do it with a smile. I suspect the core of their training is applying proper customer service. Popeyes has had over a week and a half to find an easy solution to this problem. It’s simple supply & demand but there are still reports of long lines and pissed off customers. Then they feed the media stories about black people fighting over chicken. SMDH. It’s not the chicken that has people pissed off, it’s the fact that they’ve paid for a sandwich and waited damn near an hour for it. No one wants to be taken advantage of. Perhaps they thought that it would create even more of a demand. Wrong! No one is going to continue waiting for a simple ass chicken sandwich. They’re crazy! And not only am I not waiting in long lines, I’ve decided to eliminate Popeyes entirely for my personal take-out menus. Fuck ’em! They’re exploiting the black community and running all the way to the bank.
I am an 80/20 healthy eater. Sometimes I will have something fried, at no time will I do rice or pasta though. The sandwich is good, second to Shake Shack which is still my favorite. Do what works for you as with any and everything else.
Climate change is an effing hoax and all of your tax dollars have been stolen for capital gains. The liberals are career criminals that try to steal your first born for abortions if they could to sacrifice to their demon Gods.
I would think all wages would have to shift. Which is why minimum wage will never be that high… Even if Bernie promises it ?
A new trend will start soon & this will be forgotten.., welcome to the world of social media
They’ll be ok, the hype will die down soon. They’re paid to work their shifts and still get their lunch breaks. If they work overtime they get time and a half.
They’ll be ok
The sandwich is not that serious. Social media is such a joke at times
Easily!
It’s pretty funny that even 3 years ago Michael Mann refused to release his data. When is he going to release it to the public? How in the world does fake scientist Michael Mann expect to win if he doesn’t release his data and code?
Corruption runs amok with the Climate Change (and associated “green energy”) crowd.
May the truth finally be realized – and may our communities, landscapes and wildlife recover from the destruction of our healthy living spaces.
No special sauce, no cheese! Best part is the bread. Kfc chkn & waffle sandwich was WAAAAY better ?????
The dozens of Billions wasted by our government on generating and perpetuating this hoax is nothing compared to $5.7 Trillion doled out to members of the AWEA for windmill development and production which can never make a serious dent in our energy demands.
LOL
This is ridiculous. That chicken sandwich was once apart of Popeye’s menu when I was in high school and that is over ten years ago! It was actually a combo meal. I don’t see what the big deal is. Popeye’s has been a staple in the black community for as long as I can remember! I grew up in the projects, if you were broke, you ate Churchs, if you were hood rich, you ate Popeyes!
Why do we need TIP and JD to speak out? All of these saviors in our community but nobody being saved! I’m over it!
Its all about the money .. I refuse to wait in a line for anything that everybody else is trying to do .. I am a leader not a follower ..
I can’t wait. This trend was worse than most I’ve seen. People taking pictures at Popeyes and doing videos. I’m disappointed in us, but what should we expect from the masses.
??
Let’s see if these fools also stand in line to vote ?
Yo rappers single handedly saved the cognac industry. Before rappers started talking about it Hennessey was a niche product that not enough people were buying it. Now it’s one of the most valuable brands in the industy. All for free
The sandwich is not NEW at all. It had been RECYCLED and REVAMPED for years! In high school, it was a combo.
Exactly. Consumerism breeds capitalism. If the minimum wage goes up to $15 per hour… these apartment complexes gonna want some of that. The cell phone company is going to want some of it, Wonder Bread is going to want some of it… if my company has to give me another $7 raise, they’re going to charge YOU, the consumer, to make up for that extra money… so the inflation rate will make everything even worse.
So if business picks up double and now I’m doing double the work I did before I shouldn’t get a raise? You got the same amount of workers and they doing double the work and your business making double the money but I still get 7.50!? Don’t ever become a union rep lol
I agree….you don’t have to fight others when you find it’s sold out. Come back another day. (Like we tell the rain) ANYTHING new in the black community will take a while to get with ease. I’ll look for it around the New Year. Had my bout with standing in line in the heat just out find out they sold out. Not happening again,I’ll just go to Chik fil A…they still exist…lol
Nope…lol
Do we have to make everything racial? Can’t we just buy a chicken sandwich because we like how it tastes? smh
The Post-racism America is more shrewd than the racist America.
My god, has racism become insidious.
Whether black owned or white owned, lets not front like Popeyes doesn’t contribute to the deadly pandemic of obesity in lower income black communities. Those chicken sandwiches are what 5,000 calories?
With most of knowing that Chik fil A leads in the chicken sandwich area, them advertising that it will give Chik fil A a run for its money will make us try it.
I saw two women fight, customer and woman that work there.
Lol… this reminds me of The Boondocks episode called “The Itis”
Popeyes one of the better paying fast food gigs
Ok? ?
Where? My daddy owned night clubs my entire life and he repeatedly corrected me, “I’m not in the night club business – I’m in the alcohol business.” I worked for him for years and he sold more cognac than gins, wines, liquers, or bourbons. When was cognac dying?
