  1. Well, the tape was released. This video and 99.9% of the comments here did not age well.

  2. The dishonesty of this piece is near, if not, libel and slander.

  3. The tape was released even before you even left this comment. He didn't use the word for himself. He was quoting someone else.

  4.  @shred5  People are misconstruing what he's saying. What he's clearly saying is that they're trying to get the n-word usage unassociated with himself as far as optics. You just hear what you want to hear. The actual recording of the usage shows it was in paraphrase. He was not using the word for himself.

  5. And Schnatter doesn't have an issue with that, because he's not racist, and this piece is garbage. Schnatter said from practically the beginning that he was quoting what Colonel Sanders used to say. The tape's been released now, and that's exactly what happened.

  6. TYT lies. Tape's released now. Schnatter was right. He was quoting the language that Colonel Sanders used, not using it himself.

  7. Have you heard the call, by the way? You haven't? John's claim is that he was talking about the verbiage used by Colonel Sanders.

  8.  @greggpoppabich9281  lol I'm not telling you to argue.. You're doing that yourself. I'm telling you to take a trip for once out of the ass end of partisan media and get some different and unbiased perspectives.

  9.  @greggpoppabich9281  He was quoting him for the purpose of demonstrating how bad it was, so your argument there is irrational. The tape shows how he used it. It was to demonstrate how bad it was. You don't have to believe anything .It's fact. Just go listen yourself.
    2
  10. Why? Because he quoted Colonel Sanders, which is all he was doing?

  11. Yeah, no one's heard the call afaik... John says he was quoting the types of verbiage Colonel Sanders used to say... That's a huge difference from what most media is saying...

  12. Unless you're quoting someone else, which is what he was doing when he said it.

  13.  @professorswaggamuffin7572  That depends on the cost of living where you're at whether it's too low or not. Yes, they have to raise prices. The food industry runs on a very thin profit margins. They cannot simply absorb the costs of higher pay with profits. The customer must pay more. I've done my due diligence on this including comparing tipping and non-tipping countries, cost of food, employee pay, etc. Without tipping, prices for food is higher, employee pay is generally lower, fewer people are eating out. Even when it comes to a relatively poor country like Chile, where tipping is strong in their culture, a lot more of their people eat out regularly as compared to someplace like Australia where tipping is not at all customary. That means that for a place like Chile, making up for the base cost of operations is spread out over more dishes served, leading to lower cost per dish not just for lower employee pay from the restaurant but also because the cost of operation per dish is much lower.

  14. Oh please. The tape's been released already. He was quoting someone else. He didn't use the word for himself.

  16. TYT lying yet again. They didn't explain Schnatter's standing argument for years that he was quoting the language used by Colonel Sanders, not using it himself. The tape shows the truth that he was quoting to show how bad it was.

  17.  @PinkieAmyRoseTheREALone  That's absurd to say that any word can't even be used in a referential way.

  18.  @PinkieAmyRoseTheREALone  A right you can't exercise for fear of repercussions isn't a right.

  19. Shaq doesn't use the N-word, so I'm sure he likes him. John claims that his use of the word was paraphrasing the types of language that Colonel Sanders used to use, and that's a huge difference from how this is spun. Now I don't know if what John is saying is true, because no one's heard the damn call. But TYT and a lot of media are just assuming he used it for himself as opposed to quoting or paraphrasing.

  20. The United States, as always, takes it way too far. That's what a lot of people in Europe I don't think get info about regarding the goings on in the United States. Our far left here goes out of its way to do some bat-shit crazy stuff. This is an example. John claims that he used the word while paraphrasing the types of words Colonel Sanders used to use back in the day. No one's actually heard the audio of this phone call, to my knowledge. The source of the leak is a company called Laundry Service that was overseeing anti-racism training for the company that allegedly attempted to extort $6 million from Papa John's before leaking the information. They never leaked the actual audio to my understanding. So everyone's just assuming one side of the story when there is a huge contention on intent in the use of the word.

  21. Don't lie. Delivery drivers make $15-20 an hour on average. Yes, the minimum wage for tips, depending on where you live, may be $3 an hour, but you will always be paid at least either the federal prevailing minimum wage or the state's/municipal's/county's minimum wage for regular hourly workers, whichever is greater, if tips plus the base wage do not at least add up to that. The $3 an hour wage is only paid when tips exceed the greater minimum wage.