I can’t speak directly to the HENNESSEY brand, but giving credit for saving all of COGNAC to rap music is a huge stretch.
More important than the calories are the sodium and cholesterol in our food. Some good food, such as almonds, are higher in fat and calories but they are so good for you.
My sister has been taking BP pills since she was about 25 and didn’t understand why. I went to her house and went through all of her food. She was mind boggled seeing how much sodium was in some of her favorite foods. We went to a restaurant yesterday and now they put the nutritional info on the menu; one meal had 4,060 mg of sodium ?? One damn meal. It would take me 5 days to reach that. We need to do better.
Apparently they’re working at the same pace as before with hour long waits and 15 min prep time after taking orders.
You’re making a big fuss about nothing ?
Well you said Assistant Managers not even supposed to be there bc it’s not a career. Who is supposed to tend the store if nobody made a career out of it?
I’m sure none of those black business owners want them clowns out there acting like they ni99ers and contributing to the black ppl and chicken stereotype!
Now, they DID change Cristal sales… and almost destroyed the brand by the time they were done because rich white folk were buying Cris for years… when rappers started talking about it, regular folk were buying it in the clubs… but there was a cost to the brand. Rich folk want exclusive. They don’t want to be drinking the same $hit that they’re drinking in any club in the hood, so they stopped buying and the company understood that we are fickle and only as loyal as the next hottest thing so, once they lost their core customer of 50 years and the latest, hottest thing for rappers came out, they were in danger of losing EVERYTHING… so, they had to rebrand.
Well I just bought My chicken at Walmart. Homemade chicken sandwich, No line,
They made $20 million in a week or two off these sandwiches. I don’t think it’s a huge fuss for them to slide their workers some bonus money. Maybe not long term no. But a production bonus for sure. No?
lol That’s a damn shame!
I didn’t know Hank Aaron was still alive.
What if they stand in the voting line WHILE eating their sammich? Win-Win.
How is it the same pace and the company is making more money? To make more money you have to be selling more products at a faster pace, correct? That’s how they keep from paying more smh people letting them get away with flawed logic. And this will all get lost cause of these foolish distractions smh I shouldn’t make a fuss about getting paid 7.25 a hour at one of the busiest restaurants in America lol ok
Actually a young man in Charlotte used the long lines at his local Popeyes to register voters. So hopefully yes they will. Shall see
It’s 690 LOL…..https://www.prevention.com/food-nutrition/a28771284/popeyes-chicken-sandwich-nutrition/
Nope, the one down the street start at 7.50
I think it’s regional. One here start at $8.20
More high blood pressure. More diabetes. More obesity.
Yes! NO! You’ll have to pick a side! White eggs or Brown??
This is why I don’t follow trends. They always end in pure ignorance and I don’t do ignorance at all. Fighting over a chicken sandwich that they can make at home or go to the next one.
I think they are 450-480 calories… that is like 5k to me!
I choose to eat something with less fat and less sodium.
Great idea! But will he have to pick them all up and then take them to Popeyes after they vote?
Please don’t @ me with “that’s all restaurants!” but I can imagine the fervor and fury with which they are making these sandwiches.. dropping buns and pickles all on the floor, chicken and people’s fingers getting stepped on in the chaos.. then they pick it all up and slap it together… chile….PANDEMONIUM!!!
Funny… I was about to comment on how most of those in line would not stand in line to vote.
Great to see someone capitalized on this!
I don’t know why I just chuckled and in my head said “please don’t add watermelon”.
L0l@ if you were broke, you ate Churchs,!
Never seen the show but this made me chuckle.. I’ll have to find it.
Cognac was a tiny small niche market mostly old rich white ppl before black ppl put it on their backs. France was exporting all of their supply wanted to produce something else.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.cognac-expert.com/complete-history-of-cognac/%3famp
Even this author agrees.
Church’s was cheaper?
Dem popeyes memes with shirley caesar td n sarah jakes was funny as hell.
Funny The bread was the only appealing thing in the description to me.
I am not eating bread these days…
He owns krispy cremes n some churchs chickens.
I can’t eat it because of that , so I’ll just keep looking at the picture of the chicken sandwich lol
Hmm. Now that would be a good idea to increase voter turnout. A coupon for a free chicken sandwich for everybody who turns out to the polls. You know nigros would be lined up around the block starting at 5am ?
Sugar is a k1ller. Stop feeding the kids a Snicker as a treat.
What if I told you that Your votes don’t really matter in the grand scheme.
Y’all think Popeye’s is SLOW now?
Black folk would be in Popeye’s clowning after they stood in line to vote and now have to stand in another for the sandwich! rofl
Yeah while whole paycheck who serves only natural food sells fake meat.
People using this as an opportunity to drag black people. Low income and low educational status workers so I want to be SURE the good is highlighted

“The main thing that people should take from all of this is the power of the black influence.”
We should have Black banks, gas stations, beauty supply, grocery store & hotel chains by now.
EXCELLENT CLAPBACK!
I hope that they consider something like this in Atlanta… land of the “VOTE STEALERS!”
That’s horrible, I know because I am working on my blood pressure and the food out here is terrible and loaded with sodium and calories , it’s very dangerous and I am now watching what I eat from these restaurants and what I buy in the grocery store .
Open post: Prince Andrew says it was a mistake and an error to spend time with Jeffrey Epstein. I wonder how that conversation went with him and his mum the Queen. She looks like she could use words to take a grown son down to his knees. Oh to be a mosquito on that wall when that convo went down.
Oh damn. Now I don’t even want to try their new sammich.
Probably true
People always trying to make something about race, its a damn sandwich and all the Popyes was packed, Dwhite and them was in the line before everybody else.
Well, after seeing this foolishness I don’t even want watermelon anymore. Smdh

Baby eating those at my age and genetics is a nono.
Lots of black people own Popeye’s franchises. My local one is owned by blacks and the area is predominately white. Nothing but white faces sitting in that drive-thru line.
This. Not everone in the lines are/were black
Well go head Mr. Aaron!
I don’t care who owns what or who we supporting. I’M NOT EATING THAT SHET.
Oh no she didn’t. Yeah I was just looking at some yesterday at WF. Glad I left it right there. What would even possess… never mind.
I tasted a small piece of that sandwich well over a month ago. It has a funny taste much like popeyes chicken. For some reason their food taste like they don’t change their grease. Another thing I support businesses based on what I like, not because they are owned by a certain group of people.?????
THIS!!!!!!! Smh.
That too, definitely forgot to mention. I make “sweets” from fruit. Snickers and other junk candy is eaten sparingly.
In the words of Fabolous: Money ain’t the root of all evil now, attention is”.
My husband said kat williams told us to stay away from that damn voodoo chicken ???????
Yes! It is still tradition in my family. All of us do this to this very day.
It is sad because that chicken sandwich isn’t NEW. That’s just like revamping Jordans I had in junior high school and people still line up for them. I refuse.
Bree…C’mere…U AND ya family need a whippin.
I drove past Popeyes yesterday and there was a line around the block!! The restaurant was packed and there were mostly white and Latinos in there so I think it depends on the neighborhood you’re in.
I know no one really gives a shit but I made my own chicken sandwich over the weekend and it was divine. People hype up the dumbest stuff.
Lol
Maybe it depended on the h00d U were from. https://media1.giphy.com/media/rKUL3O35FX5JK/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
NO!
Copy cat recipe is right at our finger tips..idk whats wrong with folks
Vote for who? The white conservative racist or the white liberal racist?
I did too!
Exactly, smdh https://media3.giphy.com/media/qZbg0tAmwhGla/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
And I’m sure it was damn good sis!
Yes it was and I didn’t have to stand in line!
Lol! Don’t do us that. It’s true. When I was broke, that two piece and a biscuit was the truth from Churchs. There was a time it was $1.99. But since I have a lil change, I upgrade to Popeyes when I want to. But chik-fil-a is really my go to now.
Yess especially the fights! & they always show US fighting!
Yea, they gonna keep “revampin” it and putting shit in there you don’t even know about. Then we wondering where all our ailments coming from. I’m good off Popeyes and others like it.
Everybody eats Popeyes for the most part because they always have specials. We just post everything we do for social media and that is how blacks are always bought. We follow trends.
Hahahaaha!!!!! OMG…..this is too funny!!
rofl…
“since I have a lil change”
Gone Gurl! Sounds like you’ve gone from Kmart to Macy’s!! I aint mad atcha.
That’s what hurts me. To see us fighting over a $4 sandwich when you can hit up your local grocery store and purchase chicken breasts and make your own. I’m disappointed that we will fight over something that isn’t beneficial to us or our bodies. Not saying I haven’t had a chicken sandwich from Popeyes. I eat out for leisure not because of the trends. That sandwich has been apart of Popeyes for years.
Yes, honey! God is good. Before I got hitched I started upgrading like crazy. I still sneak into Dollar Tree once a week though! Haha!
??????
Please do. They sneak it in there too. We don’t need a lot of sodium for our food to taste good. Use herbs to season your food. Smoked paprika is amazing, so is cumin, coriander, cilantro, curry, lemon juice, and turmeric.
I stopped eating at a lot of fast food restaurants. I do have my chik-fil-a every now and then but it’s not a weekly or monthly thing for me. I make most of my own food from scratch now and I’m careful about what I eat.
McDonald’s has a glass ceiling for a REASON… because there is ONE job that actually pays anything halfway decent – location manager… the rest of y’all just on fries until you figure it out. It ain’t like you have 6 managers per store and you have something to strive for… you got ONE.
lol
Glad 2 see ti n jermaime set the record straight bcas folks always talking smack about black folks dont build générational wealth for their familles n unless they flossing on the gram with stacks or buying red bottom shoes name dropping they broke. Just bcas a white face isnt upfront for the owner doesnt mean a black person is not behind the scene collecting the green. They got that ole skool quiet money they compete with nobody but themselves n dont need to call a news conference everytime they get a deal. Watch the supreme court case of black billionaire byron allen he suing comcast for 20 billion dollars for a slice of the cable pie.