  22.  @professorswaggamuffin7572  sigh... Ok, first, if you're making $10 an hour, at least in an urban area, delivering pizza, you suck. If you're in a rural area, $10 an hour isn't that bad because cost of living is also significantly lower. Second, sometimes people don't tip, but more often than not, they do. Third, without tips, the menu prices are higher leading to fewer people ordering and employees are paid less on salary than on tips because the market won't bear such high initial menu prices to keep the pay the same as with tips. With or without tips, it's the customer who gives the money that goes to the employee because that's how it works. A company doesn't have money until the customer gives it to them. In this case, the customer is able to give the money to the employee directly who keeps that entire share, there are more orders because of low initial cost and that's a much better prospect for the employee and the company.

  23. John claims he used the word quoting the types of things Colonel Sanders used to say. We can't know cause the audio was never released by the leakers, which is suspicious. Media just assumes the leaker's version as gospel. It's messed up.

  24. TYT is just lying. Schnatter has been saying for years that he was quoting language used by Colonel Sanders. He finally got the tape, and has proven that to be the case. The sleazy company they hired, Laundry Service, reportedly tried to extort $2 million to not disclose. Now the tape's out though, and you can hear for yourself what Schnatter's been saying is the truth. He was quoting, not using it for himself.

  25. He was just quoting Colonel Sanders, and the tape is out now proving it. Laundry Service tried to extort $2 million from the company over it. Schnatter's been saying for years, it was a quote or paraphrase, not used for himself. Now that the tape's out, it proves Schnatter was right.

  26. He was stumbling over his words there. Given what he says the context of the use of the word was (that is, benign as he was quoting the type of Verbiage Colonel Sanders used), it seems more like he's trying to say that they were trying to get the public to forget that utterance happened.

  27.  @Eldritch-1  And you're an idiot. We can't have a discussion about sensitive topics if we can't use certain words. Even in Germany where Nazi emblems and rhetoric are LEGALLY banned, they can still have discussions about it and speak of it in historical context.

  28. So if you listen to his side of what happened, it wasn't racist. He states he was paraphrasing the type of verbiage Colonel Sanders used. That's a HUGE difference from what TYT and other media are making it out to be--that he used the word for himself. He stumbled over his words here, but I think he was trying to say they were working to disassociate the use of the word from the company.

  29. The assumption here is that he's racist. I don't think anyone in the media has heard the phone call for themselves. Laundry Service (the company that supposedly leaked the info) had apparently tried to extort Papa John's for $6 million before releasing the information. John claims also that he said the word paraphrasing the type of verbiage Colonel Sanders used on the daily. If he's paraphrasing or quoting, that's a world of difference from using it for himself, and he doesn't deserve being ostracized.

  30. Media is running wild with a misspeak, I think. He claims, and I say "claims" because I haven't heard the call and not sure anyone has, used the word in description of the kind of language that Colonel Sanders used to use on a conference call as part of standard anti-racist training. If that's the case, then no one should hold ill feelings towards that. What I think he's saying, if that story is the truth, is that they've been trying to work to have that instance of utterance forgotten by the public.

  31. Except he wasn't. He was quoting Colonel Sanders' language. He wasn't using it for himself. Schnatter said this was the case from the get-go and said that the company Laundry Service tried to extort $2 million from them under threat of disclosure of his using the term. The audio from the recording is actually out now, and Schnatter was right. He was only quoting Colonel Sanders.

  32. lol You're depending on TYT to tell you this? You shouldn't. The truth is that Schnatter has been saying from early on that he was quoting Colonel Sanders' language. He wasn't using it for himself. Now the tape has been released, and that was actually the truth. Laundry Service reportedly tried to extort the company out of $2 million dollars to not disclose.

  33. Not sure why you would. He only used the word in as a quote from Colonel Sanders. The tape's been released now. What Schnatter said for years was true. He didn't use the word for himself.

  34.  @buffy4500  Running with a "news" story without doing due diligence is bad. John states that he said it in reference to the types of words that Colonel Sanders says. There's no actual audio as far as I know, and there's a huge chasm between paraphrasing or quoting and saying the word for oneself.
    1
  35. The assumption here was his intent on its usage. He never denied uttering the word. He did deny that he uttered it to use for himself. He has claimed that he used it in paraphrasing Colonel Sanders. Is that true? Dunno, the leakers of the information didn't release the audio of the call, which is suspicious. The leakers also allegedly attempted to extort $6 million from the company. It not unlikely John just got railroaded here, and there's no way to know unless someone actually does the due diligence to get their hands on the audio. Instead, many media sources are just running with the leaker's version like it's gospel.

  36.  @ErnestoXavier5426  I was talking about the content of the video, goofy. Just Schnatter.