If people took the time to research the amount of chickens that are owned by the USA and the amount of chicken being sold just doesn’t add up.
I seek out black business before l shop anywhere else n l love it. Other races seek out their own on purpose b4 they spend their money but when we do it it is a problem.
Girl, same! When I used to I would notice how my body would react and how I would feel, both mentally and physically. This is the same reason I won’t let my son eat no damn McDonalds. He tells me, “mommy, so and so has alllll the happy meal toys”…and I tell him, “that means his mammy don’t cook”. Periodt!
I call this new “chicken” fad the Chicken Challenge Psyop: planned disease and outbreak.
Just watch.
I know imma get stoned, but I preferred church’s over popeyes. Popeyes chicken is too damn meaty like they make their chickens work out or something, especially the tenders. I don’t like the texture. That can’t be real chicken, how they have that pull apart chicken thing? That is not found in nature??? And that chicken sandwich looks too damn meaty as well. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f470b805c5f1937fb58f0406bbbea97874186704bbf25bfaf374d740266096a.jpg
They really do tho. Some guy posted a live roach in his order from our local Popeye’s. I haven’t been there since.
It’s not a problem to me where ppl spend their money. I spend my money where I LIKE, not because of the race of a person. If the business I’m looking for is owned by black ppl it’s all good. ????? To each it’s on. It’s a none issue here.
That sandwich is thick and huge. It’s taste just like their chicken, it a funny taste to me. I usually ear chicken out from this local place where I live called Gus’s Chicken. It’s is very good & not too bulky. lol
Popeyes where I leave is usually a hot mess in general but yesterday I couldn’t believe the line for the drive thru, it had to be at least 30 cars in line!
I had no idea what was going on until I got home, those people were in line for A Chicken sandwich! I don’t understand was the bun made of gold!
Some people will fall for anything, scary!
I just dont understand what black business and fired chicken have to do with one another. I live in a predominantly white area of town and the lines were just as packed for that basic sandwich Wendy’s was selling 10 years ago….I swear some people act like they never had shiiii….
You are absolutely right the chicken taste and look like it’s been cooked in old grease! I can’t stand to walk pass the restaurant because the smell of the grease make me nauseous!
Why we gotta always be doing something constructive 24 7. That is like saying yessum massa l s a moving reight alune. Yes sur l s a werkung ai lnt gots nos time 2 take a break If these were white folks standing in line n setting up mini tent communities for a phone or a television set for a whole week would u b saying the same thing.
Exactly. I’m not a mommy yet but I started making my own food so that when I do become a mommy, I can make my healthy choices for my family. Had to get my husband use to it. He loves my cooking, although he prepares most of our meals.
The only name folks wanna see tied up in this mess is Clinton. Other than that who cares.
WELL THE CHICK-FIL-A ON MLK BY THE AU CENTER AND THE ONE OFF OF MEMORIAL/GLENWOOD OFF OF I-20 ARE BLACK OWNED BUT I WON’T BE RUNNING OVER THERE ANYTIME SOON AFTER I FOUND OUT THE CORPORATION P.A.C. GIVES MONEY TO TRUMP. WHEN PEOPLE BUY FRANCHISES WITH THESE BIG CHAINS THEY STILL AREN’T 100% OWNERS,THEY ARE PARTNERS WITH EACH OTHER AND THE CORP CAN PULL A FRANCHISE IF ISN’T NOT BEING RAN CORRECTLY AND/OR PROFITABLE. NOW I HAVEN’T HEARD OF POPEYES SUPPORTING ANY POLITICAL PARTY YET BUT IF IT COMES OUT THEY ARE AND I DON’T SUPPORT THEM THEN I WILL BE PULLING MY BUSINESS ASAP!!!
OAN: JD & T.I. ARE NOT PEOPLE I WILL BE TAKING ‘ANY’ ADVICE FROM WITH THEIR FLIP FLOPPING ASSES……..JENNY JONES!!!
Why does he have to say something about anything and everything all of a sudden? His lips look like someone’s flipped eyelid.
Oh and one other thing, I wish people would stop acting like one this culture eats chicken. I don’t think I’m wrong here but I believe Chick-fil-A and kfc are the highest grossing restaurants. Most of the dishes when out to eat are ordered with chicken more than a filet. The coonhounds though are a terrible insult to all who fought and died for the right to be accepted and respected. Society is an ungrateful mess.
??
I live in a white neighborhood and we have a Popeyes and white people are in that Popeyes buying chicken all times of day. Also no one is mad at the long lines at the drive thru and inside of chick fila for their tasteless soggy chicken.
I don’t eat fried food anymore myself nor red meat. I’m trying to understand the hype.
TI is transitioning to his second career as a community activist/civil-rights activist.
Al Sharpton is gonna have to retire one day, you know ?
I made myself some baked chicken strips and they were delicious. At least I know what’s on my chicken.
That hand thing GROSSES me out. Like what the hell is that?? UGH.
No lies told.
You’re smart, you see it.
Black twitter went from hating on Jay-Z for his NFL deal to cooning for GMO fried chicken over the course of a week.
Then comes T.i with damage control. You can’t
Make this shit up.
I believe that is true.
Exactly! I agree
I just fukn yelped sooo loud!!! who the fuk came up with chicken shaped like a baseball mit? I cant!!
That’s great sis. You’re on the right path already! I did the same with my son and he loves to eat raw veggies and loves all kinds of fruit. I also cook somewhat healthy meals…..lol I am trying to get better though. As long as it’s not processed fast food, I’m good.
Nobody calling for us to cease blk on blk murder and crime but all you have something to say about a sandwich. Smdh.
It’s a damn clown show if you ask me. I just can’t with black folk! We stay getting duped and no one is ever the wiser.
This is just another distraction from an important issue. Anytime they have celebrities involved to keep the shenanigans going, it’s a red flag that there is an important issue at hand that they need the masses to ignore. Same script, different foolishness.
Hello !!!! We are the most powerful and influential race and IDGAF what no one says. Just imagine what we could do if we truly looked out for each other and invested in each other like others do. We’re better and much smarter than the rest.
Wow
Right! That’s what I said. I was like folks gonna really eat a catcher’s mitt?
I know. It looks like a catchers mitt.
Bwahahahahahaha!!! “voodoo chicken”. I can’t recall the comedian who did a stand up about Popeyes talking about that black lady who does the commercials. Had me ROLLIN’. He mentioned something about voodoo and her singing slaves hymns. smh A mess.
Those chicken filets look awfully thick. Lol anyway, I don’t see the point. Let people purchase in peace. I’m so sick of TI ! He’s not pro black. He’s pro black man. And there’s a significant difference between the two. With his lame ass. I try to buy black owned as much as possible. All of my natural hair care products come from black businesses. However, things like makeup, accessories, etc are from white businesses. It is what it is.
If a gatdamn “chicken” has knuckles and can make a fist, I’m good.
Gross, this shit looks like the Hamburger Helper hand.
We do… There’s a list of black owned business published online somewhere.
It may be harder for us to get business loans etc. but some have been able to do it regardless of the obstacles they set in front of us.
I’m not a big fan of the pickles & chicken combination.
That trash is killing black people I don’t care who own one
LMAO!!!! I knew right then and there popeyes won’t shat. Say what you want, but I ain’t gonna be a turncoat on chick-fila. They ain’t NEVA try to serve the masses chicken that could dap.
Thanks!
If people are going to complain about it not being black owned, they are going to have to give up a hell of a lot of other sh*t in their lives.
Exactly, we are not “in the hood” yet the Popeyes chicken is packed. Maybe folks just like chicken. The Bush’s chicken is packed too and they are way over priced.
My suspicious az …I stay far away from anything that gets too much attention and blows up this fast…I’m thinking why do they want us to eat this chicken sandwich so damn bad?…I’ll pass, I been cooking my own food for a while now…
Exactly So true Cincy has had numerous African American killing each other.. Lately it been younger generation.. We have more important issue than best/worst chicken sandwiches ?????
I’m talking about Chains…like:
KneeGros-R-Us Savings & Loan
Say It Loud…I’m Black & I’m Proud Beauty Supply
Cornbread Haven restaurants
Sweat ya Hair Out resorts…Antigua, Bermuda & Jamaica
That sandwich look good
legend Hank Aaron, who resides in Southwest Atlanta, owns 27 Popeyes restaurant franchises around the Greater Atlanta area. And Mack Wilbourn, who is a person of color, owns the #1 and #2 Popeyes franchises in the world.
—————————————————————
But what about the thousands of Popeyes that are not in Atlanta? They’re not black owned. So go crazy with GMO chicken in Atlanta because some are owned by blacks who are probably married white.
I still have not tried it. It’s sold out everywhere. There’s a classic chicken sandwich and a SPICY chicken sandwich, the spicy one is the newest one. So it’s the same sandwich but just spicy. Seriously everything’s good when it’s spicy. The most bland thing will taste good with hot spices.
You said what I was thinking.
I’m Chinese areas in NYC not only do they own the Popeyes but they are eating the ish out that chicken as well
It was Kat Williams! ???
THIS…that cloned az meat….I will starve and drive by all these fast-food joints…go home and COOK …
Yes He is.
Don’t sneak…go Boldly!
?
As if we don’t have enough issues with obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes!
Ps: where you been?
Lol!!!!!!!!!
Yep!
The Popeyes where is live is so chaotic all the times I’ve ever been. They get your order wrong, argue with you about it and takes FOREVER to get service.
Meanwhile, my school has to bribe parents with gift cards to get them to attend parent/teacher conferences ?????
There are good options of black owned makeup brands. I use beauty bakerie, juvias (although I’m not rebuying what I owned), uoma and some indie that I’m going to try soon. We have options. Fenty not fully black owned but gets an honorable mention
thats why it tastes so good lol
That’s very sad and I know what you mean. I hate that parents don’t take their children’s education seriously. An an educator, school is just a highly paid babysitter’s club.
Nope my family isn’t running out to get that and that special sauce with nothing but mayonnaise and paprika anyway!!
Thank you for bringing up the obvious. Black parents be lining up for chicken sandwiches games phones sneakers and running like hell away from their children’s school.
People be out there lying talking about everything it’s OK if you want to know how a culture is doing look at the children and their education levels.
I do! I just have to sneak and make time to go. My hub bear likes his quality time when I’m not running our businesses or making boss moves.
Yup. And when the kids get home from school mama is online either trying to find a man or dragging somebody on Twitter.
Thank you!!
No that’s why it’s ain’t fit to eat.
Yes, honey! You ain’t lying! Some people are just breeders unfortunately. Although, I want to homeschool our children, if we decide to put them in school, my husband and I will be at every parent/teacher/principal/counselor conference. I play no games when it comes down to education.
Exactly! So glad someone said it!
Ummm did the sandwich get released in different markets at different times? I had one in Houston a few months ago and it made my stomach hurt. So ummm…yeah…not understanding the hype all of sudden.
I noticed you mentioned husband. The most successful black kids I know have a mother and a father in the home. And they also homeschool the mom is stay at home with an online business.
What happened is these females out here breeding and don’t know shit about parenting. Take a train after school and see how much attention the single mothers are paying to their children they ignore them.
The mother is on the phone the child is being neglected or the child is playing a game there is no loving interaction. I feel sorry for this generation of black kids they’re getting less love and less parental attention.
I come for black males and I also come for black females because they’re the ones raising the kids mainly half assed.
Or mean to the kids and the kids are scared, some of these single mothers treat their kids in public like their slaves!!
Anytime you critique black people sone fool comes up and calls you a white person. That’s black male privilege you’re not supposed to talk about all these black males killing each other.
The truth is black wealth is inherited through marriage less marriage less inherited Black wealth that is a pure fact. Look at all the single mothers doing go fund me for basic life necessities or for funerals. No marriage no money.
Which is why white females are hunting wealthy black males to marry like the predator they want that inherited wealth for their white side of the family I can’t blame them.
Lol???
I actually told a few parents if they put energy toward school they be so far ahead of the game. Whew chile
I’m right there with you. We had some organic chickens and made our own!!
I’m sorry.
They act like their children are an annoyance!
I’ve taught parenting classes to young parents ages 13-21 yrs. We refer to this as Lap Time. While bus, driving or store use this to expand their vocabularies, explain things or just be dialed into the babies. But most are practicing to be instagram/IG models. Whew
Truth.
Thank you.
It’s pathetic.
But let them get mad they rush to the school to curse out the teacher or principal.
Oh yes! My husband and I take care of business over here. He is fully aware, and this is before we met how I am concerning certain situations. I don’t play that mess. We have discussed our children’s educational plans before we even have them, the same way we discussed our lives before we moved in together. We have our differences but my husband knows I take care of our household very well. He calls me the boss. I was doing this before he came along. We want our children’s education to be a priority in our home because I was very gifted in school and so was my husband, but no one picked up on that while we were in school. I was always bored with school, couldn’t wait to graduate. My husband and I have several businesses but we are accumulating enough money so that we don’t have to work so hard when our babies come. Prayers to God. I want to homeschool but my husband wants them to go to regular school. I told him we will follow his lead on this one. The administration at the school will know myself and my husband. He is really big on learning.
Pipeline trip prison is real.
Yeah it’s a wrap. They want to be thots or hoes and they think it’s cute. Obese with belly rolls in the club trying to relive their teenage years.
Black single mothers definitely need parenting classes.
They know not to act crazy around me because I defend children.
Instagram models are just escorts video cam sex work everybody knows that they are hoes.
Thank you.
I organized other parents for coffee chats and we would be a presence at school. Actually, most schools really appreciate helicopter parents??
Did no one learn anything from Undercover Brother?
??????
Out of curiosity I went on Facebook pages of few young ladies at my church??????
These girls were flat advertising.
Forget the hoe stroll/track or Backpages.com they selling their bodies via social media.
Didn’t the late Bishop tell you’ll Popeye’s was bad for you….?now here we go in droves lining up for that grease. I saw the line for the drive thru today wrapped around twice smh.
Thank you also for all that you do. Although I don’t work in a classroom, education is very rewarding.
Oh yeah I see them all over social media And that’s being an abusive mother because the children are sexualized as well.
That’s why black women have to stop breeding young so they can sow their wild oats go out and be a hoe do things experiment without damaging your children.
Really well l wish u will tell the married folks in my family 2 stop trying 2 borrow money from this single woman with 2 kids. Then when l say they get mad.
I’ve seen and heard too many negative reviews on Juvia’s Place customer service. And that’s the one thing I’m big on. I no longer use Camille Rose products due to her trashy ass customer service. I had to go through my bank to get a refund, because they never answered the email I sent about damaged products. I attached plenty of photos, and still no answer.
2,000 of them your correct.Of the 2,000 Popeyes when you look at the whole piture a very small percentage of the 2,000 Stores are Black owned.
The Brand Headquaters that owns Popeyes is a Canadian Company, Restaurant Brands International. Pitures and names posted below of the Executives.
Not ONE Black C-Suite Executive, Restaurant Brands International owns Burger King , and Tim Hortons . The people who make the Strategic Decsions about everything at the top are white. Majority of their customers are Black.
So its safe to say they are eating good off us with 32 Billion in sales.
They have black mid level managers I have Frat Brother thats a Regional Manager, but we remain the minority in leadership by far and completely blocked out the very top.

You got to get your boundaries up. Let them stay mad. Just say no and change the subject or end the conversation.
And you know you are the exception not the rule.
The brokest people I know are single mothers. The black couples with the most wealth are married.
But everybody expects black women single mothers or married to help them out with money because black women carry the community.
Damn shame. Offer them Popey’s sandwhiches, that’ll lure them to the meetings.
Nice! xoxo
Knuckles!! LMAO
I been here. just traveling across the country. Seeing the sites
Y’all see that UNDERCOOKEDNchicken sandwich from POP w those worms in it on twitter???? Twitter @joekay …..YOOOOOOOOO! WTF???
lol i know its bad but lard makes things taste great. i eat it in moderation.
IKTR!!!
I Swear!!!
Yooooooooooooooo I legit feel like going Vegan
??????…..I’m watching it t’night! I was in tears when I heard it. ??
Actually, we started having school dinners catered by local restaurant and sure did get folks there.
I would need to build up a few workouts to accommodate that calorie intake.
Yuck
Health crisis waiting to happen….
Some of the brokest people l know r black men. They have no home or car n carry a kroger sack with them going from house 2 house trying 2 b the neighborhood d because he knows when she is tired of his low d n wallet he gots to go n his azz is over 40. A lot of single moms l know got homes cars travel n kids in college while married couple kids r drop out or the school is the parents 2nd home. U forget to mention that Wendy williams was a single mom while married while lela rochen is a single mom while married. The list goes on n on. Stop acting like marriage is the holy grail to a woman happiness when they r going thru hell to stay there.
We are helicopter parents but try our best to not to annoy the teachers but make it clear that we are involved parents. We let the teachers know we are there to assist them facilitating success for our kids. It’s a partnership. Nowadays parents want to be their kids “friends”. I have enough friends you are the child and your job is to go to school and learn with books and pencils.
Most fast food places have at least 2- 3 location managers per store. If they sell breakfast it’s a breakfast manager. A mid shift manager. A closing manager. They report into a district manager. Shift leaders and assistant managers help help provide relief for PTO/regularly sked days off for the store managers and rotate. So no. Not just 1 manager
I understand you’re triggered cuz you’re a single mother.
I can’t agree with anything you say except about black males.
Obviously you are anti-marriage.
And I would really like to see this fantasy world where single mothers are so fly and married couples are failing where is that exactly?
Hass to be down south because it sure as hell ain’t here in California?????
The thing about broke black males is they aren’t taking care of their kids so they can surf being broke.
Broke black males are highly supported by everybody they usually have somebody making him a plate giving him sex and given him a sofa to sleep on.
Whereas the broke single mother who is raising a broke black males fatherless children is scorned and made fun of for making poor mistakes. Nothing but single mother panhandling on Facebook. I saw one asking for her followers to donate $100 to pay some essential bill.
It’s better to be broke solo then being a broke parent which is how most of these black males are getting by because they’re not raising your kids the women are.
I can only assume by your name you’re in Atlanta well I’m out here in California it’s a whole different lifestyle. Out here single mothers have to work much harder and the married black couples are thriving and winning.
Lard has swine in it, I don’t eat garbage.
Eeek, the sodium! I love almonds. They are good for controlling blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. My go to breakfast is steel cut oatmeal topped with sliced almonds, blueberries and a banana. It is so heavy that you can just have two meals a day.
Killt any chicken sandwich I might have slipped up and ate from Pops.
Wealthy Camille been married for over 40 years n spending her golden years alone bcas her husband turned their home into a sex crime scene n drugged women. Poor b smith 2 b married over 20 years get sick n husband tucks her in only to go into another room n tuck in his mistress. Married n wealthy must b nice. I forget about patti labelle who divorced her husband after 32 years n lala husband was on a yacht with another one instead of her on her birthday. Makes u wanna go hmmmm??
The Post-racism America is more shrewd than the racist America.
My god, has racism become insidious.
Whether black owned or white owned, lets not front like Popeyes doesn’t contribute to the deadly pandemic of obesity in lower income black communities. Those chicken sandwiches are what 5,000 calories?
Every single one of those women you mentioned including the one who is possibly being elder abused has a better standard of life than you do.
Again, I understand you were triggered as a single mother and are of the anti-marriage black female brigade??
Frankly though many single mothers are selfish as hell because they rarely talk about the children but that’s another conversation right.
That’s why I have women friends of different races. Most black females who are single mothers are anti-marriage and love to bring up bad marriages.
The white Asian Hispanic and Indian females live the protected life because somebody inherited some money insurance or property at the very least some legal uncles cousins etc. that help much more support than the basic black female single mother.
Who is actually struggling raising the children alone but lying about it.
That’s all I have for you in this conversation thread?? enjoy your life as a single mother who disses marriage and I’ll enjoy mine.
Oh my what are we becoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Yep this single woman is enjoying life to the fullest by traveling the world when my married friends havent traveled 2 the next county. Imma sleep real good knowing that l have a it project manager microsoft certified for a major corporation with so many initals that covers her business card n a fulbright scholar phd while the married kids in my family didnt finish high school. Yep lmma sleep real good.???
I had this chicken sandwich 2 months ago so why are ppl just now talking about it and yes I live in Atlanta
https://media1.giphy.com/media/RNBUGv7Kj16Ks/giphy.gif
Last Tuesday i bit into a drumstick from Popeyes and it smelled like urine. It’ll be awhile before I go back. Never going to that one again. I forgot to call he health department!
For real people are shucking and jiving for high cholesterol and strokes … all this energy over nonsense
Where’s Nipsey when you need him to promote Dr Sebi and a non alkaline plant based diet ?????
Or just cook at home and stop frequenting these dirty restaurants
????
It’s not just that it isnt black owned it’s that black People are promoting the hell out of it and their sales have gone up over 20 million dollars. We need to stop shucking and jiving for these folks. It’s free promotion and they don’t even have to pay to market. Sure other things are not owned by black people but at least let them work hard to get the dollar
What about white on white crime and Korean on Korean??? The black on black narrative is just that a narrative. People kill who they are in a demographic with
That’s deep but yet simple. True. O my you made my mind expand.
I think so, I’m in Ohio and we just got it
Smh
Since I got a case of food poisoning three years ago I ain’t never bought food outside again. That shit was the absolute WORST
i know it has the pig in it. thats why it tastes so good. a lot of ppl dont like pork and i understand why they don’t but i do. we agree to disagree lol.
Maybe they should market these at voting booths in November!
OH SHIT!!!!! AHHHHHHHH
No, you agreed with me so we are not disagreeing at all. You said you know it’s bad and understand why people DON’T eat Swine. See I don’t understand why people DO eat Swine, so I can’t agree to disagree.
I live here too and I didn’t hear about it until this campaign started…..I don’t eat fastfood like that and when I went to get chicken for the family occasionally I don’t think I paid attention to a sandwatch, the marketing just wasn’t there, plus when you got to popeyes that’s not an item you’d particular go there for. Most people go there for the chicken and bypass the shrimp. I see more marketing for their deserts than I did for this chicken sandwhich…and if I went to burger king I wouldn’t look for a chicken sandwhich.
Now, on to my real question which is better (popeyes or chich fi la)because I have had to put my family on a popeyes chicken diet because I can not make it off the street to the drive thru.
im saying we agree to disagree because pig tastes good to me and that overrides why you and others think its garbage because i’m still going to eat it.

Understood. I’m not on twitter so I really didn’t even know it was blacks promoting it to this extent. I saw a few news reports about a chick fil a/popoyes feud, saw a few clips of folks waiting in line and that’s about it. Didn’t know black folks on Twitter was the driving force.
Had those same white women who voted for dump stood in line for some popeyes chicken we wouldnt have him as president.
Please sebi looked like he needed to do a popeyes chicken sit in. He looked hungry each time l saw his picture.
He meant pokeeye wasnt good for your health
Lol ? I would say Chik fil A bc Popeyes put too much damn mayo on my sandwich lol my bf was the one who actually put me on the sandwich. I got it one time and never had the urge to go back ? it was good but not that good for it to be going viral
“He’s pro black man” Say it again! Most black men are pro black man i.e. Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poiter, T.I, Bill Cosby….they could give a rat’s ass about black women.
Idk I still want to try it because it looks really good on the picture…I keep thinking it will be better than chic fi la but I keep hearing mixed reviews. I’ll have to tell them to definitely hold the mayo because I cant stomach that. Thanks
Yassss!!!
Looking hungry and being healthy are two different things. Popeyes is disgusting and I would never eat anything from there
Yep it’s sad where energy is placed
I ate it and it made me have to take a dump too
